100 Picture Challenge #69: Annoyance

Entry for *Nestalgica's "Out of Your Comfort Zone" Contest [link]

Entry for ~tynmanout's dubious "Turn Natalie into a Squirrel" Contest. Which I'd better win, dangitall.

(Let's kill quite a few squirrels with one stone, shall we? ;) )

For a little background, because I'm sure my regular watchers are now shocked...~tynmanout was teasing me in chat the other day because he knows I don't like squirrels. I don't know why he carried it as far as he did, but he ended up telling everyone in the chatroom he'd give out a sub to the best photomanip or drawing of me as a squirrel. I got kinda steamed but didn't think anything more about it until a couple days later, when I thought, shoot! I could do it, make it sexy, and choke him on his own irony. :laughing: So I started it. And realized quickly, for the millionth time, that I can't draw worth beans. So I traced my own face and had =DarthFar walk me through painting it (with some awesome tips from *WraithTen ). Now, not only am I not annoyed with Tyler anymore, I actually had fun and learned something! :aww:

So to get some things clear: I hate squirrels. I DO NOT have a furry counterpart, and if I did it wouldn't be a squirrel. The only kind of anthro I like is in Disney movies and Lackadaisy comics. I was going to add that I don't paint...but I guess...now I do! :aww:

So Ty, HA! :laughing: And Far, Thank you. :aww: And Max, this was WAAAAAAAY out of my comfort zone. ;)

Inked and Painted entirely in the GIMP, with a mouse.

This piece is monumental. Not only is this a grand piece of art, this really shows the viewer how uncomfortable you are when you do something outside of your usual medium.

The bucktooth smile, the sparkling top, not to mention the ear protruding from above the left eyebrow...these are what makes this picture so great. A nice introduction to the world of painting!






And this picture still makes me laugh my ass off. :rofl: You need to do more paintings, Natalie. :giggle:

lol, by maid, Shakespeare meant "virgin". So he's saying, young girls want nothing but husbands, but when they get a husband, they nag him about giving them everything they want. ;) I thought it was funny, because it kinda described me. My poor hubby. :giggle:
