"Really nice.I miss it here, but i gave up on the lag. Come over to floatingingko sunsi, the tools are so muCh better and theres no lag in sight :P I think you'll love it, so get your arse there some time."
"Youve really improved since your first pieces over at youdraw sunny, i seen your piece you won a gingko award with at floatinggingko that was really nice :P Now ive finished my last pic i might draw something over there myself tomorrow!"
Good Morning Mr.Mcflubiam, well, afternoon to you. Saw your comment on my profile. I like it here too, actually, & I only draw at YD, on & off. I feel bad about the lag, so many experience - I get it every so often, but I mentioned to Torchie what works for me, is to have NO other programmes running at the same time (ie. msgr, email, etc. - nothing) and before I begin a draw I clean out my temp files, cache & sometimes do an ad-aware scan. Then I'm ready to go. If my comp has been running for a bit, I reboot & it's like a clean canvas. The one thing I've found, is when I'm ready to send a draw it will "wait" for sometime. I have to find patience then, and wait too. I do take a print screen just in case. Once I see the send 'bar' begin, then I know it should arrive safely. But, unlike you & so many other fantastic artists here, I don't have the artistic abilities to create the wonderful drawings you guys do, so this is almost enough for me (at the moment anyhow) In time, I may venture to see what Gingko is about, but not fussy on the other site. Never drew there, when so many talked about it on YD years ago. But if you venture elsewhere, do let me know so I can view your work there too...all joking aside, you must know I've always admired your work! ;-) smws gave a link to d/l a programme to eliminate the flash commercial problem & I did that on my work computer, which allows me to cheer & comment without the draw reloading numerous times, but I haven't done so at home in case it messes me up there. Older computer at home! So, W.W. that's my story, thanks for asking. Your patience, perseverance & moreso, your talent is very remarkable! Big decisions, eh? Life's like that, haha ;-D TTY-L8*ter
Hey man, I know how it feels like to loose a drawing you gave your time and effort, it sucks, I know but it happens. a thing you can do is to take a screen print before you click publish, well at least you can put it in your display image. but I adore that you redone it man, that proves your strong will and the patience (well the second is clear in the rest of your drawings).
Sorry to hear you lost your latest work. After viewing your diamond and your typewriter I feel that you should get the award for the most painstakingly meticulous work. I no way have that kind of patience. I can't even figure out how to do that straight line thing without eighty-sixing my work into oblivion.
flubs flubs *L* I always supported your art work!! From day 1 at Youdraw. There was only a teeny tiny lil period there w3hen you were copying everyones work, verbatim without asking anyones permission and it was getting upsetting to many and I agreed with them. I felt that it was flattering to have you WANT to copy somebodies work, cuz you have a VERY good eye and I understood that you just wanted to learn which was VERY admirable of you. But I really felt out of repsect to the artist you should have asked permission first, everyone would have been flattered, trust me, we have all been in awe of your tremendous talent since the beginning. And no, I am not being nice, that is my professional opinion. When I finally saw, here, how old you were, I almost fainted!!! Your skill level is SO high!
anyhow, that was the only thing and that was like 3 or 4 yrs ago or something and once you started asking permission no one was upset any more. I would not call call you Flubbs if I didn't afore you *G*
Nor put up with jezebel either, tho I admit that cracks me up!
I have been trying to draw your icon, thats why i asked if it was really you but my pen died and no way i can pull it off with the frikkin mouse!
anyhow..a big hug you fool! *L*
Hmmm...I was thanking you for the cheers you absentmindedly left me? haha. As for where I am...I'm central Cda. The province of ON. I'm guessing your friends might be Quebecers if they root for the habs? Our hockey team is the Maple Leafs! Go Leafs Go! haha...even though I'm not much for hockey unless it's a live, not televised game! Much rather go to a concert or live theatre. ;-) Ciao, L8*
well remembered - I've already put it on! It took me ages to find it - that'a one of the main reasons for setting the tutorial page up. At least we will be able to find them when we want them. I'll put some more info about the competition on the Comp page.
Thanx for the add, flubbles ... I added you, also :) Hey, here's a good one ... the old fart who just chopped down his tree? He was out raking his now-bare yard and got woozy in the hot Florida sun, so he walks across the street and sits down in the shade of OUR tree! How's that for nerve?!
Weel you have impressed me that's for sure!!! there are many fine artworks on here...but i can't think of an that can match what you have achieved here. and regards your simile.....if you have the same attention to detail....someone out there is VERY lucky ! lol :P
i have been watching your progress with your latest work :) you sure don't back down from a challenge do you! I cant wait to see this finished!!!! ( lag lag go away)
Now that, I'd pay to see! If the old lady came out and saw a big ol' steaming pile of poop on her immaculate driveway, she'd probably have a heart attack! .....HEY!.... naw, I'd better not .... ;D
You are absolutely right, flubbles! My insane neighbors are having their tree whacked for a mere $2,000 ... no doubt the tree rapists are planning on selling the wood and will make a tidy profit on that, too. I hope when I'm that old, I don't stop giving a rat's ass about the world around me! Cheers ;)
I think I commented just before you deleted your WIP..hehe, I'm quick is right! I'm sure that drawing is going to be out of this world from what you've done of it so far. I'm glad I had a chance to peek at it. Have a nice week Flubbles.
