I worked on this all day long as soon as I heard the news of his death. It was always my lifelong dream to go to the Australian zoo and meet him. Now I no longer have a lifelong goal. I feel bad for his children and his family.
Software: Photoshop CS2
Time: a long time
Refrence: I used a refrence but I completely forget where I found it at. (oops) I'll have to search for it later.

Yeah ... I once had the opportunity to go to Australia zoo to see Steve Irwin and I didn't go with the rest of my family ... and boy do I regret it now Poor guy.
Yeah, it was definately shocking. Why a stingray? There are only like 3 documented deaths from stingrays ever. (that's what I heard on CNN today anyway). So that was definately crazy.

Thank you. Yeah, it's so weird that someone can work with the most dangerous animals everyday but get killed by a stingray. I've even petted a stingray before (although it's stinger was cut off) they seem so gentle.

yeah, it's just weird that it was such a seemingly harmless swim with the stingrays that killed him instead of snakes or the many other dangerous things he handled everday.

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
Have a great time everyone and please fav this article so as many people can see the featured works. I would recommend seeing each one and faving them too.
