Problem Solved. Locked ~Alduron

Off Topic - Thread Cleaned. On Topic - Nice work there aside from the head the only thing that stands out to me is that the wall appears a bit thin, I think it would be great if you could make it a bit heavier. Good Luck ~Alduron

Its very nice for your first work. As for what else you could do to it, that really depends on what you like. You could try adding some shading to it, or try different colors... basically the idea is to have fun and create something that you can enjoy :D Good Luck ~Alduron

Very nice work, impressive detail and feel. I wish I had the time and talent to take some art courses, would love to be able to do things like that :D Awesome job. ~Alduron

Nice work, not bad for a fake :) ~Alduron

You could achieve a similar look by using painting with light. ~Alduron

It is illegal to use copies of programs that are ripped. Such action is not supported/allowed on this forum. ~Alduron

Search is always helpful :wink: Here is the thread that was mentioned. Since the problem is solved I will lock this. ~Alduron

Very nice work :D ~Alduron

Use the search function or even try google but this request sounds a bit dodgy so locking this. ~Alduron

Please post only original works created by you, not taken from another source. If I am mistaken please pm me to get this sorted. Locking this until further notice. ~Alduron

If you must ask if it is allowed pm a mod or admin, do not post the image on the forum. For general rule of thumb, if you would let a little child see it or if Disney would put it in a move etc it should be accepted on this forum. In this case I would say no that is not allowed. I suggest you remeove it from your sig area ;) Locked ~Alduron

Search is your friend ;) Question answered if you have more specific questions you may ask try not to make such general inquiries next time ;) Locked ~Alduron

I have always liked that style of sig...thinks back to the good ole days ;) ~Alduron

Problem solved. Locking this. ~Alduron

Very nice work Terley! ~Alduron

You can also create a thread asking for a sig and how much you are willing to pay on the Media Market forum... It is usually best to hold a competition so that you have more choices and are able to get the sig you like best. Since your question is answered I will now lock this. Good Luck finding a siggy ~Alduron

Do you deal with a lot of marijuana overdoses in your job? Edit: Oh, and just so you know, i'm perfectly "grown up" thanks. I live in a house of my own, drive my own car to work every day, pay my own bills, cook my own food and make my own decisions. Aside from that, i don't live in a ghetto, which means my likeliness of getting 'capped' is pretty low. Also, seeing as my older brother is the person i buy my weed from, i'd say i don't really need to lose any sleep about him shooting me for the price of an 8th. Your post sounds like the usual propaganda - that or a badly scripted episode of CSI. Believe what you want, but not every person who smokes a spliff once a week is going to end up getting shot by a dealer when they're "scoring their next hit" as you put it. The more i read it the more it really does sound like a bad hollywood movie. No the above does not sound like a badly scripted episode of CSI it is called "LIFE" and yes I have dealt with a lot of Marijuana related deaths in fact I would say most of my caseload is Marijuana based because it is a drug of choice and people have a lot of misconceptions about it. The term drugs for the purpose of my use is any substance that is used to gain a euphoric feeling... from solvents, to prescription drugs cocaine etc. and while you may not immediately feel or become aware of negative effects of use all longterm use will damage and result in death. But aside from that there are so many ways in which you can harm yourself/result in a drug related death. Drug use is irresponsible behavior you can easily harm someone and just because you are a "adult" who has a home, does not exclude you from this. There are a lot of upper middle class people that do marijuana whose lifes/family are falling appart, who are faced with adverse health conditions due to their use or who are behind bars for causing the death of another due to their use and those are the lucky ones?! I have worked a number of suicide cases where people leave notes explaining that they cannot go on, that life is beyond their control and they cannot hide from it... some of them kids whose parent tell us they never knew that there was a problem and had no idea their child used marijuana... so quit fooling yourself... quit buying into the few stories your friends may tell you... and listen to people like Ghost Rangers father. I don't have numbers for you, as its not what I deal with but I am sure our detectives have something I could get my hands on... I just know facts and that is just like the commercials say "drugs kill" it is said for a reason... ~Alduron

