IF_Beneath


 Illustration Fridays prompt this week is Beneath. I started this one for last weeks prompt, but I didn't get it finished in time. I decided to add some things and now it is Beneath the Circus Tent. It's still a work in progress, but I may not get much more done before the end of the week, so I decided to go ahead and link it. I just haven't had time to participate lately and I'm trying to get back to it. Thanks for stopping by and for taking the time to comment!

  1. Ooooo! I'm number one!! Woo Hoo! I better hurry and type this. I don't want Juan sneaking in on me like he did to you over at Andrew's place. That was funny! Great way to segway last weeks unfinished work into this weeks finished work... you are a genius karen! This is great! The colors and lighting really set the tone for the Amazing tutu'd feline hoop jumper! Great characters and costuming! Not sure what else you have to do to it... looks perfect to me! But then again we all know that you are a perfectionist.... Isn't that what Amalia said your name meant? ... Oh no, it was pure... that's right. Your work is "PURE" joy!

  3. Aah, it's nice to see that pink tutu on a cat for a change! As you know, the last guy who wore that did NOT look so cute in it...and I lost my appetite for dinner because of it. Hah!! (Sorry, Andrew, couldn't help it!)

    Anywhooo.... LOVE that ring master, K.H.! Can't wait to see the finished work... (^_^)

  4. wow Jack, you are way too generous! Thanks so much for blowing up my confidence balloon this morning :)
    Thanks Ann and Roberta! Amalia, I'm glad you like the tutu on the cat, although Andrew's version did have its appeal what with the tattoo and all. ;)

  6. Thanks Marion, it also helps me to finish it when I have so much other stuff going on. It gives me a little self imposed accountability.
