You're welcome

I enjoy looking at sacred geometry- I've tried to draw my own flower of life- it is a bit challenging when my compass gets offset from its original placement. As a result the piece doesn't always appear even :/

Try using a screw adjustable compass (not sure what they're called). Drawing straight lines from centre (after first layer of circles) also helps.

For school? I'm guessing.

For myself, I've been to a lot of places- seen both coasts of the US, Hawaii, been on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, been sailing and crossed the Equator.

No, we moved into the family house.

You've been a lot farther than I have. X3 I've only been so far west as Colorado, So far south as Sanibel Florida, so far north as New Jersey (at least that's what mt parents tell me, I was too young to remember that) and I've been to the Atlantic in Rehobeth and Ocean City.

Indeed.
We throw the term "hero" around a lot these days. Almost with reckless abandon. But Armstrong was the real deal.
How many countless children said, after July 20th, 1969 said "I wanna be like Neil Armstrong when I grow up."

SoftShellback In reply to Russian-Fox [2012-08-27 03:47:46 +0000 UTC]

Well, I didn't want to be Neil...I did want to be a jet pilot when I was younger- I was around jets a lot since my dad was Navy and he knew aviators and technicians who maintained aircraft so they let me have an up close and personal look. I was thrilled when they let me sit in the cockpit of an A-4J when I was around 7 or 8 (Seemed like yesterday...) so I made it a mission to make the attempt- I was disappointed when I was told that my eyes wouldn't allow it- I have 20/40 vision in both eyes

Russian-Fox In reply to SoftShellback [2012-08-29 01:12:57 +0000 UTC]

That was a similar situation with me.
My grandfather used to take me to Dover Air Force Base back in the 1980s when I was a young kid. Back then they were flying F-106's, among other fighters and we'd watch them come and go all day long. From that I was hooked, I wanted to fly.

Fast forward a bit to when I was just out of high school and was talking to a Marine recruiter. He was looking for fighter pilots and I told him I wanted to give it a shot. Unfortunately, my appauling vision of 20/350 (yes, they're THAT bad) killed that dream right then and there.

By the by I strolled through your gallery- I feel all your work is lovely. Most of it is dark in tone- and each piece expresses how one feels when the work is captured. I enjoy the lighter stuff best

RosenrotOhRosenrot In reply to SoftShellback [2012-06-22 06:53:46 +0000 UTC]

Aww thankyou Haha its just a matter of personal taste I think whether someone enjoys the lighter or darker stuff best. My main reason for doing art was to release my emotions so that's why so much of my work is emotional

SoftShellback In reply to RosenrotOhRosenrot [2012-07-04 17:01:37 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome I agree art just has that sort of magic to express what we feel when the words often escape us. For me it allows me to reveal what are my passions. In my case, I draw women. They could be fanart, divinities, or a pretty lady in the same room with me. As a man my desire to admire the feminine form has found a means to say what I lack in eloquence...

Exactly I'll admit, I probably wouldn't last one day in ancient times, lol XD But I have a major admiration for the various warrior societies, and their creeds. The Norsemen, with their beliefs of Valhalla for those who die in battle, is another good example
