Sorry I missed this cutie

What a lovely cheetah kitten   Very impressive how you cought the spirit of her with a few, steady lines and dots  
(Sorry, I can't express in English, I hope you know what I mean ?)

I missed so much! Really great work lately, you keep getting better and better!

Your son did a great job, love them

Well,my son has these very cheap dinos and I asked if I could repaint one for practice.   And he was in an "I like poison dart frogs" stage. So here you are: how the ankylosaurus may have looked if it lost a bet. :). (The pink is a before example)

Great repaints and art pieces. Your son's repaints are especially great, imaginative and exciting.

My daughter,  2 1/2, painted this one at the same time as the one her brother painted.

Thanks. It is interesting to see them change and their interests and talents grow.

Yes, a pleasure when I don't have to confiscate pens, pencils, crayons and paint because someone decides to ignore the "we only draw/paint on paper unless specifically told otherwise" rule. we rent. Overall they're pretty good unless they get hyper or bored.  Excuse me as I go figure out how to clean up purple marker from my son's face....

Son wanted to share:

Chikoletta & Quackers. Repaints from the Battat farm animals.

Well, it started out as a 1994  FunRise Briton? Stallion.

And it ended up as "a half horse, half zebra, half dinosaur" I'm not sure which dino.

Well since the surprise is over ...
The repaints for the swap + the one we kept. The collie was part of the battat farm animals buckey set. The dinos were part of generic china multipack.  The puma kitten was the bullyland snow leopard cub...

I had missed this topic before. It appears Cheetah has a pen pal. It's nice to see the before and after, and all the other artworks, too.

Well, the kids are a bit under the weather and it's a dreary day, so I decided to do a quick (and low quality) repaint.  My son decided that we could repaint the penguin. As flash.  A few negotiations later, here's the before and after:

Before:

AFTER (please welcome Flash the Penguin.)

I lose patience too soon. And... Apparently I should have checked them out a little better before choosing the slightly older vintage, but hey, these things happen.

Aww, thank you, Susanne. This forum is so wonderfully supportive. :)

So, after an animated discussion I had with a few people revolving around the Finding Dory movie and how there's always an increase in certain exotic creatures, such as fish, after a movie's release... and how Tangs aren't the easiest fish to keep... and someone lost their Tang.

Back when I was in highschool, I thought " wouldn't it be cool to carve my own chess set?" Apparently I should have done a bit more research into it. I thought "balsa wood is soft wood, it should be easy to carve!"yeah, no... It kinda is brittle.

But I forged thru, and today when going through stuff in story I found the pieces. Half glued together from when i was carving them. I thought you might get a laugh out of them.

Those chess pièces are not bad at all! Especially when you realize how hard it is to sculpt détails in a matter as rough as balsa wood. Actually, those little sculptures remind me of ruins of early Middle Age castles in miniature. What if you created your own chess board from a simple wooden board you paint yourself? The squares might be in two shades of green, recreating european fields where the pices will be moved, what do you think? Just an idea, actually.

Thanks.

Well, if I ever get bored enough to dig them out, I might try your idea. :) It's got to look better than the board of natural wood vs. black permanent marker, right?

Right. Another idea: green squares and "grey brick wall" squares. You paint squares in green and the other ones, you paint them to make them look like walls of grey bricks, like ruins.
