Description
Here it is. This took waaaaay too long to finish. I thought it'd take a good week or so, but it ended up sitting around for a few months...anyway, this is probably the most detail I'm ever going to put in a picture (and it's not that much, compared to some). Enjoy.
Start-Finish: 3.5 months. Without hiatus time: 2 weeks
Mechanical pencil.

Excellent! The shading is astounding. And, it has that hasty-easy look, as though it took only a few minutes instead of a few weeks. Really wonderfully done.
Did you use different shading pencils, or just a #2?

Thank you!
Yup, condensed art. Like soup, but not quite as salty.
Just my mechanical pencil. I suppose I should use a 4B or something. I like those.

Whooooo, you had to march with a bassoon? That's crazy! We don't have a marching band here (we're lame like that). But when we do march, in May, the bassoons don't march. It sucks
I like oboes, though ;_; Oh well, bassoons rock. I like them betterrrrrr.

Cool! it was really cool being in marching band this year, cause we played in the seahawk stadium at a half-time show and held the big banners at... well, i can't remember what it's called, i'm not a very big fan of football. but it was also at the seahawk stadium and i think it was like the beginning of... well, i got to be on tv. and that's cool. even if i look like an ant because they had to get the banners we held, but i was still on tv. i'm REALLLLLLY sorry if i sound like i'm bragging, i'm just excited...

Oh MAN. I really wish I didn't move here. I don't like California nearly as much as Washington. Grr.
I wish I could have seen that! It sounds so fun!
No, it was LAMENESS. It was the LAMEST march ever. The banner was also the lamest banner ever.

awwwwwwwwww..... that doesn't sound too fun.... *sniff* now i feel bad... well, to look on the brighter side of things, at least you HAVE a band. just think if you didn't. actually, don't think about that. that's sad.
i wish you didn't move too! maybe then you'd still... well... of COURSE you'd BE here. i'm an idiot. but then we could go and do lotsa things together and share artwork and have fun in the same band (that is if you'd still go to newport)! yay!
oh yeah, i just remembered something stupid. the bellevue school district's thinking of(well, is) changing Tyee's name to Newport Junior High!!!!! i swear, that's just realllllllly stupid of bellevue.

Aww, don't feel bad! I'm in an extracurricular symphony, anyway.
My parents won't let me join band next year, because they think it's useless. I'm so mad about that. Oh well, I still have my youth symphony.
Yeah...I kinda wish I stayed.
WHAT THE HECK
JUNIOR HIGH? THAT IS THE LAMEST LAME THAT HAS EVER LAMED.
I MEAN REALLy. That is a TERRIBLE idea. Whatever possesed them to think of THAT?

yeah, Bellevue needs to think that one over. probably some other things too... like CHANGING THE DAIRY QUEEN ON NEWPORT HILLS TO A HERFY'S BURGERS!!!!!! huff huff... sorry, i'm still a little mad at Bellevue for that one. but they DO sell seafood there... oh well, you give and take a little.
but seriously, it seems like every Dairy Queen in Bellevue is being demolished for no good reason. i just saw another one today being demolished, along with the dance studio and store nearby... *sniff* and that's where i got all my dancing stuff! WAAAAAAAAHHHH! *sits in corner sucking thumb*
well at least you still have your youth symphony... hmmm, i think i heard that somewhere...oh well. but that's still sad! Band rocks! it's sad to hear it being demoted in such a sad way... ok! i'm being WAY too sad here! i gotta think of something happy here! hmmmm.... Oh, we- no, that's not too happy. well, at least we have the internet! it makes me happy!
as i say again, i'm sad you didn't stay though... but wait, where do you live again? maybe i'll meet up with you someday! yeah, i'll meet up with you when my mom gets her book out, and we get enough money to travel more... that'd be nice.

WOW!!! So much detaaaail!!! I could jist reach out 'n touch it!
Love the bamboo-lookin' horns, an' the gnarled, root-like skin. The underbelly almost looks like weave. The facial structure rocks, I like the taunt skin round the mouth, the crooked, stick-out fangs, and the sweeping motion of the tongue. Tha' eye is blowin' me away, I dunno how you got it to look so... dimensional, but it jist totally rocks. How the horn curves around the brow is neat-o. ^_^ Lovely pic all round, mate!!

And get snapped at by his teeth?
The under-belly took me the shortest amount of time to do, while the top half of the neck took me SO long. Bleeeeeh.
I'm not sure what he eats with teeth like that O_o;; And it looks like the skin got stripped off the mouth
Yeah, the eye turned out a lot better than I thought it would. I think the highlight brings it out ^_^
It took me the longest time to figure out what to do for the horns. I couldn't think of anything at all for a few weeks
