SF&F Picture 92 out of 100 by Jeffrey D. Block.

Okay, definitely something different...it's a guy riding a shark! What sparked this? Well I needed to create a picture featuring a male figure for a contest at The Garden. I was struggling with my initial idea (far different from this one), when suddenly this image popped into my head and I couldn't resist following it. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with this, especially how the shark turned out. My anatomy isn't perfect, but getting better. Definitely a change in pace from my felines, but I think he fits in well here - don't you? :)

19 Mar 2003	Martin "Lt.Havoc" Krüger	Loading... Hmmm, yes very different from Your general artwork, but not bad at all. It shows very good that You can draw anything You like. Looking it from the artistic base, it have a clearly message: Freedom. Uh, what i´m talking about? I mean: it´s very cool! It´s neat. However, "Ride-on"! Thanks much Martin - glad you like this one! I like your description of this...I really wanted to capture a sense of action/motion on the ocean, but I like the theme of "freedom" you've suggested! Yeah, ride on!
18 Jun 2003	Jessica Herman	Loading... (squeals) The shark is kewlies. n.n His face is a little wierd, and his arms seem stiff, but otherwise, I think it's cute! (tries to imagine a variety of half-nekkid bishounens riding sharks) Mm...
