Wow! I thought this was real :O

VERY well done!

And yes, still lifes can be a bit annoying lolz xD

Thanks for the howl of approval :D I definitely underestimated what I was getting myself into upon starting.

Never give up is what my art teacher always said to us students xD Even though giving up was more entertaining because he'd get all flustered xD

Phenomenal work, man! There's a lot to love about this piece - the handling of ice water, the light refractions in the glass and water, the lantern colors, the shakers, the condensation on the glass!!
Keep it up!!! You're knocking it out of the park!

And thanks for the faithful viewing of Swish TV on Picarto :>

You are great and should feel good about it c:

Thanks man! It's definitely a good satisfaction. James Gurney ended up retweeting it yesterday, blew my mind.

Important question: was it as good as the Italian restaurant we went to at TFF?

It is nowhere near as good as the Italian we had at TFF. Seriously, people, if you're reading this: Kenny's Italian Kitchen, if you're going to TFF. You will not regret it.

Thanks so much, and that means a lot coming from you, especially seeing the stuff you do on a regular basis! It's a constant angry battle with self confidence and persistence, with an intense satisfaction at the end. ^,^

Im going to be a little bit of a stranger here and just say in someone else's conversation:
Dont worry about your insecurity at drawing becouse whenever any of you two draw even if you think it isnt a good art piece i will always see your pieces as masterpieces, and i really hope you remember this becouse you are incredible artists n.n
Having this said i will go to my bed and i hope you all sleep wonderfully.

I know what you mean but you gotta look at it this way-even if you feel what you've done is crap each piece takes you just a little bit farther down the path. You've come SO far in such a short time. You have a real feel for this especially for light and perspective. That's such a great thing. Thank you so much for the inspiration. You've helped me realize that I'm not that bad-I'm pretty close to being able to do stuff like this myself.

This is so awesome.

And thank you for the inspiring comment! I'd love to see what you do as you explore light behavior. I'm addicted to the stuff.

Oh hell this is amazing.

This is soooooooo satisfying.
