Heh, nice one. A lively piece. Now if the kitchens of fast food was this gleeful. :-P

Thankfully I've never worked in a fast food kitchen. My own kitchen is quite happy... although occasionally very messy as well. ^_^

what do the sticky notes say?

Basically it was just a mishmash of letters made to look like words... I have no idea what people usually write on those things. =P

you should have done SUBLIMINAL MESSAgivenatemoneyGES

Oh damn, you're right! That would've been quite insidious. xD

Not bad. I had interior design in collage. And the only thing I see that might be a little off is the stove. I would have put it in the center of the counter. But very good anyway. ;)

I must say I know next to nothing about interior design... My mom has a stove like that, positioned in the corner of a small kitchen. But it was a bit different kind of stove, I think. =)

Instant fav for such an accurated pic!
The background is a bit flat (no offense in that critic) but the first plan is awesome :3
Congrats, you deserve more favs for your art!

Aw, thank you! I know the amount of details here is just a pale shadow of those I've seen in your submissions.

It took quite a while for me to draw all this stuff (and colour it, too). I can't but wonder how you find the time and patience to make your art so accurate and detailed. =)

Being a no-life helps a lot to make art detailed ^^'
Damn', I need a real life instead of drawing at every moment -_-'

The kitchen and all they look are preaty well goes togather to one complate sceen. Awesom work as usual. And what do you get for this. +fav :D

Many thanks, dear! And thanks for the fave as well! ^_^

meow!!! how can you say that you aren't good at making interiors XD! way to modest I have to say, Lady :3

For some reason Finnish people tend to be pretty modest... We consider it to be embarassing and bad mojo in general if people think too much of themselves. *bashful* ^^;;

still accept the compliments, sweet Lady :3

Of course, with a cuddle and a hug. *^_^*

instant fav

Thanks! =D

I like da girls.

I like the kitty lady. =^_^=

your perspective could use some work, but it still looks really nice =)

Thanks. ^_^

I hope that book I bought will teach me something. It seemed awfully complicated. -_-

hey, if you could get on icq more, we could chat sometime, maybe OC, and I could teach ya how to do perspective easily ;)

That would be very kind of you! ^_^

I'll try to be online more, usually when I'm on there's no one else around... I don't know when I'll next be able to log in, though. I have a friend visiting from up north and I'll be keeping him company for some days.

Alive picture:)

Hey thanks! ^^

That's so great how you make normal sceneries so lovable!

I like drawing happy characters. It's nice to draw Radio Ardilla's characters because they seem to be the kind who care about each other. =)

Nice picture.

Thanks! =)

What're you talking about you're not good with interiors?! OMG, all those textures and light sources and there are some bits in there that are so darn realistic I'd swear it was a photograph! Like the post it notes on the fridge, the clock on the wall..and that tile floor is bloody AMAZING! Most of all, it has that shine to it that I mentally equate with a finished piece, no blurry airbrush to cover up mistakes, because well, there are no mistakes in this! It's all crisp and clean and FLAWLESS

And I love your attention to detail with things like the swish line of his gesticulation, aeeiiaa I can't believe I talk to someone as incredible as you!

*chuckle* The only thing that's incredible about me is my appetite. That's why I like scenes where people make food. x)

*sigh* If only I could afford to buy some pasta. Student life is so poor.

Oh, but anyway... Thank you so much for the wonderful compliment, Sharra! The swish line was Radio Ardilla's idea, as was the most of the setting. =)

;______; no fair--you're good at backgrounds no matter what xD Bad at interior my ass =p this is lovely xD <3

Awh, thanks. I feel like I need constant practise when it comes to drawing backgrounds. I try my best, but I'm seldom 100% happy how they come out. <_<;;

xD same here. Though I've only really done three in a while xD lol oh well. <3

Wow, great job :)

Thanks, hon! =D

Aw, I love this, it's so happy and real-life-y. :B

Thanks, Vera. ^_^

Radioardilla has such nice ideas for pictures. It's a pleasure to try and illustrate them.

It's cute. I cook

I know how to bake a banana cake, but that's pretty much it. =9

Cute squirell.

