*SNERK*

I was looking at that going "Is she INSANE?!" until about halfway through. And it all came together. I should not read sarchasm and spoof this late at night.

What's really sad... I did learn something useful. Both the uses of dodge and burn, and how to overuse them (and now knowing- avoid doing so)

So... for what it's worth... THANKS!

And thanks for making me laugh.

wild-horse [2006-11-07 11:25:50 +0000 UTC]

shouldnt you be encourageing ppl to create their own art instead of borrowing others? i really dont think thats fair to "trace" others art unless you ask them and credit them for the original.

wild-horse In reply to kalamu [2006-11-08 07:33:18 +0000 UTC]

Dyun [2006-11-07 00:59:39 +0000 UTC]

Nice tutorial. I took notes! I love the little asides you've got going on below the explanations. Ever heard of Johnnen Vasquez and his "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac" comic books? If not, you should check em out. He's got those little aside things..... total randomness but so funny.
Art theft sucks.

ok? I would be pretty ticked if an uncreative person 'traced' over my hard work and copied my creative idea. whatever, i guess if you get the person's permission. . .

Kalamu, dette her er bare dritbra<3 Trodde først du mente det seriøst, men omtrent døde av latter når jeg fant ut hva du egentlig ville
Elsker den der...'Mommy! what's for dinner' XD
Men men... dt vet at også sjønne, babysøte ting kan være fine... meeeeen...... veldig blendende *-*;; Isj.

Jaja, god jobb til deg og kamaria uansett XD

kalamu In reply to Kulingile [2006-11-06 16:30:42 +0000 UTC]

Don't get me wrong

Jeg elsker søte ting. Til en viss grad. Men jeg bare stereotypifiserer tingene.
Søte ting får mange favoritter på dA så å trace ting som biler eller stilleben lønner seg egentlig ikke, du blir jo bare oppdaget uansett xD

Kulingile In reply to kalamu [2006-11-06 16:42:29 +0000 UTC]

Haha, ja XD Jeg tipper at vis jeg tok et av bildene dine for eksempel, tracet det (med ørsmå endringer) så ville folk flippa ut på meg (sikkert du og, hvis du ikke visste om det ) Haha. Bu blir oppdaga, før eller siden.
Eneste gangen det å kopiere noe fullstendig er når du skal lære, og da laster du det aldri opp, som regel. Heh heh heh. mn jaja. Sjønne ting er søte... bare det ikke blir fårr blendende.
