Artist's Comments

My entry for the Wacom/Deviant Art Bring Your Visions to Life contest.

This picture easily took around 15 hours and way over 20 layers to complete.
My dreams for the future aren't all that hard to guess. I want to be an artist. I want to be able to get out and paint, sketch, and draw to my heart's content.

Since this is set in the future, I decided to give the classic painting easel a bit of an upgrade. Instead of the wooded contraption, it is suspended by small jets.
~Shatterglass-16 suggested that I do the same on the stool, but with my luck, I would continuously fall of, so I just went with a simple stool.

My paints and palette are on top of a stack of books. I love to read, so I imagined that I would probably keep a few books with me, wherever my travels would lead me.
The dog by the books is my puppy Sweenie. He's a Boglen Terrier (Beagle/Bosten Terrier) and I love him to pieces :D
So he shall stay with me forever!

And it is supposed to be a self portrait :D

I first drew this on paper, then ~Shatterglass-16 was nice and scanned it for me so I could colour it digitally.
Special thanks go to the following for their critiques:

You there human! Explain to me how a creature that has been mauled by a squirrel and can't outrun a chicken can rule the world.

Those aren't ready salted crisps. Ready salted are red, that is terracotta. ;P

Thank you!

If Murphy's Law is taken into account and plans are made accordingly, then things will run smoothly- and that will screw everything up.

Nice job on the hair, first of all, because it looks much better. :) Like the shading in the ground and the sky too.

I am one of the many that will shamelessly proclaim my faith. I am a Christian. I ask only that you respect that.

Not Team Edward
Not Team Jacob
Team Jesus
I win.

Thank you :D

And thanks again for all your help with this :D
