Giraffe-a-day

Super Massive Awesome Announcement!

2010-04-11T02:36:00.000-07:00

Sorry I've been away, but I'm back now, so lock up your giraffes lest they be mocked.
First of all, I've figured out how to make a blog button, so please grab it and put it on your blog.

125px; width: 125px; color: black; background-color: white;"><center><a href=http://giraffeaday.blogspot.com/><img src="http://i41.tinypic.com/ohsk7q.jpg/" /></a></center>

If you don't know how to add a blog button, here's a nice tutorial I found.

Next, I know some of you don't have Blogger, and so you can't follow this. I don't want you to miss any posts, so I thought I'd add Giraffe-a-day to a few more platforms so you can follow it in whatever way you find best.

Facebook

Flickr

Tumblr

Twitter

Now, on all of these I will be posting either the entire post, or a link to here whenever I post a new giraffe.

Finally, I have implanted all of these features on to the sidebar so that you don't have to trawl through to this post in order to locate everything.

I know I have some unpublished giraffes in my email inbox, and I will be posting them the next few days. Thanks to everyone who sends me giraffes and to everyone who reads this, and to everyone who reads this but hasn't sent me a giraffe, why not? You can find all the information you need on the side bar.

No, no, this is very logical. He could only afford three flippers, so he... chopped off his leg... and... attached a twig... to his neck. Yeahhh, makes perfect sense.

Giraffe-46

2010-03-28T12:36:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry for the lack of updates. Smack me over the head if that ever happens again. On to the giraffe.

Did I pronounce "giraffe" right? Honestly, the only way I could possibly see this as acceptable is if I actually pronounce it like "weird distorted palm tree thing".

However, if that is true, it really explains a lot.

Giraffe-45

2010-03-01T09:38:00.000-08:00

The body of a yorkshire terrier. The tail of a pig. The neck of a giraffe. A faceless giraffe.

Giraffe-40-44

Yes, posts are normally confined to one giraffe. But here are five giraffes drawn by the same person in a search for perfection. Sadly, this was not achieved.

The bottom quarter looks like a table. There appears to be a human thumb on the torso. This is her first giraffe. It can only get better, no?

N'AWWWWWWWWW. IT'S SO HAPPY! This is obviously before frustration set in.

I'm not actually sure where this one came, so I'll just put it in the middle. This is when it gets angry, and when it's angry, It doesn't hulk up, it insect/dragon/eyebrows up. Aww yeahh.

I like how she puts so much effort into the spots and texturing the back, but neglects simple things like legs. Or a face.

And so we come to the end of this adventure. Let us leave you with this strapping, elegant and muscular final attempt. But I don't think anybody will notice as the will be far too occupied with it's lack of face. Pfft, features are so not streamlined.

2010-01-05T11:15:00.000-08:00

We're had plenty of three legged llamas and the like, but I really think that this is the first three legged bird-beaver-upside-down-head-asaurus.

Giraffe-38

2010-01-04T08:04:00.000-08:00

Okay, this one really looks like an evil mastermind. If Voldemort was a giraffe, he'd be this one. For sure.

Giraffe-37

2010-01-04T08:02:00.000-08:00

I don't have anything to say about this. Come on Raffi, do something stupid!

Giraffe-36

2010-01-04T07:59:00.000-08:00

The head is okay. The rest is vandalized stone henge.

Giraffe-35

2010-01-04T07:47:00.000-08:00

For some reason, this one seems awfully hauty.

Giraffe-34

2010-01-04T07:38:00.000-08:00

... if I was him i'd have the coolest chair. Would I trade my arms for that chair?

Giraffe-33

2010-01-04T07:36:00.000-08:00

What is this I don't even...

Giraffe-32

2010-01-04T07:33:00.000-08:00

This one's boring.
hmm...
NICE FACE!

Giraffe-31

2010-01-04T07:30:00.000-08:00

Thought Process;

Lets see, this still doesn't look like a giraffe

But it's got everything a giraffe does! SPOTS LEGS NECK

I could just leave it, it doesn't look too bad.

NO IT NEEDS MORE!

TONGUES! THEY HAVE DISTINCTIVE TONGUES!

DONE!

oh... what have I done

Giraffe-30

2010-01-04T07:27:00.000-08:00

This is not just any giraffe, this is an m&s giraffe. And by that we mean that it's a three wheeled car attached to the head of a fat rabbit.

Giraffe-29

2010-01-04T07:25:00.000-08:00

If you look at it sideways it looks like a whale. If you don't it looks like a ladle.

Giraffe-28

2010-01-04T07:23:00.000-08:00

It's not a giraffe, it's a skateboard ramp. But at least he looks happy about it.

Giraffe-27

2010-01-04T07:21:00.000-08:00

The bottom half is a tree.

Giraffe-26

2009-12-23T14:10:00.000-08:00

It seems to be a jellyfish. Attached to the head of a great dane. With string.

Giraffe-25

2009-12-23T14:06:00.000-08:00

It has fangs. And it looks angry. Are you terrified yet?

