RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 57: Draw you or someone else [60 hive in prizes]

Well, here we go. I try not to take unfair advantage of all the phesants here that aren't so classically trained in art as am I. But sometimes @galenkp just forces my hand. Without further ado, behold:

Note please, how much better my thick dark hair looks than some of the recent photos that seem to show balding and grey. That is simply a trick of the camera lens.

I'm wearing my pink linen jacket (it's actually not short sleeved but with the artists liberty I can show my bulging manly arms). Real men DO wear pink. The shirt and pants are matching blue silk and the ascot is of the finest silk known to man.

The boots are Grenson Fred, the tan wingtip model. Modestly priced and sooo handsome.

Pay no attention to what looks like a former horizon line on this canvas. I started to allow Sam, the smartest dog in Arizona, to draw himself in the picture. In quite short order I could see that it was going to go badly because he doesn't have any thumbs to control the artists tools.

Speaking of Sam: You can clearly see how handsome he is and can't see his tail because he is per normal wagging it ferociously.

I am truly sorry for having set the bar so high. It is the true reason I gave you all a day to put forth your efforts. I fear that some will not participate after seeing my entry.

Sort:  

Tom my friend, you should really leave a little room for the mere mortals you know...Work like this is so far above the reach of others...Although I think also it's good that the bar has been set so far up there as it provides a high-mark for the rest of us to reach for. Thank you for showing us all how lacking we are and providing the motivation to seek more from ourselves.

Now...

Boots: Legit.
Pink jacket, green short and blue tie: The only way to go.
Fingers: No words needed here.

Look, it'll be easier to simply say it's all pretty legit.

Oh, and Sam? It takes a dog comfortable with his dogliness to look that much like a sheep.

Overall...Nailed it.

Sam is fluffy like a sheep. He is gaining weight because it's too hot for us to go to the desert. How hot you ask? It was 54C yesterday in appropriately named Death Valley (about 150 miles away). It's 35C at 0730 and predicted to be 46 here later today. We had a bit of rain overnight (the edge of a thunderstorm) but all signs of it are gone by now.

I did want to participate but waited a whole day to let the mortals air their efforts. Some of them are new since our last drawing effort and might not know my expertise.

54? Hmm, warmish. Lol.

Me no likey the hot weather.

I just saw yesterday's stats for Furnace Creek, Death Valley: Minimum 40C Maximum 54. Damn. I don't even have a smart ass comment.

Ridiculous temperature.

LMAO...

A Fucking Sheep. Priceless, I posted my comment before reading yours.

Our eye glasses are clearly up to date with our oncoming loss of eyesight.

If @bigtom13 wants to set the bar, he needs to get with @papilloncharity go over the rules, and draw some dark art, in the dark, with square donut box heads...

I laughed my fucking arse off, litterally had @pooky-jax pause the show we were watching to join in on these shenanigans...

Great post Tom. Great Selfie drawing. The belly laugh was much appreciated. I just hope Sam is not in need of therapy after all this..?

Young Tom did good right?

Not sure if it is the bar He set high, or if he is high from sipping that nasty Mexican Cartel Imported Tequilla again...

That shit puts hair on the chest... Women that drink it will also have hairy boobs...

Young Krazzy said that to Young G-Dog...

I have never tasted tequila. Probably sounds weird I guess, but it's just one of those things. For a light drinker like it's probably not unsurprising.

I am very glad that I posted my pic before you posted yours, because I am not sure I would have mustered up the courage otherwise.

So I'll refrain from commenting on the exquisite color choices and shapes, because I just wouldn't be able to find the right words for such marvelousness. No words can do it justice, so I'll send you this gif of appreciation 😏

One thing that I just have to ask you: Are you absolutely certain that Sam is a dog and not a sheep? 😁

Love the shirt. I've heard about these animalistic mosaics only the creator can clarify. Very creative. First glance it was a sheep and then I realized it has horns so maybe a goat the legs resemble a saw horse. Sam is a Dog. Shoulda known tha'aa'aaa'at.

I love the goat hahaha!
