Hey artsy types,

Here's something just for fun.

I've often wondered what a 'qole' is. I chose the nickname because it is short, memorable, and rare, not because it actually means something. But, imagine that a "qole" is a kind of animal. I've done that a couple of times, and I always imagine something Dr. Suess-like.

I'd love to see some artist's impressions of what a "qole" creature might look like.

If I like your work of art, I'll use it as my avatar, everywhere online.

ahhh did it really fast, with the mouse. If you like it I can make something more carefully. I dunno, I also think the hat is important.

I dunno why (and it's probably best not to try), but from the very start when I saw the word "quole" I pictured something like a moose or elk : big, strong, huge horns or antlers, huge wet eyes, intimidating but pacific. Does that help ? :-)

or lick it. I dunno, qole, sounds to me like tadpole, so i though something green and can swim ^^. The minds works oddly as everyone pictures something different.
And I though the n810 would be a nice touch.
I insist, I did it really fast, but if qole likes it I can make something with more care.
And maybe using the tablet (and rdesktop) to draw.
