sorry,,I'm an Isketcher... How do you get your texture to look that way? I love the appearance..but I have tried to do that and I cant.. any chance of divulging your secret?

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 13, 2004)

Hey Dino! That's my word. Only you got it backwards! It's bassackwards! lol. I have been trying to figure that out too, davin, cool, isn't it? Dino is the most original person I know.

DinoFlorist (Mar 13, 2004)

oh no! you're right! Do you remember him? I remember you were saying you should put him down and others were saying 'send him back to hell.' I laughed so hard I cried the whole time I was drawing it.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 14, 2004)

Yes, I remember... :) :) It was hilarious.... I was on the list to beta test the new one and I didn't do it... have like 20 emails from them lol.

fleeting_memory (Apr 24, 2004)

it reminds me of that one movie with the mario brothers where there was that girl who hatched from a dinosaur egg and she belonged to another world but there was that wall they went through to get there and this guy pushed his face through and it looked like this-ok sorry ADD moment

Umm. Bug?

Harmanye (Mar 12, 2004)

Everytime I edit the description of my picture, it says in my studio "Entry set unfinished (time) -7" ... Anything I can do about this? It took me awhile to realize because the first two times I edited I didn't check my studio, then I did the third time (because I check my user page and saw I was losing points) and it said I lost 7 points 3 times. To make sure I edited the picture again, and sure enough, -7 points. In case it makes a difference, I'm using Firebird 0.7, Windows XP

Maid

Harmanye (Mar 10, 2004)

Just practicing slightly (~_^) more realistic female form.

Eheh. Yes, the timer is horribly wrong, I just didn't want to submit untiul I was finished, and then I got sidetracked 0_0

I hope it's alright for Intermediate, I wanted a larger canvas size, so I couldn't put it on the beginner board ^^;

It appears as though her master has told her to sweep the dirt off the ground...

That's odd, in my studio it says this picture was set unfinished twice, 2 and 5 minutes after I submitted the finished version... which means a 14 point reduction. Most strange, because it says finished on the image page...
And again... Most odd.
Would it say by moderator if a moderator were doing it?

Yay! You finished. I like the way the sky emphasized the center spire. The pic really has a spiritual feel.

emmamommalag (Jun 29, 2004)

Very nice! I like the lights here and there.

This is great. One wonders what kind of society dwells in these spires.

alwaysLearning (Mar 13, 2004)

Oooh, more pictures of the home of my heart! You have a real gift for rendering this kind of scene, Cindy! :) There are two points that I have to question, though, for future reference (again, not that I could do this myself, but I can tell that these two points don't look quite right -- my eye being better at this than my hands, as yet, at least).

First, the ripples in the dry wash of the path seem to me to be too consistently angled, instead of following the curves of the path, the way I'd expect them to, if they were caused by water running over the mud during flood time (which is what I think of when I see that kind of image). They'd make more sense if there were a way for the water to have acted on the land outside of the path, the same way, but with the wall there, I'd expect the water to be restricted to the path more, and curve to follow it, during flash floods.

Second, the tufts of greenery on the bush don't seem to have a correlary set of darker areas, within the shadow of the bush, so it looks to me like the shadow is of a bush that doesn't have as much foliage on it as this one does.

These are both fairly minor points though, which I offer only in order to point out directions in which you can continue to work on advancing your work, which is already spectacular, and VERY evocative of the landscapes you've been painting. <smile> As you may be able to tell, what I've seen so far has been enough to spur me to go back through the pictures in your user board, in order to see more of these pieces! <grin> But even great artists can still grow, and I hope I've offered some useful suggestions for your consideration, here. :)

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 13, 2004)

sure, always, I appreciate all the helpful suggestions. (Actually, it doesn't rain often where this was taken from and it's very windy, so I assume the ripples were caused by the wind since the sand changes rapidly - although the rain does a number on this wash when it does happen)

A dream, revisited

gloworm043 (Mar 13, 2004)

Tried to draw a dream I had as a child..the dream was very vivid and has stayed with me all of my life. It didn't turn out as I recall it, because I have trouble drawing fine detail...any suggestions would be most helpful.

I tried to draw a picture of a dream I had when I was child. I did say, 'I tried'...couldn't really get it to look like I saw it in my dream tho. I might try again when I learn more.

A Ghost's Warping of a Lullaby

Those Opera Ghosts!

A variant on the Ghosts that inhabit my History notes. They generally sing opera or laugh boisterously. I had planned this to be a big project and work on it for hours and hours, but I've found that I need something new to draw. I hope you enjoy it anyways.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 12, 2004)

Wow! How do you give them that three dimensional textural look? It is so cool! It's kinda like those computer-generated playdough ppl (I don't know what they are called) but I love looking at these drawings like this. Ya might have to memo one of the Mod Squad if they don't catch your request on here. C ya Dinos!

davincipoppalag (Mar 12, 2004)

lol they must be singing "spirituals!" lol I love your pictures...and I want to know too how you do that... I have played and played with the tools and I cant make anything that looks like that texture.....secrets!!!
