my veiled gollum, 12"x18" acrylic on canvas, hope you like.:)

update
i did a bit more of the painting last night, thought i'd share another pic, ill get some more done soon, starting on commissions today tho, they're my priority atm:), so i dunno when ill get it finished. pics are with and without flash.
i use a photograph to get the proportions, but my camera doesn't pick up his real colours, so i copy them from him, but this is just an underpainting so far, nothing like his real colours! done a bit more work to it a minute ago, ill do some more soon.:)
thanks for the nice comments syn, and the exclamation marks!!!!!!.lol
and pardalisgirl, i did some paintings back in college, just still life stuff,(that was nearly 3 years ago!) nothing like this tho, and this is my first painting on canvas ever, tis soo much nice to use the paper!

thanks alot, im appreciating all these good comments.:) its A4 size(8"x12") was started as a quick sketch to get me back into my art, didn't end like that tho, good times!
thanks for the nice comments, didn't expect such a quick(and good) reply! cheers.
and you are indeed right chris, it is from the 'good book' as i call it.lol hope you dont mind my somewhat blatant reproduction:o lol just gotta love those parsons, and what better place to look.:)
just did a coloured pencil drawing of a parsons, thought i'd share, i havent drawn for years, so i thought i'd start with something worth doing! :) any comments will be welcome.

just found a macro setting on my dads camera, im no photographer, but i had a bit of fun!
p.s i couldn't find the manual focus button, so it was all automatic, ...hope you enjoy
ehy guys, quick question...how much food should a male adult veiled be eating? my guy seems to always be hungry!
at the moment i give him 2 adult dubia roaches every 2 days as his staple, and treat him with superworms, waxworms, crickets, locusts, and the occasional mealworm, is this enough...
hey, ive been using a flexarium with no trouble...
the holes are quite tight together, ive never had any bugs escape, fruit flies might be able to get through tho.
if you keep the cage in a draft free area(in a warm room) you shouldnt have any trouble keeping the temps up...
yes your...
