Oh wow, excellent work!

I love the style, the attention to detail, and what are to me, some unique techniques. I love how you've done the leaves in particular, in both. On Hold On, the clouds, although simple, are very effective. And the dandelions are a really nice touch :D With the addition of some more details (in everything around the subjects (bull and rider)) this could be photo-realistic! Looks like a scene from my part of the world (western US/Rocky Mtns).

And Bobkitty is precious! Animal fur is one of the hardest things to do with Inkscape, without resorting to some raster "tricks", i.e. filters, etc. But you've done an awesome job :D I see some kind of odd markings below the cub's chin -- I'm not sure if it might be a watermark (intentional), or something accidentally leftover from another image?

Anyway, welcome to InkscapeForum, and very nice work!

Hi again,
So coincidentally, there's a PBR show on tv today. When I looked at your drawing yesterday, I noticed the cowbell underneath the bull's chest....or at least, that's what it looks like. But I don't see anything like that on the bulls on tv. Is that something you can explain? Or did you just draw the picture?

Oh wait! Ok, the camera was just following the last rider down the hallway after their ride, and the rope he was dragging along behind him has a bell on the end. Oh wow! Ok, I DO see a bell on the next bull ride. Now see? You learn something new every day, lol. Next question, what's the purpose of the cowbell under the bull? Is it just to frighten the animal, and make it jump around wildly (in addition to the other "encouragment")?
