Thanks very much for all the kind words. :) Pi...Ho! Thanks very much for all the kind words. :) Pity there are no smilie faces here or I would wear them out.<br /><br />About the figure hmmm. I guess it could be me about a hundred years ago..... Originally I had him sitting on a fish in a jar of muddy water, the whole lot suspended above the clean blue ocean. There's was lots of refration and weird reflections and it was fun but ambiguous, and the contrast between 'clean' and muddy' wasn't working viusally at all.<br /><br />So I broke the jar of muddy water and dropped him into the ocean, added some birds and dirt and luckily it looked much better (I hope) <br /><br />Thanks again! <br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />andrewAndrew Finniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877768852340470022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618045567487829932.post-60751442539332160492010-02-10T15:32:01.862-08:002010-02-10T15:32:01.862-08:00Hey Andrew I was going to do Muddy Waters too! The...Hey Andrew I was going to do Muddy Waters too! Then I came to the exact conclusion that you did - I was really hesitant to do Cosmo as I knew there were going to be so many dogs, kids, & muddy pigs, but I always need new illos of him anyway! Bravo to you for coming up with something so unique. I love this underwater fantasy - sort of reminds me of a much more sophisticated version of those old underwater Hollywood musicals! Love the colors and the bubbles, what a show!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06279040381509033619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618045567487829932.post-17815164728120472222010-02-10T04:46:13.498-08:002010-02-10T04:46:13.498-08:00I like this image.

Or are they the male equivalent of mermaids (not sure what the term is)?
