I wanted to thank you all for making me feel really good about this piece! I entered it into the James and the Giant Peach Contest over at dA. Even if it is never even considered, it was great fun. However, the second piece just didn't work. Ah, well, back to the proverbial drawing board.

Rod, I am going to have to try the marbling in another piece, and soon! Isn't it wonderful when art makes you just feel something? It's wonderful.