Whoa!!! this got me speechless but wow you did a very good job on this one :) *hugs you*

Thanks, Garr! It was quite a lot of work, but I'm glad it came out okay... Even if it has some wonky bits. *huggies* ^_^

the only thing i can think of that is bothering me at all is that i can't see the ceiling and that would be a really long pole for the light fixture to be on. but i can't really talk as my house has extremely high ceilings, they're just at an angle. even if their was just a ceiling line in the BG. but it's all handled so well, and it's actually more work to not include the ceiling. do finlanders/finners/the fins...finnish homes have high ceilings? that's more of just a curiosity question...

Hmm, yeh, I guess the ceiling is a bit too high. The whole background issue made me pretty nervous so I tried to come up with these, uh, creative ways to patch up my lack of architecht... architechtudinal? skills. x)

But it might also be that high ceilings are embedded in my subconcious memory... The house where I lived my childhood was built in the 1920s and the ceiling was way over three metres high. And I think that overall we do have pretty high ceilings. =)

Gosh, but not that high. I only now realized that perspect-wise the ceiling really is hiiiiiiigh. This is slightly embarassing. o_O;;

trust me, it's still a lovely piece. i only noticed it because i was working on a comic today and i had forgotten about my ceilings and had to pencil them in. geez 1920's. i'd kill for an old house, being in this college town with most everything being relatively new and built fast to accommodate the new population it's all 2000's new crap. architecture means nothing anymore here so it seems, everyone's more worried about "prime real estate" rather than caring about the building itself. sorry to go so off-topic :3

Living in an old house had its pros and cons. I thought it was fun that there were old newspapers wrapped around the pipework in the basement. They were really well-preserved and some of them were from the 30s and early 40s.

And there were some secret compartments and a mysterious hidden door in our apartment. We also found really old and funny-looking spectacles from this one dusty closet. =)

I love peaceful settings like this, I hardly seem them much lately

There can never be enough happy pictures. I like drawing them but seldom have the chance to do so. =)

Me too :)

Aha- about time you put it up. You do such great work. Let me know when your free to do another comission!

Yeah, about time... I've been drawing so much lately I was bound to forget something.

But hey, I'm free to do another commission whenever you want. It would be a great pleasure! ^_^

I love how this turned out, the background is awesome..and I can feel there is great, friendly communication between these people..and the expressions = awesome.

Nice work :3

Thanks! I always like it when I get the chance to draw happy faces. ^_^

I like seeing furs doing "real life" things... so much of what you see is fantasy. I like the mundane stuff - it's almost more fun. ^_^

I can go overboard when I do backgrounds with lots of little details... it's so much fun that it should be criminal. What's he cooking?? It looks like soup to me... *sniff sniff* mmm... I love soup.

I kinda like the mundane stuff as well. Fantasy becomes more realistic when you add little details to it. Even when I dabble with all that "lol hc rp high fantasy" stuff I like to concentrate on realistic elements... Like the question whether the hillside dwarves harvest broad beans or turnips and what kind of plague are they suddenly struck with. ^^;;

As for the food, I think they're going to eat something that has rice in it.

I think you did a really good job, nice slice of life there ^_^

Talent! You have it! :3

Being complimented by an artist of your caliber is very uplifting to say the least! Thank you very much for the encouragement! =D

I have a caliber? D: XD Daw thanks hun, but I just like to draw.
You did an amazing job and thusly deserve all praise you get ^^

At first I thought about writing something silly on them, 'cause I knew it wouldn't show after I resize the picture... But in the end I just put together some scrambled letters. x)

"...ja kuvitelkaapa mitä se heebo siellä vielä sanoi minulle kun olin ruoka-ostoksilla. Hän sanoi että "ookkonää jokin homo, vai?". No, sanoin vain hänelle että "minulla on kaksi hyvää nais-ystävää, jotka RAKASTAVAT kokkailevia miehiä!" Olisittepa nähneet hänen ilmeensä kun hän oli niin kateellisen näköinen"

"*nauramista*"

Juuri NUO sanat tuli mieleen tästä kuvasta. Mieshän kertoo mitä hän on kokenut ja muut nauravat sille. Elikkä jokin huvittava kohtaus, vaikka onkin osaa tätä meidän jokapäiväistä elämäämme.

