Oh, imagination has a lot to do with it, but, to use a term Walt Disney used, to be believable you have to strive for a "logical impossibility". This is especially the case if your client wants a picture of a creature that has never existed on this planet, or hasn't since the Jurassic era, and then never with the current type of humans in contact with them.

Keight == "There aint no such thing as a free lunch." - R. A. Heinlein
It seems like I'm figuring out a basic rule of art--that it's not created from thin air, that usually it's not something concocted in someone's imagination. Rather it's more likely a person's representation of what they've seen or are drawing from a model, giving the piece the artist's own "fingerprint" so to speak. It seems so obvious, but it also feels like the dawning of a realization. Anyway, it's opening doors of artistic possibility for me and that's a good thing!

With me, it is spiders; I'm not too fond of bees and wasps in close proximity, either. An artist's rule of thumb, pay attention to details, you'll need them later....

You? Graceless? Hardly. For someone who's terrified of snakes, it was a moment where the desire for a photograph overpowered the desire to get the heck out of there. I just thought it was funny that it would actually be helpful to someone needing a picture of a reptile. Sometimes you just shake your head and grin, you know?

I'm delighted you approve. Basalt, just because some are slightly damp, they aught not to be taken for granite.
