You have a real talent, Diamond_Dog. I like this drawing a lot. You really captured the love and joy between a boy and his puppy.

Good job!

30. I have seen so many stories of people saving an animal

only to discover that the animal came along at just the right time - and saved them. From self harm. Or from overwhelming grief. or all kinds of conditions. These really are symmetric relationships, and often you gotta suspect the animal knows it.

One thing I just noticed, and I'm going to have to pay attention to this going forward, is that I'm viewing this on my laptop, which is actually on my lap. As I was about to get up I noticed a noticable change in the coloration of your work, having to do with the change in my viewing angle. This REALLY made a HUGE difference, and for your piece it was for the better.

Just wanted to pass this on, as I end up looking at a lot of 'pictures' online, and I bet I've missed out on seeing the best of many of them.

[Diamond_Dog]

25. That's interesting, TY Abolishinist!

I’m wondering what caused the change in color? Like when you view a TV from the side as opposed to front and center?

[Abolishinist]

31. So I looked at your picture on my desktop, and then on my Fire tablet, no changes

when changing the viewing angle. So it must be something to do with my laptop, which is a 15" HP. It doesn't change the color so much as making everything lighter, faded if you will.
