If art were to remain my profession by the time im a wizened old man, it would be kind of sad not to have reached some level of recognition.

you should claim compensation or something!
I mean, after all, you sign a license when you post something to the art portal!

That's pretty cool
Though I hope he got it as a symbol for something instead of just getting it cause it looks cool. Having something permanently scarred onto your body should have some reason behind it.

I have my own meaning, i hope he found his, even though it's probably not the same. I like it when you can insert your own meaning and idea's into an imagine. that way, you kind of feel it's become a part of yourself. which i think is important if your gonna tattoo something on you

That's pretty awesome that he got it tattoo'd. If anything, you should send him a certificate of authenticity, proving that it is one of your pieces XD

I've heard of people selling their tatoos so you can't be sure that he wont. Someone made someone else's skin into a wall decoration cos it was all tatooed, I saw it on tv.

Um......Gumby, I have some really bad news
see, I don't know how to put this to you delicately. So here goes

Life, is a journey. A long drawn out time of experiences. And death, is apart of life. Some think it is the end but I do not, I feel that it is just another step in the crucible of being. So please remember that you have friends here and we are willing to console you in these unforgiving times. None of us will think of you as less of a man for shading tears over your loss. So let it out man, we know it's hard.
I am truly sorry for your Loss

I had to, I just had to....

No!
NOOOO!!!

What will I do now?!
My life has no meaning without him!!
AAHHHHGGRR!!!!!

I think Ima go cut mysself now ...

Moving on, I found a dusty only cardboard on my desk after I cleaned it up, and I wondered what to do with it.
Then suddenly, from the great clouds in the sky, flew a giant creature.
Once it was closer, I realised it was one of the mysterious cloud eaters.
"H-hello" I couldnt see anything but the silhouette of this magnicifent creature.
"Greatings my fine sir" said the mighty cloud eater "My name is CloudEater, and I have been sent from the great heavens to tell you how to act"
I was stunned by the power of his voice.
"A-act?" I managed to stammer out.
"Act when the holy cardboard is revealed!"
"O-oh, y-you mean t-t-this?" I showed him the cardboard I had recently discovered. "T-this is just some dusty old cardboard that I found on my desk"
CloudEater boiled with rage
"JUST A CARDBOARD?! Never! I say NEVER! Underestimate the great powers of the cardboard!"
His powerful voince shook the whole building.
"B-but oh mighty CloudEater, what should I do with it?"
CloudEater settled down and started explaining to me:
"cut out two hole's of equal size and distance from the edges,
then paint it really messily but whilst pretending that your doing it heaps good,
then paint the outline of some weird person in black or a dark colour,
then use some thing else to shade him but without revealing his features too much"
I carefully wrote down the instructions as he talked.
"oh and use the hole's as eye's and put red or white led's through the hole"

Okay, that might not be exacly what happened, but it's close ...

The majority appears to be Flash-drawn. Their website had videos of Dan drawing/animating the graphics in Flash.

I let them think of a price, that's okay, right?

The Art Request Thread does work, the only problem is no one understands that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Not in that thread, it's not like a "I'll make you a sig..." thread.

There are very few of us who really have the time to just do a request out of kindness. Want a really nice sig/header/userpic? Offer up like 10 bucks, I bet you get a few people willing to make you something.

Well, all I really needed was an A4 poster design for my college folder. It's nothing that money can be made from. Is it okay to state that they decide a price instead of just saying "10 bucks"? I got PayPal, ect;

Damn, I Have been out of it for a few days.
I mean damn I have hardly even been posting lately.
I think I'll join the COW this time, but it is much too early to tell.

For some reason I really want to do a cthulhu picture lately. Parhaps I'll get one done tomorrow.

It's in the slowlane at the moment as right now my priority is the level we're working on, which should explain my lack of activity 'round these parts.
Deadline's on friday, so...

I did finish writing my entry to kick it off, still need to go through editing it and stuff though.

That's still wishy washy. It's your request, you should say how much you're willing to pay for it. I know I personally hate it when someone offers up a commission and just says "pay negotiable".

And just to reiterate my point that the Request thread will work if people offer money. I just went through the thread and there are only 2 requests in the whole thread that offer pay, and specifically say how much they will be paying. Personally, those are the only 2 requests I would seriously consider taking.

There are a small handful that do offer a reward, but it's usually a split of whatever ad revenue their project could possibly accumulate. Nobody will take this as payment. That's payment that depends on others to click their ads, depends on the requester to actually finish his project, and on top of that ad revenue is beans. You'll get paid next to nothing over the course of a month or so.

none of the requests get done because no one ever offers a suitable payment

Look at my art!

Well on the subject of the Request Thread, we've decided that it needs revamped. We're working on a template for a new Request thread that will be strictly enforced, and wanted to run it by you guys to see if you had any suggestions.

We'll be reinforcing Kraigs original format for requests. If you want to make a request, then make a very detailed blog post about it, and then make a post in the thread that gives a short summary of what you want and link to your blog post. Then any further questions or inquiries about the request will be handled on the users blog.

Format for the blog post will be:
- Specific details about what you want.
- The time frame that you're working with
- Specifics on how you will pay (paypal, check, etc)
- Any sketches/images that you have to give a basic idea of what you want (highly recommended)
- Whether or not ad revenue is negotiable if it applies

Format for thread post will be:
- Type of request (flash game/movie, art commisions, logo design, etc)
- Short summary of what you want (try and keep it under 3-4 sentences)
- How much you are paying (required)
- Link to blog post

Requirements:
- Requests MUST have monetary incentive, if you're not paying cash then no one is going to do it anyway.
- Must follow template, anything that doesn't follow the template will just be deleted.
- If you're requesting help about a game/movie then it is highly recommended you have done movies/games in the past to show you are reliable and will actually finish your project. This will also give the artist an idea what to expect from your final product.

No Nos:
- Ad Revenue is not a suitable form of payment. There are too many factors involved that could lead to the artist not getting paid, or getting under payed for their work. It can be negotiated for the artist to get a cut of the revenue, but can't be main form of payment.
- Saying that the artist will be credited somewhere is also not a suitable form of payment. Giving the artist credit for their work is expected, not a reward.
- No discussion in the thread, all discussion stays in the blog post for the specific request.

I think that's everything. If anybody has anything that they think should be revised/added then speak up.


Look at my art!

I think this is a great idea. It keeps everything even more organized, requests are more likely to be made, and everyone will come out happy.

OMGZORZ!!!!

I was disconnected from the internet for 2 weeks by Verizon (who need some serious help in the customer relations deparment) for NO REASON at ALL and it's been HELL trying to get them to reconnect it.

So... I need to play catch-up with everything. But fear not; I am on it.

I apologize to anyone who's been waiting on me for something. =[

I feel your pain dude, same thing, well similar thing happened to me last year, switched internet from aol (finally) and was gonna get verizon, but verizon sucks so we canceled that and got comcast.
But for some god forsaken reason they didn't cancel out internet, and had comcast and verizon (that doesn't work by the way) so for about 2 or 3 weeks we called verizon everyday to have them cancel it, being told several times that it shouldn't make a difference. Even though it did.
Verizon is balls and so is there costumer service.

Hooray for me...? I had planned to have some art uploaded and hopefully be scouted by now and have my animation complete but looks like I completely failed. The days just went by way too quickly.
