Pretty sure nested layers were around before cs, but ah well....just wondering what they were and what I was missing :) and liquid soap?

the faint likework on the iron fence is smooth :) I assume you used layers though to circumvent the tedious process of hiding the bars behind the tree?

I have one, who invented liquid soap and why? Oh and can you spell out the advantages of nested layers, as that is a feature that corel photopaint doesn't support in my version. (Yeah I know I could find that easily, but I had to justify my liquid soap question).

lol true. The lesson...if you want to run for vice president, earn lots of money. If you want to run for president...inherit!

Saying that his attendance record is bad in no way excuses other bad attendance records. However, his actual attendance figures, which were stated, are NOT opinions. Those are truthfully stated facts. the point about not meeting, was quite effective but was definitely a lie. (still...I was sitting there yelling to the wifey in the other room 'ooohhh cheney just took edwards to the wood shed! " The real shocker was the list of figures of attendance, but what drew attention to it was the personal whoopin. Now what we really need to find out was how often kerry and edwards were there for the PAY RAISE votes. Oh wait, who are we fooling, Edwards is worth over 50 mil and kerry (or his wife) is worth one billion.

hehe well it IS the media board ya know. But i like the debate too :) Nice pic on that blah blah blah one. er Oergg...welstone..that was only like years ago! lol (thought I am sure still within the limitations :) ) As to cheneys major point it was NOT a lie. The device he used to drive it home WAS a lie (not having met him). But the attendance record is self explanatory and frankly pathetic. Any real worker would be fired with that kind of attendance.

Keiphus, because it is not funny to put a big picture of either of them and a serious statement. I am doing this for a laugh. If I were to do a pro bush one it would be pro ss privatization. But then...who would look at that? As to the data..er...this is SIGGIES. But hey, keeps it bumped. Post on :) And as to making sense...come on....the guy has his head between his legs and is wearing his famous bunny suit....what is their to understand? Anyway, the point is kerry looked like a mentally challeged guy in the pics. The other one...finger in the wind...ie...changes views according to polls. hand in pocket...raises taxes...not tough stuff here guys. It is a joke. Moreover I am not sure he is better educated, they both went to rich fat cat schools. Kerry won the debate, fair enough. Perhaps you meant he is smarter, not better educated. In any case,Bush is not dumb politically. He got through EVERY MAJOR PROMISE he made on the campaign trail last time. Not many politicians do that. 1. Education bill 2 Senior drug benefit 3. tax reductions 4. faith based initiatives (ok, executive order, but hey) of those I liked..er..one of them lol. and he fought the war on terrorism. However I do like his views on ss reform, and the war, etc. I don't like kerry's views on much of anything.

only one anti bush one? that the best ya got? lol

hehe, check the whole array of bush/chimp comparisons over on the off topcic board :)

the bottom one would be nice if it were in limits :)

Seeing Keiphus' sig I thought I would get in the action a bit. Post your political siggies! right, left, center, greens, communists, libertarians, independents, soccer mom's, facists, all sigs welcome! Anyone is welcome to use these sigs :)

I kind of like the montage of animations the best. Some nice modeling ;) And nice job! looks like your on your way!

Interesting sig there Kiephus, sure it shouldn't be.... John Kerry, the evil of two lessers..... Made a little siggy version for any who are interested... Anyway, I like the freehanders. Guess it is my bias. The pixel sig craze has finally brought them to the forefront.

I hardly think, the colors are the issue. The issue is that it is not armor but skin tight flexible material that looks like tights. The armor in the conan series is analogous to near eastern and far eastern armor types in our own world And it is a bit fuzzy that it was a different world. While there are various maps of conan's world which portray a different realm we also have the reference to mythical events in this world...ie..the conan intro which mentions the oceans drinking ATLANTIS. The fact that Conan hails from cimmeria in the north hardly would mean that all of the people there would wear northern armor. In fact, they seem to wear eastern armor as earlier noted. Which we would expect if he is in the east. You may see a map of the conan world here. http://home.thezone.net/~jgillard/World.htm To even the casual observer it should be obvious that the geography is quite similar to that of the middle east with two inlets and a peninsula in the south east, similar to the red see and and the Persian gulf, with the sinai peninsula in the middle. You have a large body of water near where the caspian sea would be. And a western ocean, similar to references in the ancient near east to the mediteranian. You also have the area near cimmeria looking a lot like asia minor. Hence Conan could come from among the migrant sea people's populations which spawned such near eastern fighters as the philistines. Or if you take it as a REALLY badly drawn map as the larger black and white version indicates, he could come from near the steppes of what would be Russia. (let us not forget the time period this was written in . Robert E. Howard lived from 1906-1936 before committing suicide. This would mean he was writing mostly in the aftermath of the first world war. The bolshevik revolution occurred in 1917. This tall, gruff, stoic guy could be a reflection of some of the peoples from that region in the time period more than an ideal of ancient mythology.) Need I mention that the place where africa would be has the "black kingdoms" and a place called kush. And there is a prominant heading of Iranistan near what would be persia in ancient times or iran today..or the archaic spelling of zimbabwe. There is also corinthia, near the greek city state of the same name, and bythunia, which closely resembles bythynia, a region in the roman empire around the time of 100 AD. In the larger black and white map we see a subcontinental landmass resembling India and named Vendhya (perhaps a blending of India and veda the early residents). It is clear that if it was a different world it was HEAVILY based on our own. More than likely it was a concept of an ancient earth in a shrouded age before radical changes altered the landscape to some degree.

