Jessica Megan replies: "nope, i'm gonna totally redo the picture. he is going to be a she and she's going to have a baby with her. then i'll add background."
10 Jun 2005	Mistress of the Sea	Loading... hippowhat?! any how quite creative and original! I HAVE to give a hardtime sometimes!!! wotwot Jessica Megan replies: "it's actually not that original :\ it's a "real" fantasy creature, i didn't make it up. not that fantasy creatures are any more "real" if they're "official" ^_^ thanks for the comment tho "
21 Aug 2005	Nicodemus	Loading... That's the best hippocampus I've ever seen. It's a very good interpretation of how they should look. Being a guy, I always envisioned them as much scarier, but this is perfect. Jessica Megan replies: " thanks. i like it too, but not THAT much ^_^ hmmm...i wonder what a scarier hippocampus would look like...ponders"
27 Oct 2005	Anonymous	Loading... ok, first i can see you have fast growing talent and you WILL be ready for the working world trust me, thats if you even want to do drawing as a career by then. second! you critisizm or however the heck you spell it, i have one small thing to say, try to do the head and front feet as realistic as possible, like get a picture or somethin Jessica Megan replies: "thanks! actually, it might become more than just a hobby now that i have rewritten my future again ^_^ yea, i should probably study horse anatomy before i do another one. thanks for the tip! "
31 Aug 2006	Anonymoose	Loading... I seem to be in the same situation as you- I have a new set of watercolour pencils and they're taking some getting used to! I also like drawing hippocampus (hippocampi? ). I like this painting, especially the eyes, but I think it would look better with a fin on its back, as its back looks a little bare. Also, for watercolours, try dropping salt on watercolour to make bubbles or just an interesting background. Wax crayons are also good- experiment with painting over white crayon for textured seaweed. Hope I helped, keep drawing (and painting)! Jessica Megan replies: "hey, thanks for the tips! i'll have to try them out on my next watercolor adventure!! ^_^ i think i've heard the salt thing before, but the white crayon is GENIUS!! thanks again!!
