Thats great Falstaff!

PangingJr · Apr 13, 2008, 09:59 AM

yes. I just have to ask you again, how long it takes for this one?

Falstaff · Apr 13, 2008, 10:08 AM

about thirty minutes I think, between two episodes of SG1

sounds like you can draw this one in less time if you want to.
i want to see if i can even finish it and look any good.

That's a really nice sketch Falstaff sir!! Sorry to nitpick but I just noticed their shadows (from the sunlight) are going in two opposite directions. Still exellent though. How do you know they're Scottish btw? And who's been teaching you gaelic?

Awesome work.. according to my standards

LOL...
the shadows are supposed represent the sun, his in the face of the cattle would definitely give you that perspective, and the rain in the background or snow if you like is very consistent with scottish weather spring, summer or fall. The cattle are scottish because our nieghbors in Barton Mills have several, its easy to get aquainted how they look. One is a grumpy old bull and the other a sweet ole cow, they are quite spoiled and when they chew cud the have a deep rumbling noise they make, almost as if they are talking to each other like an old married couple. The background and sky is purely my fancy with a bit of drama.
