Thanks Enrique, I'll post some more soon. They are a little more obvious than these ones. As Luke points out; without being able to look closely it's impossible to tell. He's right; but up close it's more obvious. I'll upload the originals to Picasa later, and then you'll be able to zoom in with any photo viewer and see for yourselves. I can't believe how many people liked these. A few people have reposted them already. Thanks!

Kol, I can't thank you enough! Kol found another post which helps to prove that these are done in pencil.

- Kol Tregaskes
Excellent pictures - how long did it take you to scan the photographs into Photoshop and then edit them? The only pencil that has come into contact with these "drawings" is the Photoshop pencil. A tip - stop trying to fool people into thinking you are a "real" artist, because all you are doing is cheapening proper artist's works whom have spent hours creating real pictures as opposed to a few minutes on a graphics editing package.

Actually, I have learned quite a bit about these drawing since I made this post. Not only have I discovered all of the artists, but I've learned more about how they are created.

- Iphigenie
I'm amazed that people are still posting these photographs of animals and calling them pencil drawings. This is at least the third case I can remember (and there are probably more) of this happening. The myth about them being drawings was debunked long ago. It's also funny that whenever they get posted the person posting them doesn't make it clear that they aren't the artist, exactly as you have done.
- canadianmaple09
@canadianmaple09 I posted these back in March, 2009 when I was beginning to use FF regularly. I ran them through TinEye hoping to find their source, but it returned no results. When I ran through again yesterday, TinEye returned over four pages of results. If I had it to do over again, would I? Yes
- Michael Fidler
The people you refer do don't join "just to slam" someone, they are concerned members of the online art community that want to see real art appreciated and fake art or photos being passed off as drawings revealed for what they really are. Artists such as Brian Duey, Armin Mersmann, Paul Lung, Zindy Nielsen,and many others do not receive the appreciation they deserve because of scams like this.
- canadianmaple09
canadianmaple09, the worthiness of your motives notwithstanding (and they are worthy, definitely) you could definitely have approached Michael completely differently by say, giving him the benefit of the doubt rather than attacking in a highly accusatory tone.
- Chieze Okoye
When you've seen these same pictures posted multiple times by people that just find them on the internet and claim they are pencil drawings, when it has already been established on multiple occasions that they are not, the "benefit of the doubt" approach seems a little too generous. People post these images and claim they're drawings to get views for their own site or blog or page or whatever it is they post it on. It's wrong and it needs to be stopped.
- canadianmaple09
I can understand that, but you should also keep in mind that everyone is not as well-versed in the issue as you are. All I'm saying is that you would probably be more effective in this case if you weren't setting this up as a us-vs.-them, "must destroy with the validity my argument!" attitude when talking to a guy who's been actively having a discussion on the issue in what seems to me (having been around when he first posted the images and the follow up thread and what not) to be good faith.
- Chieze Okoye
Look at his first comment here. People clearly thought he drew them. He doesn't set the record straight. He also claims that they "are actually pencil drawings" and that "I have more drawings too." Later he claims that you need to look at them closer to see they are drawings and that he will "post the originals". Once again, this makes it sound like they are his. This follows the same...

Greg and Chieze, thanks for your support. I really appreciate it. @canadianmaoles09, for what it’s worth, I share your concerns about giving proper attribution when sharing also. However, I admit that I'm more conscious of it now than I was at the time of this post. Nevertheless, I have never taken credit for anybody's work here other than my own!
- Michael Fidler

- Michael Fidler
I would probably qualify as an image analysis expert, but there's no way to prove that online. One thing we can do is look at color. Even though the images are black and white,they're actually RGB images, meaning they contain cyan magenta and yellow. If you look at the image of the rhino you have posted then look at the photo of the rhino at the photographer's site you can see they both...

