Also check out his link to Wally Wood's 22 Panels that Always Work... and btw I have always liked Donald more than Mickey.

Count me in, I'll even do your 2nd and 3rd place runner ups... always willing to help a fellow teacher, being a former one myself... the underpaid and overworked thing is NOT a myth.

I look forward to every new piece Graver, a true illustrator you is...

Oh please, real life money? I'd need a DNA sample and the whereabouts of their entire family before anything "real" exchanges... j/k

But I did hear of this service where you spend $20 online and get like 5 mil in influence on COX... and you can trade it back for 1 mil for $10, but I don't know how often.

Judge, you should really start a centralized thread for your work...that way, we can see all yer work in one spot versus a buncha lil threads all over. just a thought. ~

I don't believe that would be fair to the other fine artists on this board, and pretty much you can see all my work and more in my signature. But I appreciate the thought...

And again thanks everyone for the support, last night - American Paragon also offered to give me influence during the game, she was a player who heard me broadcast my problem minutes after it had happened. But by then the Amphitron was in the process of helping me... See this is what makes a community great, real support, real strength of character...

If it were up to me I'd change Sonic Sparkz name to Generic Thief- Not a Hero.

well then, give me back my influence!

Yes to be sure, and I'm reposting this here for posterity.

"Heroes of Virtue"

LJ

Just wanted to say thank you to these three kind souls who helped me, two from last night, and another after the annoying ordeal today, they are " True Heroes of Virtue".

This will be colored tomorrow...

I like the liberties you took with the weapons, great mood addative, and the fingers are great, all in all looking really good.

Thank you everyone for the kind offers, was definitely not asking for free influence, but I truly appreciate it. The first time someone gave me that I got this "I'm gonna cry" moment in my stomach about how cool this game really is...

And since then I make it a point to give out influence whenever I can to whomever I can, as the mood hits me.... it's just good game karma. And yeah Juggertha, I wish I had one, I may have to draw his remains from memory...

Thanks everyone, you guys make up for dorks like that.

So tonight I made an alt on Virtue called "Lady-Judgement", a broad sword regen scrapper with hopes of getting into Sisterhood of Paragonian Knights.

After the tutorial, I wanted to transfer some influence, so I asked a 5th lvl player named "Sonic Sparkz" for help. My antenna should have been up when he replied, "transfer what?". Little did I know this was his stupid act hoping to gain my confidence.

When he replied that, I answered back nvm, because I was sort of in a rush. Anyway he tells me to wait, and then says, "Influence? Sure, how much are we talking?".

I said, "400K, and you can have half, the other half for my alt."

So I switch out, and come back, and do the transfer, and come back as LJ, and he's gone. I immediately send him a tell asking where he went, something he probably wasn't expecting, like I wouldn't remember such an easy name, part of the reason I picked him, aduh.

Anyway were in Atlas right by Ms. Liberty and he tells me he's in Argosy Industrial, and I say could you please come back and finish the transfer, he says okay, I said invite me and the map reveals he's no where near Argosy, he's on the opposite end of the map. So for some reason he meets me half way, and I ask him to finish.

And he fades out right in front of me, after asking me to wait.

Now I have disconnected my share of times, and your toon just sits there when that happens, this guy shut down the game to obsconce with my influence! I did wait, in case he actually did dl, but after sending tell after tell, it was true, let the puns begin, Lady Jugdement made a bad judgement in trusting Sonic Sparkz!

So I reported him in game, and I told everyone in Broadcast on Virtue that he's a thief. Right now I am burning up with revenge plots, but I know that gets you nowhere!

Thing is the influence was not such a big deal, I have it to spare in an alt I use just for this purpose. But the fact that he thought he could and infact did get away with it, pisses me off to no end!

I wish I had the forethought to take a screenshot, all I can say is he was average height and build, mostly red, with those Captain America wings on his head, and darn I don't remember his origin or AT. I think he was a mutation scrapper.

Happily a very nice 50th lvl player (the Amphitron) helped me with a new transfer, and I plan on drawing him soon for his kindness.

Well that was my night, thanks for letting me vent.

LJ

Yes that would be for his crafting skill, "Butcher Shop Level 1"

It's been killing me that someone with the name "Thor's Assassin", looks neither like a viking nor an assassin... okay more so the latter, but being a closet D&D freak, here's my take on what if TA played World of Warcraft.

TA WOW

Basically what I meant, your sketchbook is perfect for hammering out any and all ideas that come to you. I don't suggest it for finished work, because those you should place in a portfolio seperate from your sketches. Yes you can take a sketch and finish, but you should get in the habit of seperating the two physically.

Also anything you can draw once, you should be able to do again. So for instance if you've worked on muscle groups in 1 sketch, faces in another, then putting that all down on some really quality paper (in another book or seperate pad or sheets) is what you want to work towards.

It's different with computers, you can always clean up a sketch and scan it, or viceversa with Photoshop, and then do your color finish digitally. But if I read you right, and you're just starting, you may want to work "old school" and keep 1 book for sketches, and another of finished quality pieces.

I guess I'm talking more in portfolio terms.

Hey whatever works, just something to think about is all...
