Title: Multilingual's plight

The idea came from around the time when I studied German for the second time. Its heavy use of upper throat left me with strong impression. As always, I am open to comments by native speaker especially with regard to the third panel. My German suck.

This is a watercolor of Neuschwanstein Castle. It is about 16x16 in and took about 80 hrs to complete. You might not be able to see it with a cell phone photo, but I drew in the individual bricks.

Quite good! I do art myself but watercolors defeat me. Its like working backwards with light or something. Was there as well. Thought it would be hokey, but it is somehow sublimely hokey and tinged with the madness of the King who had it built. He drowned under suspicious circumstances in a lake around there somewhere, and so it is only partially finished inside.

At first I thought it was a exotic dancer, but now understand with the coverings. I agree it does capture a lifelike feel, or maybe better said 'reality'. The pose and expression is a bit ambigious to me. Is it resigned sadness or an emptiness? Or is conflicting with the body expressing one thing (a odd twist) and the face another. Is the eye scarred or is it a embellishment ?

I mostly sculpt now, but always warriors or soldiers, and when I drew or painted that was often the subject as well. I have done a few scenic pieces, but always of places I have been. I always knew I was pretty fixated in subjects, but never made a possible ASD connection till now.

That is very impressive

That's really beautiful, Natkaa!

Wow McCaleba!!

You are getting quite good. The middle one looks pro. Love the backrounds and colors.

Thank you so much.
PS, I am so, so glad that there are other people who notice these details that you have.

Wow Natkaa, your art is excellent and is very vibrant. I am definitely impressed. We got some talent on wrongplanet. The most I can do is draw stick figures.

Some of my drawings. Btw just nice work here, I'm just jealousy about who can make digital draw o:

^ Digital art is actually pretty easy, just super expensive.

I kind of want to post some of my main artwork here, but it's a little messed up. Might not go down too well. So I'll just post some WIP picture of a crow I did for the time being:

Hello all. Just thought you might have fun looking at some of my stuff. I am a high functioning autistic with Savant Syndrome. Somehow I made it through college and became an art professor before I found out. I had a severe illness that affected my mind and made my autistic symptoms more......noticeable. It has placed me in a position where I am going to have to quit because I have lost the ability to work within the "administrative bureaucracy". Its for the better. Looks like I am just going to be a plain on sculptor. Have a look if you like, its at www.darrelltousley.com good luck all.
