Sea Scapes: Ocean Harmony

My sister asked me to paint her an "underwater" scene for her house. She gave me this rough doodle to describe what she wanted.

After much prayer that my sea creatures turn out alright, this here is my finished drawing.

I didn't add the "sea unicorns". I thought I'd save those for a less surreal drawing.

Painting the Wall

Now that I'm a super duper expert in photoshop (who can't still figure out how to draw shapes and get them to intersect and/or overlap), I tried colouring "The wall" picture. The idea for the caption is actually inspired by my friends at Congratulafins who said that they liked this picture because the message they got from it was "that sharks have the right to their fins, just like our right to have out feet to move free".

It makes a pretty cool desktop wallpaper so if anyone would like to have this as a wallpaper, I can put up a larger file on facebook - just let me know the size most prefer.

What is it with ninja poses that makes you want to strike one for no reason?

This is my tribute to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I used to be a big fan. So much that some people called me "turtle". Now, some people call me "sharky". I probably will be referred to as some animal or the other until I die. Or even after.
Anyway, my favourite turtle was/is Raphael. He's the one with the red mask. But when Eastman and Laird first created them, all the turtles wore red masks. I figured that if I drew masks on all the characters, one would assume that they were wearing orange, blue, purple or even pink for that matter (this being a b&w comic strip and all). I rather have the character with Raphael's weapon wear the mask and have people know that the mask is red. Yes, I have weird reasons for why I do the things I do or draw the things I draw.
I shall also confess at this point that I have a thing for swords. I don't like knives and sharp objects thanks to "Final destination" movies, but I love swords thanks to He-man, She-Ra and Lion-O (why do they all have hyphenated names?).
A friend of mine said that the "mouse looks like he is forced to go on this mission and the cat couldn't care less". That describes those characters and the people they're based on perfectly.

ps - This is now my new wallpaper. I actually love it. I can't believe I drew it.

If everyone had a wall, they'd be happier

I really like this one for some reason. Maybe it's the fact that we're on a stone wall. I love stone constructions. And I love sitting on walls and other similar things and just being. It would help if there was something amazing to look at though. I guess this one is also about having someone to share the wall with and not having to say anything.

However, that wall took forever to draw! I wanted to try pasting the sketched characters on an actual wall photo but you apparently need Photoshop skills for that.


I currently have this as my "wall" paper. Pardon the pun.