Hmmmmmm...just now saw your reply. I was looking for it on my profile *L*
Well you are a cutie. *S* Not the 2 headed monster I had imagined at all *laffs..jes kidding!
I smoked all my life. I would rather see you get off of the cigs first then the weed because ppl smoke less of that meaning less smoke in your lungs *L* About 10 yrs ago i cut down to 4-5 a day. Then 2 yrs ago this month I quit completely. I got sick for 3 weeks could not smoke even tho i tried. Then at the end i thought..hmmm...i made it 3wks without trying lets try for one week and see how it goes...then it was a month and I thought...hmmmmmmm...i would be a real dumbass to start again when i have made it a month. So I found a kind of chocolate that I liked a lot and bought tons of it and there ya go. I have only gained..uh...er...10 lbs? *L* But I'll lose that eventually, I never change size. So..keep trying to cut down!!
Happy Monday to ya! I wanted to thank you for all the lovely cheers and taking the time to look at my work, ty. Oh yah and thanks for having me, I've added you as well.
Yea its me...and you should lecture me i need to quit because of my throat lol its still not right and doc reckon's its because of my smoking ive got a build up of catarrh :o0
I'm back FlubA Dub and i know that you missed me *L*
How is YOUR back doing?
I am dying without my Wacom, I got way too spoiled!!!
I cannot believe you did marbles *L* I have a whole bunch of pics of them in a file all ready for me to do here *G* Now no need, yours are probably better!!
Awww, Flubs, sorry you're hurting too! I see the pain my hubby's is in with his back & I feel for anyone with back problems or injuries. Hope you'll be feeling better very soon. take it easy, don't rush it! BTW, love your profile pic, you've got amazing dimples! Nice to actually "see" you.
You're welcome !
I watched more of your drawings here and I got to tell you do a great job and really master these sketchfu tools. Do you also use "real" media, i mean acrylics, oil, pastel, pencils... (I guess you do.) Have you got a deviantart account or flickr or whatever ?
Oh I forgot, yes, my friend ohdell is a dang "moustachu".
You KNOW how good you are Flubs my lil friend! I might teach it, meaning I have a good eye, but doing it, eye to hand coordination and seeing your own mistakes is LOTS harder. From your fortune cookies to your portraits...it's all good!!
Hi Flubs! Not old age... I am certain of that... more my lack of talent..., I drew a lot of horses, actually my first work in years and first attempts at digital art. I was really terrible, just getting started. Through the friendship and encouragement of quite a few of the artists there... I have been able to improve a little. I work in real mediums at home... mostly equine art. You are a very talented young man. Please know that my comments and cheers are sincere and I am appreciative for the opportunity to learn from others! Keep that amazing art coming!
Have I thanked you yet? Can't remember with all the lag I've had, but anyhow thanks for the cheers and comments! Btw...guess who I'm listening to these days? hehe. Landon Pigg... know of him? L8*
Hi Flub! Let me just say... you are deserving of every cheer and more! You are a fabulous artist! I think you inspired me to work on my avatar.... I do real horse pics, in real mediums, your edition was so much better than excellent, it was inspiring! I love the photo and actually bought materials to do that pic, after seeing how beautiful it looks when rendered artisrically... I am ready to go! Thanks so much!
Just saw your message below, we answer on each others profiles here. It kinda sucks but that's how it is for now *L*
And, I have been on the warpath, here and at YD. I just reached my snapping point and decided it was time to stop taking crap off of people. So I have *L* I dont like controversy and HATE having to be a Drama Queen to get something HEARD but sometimes that squeaky wheel NEEDS to squeak!
Hope you are feeling better. we all wondered what happened to you last year. You might just have that nasty thing going around the UK, all my UK friends have been getting sick with it.
i doubt youknow me at all Flubbles but i have been admiring your work. hope you dont mind me adding you as a friend but it makes it so much easier to view new additions :) (which i hope will be coming fast and frequently)
Yea its great jezabel keeps me out of trouble, this time last year i was drinking to much and partying to hard lol i made myself ill im still not 100% yet, ive had my tonsils out aswell and my throat's not healed up propely yet...anyway im off bed it 7.30am :P Is it possible to pull a muscle in your chest coughing? every time i breath my chest hurts, your a teacher your supposed to know these things lol
Geez Flubs!!! Your wardrobe of icons is bigger than the amount of clothes in my closet *L* You have some cute ones I admit. Speaking of your mime that is there now but probably gone by the time anyone reads this, I drew Marcel marceau here when he died, but was leaving for vacation and had to throw it down too fast. I still like it tho.
