Artist's Comments

Thank You: Thank you all very much for over 1,000 views and over 100 favorites. I really appreciate all the kind comments and all of you coming together to remember Steve with me.

Please do not disrespect my deviation by making ridiculous and blatant insults or disrespectful comments toward Steve Irwin, the things he did, or toward me. This deviation is meant to bring people together so that they may reflect upon a great man.

Steve Irwin died on September 03, 2006. He was filming a documentary near the Great Barrier Reef when a sting ray pierced him in the heart with it's poisonous barbs. Emergency crews declared him dead on the scene. Irwin is survived by his wife and two children.

This is my personal tribute to the Croc Hunter. He was a great man who put a lot of devotion into animals and earth. He will be sorely missed.

Note: If I put this in the wrong catagory, then please let me know.

EDIT: I've moved this deviation to scraps. I'll still keep it as my featured deviation. However, I think this is clogging up my real gallery. All my stats are pointed toward this picture, and it's not really my art. So, I'm moving it to scraps with sadness. However, this will not change the true meaning of the picture or how I feel about it. Thank you.

Thank you. On a lighter note, it looks like that tiger is saying, "Talk to the hand, mate."

This is a good way to remember him. He made many of us laugh and he made us cringe at his insane risks. This man knew the dangers, he knew the risks. It's a real shame to the whole world that he was caught out by Nature, which he strived to protect and to educate people with.

Before you insult someone, take a moment to walk a mile in thier shoes, so when you insult them, you're a mile away, and you have their shoes!

Mermaid Barret is pretty than you. Get over it.

That's what gets me the most. He's battled snakes and elephantes and all kinds of other deadly creatures, and he was stabbed in the chest by a sting ray. D: It sucks and it's not fair.
