Haha! I have that game! I could never land the planes on the carrier. And if by some rare chance I landed it, I could never beat the second level anyways! Ah, great times.

Lori... don't be so hard on yourself.. if you think something is impossible of course it'll overwhelm you everytime you try to face it. Fur is something that is really hard to do. Imagine, the Gerbil and Rabbit on the blockbuster commercials took over one million single strand hairs on each one to make them look real. In that respect none of these pictures can look "just LIKE" the photo. If you set impossible goals for how you want your picture to turn out you'll always be disappointed. I think you should be proud. It's a very nice picture of a squirrel. The contrast would come along nicely if only you set high, but realistic, goals for how you want it to turn out. Art is supposed to be a release from life and troubles and turmoil, not create it. Don't stress over a picture.. just relax, you're great :-D

this is as done as it's getting, I've already gotten extra space once.... thanks Aubrey, such nice words... I've always been a perfectionist, and get real irritated when something doesn't turn out how I want it to.... this little guy would've been better had I taken a different approach from the beginning, but oh well.... lately, I just feel like playing on here, doing things from my mind rather than a reference... and you wouldn't believe how many pics I've deleted recently! lol

DeadlyBlondeArcher (May 5, 2004)

I think he turned out quite nicely, Lori, and I totally understand the perfectionist frustration thing. I have been doing the same thing lately... working on stuff and then just deleting it. One of the first paintings I ever did in real oils I got so mad that I painted a huge black x on it and threw it on the floor. It felt wonderful. (But I was like 8 years old lol) I got in alot of trouble, though. :) And the next day I told my art teacher she was ugly and fat (well... she was, and she was mean to me, too) Sometimes you just have to let it go and do exactly that, draw and paint things that you like just because you like them, and don't worry about if anyone else is going to like it or not. Some of your best stuff will come out like that. Right now I am working on the weirdest picture I never thought I'd do.... just because it's a combination of some of my favorite stuff. Even if it doesn't turn out perfect I'm going to post it and be happy. You should be proud of your squirrel... he looks fat and happy to me. :)

LovelyLori (May 8, 2004)

thanks dba.. well put.... I hate getting so frustrated, and I try to tell myself not to give a damn about it... but it's kinda hard on this site, I want things to look just so for all who view it.....

Moderator accountability

xwindflyer (edited May 2, 2004)

I think when Moderators move or delete art work, it should be publically posted as to who and, why the comment or work was deleted, or moved. They should be held accountable for their actions, and not remain behind the cloak of anonymity.

Oooooh, this thing made my heart do a hop-skippity-leap when I saw it. Takes alot to do that to me. I can see both versions perfectly, but v4 has some sort of a more eerie effect for me for some reason. One of your best lately, cloxbaby. :)

edit: It's got some really cool something going on, because my daughter's not easily affected either and it made her nauseated. :D good work.

Well.. It is what it is.. I say..move on...

Xodiak (May 1, 2004)

Just imagine that you are Mr. Wilson and Dennis the Menace, following some plans he and his friends made, sneaked into your house while you were sleeping, moved the painting in the living room to your kitchen and stole 8 candies from the jar in your kitchen. Now do you all understand why Wilson was always mad at Dennis? >:D
Oh, and I like your drawing very much, xwindflyer. It is very colourful, I always like to pick colourful stones and shells when I go to the beach. As for moving your drawing to another board, I cannot say much as the names of the boards do not mean anything to me, the drawings are the ones that have a meaning.

The only thing is,... now I can't do anything to try and fix it if I wanted to, because I am over the limit on kb space in Intermediate. I guess thats just the way it's going to be.

Zinc (May 2, 2004)

Well, if you still want to work on this, you can memo any moderator and ask for space (try memo'ing the active ones). Just don't forget to give the mod a link to the picture... and then wait.. for a while.

That is awesome - it looks just like here, except the birds are ussually lighter colored seagulls and stuff, and the water is more of a blue than an aqua... Anywho, personally, I like it, but a bit of a contrast between the waves and the sky might look a bit better.

A fair description? You want a fair description? Well what the fuck is the point of painting then? Why not just sit here and describe what I would have painted? The painting is the description. Why...I aughta beat your ass!

I am just going to sit here and smile silently, for a change... For more than one reason. :)

davincipoppalag (Apr 29, 2004)

Da Blooz Bruddahz! ..You da man Axil. Good to see you drawing. Cindy,,you look like you're up to something when you just sit there silently and smile..... lessee.. A Fair Description: >There was a large booth where brownies were being sold, and colored paper had been tacked up around the room...the smell of popcorn was in the air, and the pies were on the table proudly wearing their blue, red and white ribbons.....
