   I'm making progress at last...

but I decided to change the Banksia to the seed pod rather than the flower. The flower was TOO hard, besides, I LIKE drawing banksia seed pods!

Title? I'm thinking about...

'A Pygmy Possum's Mountain'

subtle, eh?

I wish! But no, they are protected under the Native Animal Act - and they are also on the Threatened Species List... the 'watch' file I think.

Thanks for the nice compliments Vicki, Becca and Jim. I am thinking about fading off the rest of the Banksia pod. Taking it to lighter grey pencil. I am frightened if I continue this high level of detail it will detract the eye from the Possum.

Any thoughts on this guys?

As much as I like the idea of the tall Banksia spike I think that might be a wise move... I like the way the tail leads the eye up to the Possum but I can see that too much detailing of the Banksia might make the tail less prominent.

This is looking wonderful... as always...

G'd ears......

g'day........

17. "What Forum problems?"
 
Quote Hey, it's finally letting me post replies!!

The GOOD NEWS...
The forum's problems had nothing to do with the script that drives it - it was a server problem (faulty HD).

The BAD NEWS...
There isn't any! Everything working fine again and we've got a new bunch of smilies to play with!
