This creature is the only one of its kind. It is running around, bringing colours to the world. The flowers, the trees, the grass, everyting have colours becouse of this creature. I lost a lot of details becouse of that stupid scanner... Coloured pencil.

Completed April 2005 (Gosh, this is such an old picture :S. One of the first ones I ever uploaded. I think I'll remove it from my gallery soon, I find it quite embarrassing...)

Very original idea! I like the rainbow colourings on its tail and mane. The flowers are really nice too! ^^ Great piece!!

its...uh...interesting to watch. i thought i saw a strange looking lump of colour running around, but i wasn’t sure. now i am.

beautiful colours

:-) Michelle Tolo replies: "Thanks! Yeah, it’s... interesting... Hehe, I remember when I first drew it back in primary school - I was 12 years old and designed weird creatures 1 I wonder what my teachers thought..."

You drew in class? Snap!

ps: Kerri "Phoenix" Jurgens here

:-) Michelle Tolo replies: "I only designed it in class - I drew this picture at home some months later, if I remember it right. It’s so long ago since I drew it O.o"

cool - have you got a new scanner now? I hope so, i hate it when my pics used to get ruined by my old scanner - i love the shading work, and the way the pencil strokes show up like a shaggy coat- like a shetland pony!

:-) Michelle Tolo replies: "Yup, the scanner I have now is new. But I won’t reupload this picture - I was 13 when I drew it, which is more than 4 years ago, and I only keep it here so that people can see my progress 2. But I’m glad you like it!"

Oh, come on. This picture shows your creativity. I think it’s wonderful. To think that this creature brings all the color to the world... That’s gotta be tiring! 22 It deserves some credit:

Have you ever gazed at the bright blue sky
Or stared at the bright green grass?
All the colors in the world
Come from a creature that’s not easy to pass
With rainbow wings and emerald stripes
This creature is quite a sight
It has scarlet skin, with shiny hooves to match
And a snout as black as night
All the colors in the world, from onyx to teal
Come from this unusual thing
Now think of some other shades and tints
This creature is sure to bring
It travels around the big wide globe,
Spreading colors and doing its best
This creature brings all the color to the world
Now, how about giving it a rest?

Heh, I tried not to use the word "color" too often. I guess I failed...1





:-) Michelle Tolo replies: "Woooow, even my old Colourful Creature got a poem! And as usual, it’s a really good poem 3. Thank you so much! And you didn’t fail; you did far better than I ever could 12."

Heh, thanks! But I bet if you put your mind to it, you could maake some great poems, or at least make some improvements. 12

:-) Michelle Tolo replies: "Yeah, well, in the end, it’s all about practice, I guess. I may be able to get better at poetry, but I think I lack the passion of a poet to get really good at it 6"

Heh, maybe. 1

Don’t remove it!!! It’s totally cute!!!

:-) Michelle Tolo replies: "Whenever I clean up my Elfwood gallery, this little fellow is doomed to go. But it’s nice that you think it is cute! 11"
30 Jul 2012:-) Ella rose griffin
maby you could just re-do him rather than remove him as the concept is very intresting

:-) Michelle Tolo replies: "We’ll see, I might redo some of my old pieces some day 2"
