Artist's Comments

This is a very clever giraffe. Perhaps he didn't care for the taste of leaves in the first place. I think he probably didn't mind, but he knew there was a better way to live. I'm proud of him for setting out to learn what that was.

I was inspired by a drawing of a giraffe looking at the sun. So if my tumultuous waves look a bit like clouds in the sky... I guess that's the reason. But they ARE NOT CLOUDS. Bah. If I could find a picture of a wave straight-on, I'd study what it looks like and get it right. But I couldn't seem to find one, and I looked all day!

So this is IT.

Oh. Also, a full-view might be in order. But it's your computer. Do what you want.

I don't really understand the new 'licensing' thing. I wouldn't say no if someone asked for just about anything, but I'd like to know about it. I mean... that's kind of the point of showing it around like this. So I can know when someone likes it or wants to use it or something. I'm going to go ahead and not put a license on it, and if anybody wants to talk to me about it, expect me to be very receptive. You just have to do it. Have to talk to me. Have to.

such a cute and interesting pic! :clap:
loved the "tumultuous waves" :D
:iconkamisch42:
Oh but I DID think they were clouds, that's why I thought the thumbnail was so cute! :) I mean...even as waves it's still cute, but as clouds it reminded me of that calendar I had in 10th grade with scenes like dolphins swimming in space & Earth "rising" like the sun over the savanah, with lions too. Who painted those? Hmmm...wish I could remember. As for a lookk at waves...Did you try looking up...um...Christian Lansen, Lanson...something like that? I remember he was really popular on spiral notebooks & Traperkeepers in the late 90's with all of his half underwater paintings. Do you (remember that is)? I'll have to look it up when I get back to work tomorrow...right now I have to go - Lisa's ready to take over my station here, and I don't mind b/c I get to go home :D ~K

Ok, maybe I'm a little bit crazy
:icondippydude:
No, the clouds go perfectly. Everything looks strange, but at the same time simplistic. You did a great job on this, I would never change the clouds.

Don't worry, the mace only burns a little bit... and then you get a nice blush red look in your eyes that everyone can enjoy. ^_^

i love that you actually took some time and drew all those spots on the giraffe because they look bloody great. i also think the clouds/water? looks awesome. overall the idea is just cool. i dont think giraffes eat fish but i mean who cares since its an awesome drawing?
:iconsunlitflowerwave:
I really like that the surface of the water looks like clouds actually. That way it's not only a proud fishing girafe, but also perhaps a girafe who's neck is so tall it's above the cloud line!
:iconnotkristina:
Haha, right on! No, I don't think they do eat fish... that's kind of where the concept began. I liked the idea of a giraffe being able to stand on the ocean floor. Which a giraffe also couldn't do, but nonetheless... anyway, I thank you for your thoughtful comment. :)
