(Like Stitch, or Mushu...)<br />Ghosts would be cool too.<br />Or robots, androids..<br /><br />I'm always curious to see those fantasy houses made from really strange things, like shells, books, fruit (Oh wait, there's Spongebob...)... How about a cloud? <br /><br />Characters... A little guy crawling out of a little door behind a computer screen to have a little stretch, and perhaps a little yawn?<br />A tiny little.. uh.. character that lives inside the toy blocks that you use to build your block towers?<br />A little imp escaping from someone's dream to tangle the sleeper's hair?<br /><br />I like little things. :)Mitch G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05002904396187818836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29624250.post-88374093165744956592011-04-24T20:03:14.540-07:002011-04-24T20:03:14.540-07:00Interesting other ideas...

I would like to see someone who is tired or sad or angry <i>in itself</i>, from the inside out, as a person.<br /><br />I'm not sure whether that makes any sense, not sure whether I am right in my analysis, and I also don't know whether it's a realistic challenge, because it's already rare capturing things like that in a photograph, let alone a drawing, but I'll "put my two cents in" anyways.<br /><br />Oh and yes, other ethnicities, and trying other era's and cultures, those were good suggestions too I think.Liannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29624250.post-37707709923128918892011-04-02T20:59:50.045-07:002011-04-02T20:59:50.045-07:00underwater critters is my vote.underwater critters is my vote.arthur norcomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17713843550741339362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29624250.post-77028389800692694582011-04-02T14:25:42.824-07:002011-04-02T14:25:42.824-07:00I think you show more versatility than you give yo...I think you show more versatility than you give yourself credit for!

Could do something dark like an undertaker, or creature. Or you could take it to another culture to change things up. Maybe even think about giving the characters a climate change. So many options!<br /><br />I always get "great" ideas and then forget them when I finally have a moment to myself for sketching. Need to start writing those down. Anyway, Good luck!Kendra Meltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01469215910768047034noreply@blogger.com
