Day 26 - Bastet statue

I went outside for inspiration on this beautiful winter's day and decided on my Bastet / Bast statue. She sits near my sundial and my Roman statue on the deck, an elegant little thing. (And now she's reminded me of two other cats in the garden I could draw.) Done in GIMP.

That's lovely. I particularly like the depth created through your rendered background.

Lovely! I like the colour of the terracotta pot.

How pretty. She is a perfect object for drawing, and you did a wonderful job.

Thank you! I found her by accident at an outside statue place and had to have her.

Hail, oh goddess!!!
What a wonderful drawing! This sleek statue is perfectly done. And I like the contrast against the colourful pot with the plant, and that wooden table with the pattern and greenish little gaps between the boards, it is amazing.

I needed some colour to contrast with her. It's one of our decks, not a table though, see here (http://pics.livejournal.com/vilakins/pic/002q3ytp/g98) (with added Ashley).

This is probably my favorite one yet. You did a GREAT job with it. Way to go, you.
Oh, and thank you for the sunflower. It really means a log.

Haha, really? I wasn't actually that happy with it and ran a GIMP filter over it to soften it. But the original's very beautiful in the garden.

Oh, she is elegant, and you've set her off nicely! I like the pale gray shadings. How tall is the original?

Not very. Smaller than a small cat (Ashley); you can see in this photo (http://pics.livejournal.com/vilakins/pic/002q3ytp/g98). :-)

Very lovely - especially the shading!

Thanks. :-) I got a really cute photo of Sebastian beside her today.
