Is the one falling male or female? Looks kind of male except they seem to have breasts...

Quote:Guess we just need to step up our game, broMy sentiments exactly. Though I can always say that BW snagged silver!
Ok, well, you actually already did (your Feb submission is better than Jan's, imo) so I guess I just have to step up mine...Like may actually finish it. heh... And campaign! Yeah, that's it! I think this month I may actually go out and beg for votes... I have no shame, I pawned it years ago to buy that blow up dol.... dollar. An inflatable dollar. Yeah, that's what I meant!!

New artz from Androsm from dA http://androsm.deviantart.com/ only this time it's of Daybreaker Alpha (Fenian in the works as well!)
I think this one is even cooler than the Caemgen piece he did. Part of it is the dynamic pose, the crushing of Crey (Alpha's person nemesis) and the bit of stylization there is to the piece but I personally have a hard time coming up with any word to describe this one besides "EPIC"
Larger version will be up on DA sometime tommorow... Haven't recieved the hi-res file yet but couldn't wait to share! -
I would like to thank all the members of the Academy who voted for me... This award means so much to...
Errr, what? I didn't win??
Not a single vote?!?
Well, congratulations Mr. Day. You put up an awesome battle this month and I can see why you managed to squeek out this win. Great job. Just don't expect me to make it so easy on you this month... -
No. If I was truly nice I wouldn't have needed to apologize... But I am willing to admit when I am wrong...
By the way, don't think I commented on your latest batch of arts yet but they are awesome as always. In particular Night Hornet and Xy... Err, however it's spelled. The Hornet piece does a great job of capturing the character while at the same time being dramatic and action filled. The Xy pic is particularly awesome because not only does it capture the nobleness of the character but it's also very nice to see you do such a clean piece. While I love the backgrounds you tend to do it is also nice to see something cleaner, purer of more focused on the pure art rather than on the drama of the pic... If that makes sense at all.

I already made one post apologizing for being rude last night and I think you deserve my second Scooter. While I stand by the basic premise of my comments above I should have attempted to express myself in a much calmer and nicer manner. I'm sorry if my tone comes off harshly but I still think you should consider the point I was trying to make...

Quote:Cae, I would totally get a commission.
I just can't. 17, no PayPal account or anything, and parents have already said no to commissions.
No need to get pissy at me, geezus.
My apologies. I had a few too many last night and was pissed off about some RL stuff and for some reason took it out on you. There was no call for that. You did nothing to deserve it.
You have every right to ask for whatever you choose and you did so politely. Your age, finances, etc have nothing to do with it. Everyone has a right to ask and you did so more politely than most do.
Furthermore, how many arts Cashoo may or may not choose to gift you with is none of my business at all and I had no call to be chiming in.
So once again, I am sorry. -
Or, after already having recieved a very generous gift, you could just man up and actually hire the gal if you wanted another...
But nahhhhhh, why pay someone as talented as Cashoo when you can just get back in line? -

Quote:If you are attacked then a dogged defense is of course understandable.
Approach determines response.
If, however, people are trying to be helpful, even if it is through criticism (which I thought was constructive but your opinion may vary) then a dogged defense is not dictated by that approach and rather at least some measure of appreciation and courtesy should be shown, even if it's not truly felt.
I have yet to see anyone attack you or your art... But your responses often come off as overly defensive if not actually "counter attacking"... It could very well be that you are just trying to explain why you did things the way you did and such as that but it seems as if you are offended, appaled and insulted.
Perhaps, if anyone bothers to offer up critiques or advice in the future, you'd be better off reading it, letting it sink in, and not allowing yourself to respond for a day or two. Even when they are not intended that way, critiques can sting and perhaps that is coloring the tone of your responses... Or you could just keep swinging back at any critique, no matter how mild, and eventually lose out on the valuable input being offered.

That is SO amusing!!
So basically we have an artist in favor of censorship. We have a guy who is railing against seeing female nudity in art but has no problem with openly using profanity, having "MurderCute, HappyRape" in his signature and who on their DeviantID has children, candy and tequila listed 1st, 2nd and 3rd... This is obviously a well balanced individual. -
Can we go back to picking on Canada now??
(though I do have to thank them for hockey... And the ballet...) -
LoL, that is great Juggy!! Specially like the Kleenex box
My only quibble would be that the room in the snapshot looks a bit more like a hotel room than someones actual bedroom but *shrug* that's really nitpicking and a personal opinion...
And hopefully nobody will try to claim this doesn't fit the theme, this is the epitomy of a home made pin up in my opinion... -
Quick initial response (may have more later...)
Should be "This is what it read." and not "reads." since the rest is in past tense.
Should be "For months she wandered..." not "wondered..."
Style/story wise:
A sense of place always helps... Where is she at the start? We know there is a monastary up in the mountains but that is it.
Why does she think this prophecy is her? What ashes did she arise from? Does she have a crown of fire or bright star??
Why did being among so many other gifted people did she decide to master her powers? Because they could aid her or because she could do so unnoticed/unconnected to the prophecy?
I know it can be tough to answer every question in the short space the in game bio allows (if this is for the in game bio) and there is nothing wrong with leaving some questions unanswered - Perhaps it is preferred if you are doing a bio for RP purposes. Still, the main changes even with that in mind that I would make would be to say that amongst so many gifted beings she felt she could master her powers unnoticed and to give some reason why she felt the prophecy pointed at her - Family died in a fire? Her city was ruined in a war? She has red hair and her power makes her hands glow? Some clue why it pointed to her...
But even with all that it is an interesting bio... -
Definitely seeing improvement in your art...
My main issue with this piece is that you shouldn't need to explain what someone is looking at, they should be able to see the story for themselves.
If one pauses to look at this whole piece I do think they can tell what the story is but at first glance it seems as if Miss Impossible is bringing the barrel down upon the little kid. I think the best way to tell this story in picture would be to have Miss Impossible in more of a blocking or deflecting pose in regards to the barrel rather than catching... Because this catching pose almost looks like a holding/bringing down on top the kids head pose...
As for the background, it may have been hurried but I think it works fine with this piece. Definitely better than none at all. I also like how it's almost out of focus but I think the Freakshow should have been more clear so he stood out, which while maybe not technically correct (he's in background so if it's blurry/out of focus so should he be) but it would help tell the story better since he'd be noticeable a lot quicker. -

I'm fearful my entry isn't going to qualify...
Still, not going to seek approval until it's finished. If I did and was told no I wouldn't bother finishing and I want to finish it!! Hopefully I can get it done in time to submit, get rejected, and throw together another pathetic scratching at the last minute....

Quote:Well, shouldn't we all (Europeans included) just become part of Africa then? Last I knew that was where the brainiacs said original man hailed from...I have a better idea...
As all americans aside of the Native American where original from Europe. And Canadians and South Americans the same. All come from Spain, Ireland, Portugal Italy, French etc.
It would be waay more handy to just have that whole continent become part of Europe and be done with it.
As for Canada, I will admit it's nice... But we Americans do tend to keep our backyards neat and tidy after all. -
Already replied on DA but I'll say it again, this came out great!!

That's really kind of funny because if I hadn't known this was digital I'd have assumed that it accidentally got wet... I had a pointilism project utterly destroyed that way once...
-
Gratz man.. So what's the new job? Same type as old, different field altogether, or what????
-
Yay for cool teachers!!
also liking the idea of publishing on flash paper... Ok, so it's not really practicle but would be hilarious if every time a kid opened this book there was a nice little puff of fire launched from the pages -
Note to self: Roxy not corrupted yet. Step up efforts!
