Ship at Sea

This is the first picture I've drawn of a ship at sea. Maybe I should do more.

Boy Meets Girl

"Any last requests?"

Here's a challenge for my readers. Can you think of a better caption for this picture? Leave a suggestion in the comments.

House on a Hill

I wanted to post something from my "House on a hill" theme, but I have dozens of pictures, and I couldn't choose. This time next month I'll probably have more. Today I'll post three pictures. Let me know which is your favourite.

Cold Winter Day

Yesterday's picture looked cold. This is even colder. It's the sort of day when you should stay at home in bed.

Church on a Hill

Yet another church on a hill. Nobody has complained, so I'll keep posting them.

Girl in a Graveyard

After my frustration at dozens of failed attempts at drawing a giant snake in a small village, I thought I'd try something easy. "Girl in a graveyard". Simple. This picture turned out well at my first attempt.

Giant Snake

It's difficult to describe the problems with AI art to anyone who's never done it, or even to anyone who's done it casually. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it isn't. In this case it was tough. It was practically impossible to put a giant snake into a small village. I forget how many attempts I made. Thirty, forty? Something was always wrong, and even on the rare occasions when the snake was anatomically correct, the aesthetics of the picture displeased me. Just take my word for it. Or better still, try it yourself. If you can draw a picture of a giant snake in a small village on your first attempt, I'll buy you a beer!

Bad Girl

I couldn't think of a suitable name for this picture, so I'll stick with "Bad Girl". The question remains open as to how she makes boys cry. Is it by breaking their hearts or by kicking them in a sensitive place? I'll leave it up to your imagination.

Flying Lizard

This is much better than the Godzilla picture that I posted yesterday. Much classier. What do you think? As is typical for me, there's a church in the picture.

Godzilla

Three months ago I drew a few pictures of Godzilla in a small village. I liked them at the time, but when I looked at them today I found them kitschy. I might delete them. What do you think? Good, bad or ugly?

Falcon in Mountains

My inspiration for this picture was a chat with a Turkish friend. I was at a dry point, not having made any pictures for a week. Then he told me his name (Şahir) means falcon, and it clicked. I decided to draw a falcon flying over a castle in the Swiss alps.

I know I already posted a picture earlier today, but it was a repeat of yesterday's theme, so I thought my readers might want something different.

Russian Fighter (again)

Here's one more picture of the beautiful Valeriya. I know you all like her.

Russian Fighter

I've already posted pictures of a Japanese fighter and an African fighter. Here's a Russian fighter, just to show I'm not biased against Europeans. Which one of the three is the strongest? It doesn't matter. The only thing I want is for my red-headed beauty to beat Vladimir Putin to a pulp. I've drawn so many pictures of this woman that I ought to have a name for her.

I just paused to look at some name lists. Now I've picked a name for her: Valeriya. Maybe I'll post some more photos of Valeriya in the future. I have at least 30 photos of her. Sometimes she's clothed, mostly she isn't. She's the sort of woman I could have a crush on, though I doubt it would be mutual. Why would she like a wimp like me? On the other hand, they say that opposites attract.

Stupid Questions

How often have you heard someone say "I know it's a stupid question, but....."? I honestly believe the saying that I've quoted above. It's never stupid to admit you don't know something and ask for help. It's stupid to keep your mouth shut and pretend you know about something. But it's even more stupid to talk about something you know nothing about.

The House

This picture is unique for me. It's the only picture I've ever drawn for someone else. She asked me to draw a small cottage surrounded by a fence in the English countryside. It wasn't as easy as I expected, but I got there in the end. This isn't really my style, but my friend loves it and says she wants to move in. If only my software could build real houses instead of painting pictures of non-existent houses.