"The revenge of the Forty-seven Ronin (四十七士 Shi-jū Shichi-shi?), also known as the Forty-seven Samurai, the Akō vendetta, or the Genroku Akō incident (元禄赤穂事件 Genroku akō jiken?) took place in Japan at the start of the eighteenth century. The tale has been described by one noted Japanese scholar as the country's "national legend." It recounts the most famous case involving the samurai code of honor, bushidō. The story tells of a group of samurai who were left leaderless (became ronin) after their daimyo (feudal lord) was forced to commit seppuku (ritual suicide) for assaulting a court official named Kira Yoshinaka, whose title was Kōzukeno suke. The ronin avenged their master's honor after patiently waiting and planning for over a year to kill Kira. In turn, the ronin were themselves forced to commit seppuku — as they had known they would be — for committing the crime of murder. With little embellishment, this true story was popularized in Japanese culture as emblematic of the loyalty,...

Ok, I was being a bit silly about Wilde (there are plenty of things the Victorians could apologize for).

- Anthony Citrano
do you by any chance know how they clean those "non-recurring cost" mirrors from dust (=degrading performance)?
- earlyadopter
As far as I can tell they use a lot of water to clean them, which, in the desert, is definitely sub-optimal. What makes a lot more sense is a distributed power grid made up of small photovoltaic systems on all homes and business with sufficient exposure to justify the cost.
- Jason Wehmhoener
Plenty of places in the desert have huge underground aquifers. We'd be screwed here in Phoenix without ours. Also, once the plants are up and running they can condense the existing water out of the atmosphere. I don't think that water is a big obstacle. I agree that pretty much ALL buildings should generate power. I also think that huge solar plants in the Arizona desert make a lot of sense too. I'll even go so far as to call it a national defense issue - it should be a critical priority for the nation.

It's been a while since I've had this particular 'job', but I find it more challenging now than before: the company I worked at was bought and sold 3x while I was there, it makes for quite the paper trail for me to explain. Boo!

- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
I'm hoping so, DS. I'm in the process of revamping my resume and find myself at a crossroads: do I mention clients by name? The fact that our company worked with them is public knowledge so there wouldn't be any disclosure issues, and mentioning them by name will give some nice weight to my job duties. I'm not even sure why I'm waffling on it...
- FFing Enigma
is there any way you can ask their explicit permission? that would certainly put my mind at rest if i was in your place. dunno if that's going too far or not.
- Joe The Sausage
:(((((
- Vicarbott
Good Luck!!!!!
- The Real sofarsoShawn
There's not really a way for me to reliably ask for permission: the main client I worked with is a Fortune 500 company and just the request would get bounced around from department to department for who knows how long. You should've seen the hoops we went through when our mailing address changed...
- FFing Enigma
I hope you find something that pays well that you enjoy, Tina. I'm sorry you're in this position.
- Spidra Webster
I'm up in the air on that one too, Pea. My last 2 positions were very different and I'd take a new job in either field (development or trainer). Both used some similar skills but the duties themselves were very different. Perhaps I'll try both a skills resume and a chronological resume, see which one gets the most bites.

Details of Unemployment: Is there a 3-month or 6-month extension available? When I first filed unemployment, I screwed up. I didn't realize there might be extensions. Also, you have to work X months out of Y months after your unemployment ends to get more unemployment.
- Mitchell Tsai
In SC it's 13 weeks with a 13 week extension, but there might be a program for an additional 26 weeks at this point (not sure on that one yet). The working X months out of Y is the amount of time you worked before you were unemployed and not after (at least, that's the way it is here).
- FFing Enigma
Yep, I was shocked to find that I was "over-qualified" to be the "fry guy" or even a bleeping "banquet server".
- Mathew A. Koeneker
In SC, how do they figure out what to pay you? In CA, I think they pick the highest quarter out of the 3 months ago - 15 months ago (or something like that).
- Mitchell Tsai
Good luck Tina. You're smart AND you've got 'street sense'. A great combination for any company. Don't get discouraged ..... We're all rootin' for ya!
- Charlie Anzman
Good luck... :(
- rowlikeagirl
Mitchell, in SC they take your highest quarter out of the past 18 months, not including the last 3 months of work, and will pay up to 50% of your earnings up to a rather low cap.