*Looks up* Keep telling yourself you are fine and should you live another 5 years or so... think about what I wrote and I guarantee you, you will wish things were different. FYI - the term YOU is meant as a general toward anyone that uses drugs or feels drug use is ok... not just at the authors of the last two messages. **Warning Graphic Content** If you are unlucky, you will have someone like me come to your home, or your friends place or some rundown alley where you tried to score a hit, and take pictures of your remains. Dying from an overdose is not a pretty picture (and from training I am told its not a pleasant experience)... dying from getting gunned down, or stabbed from a drug deal gone bad is not either... You will have a bunch of officers and crime lab folks stand over you, taking photographs (your 15 mins of fame I suppose :roll: ), collecting evidence, taking your fingerprints, placing you in a body bag and taking you down to the morque. For us, parts is parts...you are no longer a person you become an item... a nice way to end isnt it? In the meantime some poor detective has to go tell your next of kin (usually mom/dad/spouse) that you were involved in an incident and did not survive. Ever think about how your drug use can affect those around you? You don't care you say, well that is a sign right there that the drug has started to consume you, because sane/non-users care. It's an officers worst job to notify of a death, the family falls apart and starts to blame themselves after the denial period... But what happens to you at the morque ... well we get to take more pictures of you, blood will be drawn, so will samples of urine, and stomach contents. You will be unclothed, washed and prepped for the autopsy. There will be people around wondering why you ended up like this while others will be happy that another one is off the streets... mind you while doing drugs does provide people like myself job security, we have plenty of things to keep us busy ;). There will be lame jokes, talk about things that are still happening in the real world ... you know the ones you will no longer enjoy... and then there will be business as the Y incision is made, photographs need to be taken at every step of the way. The doctor will announce in a monotone fashion for the recording all the technical details of your body, ie weight of lungs, heart, brain, liver etc. Slicing and dicing is what we call it... small slivers or organs are preserved in vials for future toxicology examinations. Then finally after cause of death is determined, all your organs which are now in a plastic bag will be dropped back into your open torso cavity (heck its not like you need em anymore...) the assistant will then do a rough sewing job to close of the Y incision and send you on your way to the funeral home... If we don't know who you are or if we need fingerprints for reference then I get to break your fingers to get my prints, palm and fingerprints (mind you that not all cases require me to break bones, but there are some that do)... depending on the condition of the body I may even have to cut off the hand to reconstruct it... anything for a print... Drugs consume you and destroy you on so many levels ... When you grow up... this too will make sense to you... ~Alduron

^^ Right from an 80's school educational video :D *thinks back to the PSA he saw as a kid...* Shows egg at the camera... "This is your brain" Cracks egg into frying pan... *this is your brain on drugs" Classic... but a load of rubbish. Perhaps people that know more than you on this subject came up with quotes like that... How many times have you investigated a suspicious death in front of parents that just lost a child to drug use? I have investigated a few hundred violent/suspicious deaths and I can assure you that I have a better first hand account on the effects of drugs on the user and those around him/her than the average person that has posted on this thread especially the wiseguys that think this is all a big game. What I have posted is based on personal knowledge and experience and I stand by what I said no matter how much it sounds like an 80s educational video :roll: ~Alduron

Locking this since the problem has been solved :D ~Alduron

Very nice work man and it certainly fit the discussion :D ~Alduron

Beautiful Photograph :D Why not edit the tourists out? ~Alduron

There is no such thing as a good/safe high... there is no such thing as a good/safe drug. There are laws in place for a reason and that is to protect you and the people around you. Drugs ruin lifes, even if you do not die from the first use or second etc., it will still damage your health and down the road it will matter to you. It will affect the way people look at you and trust you. It will affect the type of job/career you will be able to obtain in the future. It eats at you and destroys you a little piece at a time. If you are a user stop now while you can... before the drug stops you. ~Alduron

It is very unfortunate that such avoidable incidents occur. Being responsible for investigating such crime scenes I can tell you, from what I have seen, young individuals are prone to being influenced by these games and hollywood... As was mentioned racing is nothing new, but it is more dangerous than ever and young adults are subject to peer pressure, media pressure etc and their desire to be "cool". Recently there was an incident where I live (not my case) where a motorcycle and a 'vette were street racing... the motorcycle ended up running into the side of a car which then ran over the motorcyclist. Upon this impact the vehicle caught fire... the driver of the car survived but the motorcyclist did not... The driver of the 'vette who returned to the scene now faces charges of Homicide... A friendly warning for the folks that think street racing is cool and you can take care of yourself... you may not care about your life, but what if you kill someone else with your irresponsible behavior :( Just my two cents... live life smart... ~Alduron