Giraffe-24

2009-12-23T13:58:00.000-08:00

I've finally discovered how snakes are born. They grow from gloves.

Giraffe-23

2009-12-23T13:36:00.000-08:00

Let me tell you why one never sees a flying giraffe. Once they get into the air, well, they fade into clouds. And that's the truth.

Giraffe-22

2009-12-23T10:32:00.000-08:00

It has been long disputed what noise a giraffe makes. However, I am fairly certain that this one is capable of a rousing

"WHARMARLARBLEKARTURTURFULURKLE"

Can't you tell?

Giraffe-21

2009-12-23T10:19:00.000-08:00

Run Raffi run!
Run from the mocking commentary, don't let it catch you!
"You only have two legs"
WHAMM. Too late, it caught you.

Giraffe-20

2009-12-23T10:16:00.001-08:00

The three legged llama. Is that a seventies dance move?

Giraffe-19

2009-12-23T10:14:00.000-08:00

Twenty seconds. Twenty seconds and this was all that he was able to get done. Giraffes are not gowns, they cannot and should not be backless.
Other options; Hopefully this will cause him to not be so shy and to grow a backbone. Geddit? Backbone? GEDDIT?

Giraffe-18

2009-12-23T10:10:00.000-08:00

It doesn't need legs. The hooves are the only part that do anything anyway.

Giraffe-17

2009-12-23T10:08:00.000-08:00

It thinks that it's all "edgy" because it's just a face. But I know that it's just posing that way to distract us all from the fact that it is a cow. It is most definitely a cow.

Giraffe-16

2009-12-23T10:06:00.000-08:00

Yeah, his legs melted together. Got a problem with that?

Giraffe-15

2009-12-23T10:05:00.000-08:00

It as the power to grow a cape from its neck. It even has a theme song;

"He can grow a cape,

You can't grow a cape.

But he can grow a cape.

Yeah, Yeah, Super Giraffe... yeah"

Giraffe-14

2009-12-23T10:02:00.001-08:00

Thought Process;
"What goes between ears and a neck?
Argh! Panic! Panic.
There mustn't be anything, I'm overthinking it.
And... Done! Wait-
NURR HEAD NURR"

Giraffe-13

2009-12-23T10:00:00.000-08:00

He either fell into a rose bush, bought if off etsy.

Giraffe-12

2009-12-23T09:57:00.000-08:00

Sometimes Camels try to disguise themselves as giraffes, but there's no fooling me.

Giraffe-11

2009-12-08T00:38:00.001-08:00

Move along folks, just a deformed seahorse, nothing to see here.

Giraffe-10

2009-12-05T13:29:00.000-08:00

Happy Saturday!

Thought Process;
Almost done, just need to fix the leg
Forget the leg, the necks must be longer!
I can do the leg afterwards, now to extend the neck
Oh hell, no time to do the leg!
NO TIME FOR THE HEAD!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Giraffe-9

2009-12-04T12:38:00.000-08:00

In honour of giraffes featuring on QI, I present to you the most clever and fancy giraffe there is.

Fashion tip; Top hats elongate necks.

Giraffe-8

2009-12-04T12:21:00.000-08:00

You know, I could phychoanalyse this and say that the drawer is awkward in social situations, but it's really just a giraffe hiding behind a tree.

And with this I conclude the first Things are not what they seem, Hope to see you again, oddraffe.

Giraffe-7

2009-12-04T12:18:00.000-08:00

Things are not what they seem, post 2 of 3

A giraffe going past a window. You may be surprised to know that this did not take the entire twenty seconds to draw. No, it was done quickly. The same way the giraffe passed the window. Quickly. Yeah, I made a relation between the two. How cool am I?

Giraffe-6

2009-12-04T12:10:00.000-08:00

For the next three posts i'll be showcasing the "things are not what they seem" giraffes. These are the giraffes shown by the suspicious who think that there must be something more to draw than a simple giraffe.
We'll start with a classic.

"A giraffe? In twenty seconds? There must be some catch...I KNOW!"
There you have it folks. A giraffe. In twenty seconds. Or a giraffe at twenty past twelve. You be the judge.

Giraffe-5

2009-11-29T05:58:00.000-08:00

Crafty one.

Giraffe- 4

2009-11-28T15:13:00.000-08:00

Cubism gone mad.*

*rejected caption; "My squares, my squares, my lovely lady squares."

Giraffe-3

2009-11-27T12:00:00.000-08:00

I see a Llama with a messed up hair.

Giraffe- 2

2009-11-26T09:38:00.000-08:00

Right, I had planned to post a different Giraffe today, but, alas, I cannot access the scanner.

This was drawn by a qualified actuary. Does this show from the logical approach taken to draw this giraffe?

Giraffe-1

2009-11-25T04:08:00.000-08:00

This giraffe was by the lovely Limespark, and really, it's not stupid enough looking for me to be able to make a mocking comment. Oh well, tomorrow is a different day.
