Just wondering where you are.

your profile picture is amazing...did u draw it?

Now I am worried! :< More than a week without a dose of sketchfu is very dangerous! I hope you're ok, we miss you!

Hiya C :) I just read your updated profile and thoughts on the whole stolen and defaced art problem. While I like the idea of drawings being flagged I think it is very prone to abuse, far more than you might expect. Even 1 person could just randomly delete drawings this way, all they'd have to do is create some alts (noone checks logins of new members) and all vote on the one drawing. Or like those KittyKrew people, they'd just drag in some likeminded friends and go on a rampage spree. Every drawing that is based on another one is a potential target.

There are some ways to curb this a little bit, for instance require people to have at least X drawings before they can vote, but even then i could draw 1 dot, X times and be set.

What I am thinking of instead is to give the deletion option only to the top most voted people instead. If you look at the most cheered ever, all the people and works on it are dedicated artists, most of them pretty active too. It will be Much harder to abuse that I think. Or the volunteer option, with Matt & Andrew determining who will be moderator.
I'm still trying to compose a list of options for Matt & Andrew, but I've been slacking a bit and writing is not my strong suit (nor is English my native language) so it's taking longer than I'dve liked.

Oh you've disappeared! Is everything going ok?

ur SUPER right about copied art!!!an idiot called baby gal took mah art
once...

*hug* Just dropped by to say hi. :) Sketchfu artists are so funny, we get nervous after only four days of not hearing from a friend. *feels silly* I hope everything is going ok over there!

Oh, heh. I didn't realize that Gerbear was getting all the important info! XD Art is going to become my profession. I picked something that I love, and it has so many sidestreets! I'm going to be apprenticed to be a machinist so I can manufacture my original designs (people aren't the only thing that draw, although they're my favorite). Hand metalwork is very fun for me, but unfortunately very inconvenient to do with school in the way. I have a job at the moment (hopefully for as long as possible. I like this job.) coloring professional and developing original graphics for Alleycatscratch.com, a major costuming website. (It's being renovated. Please close your eyes if you visit, it's a mess in there and no new graphics are up.)

So it'll be pretty interesting, I'll be a machinist/designer. :3 They clash, but it's fine. Dad wants me to study machines with him and I want to study art. I won't be getting my way unless he gets his, so on the plus side I'll be learning double. >;P I guess I can deal with only minor flips for six years of apprenticship, but I don't like the sound of it. I must demand my time to draw, I'm no natural with those big clunky boxes of wire, oil and drill-bits. So there're the positive and negative sides. :) I hope I haven't put you to sleep with my story.

have a look at my new pictures.

Hi. Thanks for your support on all my drawings! As you may know, I have finished the Bob Ross picture and added two more, one detailed and one simplistic. Watch at your own leisure!

Hi :) I don't know if u saw this copy of the petition i send around. I was trying to have an ongoing discussion in one place but not everyone knew it was there. So take a look and the whole thing is still way open to discussion so put your two cents in if you want to.

Andrew Null responded to the copy rite petition here:

Centaur,
Thank you for all of your cheers and comments, they are very very appreciated. Isn't it fun that we all have our own styles. Sometimes, about my "dynamics" I think I take my pictures too far. That is what I like about yours, they are so subtle. But what would the world be like if we were all alike? Thanks again, dear lady.

thank you for your compliments. i feel... embellished.

Thanks for your cheers and comment!

Aw, thanks. :3 The only problem with me when I'm sick is that I always want to keep going at the same pace. I have all this time on my hands, don't dig naps and have the most creative thoughts. So I go to bed mentally exhausted, but physically ready to run around the block five times. *stares at ceiling* Ooooh well, that's a problem whether I'm sick or not. :P Don't worry, though. I'll be feeling better in no time. :)

I have found, that it is way easier to let somebodies artwork kind of pile up and then go and look at all of it at once. You get more of a feel for what they are doing, it is easier than hopping form gallery to gallery and easier for them to see what oyu have seem when it is in a big group like that. So feel free to wait til I have enuff and you have the time to look., *hugs for sweet centaur* BTW, your icon drawing looks like the style of Modigliani. If you dont know his work please google him, he is one of my favs ever. he got very stylized in his later work and i loved it.

hehehe!!! I think I was just Centaured!! I am dying to draw you one but keep getting distracted with community draws. I will get there tho!! A pretty female centaur with long brown hair! :)

dear centaur thanks for your comment and cheers and thanks for the "touch"

thank you for all of your sweet and kind attention and your cute remarks too!! i know how much time it takes and you have been totally awesome about taking time in my gallery. *gerbear hug*

I wish it WERE a poster! O.O It's from 'The Beautiful Letdown' tour, 'Live in San Diego'. I LOVE that DVD.

you r welcome ( you said thanks for the cheer one month ago) i wasnt on by a long time sorry...

cheers for the cheers and comment :)