En tiedä ihan tarkkaan, että minkälainen stoori Radio Ardillalla oli mielessä, mutta hän pyysi meikäläistä piirtämään juurikin sellaisen kuvan jossa kerrotaan hauskaa juttua.

Eli tosi mukavaa, että sulle tuli tuollainen skenaario mieleen - se kun oli homman ydin! ^_^

Onnistuit sitten todella hyvin tässä, onneksi olkoon ^.=.^

Yaaay for mundanity depiction.

True that the perspective could use some more adjustment. My suggestion is to use pen tool for "temporary" guide line.

But so far so good.

Thanks. I hope I'll get better at this perspective stuff at some point. ^_^

I'm not sure if the pen tool is much use for me, since I always draw my lineart with pencil and then just colour the scetch with Photoshop. u_u;;

I think it's a great BG, love all the details and the textures and I LOVE that fridge! ^^

Just a little thing... you left un-lined the cupboards... There's a reason?

I like the fridge the most too. Maybe it's because I'm a starving student and I love to think about food. xD

I left the cupboards unlined because when I drew them I didn't know what kind of texture to use. And when I got around to colouring the wooden panels I thought that the cupboards didn't need a lineart of their own. The sink doesn't have a visible lineart either nor does the lamp. =)

Oooh Yeah ^^ THankies for the explain ^^

Waaa its a very nice scene ^_^ itys full of happiness and nice moments, yuo ahve make that pic whit a lot of happibness ^_^ i like it!!!

Thanks, Sindo. I like happy things... Drawing happy people is always nice. ^_^

Thanks, AJ!

I like the fridge myself... I recall being hungry (as usual) when I coloured it. xP

woah! that's awesome XD pretty funny

Many thanks, dear! ^^

I know that someone else has mentioned the ceiling so I don't need to rehash it anymore than that. Its something thats not easily remembered unless you have had technical art and drafting studies.

The rest of the picture is warm and nicely detailed, pretty good results considering its computer art. The floor tiling is a neat old time touch

Thank you, Lope!

Getting the perspective of the floor tiling right was very hard... And I still can't say if it looks as it should.

It seems the more I learn the harder things get. A couple of years ago I didn't know anything about perspective and now it's suddenly everywhere... And most of the time it's giving me a lot of trouble. =P

Hey, Charha...do you mind if I ask you a favor in a note? it's been bothering me all day..

Go ahead. =)

Oh..it's nothing, I got it handled..but there is one thing I do want to say, is that I feel I can trust you.

Thanks, mate. That means a lot to me. =)

I like how all of the detail was included and came out so well! Excellent pic!

Thanks! Glad you like! ^_^

Quite awesome pic my friend!! . Common life scenes are amomg my fav thems for pics, and you definitely excel at it. The kitchen is very good drwan and it's full of little details, I certainly love this pic (instant fav dear)

Thanks! It's nice to illustrate Radio Ardilla's ideas. And it's nice that his characters like each other so much... Gives me a good reason to draw happy faces. ^^

*snicker* I think it looks great, I love how happy everyone is. WhenI was in foods, all my friends were my team mates(four to a group) so we always were liek WOO

Drawing happy things puts me on a good mood... But I suck at cooking, seriously. I only know how to bake a banana cake and that's it. xD

Lol oh don't worry, I can't do that <<

Hmm, maybe the 'smoke' (I'm sure it's nice smelling stuff) should have no outline?

I love how they all seem to be having fun. Wonder what the joke was?

And the shiny-s on the table really make it seem to shine like laminate.

The perspective seems just fine to me. Drawing in all the perspective lines works for me.

I also find some details fun to draw. I get caught up in it and when I'm done I wonder where it all came from. But I don't like to colour it all. That gets tedious.

I think details are nice to draw, but hard to colour. ^^;;

I didn't really pay much attention to the smoke, but yeah... It might've looked better without the outline. =)
