I have a phobia about snails and slugs. well not a phobia, but I hate squising on snails... saddens me if I do it by accident and slugs, yuck.... this picture still makes me feel slightly sick at the sight of a slug..Dell's reply:Geesh!!, I guess you should not have clicked on this guy after reading the title.

I love your use of lines in the backround. The way you haven't done any blending there, or shading, and yet the lines make all the contrast needed to tell one object or plane from another. The snail and his rider are quite cute too. ^.^

OMG! How cute!! The title caught me eye because the chanops of #Lothlorien are called Snail Riders of the Apocalyspe. *g*

Very cute. I guess this guy's not in a hurry if he's using a snail as transportation! 2

Charcoal! Holy crap, i can't even look at charcoal without somehow making a smudgy mess. I really like the leaves.

This one looks great! Great peek into someone elses world. And all the neat and precise drwing of the lines leads to more attention being brought to the atmosphere(without using color too.) great job!

It's sort of bizarre seeing this picture. Sort of like deja vu. I had a dream about little people riding on snails once, maybe a few years ago. They were meeting to discuss the redevelopment of a city or something. Maybe the merging of two cities. I've always wanted to put the dream to paper. But it looks like you beat me to it. Except i think the snail riders in my dream dressed a little more diplomatically.

:-) Lyndell Stout replies: "Dell reply: Believe it or not, your comment is not that far fetched. A few years back when I initially drew this image, a viewer expressed a similar scenario as well. In fact, that helped with the concept for the second Snail Rider."
