Basically you take screencaps of porn and you draw over it to make it all clean and something youd be proud to show mother. I was wondering if a thread like that already exists? I dont want to stomp on someone elses thunder.

I dont think so, and if it does its old, so you can legally remake it! yay!

Something went wrong....

I meant he shouldnt have gotten himself banned then. As I see it: He did something (and I dont know what he did) which landed him a ban. So if didnt want to have a ban, he should have thought about not doing stupid things (again, I do not know, or actually care, what he did).
Its like when someone is sent to jail for robbery and he says: "But I wanted to go to disneyworld....".
You cant join because youre banned, thats one of the ramifications of getting banned.

Note: this is how I see it, of course its up to the collab hoster to determine wether or not to let him join

Well, I supposed you can do everything over pm or mail, but having some form of direct contact is very handy, especially for brainstorming. Once youve figured out who is going to do what and how, it isnt really that important, but for the initial idea it is quite handy.
Timezones can be a bit difficult in this, but you could try and set a certain time to meet (morning for one evening for the other. If you consider your day consisting of 14 active hours (and you probably have more) there will always be two overlapping hours no matter the timezone difference.

Mine on the other hand is total rubbish.
Ive had it with this picture, so consider this "finished"
this can go straight to legolass list of "done, but could be improved"

Lol, true, but I think it would pep up things around here. ;]

Yeah, good Idea. I think it would work if the old thread just got locked after a final post by a mod stating "this thread was locked due to inactivity, Feel free to start a new similar thread" or something like that... So that if someone redirects poeple to the old thread, they will see that post.
As said before, I think three weeks of non active would be a good time.

I think a few artisits became that way after The Event, but I guess out of some form of error.

Well, I wasnt initially scouted by staff if I remember correctly... After The Event that is, I got scouted by another artist, non mod if I remember correctly. Only later did I become scouted by staff.

dares not put to test by pruning JQb and his 40 scouts :)

Its 31 really... Funny thing is, yesterday I lost and consecutively regained my scouting privileges within a single minute... (I kept my scouts, luckily)

I dont really think I match the description (yeah, well somewhat, but it isnt really spot-on).
According to my chinese horoscop, Im a Fire-rabbit which description really fits me spot on... so I think ill draw that then

Well, all my normal activities have started again, so Im left with not a whole lot of spare time....

Lmao unscouted again woot (@ReNae: not suggesting anything :) )

You know, now you mention that: I noticed I am scouted "by staff"... Is that some sort of new measure to prevent the whole tree from breaking down? and if so, would one care to elaborate on how it exactly works (or give a link to the forum in genereal/ wi/ht where it is probably mentioned already...)

I think it is seriously good business that you got scouted...
Who did that by the way?

Well, Ive only been here since late january, but I kind of agree.
There seem to be less constructive and more stupid threads in here. although Im glad weve gotten past that whole the never ending journey-phase.... that was lame!
I do have to add though, that I think we are currently in a lift after the low we had shortly after the introduction of the portal.
There seem to be more community based projects at the moment (ng calender, ng castle collab, grim collab, screw yourself collab, DOUBLES, etcetera....), And I have more than enough opportunity to post my artage...

also, I found it striking that I used to see you as a really cool guy. (back when I first started frequenting the forum, in january) But since your hiatus, you seem way less cool.... This could be due to the fact that I was new around here and the COWs, which you were hosting, were my first way to really get into the community... but it could still be you...

also: Im drunk, so take this post with a grain of salt,

also also: is this really an art thread? shouldnt this go in the lounge?

Oh yeah, you are one to talk

it stinks ( everybody knows that ) improve it ALOTH .. + i've added
2 other sword things to this collab & you'll never pass them so you
can try another lvl :p

Some nerver you have got there... I think I could pass yours with my eyes closed (come to think of it, I might even try that, nice challenge).
Also; I already said I was working on level 41 and I posted a wip which, incidentally, is already better than your drawing.

Are you really that sad that you need to disrespect other poeples work just to feel good about your own work?

Huh, not bad? we were totally king of the hill.... I mean we lost to the host, of course we lost to the host... thats the whole point of him being the host. And do you think it is a coincidence he got teamed up with the mod? wha!

He looks like he is pulling the sword behind him, because he is to weak to pick it up. (which I totally understand with a sword thats as tall as its bearer)

You see Kraig, you just need to paint happy trees

Well, as crazy as it sounds, I do think ben has touched the issue here.
What Bob does, is "lucky" painting, if you can call it that. He does not look at what the landscape actually looks like. He rather just puts on random details, that dont even have to make sense.
Its a bit hard explaining this but consider this:
It is hard for you as an artist to really distinguish where all the highlights and shadows and branches and stuff in trees should go (what with foreshortening, shadows of the leaves/branches, what more?), But for the viewer this is equally difficult.
In your painting not every detail has to make sense. A viewer will see that certain shadow, and will see it as a sign that there is a branch casting its shadow there... He doesnt actually have to see that branch.

Now I have never done anything like this, but I see this is how he works. and it gives quick result which lookes moderately okay. Now if you were to actually have some vision and maybe a reference I think you could make quite nice landscapes...

Anyone have a better suggestion for the blade thingy at the end of the nun-chuck thing he's got? I was thinking mace or something, but definitely don't like the one he has right now.

OOOh, I almost forgot about that jewel.
Id say just make it a straight blade

I am still learning foreshortening and I ordered a book on Amazon called An Atlas of Foreshortening which should arrive in a few days.

I think making his lower arm a bit fatter would help... its way to thin now
