Oh no don't do that. Take notice of the comments for sure, but it is your art piece and do what feels right for you. I often comment on people's pics-in-progress in Nolani and as often as not, they have a better idea than I do and the end result is fabulous.

@ Sasultra: I really like what you've created, but unfortunately your collage doesn't show it off at all. All those photoshop filters are really confusing, and distort what you're trying to show. With some you can't even tell whether it's a painting or a sculpture you're entering... I'd suggest to pick one good photo, edit that very lightly so that the light/shadows and contrasts are fine, but you're still able to tell what's going on. If you wanted to make a collage, you should use pictures from different angles, and maybe one or two detail shots. Present them in a nice and clean layout, and it will portray your cool work in a much better way

Oh, and the photos need to be bigger! I wanna SEEEE what's going on

I see what you mean I actually used a cartoon thing for the tiny pictures the 3 big ones in the middle are the sculptures I created by hand the others are cartoon form of the sculptures I found the cartoon only brought out the snowmen better, but not so much the grentches. and to be honest it looks a alot better in a bigger form the photo bucket only allows me to show in that size

. Thank you

@ Tee Wrex. That is so cute!

@ Ferocious Thanatos. The tonic on the window sill and the bow on the gift don't seem to fit/blend into the picture properly. I think the tonic is too far forward and the lighting doesn't seem right on it. The bow is so much crisper it seems off. Maybe blur some of the edges of it?

@ Sasultra. The pictures are so small its really hard to see what your entry is. There really needs to be a much larger main picture that shows off your sculptures.

----------

Still cant decide what I want to do.
1) Plushies. I've done this so many times before, but they are cute and cuddly and it is something I know I can do.
2) Polymer clay stuff. I dont think I have a unique enough idea yet.
3) Wintersday quilt. Havent nailed down exactly what it would look like yet, just that it would be cool to do.
4) Dwayna's Regalia. Delicious coconut chocolate chip oatmeal cookies were my downfall this month. I dont think I am skinny enough to pull this outfit off well, but I really like it.

Yes, I think I fix my issue by changing host. THANKS again Thistle and Morag . DO clay Koreen

@Sasultra: If you still have the sculpture (which you ought to since you made it) you can take new pictures, if your mother's camera is broken (I know you said formatted, which does not mean broken) you still have plenty time to borrow one from friends/family.

Sasultra · Dec 03, 2011, 05:14 PM // 17:14

If you hit download image on my deviant art page IT`S HUGE I love it

It`s looking very nice good start. I`m no artist but I think you should incorporaite (can`t spells lol) a NICE christmas tree in back ground (light snow) and on the christmas tree make it have a shiny lights realistist effect ( if you can) I couldn`t thats for sure

GeminiJuSa · Dec 03, 2011, 06:26 PM // 18:26

Hum, I was originally planning on keeping the background plain, but that IS a nice idea.

I'm actually intending to make it poster sized, so if I feel like it, I'll print it and put on my walls (I have nothing on my walls, which is odd since I'm an artist...)

Draken Burst · Dec 03, 2011, 10:19 PM // 22:19

Well.. I don't think I'll be able to finish my drawing.

Fell off a ladder while painting some door frames inside the house and sprained my wrist. Had to be my right one too. ><..Karma. First my bird chews and breaks the cable to my tablet so no digital work. Decide to go traditional and this happens.

I could try doing it left handed I guess but I know it's going to turn out god awful.

This saddens me.

P.S. Typing with one hand sucks. XD If I don't manage to get SOMETHING done. Good luck to everyone else!
