An artistic meme, sort of

[altivo]

Borrowed from hellmutt

• Comment and I'll pick one or two of your lj interests and draw you a picture using paint. [my disclaimer: may decide to use Photoshop or GIMP and tablet instead, at my discretion.]
• You have no say as to what I draw for you or as to how much it will suck.
• Copy this and the pic that is drawn for you into your journal.

Apples and weaving, hellmutt's drawing for me. :)

Intruiguing: fire away. ^)^

Here goes!

While I'm envisioning cartoonlike replies for most respondents, I didn't feel comfortable making jokes about you. Everything I know about you is too serious. So...

Here are someCherry Blossoms for Bariki.

Horses and Japan. For those not familiar with sumi-e style, I've included a kanji character for 'horse' at the lower right. The black lines of the horse figure are a stylized version of the character. The pink cherry blossoms in three clusters along the branch represent the three main islands of the Japanese archipelago.

Wow, thank you. I like it.

Domo arigatou gozaimasu. ^)^

Re: Here goes!

[altivo.livejournal.com]

I'm glad. Hope to get to know you better in the future. :)

Now that your on my friends list, you'll get a first-hand peek into what's going on in my life, should you be interested in such things. Of course, this assumes that you can cope with the odd extra-species fumblings in dark stables. ^)^

Re: Here goes!

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Won't be the first to expose me to that, nor probably the last. No problem.

Re: Here goes!

[bariki.livejournal.com]

That's good. Not to imply that you should expect such activities to feature frequently in my LJ - ha, I wish - but some people have blown fuses in the past when they appeared in browsers at, say, work - although normally they I'd use the venerable lj-cut. ^)^

[kyhwana.livejournal.com]

Use Artrage instead ;)

[altivo.livejournal.com]

That needs Windoze. You'll have to settle for GIMP instead. :)

Your turn!

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Too easy. :)

Here is Kyh pestering Quaxo.

Marmite and Pestering Quaxo.

[drelonek.livejournal.com]

Shoot. :P

Mopey!

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I just couldn't resist this. Dolphins, blue, dragons.

Drel and the Dolphin of Life.

See, I made you smile. I did!

Re: Mopey!

[drelonek.livejournal.com]

That's cute and odd. :P

[doco.livejournal.com]

I'm going to regret this. :)

No regrets...

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Unless you mean because now you'll have to post an offer to do the same. :)

Cooking, with a rotary phone sort of slipped in.

Doco the Chef.

[hellmutt.livejournal.com]

Do your worst! :D

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Heh. You should do that other meme where people ask you to explain your interests. I resisted the temptation to make up meanings for some of them. Anyway, here is

Hellmutt meets Padfoot.

Sufficiently "worst"? ;p

[murakozi.livejournal.com]

Dang. Having no artistic talent whatsoever, I doubt I could pay such a thing forward.

[calydor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's my problem too. Ah well.

On a different note, has anyone ever considered altering their interests to only have two items in it before responding to this? ;)

[altivo.livejournal.com]

That would definitely be cheating. And your interest list is too short to begin with.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

And who says I have talent?

If you absolutely can't even cut and paste or draw stick figures (remember, it doesn't promise a quality drawing) then consider mutating the meme.

I already did a different version of it here.

Or you could offer to write a limerick or something. I'm counting you as a commenter. You'll get a picture when I get down this far.

Da dum de dumdum daaa....

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Once this idea entered my head, there was no way to get rid of it other than to draw it, so here you are:

Pistols at 10, or, Moose meets Murakozi

Moose, guns, shooting. ;p

[smaf.livejournal.com]

I dare you.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Dare accepted. Nothing is sacred. You really oughta make a longer list of interests, but this worked.

Smaf and the Daemons

Wolves, linux, metal. Can you identify the three guys in your backup group?