Hi girl, thanks for all the cheers and comments,they're always appreciated. Thank you so much again ;)

Hiya C :) Thanks for your cheers and comments on my fridge magnet. Community drawings are tons of fun, hope I'll get to do loads more :)

Nah - just a Military insignia i got from work... :) it would have been alot easier to draw where it not for the point of the brush appearing elongated when magnified a couple of times.. oh well ... lol - thanks for the cheers and comments - now for another portrait.. :))

Hi Lady C ..., Thanks for your cheers and helpful comments on my first legitimate attempt at doing a portrait on sketchfu. I have to say i've received quite a bit of comments on this picture which is fantastic... I'm going to attempt more portraits in the future but i just wanted to thank you personally for your support and the words of encouragement..... :)

Hey C. Check out another FU. It's a sequel I'm afraid....

Thanks for the cheer

Hi Lady C!, was looking over Miss Kat's profile and came across a post from you about having trouble publishing, you said your screen froze? It happens to me, I found that sometimes when I have that problem if I click on anything on the page, say a pic, the screen prompt come up and asks if you want to do that while it is publishing, click on cancel, which will keep you still on the publishing, but for some reason it seems to help the programming come out of its freeze state, I may have to do it a couple of times but, it seems to work. I about died of panic though the first time I did it, cause I was afraid of loosing the pic, but at that point when it is stuck in publishing, you run that risk anyway. At least this way so far, I haven't lost anything, I did have that problem with the frame showing the publishing page but I eventually got that straight. Just make sure though you click on the right prompt, one is cancel and the other I can't remember for sure (been gone a few days...) But this may help. The other thing I did was download a program called REGCURE, it fixes computer path errors and signitures and startup paths and the likes, it helped a great deal with slowness, I was amazed how many errors there were. It cost I think 19.99 for the year, but I must confess it helped alot and the good thing is, anything you do in it can be reversed if necessary. You might check into it. hope it helps ya a bit.

Thanks for the cheer =D

Thanks for all your great comments and cheers. You're a major inspiration!

Drew? Did you say 'Drew'? I'm drawing him next! XD (You'll see...) By the way, this 'Oh! Gravity.' series is just a collection of drawings of the 5 band members from Switchfoot. :)

P.S. I apologize for rambling during my comments ... sometimes a picture will trigger a memory and I just go off like a rocket .... you're a good sport!

Thank you, dear Centaur, for your sweet words ... you are a good soul!

No sweat! I really enjoy our FU's. Life is full of FU's, you know. You can't laugh about most of them. But we can about these!

Thanx 4 yer cheers and comments! You are such a doll, would you please sign my petition about stolen artwork? I got my flower stolen and I am furious, I don't care if it was a 14 yr old kid, they are not babies and need to learn respect!

hey Centaur thanks very much for the cheers and comment :) Those are good tips btw

Hi Centaur, Many thanks for you cheers & comment. I love your work. Thanks also for the advice about saving the work (especially on the weekend)!

Thank you sooooooooo much for the lovely cheer and comment =D

thanks 4 the comments but i hope to get much better with the mouse because i dont know if i will get a tablet soon

:D It's nice to be aware that I know somebody with the patience to not be offended if I am slow or even do not reply. I know you said it wasn't necessary, but thanks very much for that! I LOVE making gifts for people that don't expect them, it's one of the best joys in life I think. :) I will definitely continue to support you in your art! :D You do a fabulous job! Well, I'm off to make another unlisted sketchfu! *dashes away*

u use a tablet i am stuck with a mouse :(
i dont know i still have a long way to go with my drawings

Thanks

Thanks for the lovely cheer =D

my drawing is no where near as good as urs though

hey thanks for the cheers
i drew that drawing 4 a friend that really likes shino

Er, it made me a little SAD, not just 'little'. Although that last typo make me FEEL quite little! XD

Thank you, thank you! :) I'm not sure if she's smiling or not. It made me a little to cover the lower half of her face with leaves, I wanted to draw that lipstick! XO

Oh noes! I am sorry it was having problems! Don't make me come out there and clean your PC up!

Hi Lady C, Just want to thank you for your cheers and comment on 'My white Tiger' :-}

thx for the cheers and comment. Glad you like the drawing.

Bonjour centaur,tout d'abbord je voudrais te dire que ton français est vraiment très bien.Je comprend très bien pour ce qui est des messages que l'on reçoit. Juste hier je crois que j'était rendu à 146 environ ooofff!!!! Un coup que l'on a finit de les lire et d'y répondre il ne nous reste pas beaucoup de temps pour dessiner...=)Merci pour dire que je suis une grande artiste c'est gentil et flatteur mais je trouve tellement qu'il y en a d'autre tellement meilleur. Au plaisir très chère amie... Linda alias Lily 2006 (Lys 2006);D

bella centaur thanks for the cheers but what's the name in english of the flower I draw, too lazy to open my dictionary

Thanks again for cheers =D

No worries! I know you must be absolutely SWAMPED with messages at all times x-x I think it's amazing that you manage to respond to so many, critique other works, AND pump out new (and incredible) art! 3 Cheers for Centaur on multitasking and productivity!! ^_^

^_^ Thank you so so soooooooooo much! I always look forward to hearing your opinion :) I can't thank you enough for all the support ^_^!!!

