Two gastropods play a game of pebbles in attempts to win the favor of a fair young lady.

I spent a little more time than usual on this piece. I tried to incorporate a lot of different textures and brushes. I ran into some tough spots (argggh that umbrella!), but mostly I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Crits are welcome and appreciated. ]]> Wed, 01 Nov 2006 17:03:31 +0000 http://kpetrasko.cgsociety.org/gallery/430522

I was digging through a drawer at my house a little while ago and I found my pug's old pedigree papers. In his little doggy portfolio I found his family tree. Some of the names were really ridiculous, my favorites being Squiggles Huntsmarsh and Lady Laverne of Terryville. So I started thinking about the snobby pugs I could see if my fat dog had a family reunion. Of course the obvious conclusion was a pug with a monocle.

Critiques are welcome and appreciated.

Sometimes in the middle of my sleep I mumble illustration ideas to my boyfriend and tell him to remember them for me. This was one of them. So thanks to him, we can enjoy my sleep induced ideas with their beautiful lack of clarity. I realize that I could probably replace him with a notebook.

Ok, seriously, lately I've been working in a different direction with my illustration. I'm trying to let myself be creative and silly, because that's the kind of person I am. Anyway I'd appreciate any sort of crits, especially on the cartooning/stylization.