conan was not the only character in the series :) though perhaps it was more of the eastern approach to armor. Alrighty, then consult some real armor. The point is that is more like Robin's tights than king arthur's metal suit.

the drawing is good, but the coloring is too muted. It is particularly the background elements that look bland. Some shading on the sky and the ground would make a huge difference, but even then, it just doesn't pop out at a person with bold colors. The detail on the faces etc. is great. The only criticism of the line art is the wizards feet placement. YOu have such great implied motion throughout the work that the wizards feet seem out of place. They are awkwardly placed straigh on, no movement, no suggestion of balancing weight on one leg or the other. Especially with the motion of the upper body this seems a little unusual. The comic book style is pretty cool, but for comic book references on armor try the conan series :) Overall, great to see more folks doing some artistic work on here 9.6 out of 10. brighten the coloring of the bg especially and it would be approaching 10

lol...well at least I am ...consistent?

I like the general impression of this one. Lots of detail, fairly organized idea of the shape...color..well...monochromatic is all the rage afterall. would give it a 9.1

I always take so long to finish these due to boredom. This is my latest attempt at skin shading....

Lovable creature? They are hideous little things....right up there with lessers in my book. Who really wants their toddler to speak with a lisp anyway? And didn't Jerry Falwell say they were the antichrist? Oh wait, nevermind, that was Barney. not a bad pixel really. But if you are going to make chubby lessers you might want to adapt your whole cartooning style to rounded disproportionate characters instead of that looking like an accident. So keep the lesser and draw everything else fat and cute looking :)

I enjoy numbers 2 and 4, but it might just be that they are more generally attractive ppl lol. There is some obvious sign of brushing, no doubt, but perhaps simply saying brushed photos would have been best. Ah well, I assumed when you said mostly brushing that it wasn't all brushing. I prefer the rs related signatures myself, but if that is all you ever do then you limit yourself in scope big time. There are plenty of people who actually want non rs related sigs because something about the chosen subject matter reflects an aspect of their personality. Good work overall, they have a nice look, and that is about all that matters in a sig :).

all that render time! lol but does give you a chance to think on the next design :) Good work.

I like the overall look, but seems washed out. Anyway, I am just a guy with a girly name, so no good here :) Hope ya find someone there azvi, and if I find someone who I think it would fit I might refer them. (gee...now which of my online female acquaintances do I want to tell that they seem cold and icey? lol)

Well before I looked at the other comments I had something to say about noses, so I guess I will continue to say it :) The vectorish style generally uses patches of color rather than strictly lines to define an area. I think that the main reason the noses stand out is that they are thin lines in contrast to large blocks of tone. Also, the light source seems to come from above but you made no provision for facial shadows. So while the rest of the drawing looks fairly well shadowed the face is lacking a bit of depth. I realize that with just two tones it is a struggle to define the facial features, so this is a challengting type of work. On the hair issue, I actually like large blocks as you have it ,and don't see a problem really. I think if anything some stray hairs from the main block might help. You may want to make the white sheen on the hair go to more of a point near the top, as though it were from overlapping sections of hair. As it is I see no structural reason for it to be such a blunted look. Otherwise the basic face morphology etc. looks fine :) good work.

I left cv, won't go into why but starting back up the rs vultures. Please rate the site for 1. usability 2. overall impressions. And yes, the form factor is similar to the old site, but I don't think it will be used anyway so no problem there. http://rs_vultures.tripod.com/