Hi girl,thanks for cheers and comments on my drawings. I always appreciate it ;)

He he! :D I'm delighted that's you're so interested in my characters! It's very rewarding for me! *happy dance* If you'd like there's a small (very slow) discussion of their story going on here: http://www.tawmis.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3547 I've gotten more of it worked out in the long wait for a replies, so things are going a bit smoother now. :) Brian, Julius and Nate are like the three stooges (with a few more brain cells) when they're together. Nigel however, is a very important character, more important than either Juli or Nate. He's hard to draw though, so he hasn't shown up on Sketchfu yet! ;) Also, thanks for liking my 'Fleur de Saison'! *hands you a voluminous bouquet of seasonal flowers*

thanks for ur cheers oh talented one! :)

Geesh....you better stop, I am going to get a big head! Thank you so much for your cheers and comments, they mean a bunch coming from such a talent as yourself.

What! *sputter* Look at your gallery! It's gorgeous! :O That being said, my day was a lot better yesterday. :) Thanks!

ok my dear one *G* Your gallery has been DONE! Well, for this late hour I hit all the drawings that were completely yours and some of the communal work as well. I have enjoyed my time here. Keep up the good work! :)

Hi there Lady C.., Thanks for the cheers and comments.. I always appreciate it.. :)

Thank you!

Thanks for the cheers and the comment Yes, I'm pleased with the hair but I've lost the face. More work required.

Thanks for the cheer and comment! :) Sorry I didn't draw anything original yesterday, it turned out pretty rotten and I was doing a commission in Photoshop. :( I will try harder today!

Hi centaur,thanks a lots for all your cheers and comments on my drawings

Thanks for your cheers and comment. I felt compelled to draw it on 9/11.

Thanks for all of your kind words.

Merci beaucoup ma chère amie pour tout ces cheers que tu as laissé sur mes dessins,c'est vraiment très gentil de ta part.C'est très apprécié venant de toi,puisque tu es une très grande artiste et j'aime beaucoup ce que tu fais...Au plaisir ma chère...If you need it I could translate it in english for you ;D

My Fair Lady was a musical that starred Julie Andrews on stage and the movie had Audrey Hepburn. One of the scenes is when they put Lizza on display for the first time as a LADY that can now speak upper class (she was a common flower girl in London). Everyone at the Horse Race wears black, white and gray tone clothing and usually very large hats with plumbs and feathers and baubles etc. It is a wonderful scene....maybe google it????

Heh heh, I adore him too! :3 He's one of my oldest (as in, first created. Technicaly, he's the youngest of all!) characters and he's gone through a lot of morphs. Still, my guaranteed favorite is Shelohn.

Yep, the crowd is getting bigger....my wish would be that the entire pic was filled with race enthusiasts....Hint, Hint Hint.

Whoops, I missed this. Thanks for the cheers and comment on Andy also! :D

Thanks so much! :D I deleted the first one because I misspelled 'Disney' on the credit sig. *laughs* I made an attempt at is so many times that I skipped the 's'! :O Have you ever seen Treasure Planet? It's really good, one of my Disney favorites. Maybe consider renting is sometime and see if you like it. :) Here's a clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--a7ipDlBUw The style is very unusual for Disney, some people hate that, but I think it's one of the reasons Treasure Planet seems so great to me. It's basically just 'Treasure Island' mixed up, a little more human and SciFi.

Thanks as always for your support!! I also used your scrren shot tips as i worked on my Pavarotti! I am so behind form the trip but I will get back here!! Looking forward to it!

your very welcome your a fantastic artist!!!

Thanks! :D I'm just a little wary of the pic myself, can't tell what to think of it yet. *g*

Hi Centaur,you know for the basket think about vegetables,fruits,toys,dolls,etc,etc ;).Thanks to you too for all the cheers and comments ;)

Also, thanks for the cheers and comment on Shino! Hope you don't mind if he plants a beetle on you, it's a habit for him to do that to everone now. XD

Thanks for the comment! Yeah, you are right, the background is too bright. That's me trying to make up for messing up the original 'cool blue' effect; it's more of a green-blue now. The Hobbits are elf-watching and as we all know, elves put off a strange glowy light (around Galadriel, this was simply known as the 'Gladdylight', a flourecnt tube held behind Cate.) But I didn't acchive the 'calmly lighted woods' effect that I wanted. Oh well, practice make not perfect, but close enough! ;D
