Hi! I believe we've already made acquaintances, but... HI! 8D LOL! Seriously, welcome to teh forums. :3

*is very embarassed* O////O C'mon, it's not like I draw anything perverted! Besides, this is only a SAMPLE. At some point I go back and add clothes and stuff. I could upload the model of Vanilla before she had on a skirt and top. It's just my way of having a base model that I can tweak or add-on to. Besides, it represents a higher degree of freedom and a more personal attachment to the natural world, which most furries are all for.

I understand that some of you wanted to see some of my art before you allow me to do a commission for you... which I would be very thankful for Anyway, here is a link to my CF gallery. It has some old, some new, and some yet-to-come. Click here to see my artwork Thank you! Also, if you want to see my most recent work, check out my new avatar. This would run under the category of a detailed color with a background.

*is relieved* If you want an example of my artwork, look at my new avatar on my profile. It's only 30% the size of the original, and is still a rough copy.

for a few hundred smackers' date=' then yes. [/quote'] * starts saving up * In all seriousness, no way. Not only would that be a HUGE pain to work with on a laptop screen, but the amount of disc space that thing would take up is ridiculous. The biggest I'm willing to go is 22 inches.

for a few hundred smackers, then yes.

Soon. I have to clean out my photobucket and either update my CF gallery or create a new DA account X___X I created Carson's current avatar, as well as my own. I'll have a lot more to see soon.

I now have one commission slot filled, meaning I only have one more available. So if you want a commission, feel free to PM. ~~~Commission Rates~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *all commissions will be on a 1080x720 canvas unless otherwise specified.

Welcome to teh forums :3

Hehe, sounds interesting. Alright, I'll give it a try. Two words: "Contemplative" ~and~ "Introspective" Hope this is what you need.

How do I post an image straight from my computer without having to add it to my Photobucket? > _

That's the problem with DS in general. No core titles. I suggest getting an R4 ultra card if you don't have something similar. I dunno if it'll work for the 3DS, but my little cousin has one and he has about 1000 DS games downloaded for FREE to the card. So basically, spend $40 on an R4 ultra, and get as many games as you want for FREE. I admit, he had a pretty good selection too... even though he only seems to play the bad games. I don't do handhelds anymore. I still have my DS, but I sold the games I had, so now it just sits in my dresser. If I could get a triwing screwdriver, I'd fix the messed up shoulder buttons and sell it. If you want some good OLDER titles, get Phantom Hourglass, FFTA2, Metroid: Hunters (I'm sure you own this one already), and SolaToRobo. Ocarina of Time 3D should be awesome, too.

You need to be more relaxed when you draw Since you now have a tablet and GIMP, you can use layers. There are many websites that'll give you the basics. Esentially, you need three layers to create a basic lineart drawing; the background, which you would set to "white", and 2 transparent layers. You can label them whatever, but I prefer to call them "base sketch" and "lineart". Layer them in the following order: On top should be "lineart", then "base sketch", then your background. If you want, you can add the lineart layer later after you have completed your base sketch and background. Now, here is where you can relax. Take your tablet, and on GIMP select a light shade of a color. Personally, I prefer to use blue "ink" for this. You can apply as much or little pressure as you like, but loosely sketch a crude gesture drawing of whatever it is you have in mind. Don't worry if anything isn't symmetrical or just right, because you can easily fix this. You can also set the back of your pen to the eraser. After you have drawn it out, take your time refining it, making certain details more bold and pronounced, and making it look like what you want it to be. After you feel comfortable with the sketch, either create or click on the lineart layer. You have two options: you can either draw over your sketch by hand, or you can use path and trace tools. Each has advantages and trade-offs. Hand drawing gives your drawing a signature "you" look, but can be frustrating if you're not getting desired results. Path and trace is VERY precise and much easier, but it makes all of your lines the same hardness and consistency (unless you want that) and you don't really improve your drawing skills this way. I use both my hands and paths. When you are finished drawing your lineart, you can either delete or "turn off" your sketch layer by clicking on the eye symbol in the layers toolbox (if you don't know how to get to this, then click on windows>dockable dialogues>layers or press ctrl+L). You should now have a clean lineart drawing on a plain white background. You can leave it as is, or add another layer and title it "paint". Make it transparent and put it BEHIND your lineart. Click on the paint layer, select a color, and scribble on your drawing. If the paint is over your lineart, then you either selected the wrong layer or your layers are not stacked correctly. If it is behind the lines, you're doing it right. Now you can paint behind your lineart without having to worry about making mistakes and erasing a LOT of hard work. Trust me, I've done that before... it sucks. This necessarily won't make you a BETTER artist... only time and practice can do that. If you have not been following these steps on GIMP, they will make digital art a lot less tedious and MUCH easier with fewer mistakes. If you really want to know how to get better, then look at other artists' works, study HOW they made a line or shape, then try to emulate it until you're happy with the results. That's how I became a decent furry artist. I couldn't draw anthro to save my life, so I copied a few pics from FA, cut out the "nasty" stuff if there was any, and studied hands, faces, etc, until I was pleased with my results. Get some other artists stuff and study it. That is some of the best advice I can give you. Oh, and don't get frustrated... you'll get better

SOLATOROBO!! 8O

That picture will only look 3D on a 3D television or monitor. I'm sure there are tutorials/programs out there, but I don't know any.

How can one donate a raffle prize? If it's no trouble, I'll do a commission of the winner's fursona.

Dude, your artwork is amazing, and that's 2 years old! I'd LOVE to see some of your new stuff!

Welcome to teh forums :3 As for theological discussion, I'd suggest the the General sub forum under Christianity.

I'm sure it's not compatible, but I use Microsoft Security Essentials. It's 100% free, updates frequently, and IMO works better than Norton.
