Is the same kid that wolfed down the 20,000 Leagues Lunch Special?


The eating of large squid, and fish-eye lens angled characters in big cities. Indeed, you know what I like.

Honestly, the PS touch ups are subtle enough that they don't stand out a bunch, but they soften (and darken) areas up enough that it makes a difference. Alot of nice atmosphere in this one.

Thank you everyone for your kind comment. ^___^

Batool,
THank you. That snake looking thing is actually a Chinese Dragon Boat. I try to explain to my friend what Chinese do for Dragon Boat Festival. LOL

All right, I feel like I'm playing spot the differences. I can't tell them apart. Love the perspective and point of view. That's a great turtle. Great!

They're all wonderful, but I love the middle done in watercolor, the best! Lovely.