I am aobut 2 weeks behind in comments for everyone. Since I am here now I will do yours. Thanks for the nice comment on the pattern, I let you a reply there. I forget to leave replies on profiles! I can see by the thumbs i have missed some gorgeous work of yours. Do you like it here so far?
Stop chatting me up late im blushing! dont mention it late i like to encourage people as much as i can, it doeasn't cost anything to be nice now and again :P Is that a new perfume your wearing? it smell's like a pink rose in the fresh early morning dew.
I was thinking it would be cool job to do custom painting like they do on biker build off, i can turn my hand at most thing's i'd even like to design the motor bikes lol I deleted donald completely i logged off, i might do it another day if i get the will to draw again, todays been a nightmare..first of all my draw got deleted earlier, and now ive started drawing a sky reflecting on to water and its quite tricky to do because i chose a pretty detailed sky and its not easy to create sky's with out a paint brush lol anyway im off bed for a few hour's its 7.20 am :P
flubbles, around here all summer there are nothing but car shows, and to see a car like the one I did is so common, there are some real beauties. I always wanted to do custom paint, never had the oportunity to learn airbrush though. (got a tablet instead, lol it's my next purchase) The other thing that really has me interested in is custom helmets for dirtbike/motocross, I have seen some really sic helmets and I think I'd be good at it. btw, if you deleted you can still publish donald when he is finshed it would be funny!
I think your getting to in to it starshine, i was only gonna change the face and make the feather's a tinge of ginger lol Im regretting deleting it now i could have finished it today!
lol, donald with the half a head comb over! it would be hilarious! but it has to be windy where the helmet comb over is just half up and half down! and hardly any feathers left on his wings, just floating feathers everywhere, oh yes I can picture it! too funny.
hmmmm lol, that was not female gun jumping!, that was glancing too fast! boy try to give a compliment and get a typical male chuavinist response! talk about gun jumping! lol. all kidding aside, I don't even know who cliff richards is! lol. great now I have to google him, see what you did. I know who keith richard is...but cliff??? doesn't ring a bell! :P
Flubbles, my man, thanks so much for your cheers and comments! means alot from one so talented! like you new avatar zeppelin I presume? haven't clicked on it yet, but from the thumnail it appears as though it may be them. one of my favs. take care and keep the masterpieces rollin... :P terry
Hello flubbles :) ty for the cheers, and thanks to be my friend ;) I never saw your work and it is awesome !! i think i will take a moment soon to watch all those !
Hi flubbles....thanks for adding me....I remember you from the "YouDraw" website.....it's great to see you here at "sketchfu"! Your artwork is "awesome"!!
Hi! I am thrilled to have you as a new friend! Your art is impressive and you have been to so many of my friends profiles, wonderful, funny and sweet comments! I particularly like your nude, but I see that all of your work is definitely worth looking at! Thanks!
Oh...nvm. Couldn't wait for your answer so I figured it out - haha. I just made a slight change & reposted. Yay. ;-) Some kind of lag was haunting me I guess.
Hi flubiam. Cheers for the cheers & comments! Very appreciated. I see you had one of those making preview thumbs too...how did you repost? I tried deleting & bringing it back but that didn't work. hehe...ugly thing that is. Suggestions? L8*
No masterpieces yet but i'll let my foot of the gas one of these days and do something a bit special :P Not been great ive had my tonsil's out and ive not been right since im getting there though i dont feel that bad, how are you sue? ive not been youdraw for ages ive popped there a few times to check a few galleries but not drawn anything , anyway this is the new youdraw in colour so why would i want to? lol x
Hey Flubs, been a long time! How've ya been? Still creating masterpieces, I see. Will have to check out your gallery! do you still stop in YD? I do from time to time, but having this much space is hard to leave for too long....great seeing you, will watch for you from now on......-sue (gracie)
Ok...*hugs* You are forgiven...I am easy *L*
Thanks for the real compliment on my profile!
It is nice hearing it. I might appear to be good, but it seems such a struggle sometimes, i wonder, Flubs, to be honest. But it is what I do, the only thing I love completely so..guess i will bumble on *L*
Well flubs! You are the only person I know that can make a compliment sound like an insult *L* Thanks, I think!
It is not a case that *I* still have it, I have ALWAYS had it, I simply don't enjoy it! Photorealism, while it garners votes is not as much fun for me as bears and patterns. I draw to relax. :)
I however am trying to put together an online portfolio so figure realism is more "impressive" so I guess I will be taking that rack for a whilenow even tho it might kill me! I spend 6 hours a week every week critiquing others hyper realism and to be frank, after 18 yrs of that, am a bit tired of "looking and comparing". *L* i just wanna DRAW...and have fun!
Signed....
The old dog *rolls my eyes and laffs*
I started a draw but set myself to much of a task, i cant draw anything until i get my new leather computer chair my backs killing from when i did a fosbury flop over backwards the other day and broke my old computer chair...so im chilling out watching tv with a beer or a southern comfort and lemonade, or both as the case may be lol good look with your draw's i'll take a look later :P
Comments for flubbles
