The girl and soldier perfectly brought to us with your excellent skills. The cartoon has such fine details that add so much to the story timeline. Loving the period colours too. The video also was excellent quite sexy I thought in an enticingly clean way. I thought of may be your memories here.

yeah i have memories back during that era and im thankful for surviving thru time to current..we can easily say today we were young and stupid back then. I wasnt drafted I volunteered but i also remember guys in the unit that got in trouble in the civilian world were given a choice of prison or joining the armed services..a few didnt wash out or get into more trouble...im glad you have enjoyed this ad thanks for the awesome review...oh btw i just posted on titled "A Relaxing Swim" and i attached one of my old videos that has small some of my sharpie/Bic work..check it out..wink

Thats so interesting. I never knew about the choices. I guess we were all like that in our youth. I still like adventures and I think live a different style of life than a lot of my peers. Friends are sadly fast disappearing.

Mark, this is great. They are very realistic looking for a cartoon. Your proportions of their bodies is amazing. The girl's arm shows muscle tone and is appropriately sized to complement the rest of her body. Your technique at portraying shadowing is always great, it gives the characters depth. Well done.

So this year (which im 61 post away) im gonna hit my 1500 post so i said what the heck, this year im gonna be aggressive again and ill show these kids what these lil ole pens can do and i dont need a computer to create it...only record it..wink. thanks for the awesome review

Is this you and wife? Good song Mark. Super portrait of a couple . War is harsh on both!!! My mother waited , while dad was in the Argon Forest against Hitler. I was born in 1952 and dad never recovered. He never told me one story about his wars, but I read books on his wars. Thank you for this. Awesome that my father came home and gave me life. I am a mirror-image-twin. Me Joanie, her Janie.

No..these are folks I made up..my dad was a marine in the Pacific both Solomon Islands and iwo jima..earned bronze Star there..me I came in a lil over a year after nam..I was army ..I figured I was safe since the war was over..you don't realize how many times this country come close to war that doesn't get reported. When the camrouge storm the US embassy in Cambodia and while the Marines were holding them off, my unit and 24 others from different branches were headed there for back up. Well Marines got everyone out including the dead so Carter didn't push it and turned everyone around..another time we were head to Lybia before they turned us around and later Reagan put a middle at kadafi apartment and killed his brother in law..but so many times a year a strike like mine would get calls. I didn't sign up this unit..you can I got volunteered! Lol..glad you enjoyed my creation and thanks for the awesome review

Good paintings of human expressions capture the essence of modern design with an innovative artistic style. The interplay of light and shadow highlights the beauty of the colours and composition. Well done!

This is so sad and it has happened so many times and still happens today.
Very well created happy couple who feel that they have a wonderful future ahead after the service to the country .
Awesome detail, well shaped and structured man in uniform and his cute , blonde girlfriend . They are having a meal in what looks to be a casual diner.
As always colors are well chosen and applied!
Nice work Mark!

Comment from Alexandra Trovato 8
This is adorable! It is soon Americana. It is happy too abd the details in emotion and on the menu add a lot to the piece.
Now, that being said lol Can you possibly draw lots of boxes and bins with plants and strange trees inside and label each from different countries? No biggie?
Our next chapter is awesome and almost done. I just think the following chapter needs a transition like showing what they find in that storage place. Prince Tyren and his Emissary are storing trees and plants from around the world before they plan to just burn the whole earth down..this way, the plot will be stronger for readers. Then two weeks from now, I may write Jane sneaking Kiera off to secure her past self while this all goes down your running drawing then back to King Xaviers face as he faces Tick and Tock are his sons he never knew plus Ekaterina. They are triplets we find out in the chapter for this week. Im writing my head off but boxes with plants and trees labeled from countries will help bring the plot to life.
Someone approached me in fs to help with my book for money. I blocked her and reported. Tom wrote back they took care of it ha I think she got thrown out.
Just FYI but it shows our book is appealing. I copyrighted each chapter now it's free but if it sells we can copyright to U.S. then that will help us get maybe characters made or other merchandise. Im looking far ahead but I think we are doing well. 😊

ok..what i understand you want boxes and inside the boxes you want different trees for different countries for each box? lotta questions but ill start with why? thanks for the great review
-
Ok I thought we discussed sorry!!!
The whole reason Prince Tyren and the Emissary and other bad guys set earth on fire is because Dracada didn't have vegetation or nice landscapes. Prince Tyren is jealous in 2139 so by 2155 he blew it all up electric fire etc. Right?
So, I am writing that he's stealing all of the earth's trees plants vegetation etc then once he stores it there he electrocuted the earth but ....
-
Thats why they are going back in time to learn why this happened and how to prevent it without changing Jonathan and Alexa meeting and having there kids so it's tricky. But they are storing plants from around the whole world and only tick and tock can fit in the small gate wholes to see and hopefully for next week not this week yiu can show what they see. So I will have more to describe then go back to the castle stuff
Any way you want to express it I will write to make it work but this is generally why. I will make a real chart for you by Gmail soon because it's getting complicated but other than those and maybe King xaviers brother abd wife in hiding on Earth 2139 I have what I need. If you want to add for me ti write an idea more I will
-
This is the pivotal part because finally we see a bit of what they are doing back on 2139 before the fires.
I hope this helps for now. I can still write the info without a Pic for it but thought it would look sinister and cool.
You decide if you can either way is OK.
Thank you!!
Alex 😴
-
no its sounding pretty cool so far and while your writing im trying to knock a few more drawings i had in mind for other contests..
-
ok im now getting the jest why now..when do you need it?
-
how about this i can have staff member next to a couple of charts..one will be the map of a part of the world with lil stick pins in it on each country..the other chart will be a goal chart and maybe another with stats..like it is a business meeting with some executives ..what do you think?
-
Not today but next Sunday or so. Whenever you can do it I'll wait with the next chapter. Then after that one ill use the king Xavier image then Jane then Kiera running with Alexa then Gen Braxton etc
Next Sundays or so, starts off the winding down of the story but the action heats up first. I have to give you a written idea of what im thinking because we must agree on the direction of this and stuff.
The tress etc in boxes will be a great transition because there is already a lot going on in this week's chapter but next week tick and tock finding clues and kicking ass together with what they find in those boxes. As Jonathan brings his boys back.
The next aftee that chapter Jonathanplaces an envelope he finds in the ship on king xaviers throne its a note Jane placed in the spaceship for only King Xavier a mystery to Jonathan but he leaves it there when he gets the boys back.
The note will be one long poem a little bit I f a mystery but he understands that Alexa as Jane has made it safely to solemnis 2155 as kingbxavier sent her there with Gen Braxton help
Jane sneaks off with Kiera is way future chapters to have Kiera take Akexa from the castle and hide her in a frozen im time state while the genes l s army kick ass and arrest prince tyren , the blue Emissary and the queen! They must arrest them to stop the transfer of plants and nature from earth. So there will be no explosion but Jonathan and Alexa will still meet.
Thinking.. Thinking. Thinking lol
I hope this is making sense. This will be a popular book when we are done abd the second book writes itself basically the thugs try to escape jail on drzcda and kiera is queen on dracada I have lies ideas.
No one wants to take the crazy drugs th as t naturally exist ib my min.d lol im like doc brown in back to the future mind always racing. Like you.
LOL
😊 Alex
-
Yep. I get it! Cool! Good use of time because the writing takes a while. Next book we will be doing art as nd writing as we go more. I cant believe it has taken so long for thise images to inspire writing but im glad.;)
Im keeping an eye out for your other work too. You're really adding to yiur count here! Good for you!
Have a great day!!
Alex 😊
