Miscellaneous

[center]When you look back at your older works and go "Wow... did I REALLY draw like that back then?"

On a side note: I wasn't trying to turn this into a discussion of what is Right and what is Wrong. I was just merely going on a rant about the Rules of a Group on DA. More specifically the "You cannot change your characters without the permission of a moderator." one.

I bring this up because I was browsing through my old Gallery on DeviantArt and talking with my friend about things that some people were saying. Apparently in a group that she is in, she brought up the topic of referencing from a Doll. And the people in said group went on to say that "it is only copying and what not"... which made me roll my eyes.

An artist, in any form of the world will admit that they reference things. I reference for poses, in my picture of Leandros I referenced for his pose and for the many skulls that adore his features. In art class my teacher told me to bring things in to REFERENCE from and draw them as we see them. If referencing was 'copying' then why would art classes use real life naked models and have you draw from them? And then it is stated that you need permission from a moderator to CHANGE YOUR OWN CHARACTER! I'm sorry but...
1) It's my character
2) I don't need your fucking permission to change it...
3) It's MY Character!

!

*COUGHS*

Anyway off of that subject... I would like to share with you all... how much I have evolved in my artwork over the years. This involves the evolution of my character and persona Shadow at first, before 'she' changed.

2004
Very first picture of Shadow EVER... way back in 2004. Jesus did I actually draw like that? Boy I sure did... no sense of anatomy...

The small deer trundled through the forest, unaware of anything besides his own discomfort, and the giant rock that awaited him. His sister was not present, and she was worrying him. If he could not find her soon, it would not be fun for any of them, sadly.

"Where in the blazes has that wretched deer gone to?" Standing on the grassy knoll overlooking where his stone sat to make him endure torment for another thousand years. He swallowed. He got a yearly break every thousand years, but it helped him very little. The gods could not forgive him the way they could anyone else. He was too cruel, too shame-filled. He could not let go, and yet fought against himself. He trotted onward, unaware of everything else.

Wanna rp anyone?

Deer to choose:

Cyperus:Cyperus was sitting alone under a rock on the playground. he sat wit closed eyes just listning to the sounds in the forest, when he suddenly heard something....

Zeus:Zeus was sitting in a flower pad, alone. he sighed calmly. he heard a branch crack behind him and he raised up ''who's there'' he said..

Absalon:Absalon was standig by the pond, drinking. he turned arond ''hello there i'm Absalon'' he said bowing to you..

just boys right now

I was wondering because so many people draw things um how do you draw it? Like what program do you use to draw? I'm talking about like pictures where you draw with your mouse and yea...So if anyone would tell me I would greatly appreicate it thanks =)

I've been trying to post a couple of my drawings but it isn't working. I followed directions I went to Picture and put the URL between [img] and [/img] but they aren't showing up. What am I doing wrong?

The first to comment this get's a drawing

heh ^^

When you choose to play with a genderless avatar, it shows up as a pink sphere on your screen. Judging by other deer's reactions, this isn't how it appears in other games. What does it look like to everyone else?

Okay, I'm getting really flustered with stupid CSS. I can do sections, but it isn't actually converting it into readable CSS here. The page never changes and shows the CSS. If you can just show me what I'm doing wrong with it?

It's Alphafrost, using a new account. I'm sorry, I had to use the Username... Usernames. Don't hate me please? x)

But anyway, introducing a new deer to the forest, Malkyan. Yes, it's a made-up name. =P. I'll get the bio and whatnot under way, but he'll be pretty plain until I write something musing-ish about him in the poems section. Feel free to write me a poem for him, so I can base him on something. Thanks, guys.
