Thats the first one. There will be more.

wow BMW (Alana), that looks awesome!
i can see how it's partly inspired by some of Kai'enne's style, but it's also got some stuff that's definitely uniquely yours!
i love how organic all the shapes in your picture look, everything about it sort of reminds me of a certain kind of butterfly (dunno which one, of course). not just the cocoon hanging on the branch (at least, i presume that's what it is), but also the textures and patterns in the bottom right, the same sort of structures you find on that butterfly's wing, or the veins in some other flying insect's wings (which i also don't know the name of :-P).
i like that a lot, you have obviously spent a lot of time studying the different patterns on insects and that shines through in this work, and not in a creepy crawly way, like a lot of other insect-based art, but just showing the beauty of patterns in nature, and that is quite novel.
That's beautiful!
There's a lot of room for growth in it, like in smoothing out some of the lines and getting more thorough color where you have it, etc, but for a first piece especially, it's amazing!
Great work; keep posting as you have more!

Actually, Zero, a large portion of the right corner was unplanned and spontaneous...I didn't know what it was going to turn out like, or that it would have so many insect parts! *laughing* When I noticed that it did, I decided that the right corner was like the dreams of the pupa, and called it Chrysalis Dreams.
It still needs some cleanup and changes but is otherwise finished. I hope to start my next piece very soon! *smile*
Wow, it's beautiful!
Awesome. :) I really like the mix of blank space and intricate detail. Well done.
Nice job!

My newest one, half finished.

Ah, that is so pretty!
I really dig the composition of the picture - and organic form of the branch.
(and the tiny flower makes me happy, too) :)

What's up with the constant change in signatures, BMW? I'm getting confused.

We're not ignoring this, rather we are simply having trouble addressing it in a way that will cause the least drama.
Fred said to say "Dear Roger: Our head went like a banana and split" or something like that.

Very nice on both! As I said before, the blend of abstraction and natural elements has a good look.
Gonna post the finished version of that drawing above tomorrow.
Sies sleeping right now, if you want to know why.
~Kaimi
Done!~ ^_^

Wow, very very beautiful! I like.
looks wonderful!
Thank you...^_^
~Alana
I really like the newest one!
I'm working on a new one, in graphite pencil. I'm trying to get a feel for the medium, trying out both my typical style and some more realism based drawing.

Oh, your head got crowded. I can sympathize.
Its not that crowded in here. There are only two of us. ^_^

I really like your style... I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with charcoal as your experience with it deepens.

I'm not quite sure what I want to do with it, yet. Everything I've tried has been an attempt to adapt my style to the medium, or the medium to my style. I'm not sure how to branch off beyond that.
~Alana
Just keep playing, I would say, and see where it leads you.

this is neet
are those morning glories?
(i like morning glories... they look friendly[don't ask])
Morning glories look so pretty when the early morning dew rests on their tendrils and their flowers are still in full bloom.
In Oregon, we have these white flowers we call "Morning Glory". They are quite beautiful, but are prolific, hardy, and strangle every other plant they meet.
It wasn't until I moved to Oakland in the early '90's that I discovered that "Morning Glory" is indeed an entirely different plant, and that what we give that name in Oregon is better named "bindweed" or "strangleweed", for its tendency to suffocate everything it touches.

I don't know.....I think they were supposed to be leaves and they turned out more as flowers....:?
Everyone likes them though. ^_^
