Winner of Pet Video Contest #8

[bunzmunch]

i dotn get it... wheres the pet? alll i see is drawings?

[nobabiesforyou]

and i thought people called me good at drawing :D

what pencils did you use?

[debcoart]

Remember....this was a collaboration art piece. Amy Weber did the first half of the video and artwork and sent it to me to finish. So I don't know what pencils she uses.

I use Prismacolor. I used them again in the Winner of Pet Video Contest #11 when I made the Sharky drawing. :D

[nobabiesforyou]

thanks! ive gotta get some of those then!

[amyweberscribblecast]

I used Caran d'Ache supracolor II and Staedtler watercolor pencils for my part.

[nobabiesforyou]

Thanks, i really want some because they look really good in quality!

[fourceez]

So awesome Debcoart...

[debcoart]

Thank you, Glen!

[NihonShorty]

That's really good :D

And I like your sense of humor lol ^_^ (really sorry if that sounds sarcastic, i dont mean it to)

[debcoart]

Katie, thank you!  Glad you like the artwork and the sense of humor!

[wonderland03]

COOL! nice video! hey can you asnwer one question for me thoug? umm..how do you make chalk pastels work better?

[debcoart]

Wonder...my understanding with the pastels is that they need special paper that has 'tooth' to it. Layering them onto each other. Using spray fixative to help them adhere better. I am not a pastel expert, though, by any means. There are many books on using pastels that could be more helpful to you than me. :D

[wonderland03]

THANKS i'll try!

[artmemoirs]

Lovely.

[debcoart]

Muchas gracias, seniorita! (Don't mind me....I like to pretend that I can speak Spanish, but I only know about 10 words)

[SilverDragonMist]

don't mean to be a know it all, but this totally irks me so just let me get it over with... seniorita would mean "little senior" in spanish. nix the "I" and add an "Enye" to the "n"

[debcoart]

Well, I'm glad you got that off your chest.

[fivegurl]

OMG...wow i love it..feel free to draw some of the animals i have in my vids for me ok..lol

[debcoart]

Fivegurl, thanks! Amy and I had a great time collaborating on the artwork for the winner of this contest.

If you subscribe to my Channel, you will know when the next pet video contest begins and maybe you will be the winner...ya never know!

[Spellslinger2]

Wow, that's beautiful. I wish I could get my paint brush to do that!

[debcoart]

Thanks, Alex! I'm glad that you enjoyed the artwork that Amy and I created for the winner of this contest.

[grace2244]

I love watching the time lapse art process. Beautiful colors too!

[annie1811]

That pens kool!

[bowzip]

That is fantastic to see it done that way, love it! Cute little birds.

[debcoart]

Thanks, Bowzip! Amy has inspired me to give a while at some time lapse videoing, or whatever you call it. I swear, one of these days I will manage to pull it off yet!

[fourceez]

Way to go girl!!! You rock... hey got my site going finally... aaarggghhhh... it looks pretty rough right now but gimme' time. I will leave a perfect place for some of your most excellent work. will email you with details.. Great Video and song too. your fan Glen from big Burleson, TX (home of THE Kelly Clarkson)

[debcoart]

Four, congrats on the website! Yay! It takes a LOT of work on those babies. I haven't updated mine in years.

I wish I could take credit for the cool video work and song in this video, however, that was all done by my pal, Amy, who collabed with me on the artwork. My portion of the video is the same drab monolgue as usual. I think I should drink a pot of cappuccino and THEN make these videos so I at least sound like I'm alive. =)

[comickitty]

Absolutely beautiful artwork of the cockatiels. They are marvelous birds, and loving pets. A++++++++++

[debcoart]

Thanks for the complement on the artwork, Comic! June & Ipyana I can't take credit for, but according to Shelly they provide hours and hours of entertainment.

[k6yardotcom]

Great work! 5/5!

[debcoart]

Thanks, k6! Happy New Year to you and may 2008 be your best year ever.

[isablue123]

Nice work, Amy and Deb! Happy new year to all.

[debcoart]

Happy New Year, Isa! Thanks for popping in to check out our artwork. I was totally thrilled to be allowed to collaborate with Amy. I admire her work a great deal and she was a total honey to work with. =)

[bowlingballout]

Loved the 'tiels.

[debcoart]

Thanks BBO...aren't they cute?

[Doodlebug52167]

Yeah Deb! Another fine video! I've had my Mac for a year now and still haven't figured out how to compress my videos without reducing the quality!

[debcoart]

Having a Mac is a trip! My dream came true. Happy New Year to ya, C!

[murfra]

oooohhhhhhhh is that what's happening with my videos? When saving them to a video file the quality always seems lower. So is there a trick to this so saving them doesn't do this?

[rockybudgeboa]

Beautiful Art work. I have to get a real funny video of Rocky and will enter it  :)

[debcoart]

Excellent! Can't wait to see it! I hope to have contest #9 beginning very soon.............

[rockybudgeboa]

Problem is Rocky does not want to perform on cue, he prefers that I do the work. He is afterall, The Boss. He will be 8 in January

[debcoart]

Perhaps you could make a video of Rocky's best clips and make it all into one? You have a lot of vids to choose from there on your Channel.

So Rocky is The Boss, eh? lololol

Have a Happy NewYear!

[rockybudgeboa]

YES he sure is.

How could I do that? I know NOTHING about editing videos :)

[debcoart]

I know what you mean about editing videos! I started out using Windows Movie Maker and it was constantly freezing up my pc. But after using the program many times, I finally managed to figure a few things out.

I just got a Mac for Christmas, so now I have iMovie in my computer! YAY! this video is the first one I have made using that program and it's unbelievable how easy it is to use. I have a lot of plans to make some better edited videos in the future once I learn my way around.

[rockybudgeboa]

I dont have anything in my computer. One day, I will go and get that special software that they sell, Easy Media Creator 10

[creativeboho]

wow this is lovely!

Love, violette

[debcoart]

Thank you,Violette! I hope you will be entering the pet video contests.

Happy New Year!

[nyissa64]

I sure hope your feeling better Deb! Happy New Year!!

[debcoart]

I'm feeling better, for sure. But I still don't have my voice back entirely yet. It keeps cutting out on me. However, the other symptoms are nearly all gone...finally! Thanks for the well wishes, hon.

Happy New Year to you, too! Glad to hear that your daughter will soon be visiting again.

[nyissa64]

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much Deb!

The art work is amazing and beautiful! You both did an awesome job! I can't wait to see it in person!!

Thank you for all you do with the fun contest you put out there!!

[debcoart]

Yay!!! I'm so glad that you like it, Shelly!

[debcoart]

At long last the video announcing the winner is here! Thanks to all of you for your patience in this delay. I have been pretty ill for the past 3 weeks, so I appreciate your understanding.

CONGRATULATIONS to the winner of the contest!!!!!
