I love it! I tried looking and I'm not seeing the Easter egg haha. I'd hate to be trouble but I really liked it better when the old man was oriented the other way? It's no big deal I'm not sure why I even care haha. You're awesome man

a reply to: LucidWarrior

Hahaha...no problem, I'll flip it around for you. The reason for this switch is somewhere along the line I picked up that you should mirror your project to see small details you missed. I must have forgot to switch it back.

The easter egg is the text below spelling ATS from the top down...

Peace

Sounds like a good trick, wonder if there's something similar for a writer...

Ohh I see it now haha. Thanks again!

a reply to: LucidWarrior

And here you go...



Have fun with it...

Peace

a reply to: Zarniwoop

Ahhh shucks... those are some kind words. Thanks for the welcome!!!

It's still only a hobby which I pick up once in a while....I guess that time is now. lol

I hope to stick around a little longer this time...

I know I'll be seeing you a lot around here.

Peace

a reply to: operation mindcrime

Just a hobby? Dude you got some serious talent

a reply to: LucidWarrior

Hey thanks!!

I wish I could make a living with this stuff!!!

Peace

a reply to: operation mindcrime

Go for it! I'd say you have enough talent

a reply to: LucidWarrior
Nahhh...I would probably work for free seeing how much fun this is!!

I guess I'll start working on a decent avatar for myself...

Peace

Advice i've shared before: you will never break into the art market because getting seen in the huge mass of talent takes way more than skill. So you can't market yourself as an artist easily. But you CAN market your art as product. And not the oversaturated tshirt market. Buy a Crikit and make your own "troll bridge" stencils to sell for fairy gardens on ebay. Save to upgrade to a plasma cutter to cut out metal, etc. Just as an idea.

I've had this Dino avy for a long time now and I think it's time for new one. Some help with that would be truly appreciated.

The avatars coming out of these threads have been wonderful and kudos to everyone for all this fantastic work.

I'm think something with a Raven or Bald Eagle. I seem to have an affinity with both, Raven's tend to follow me around and I had one by my office for years that would talk to me. He had a distinct sound he would make and between that and his size, he was easy to spot and he seemed to like to talk to me when I went out for some fresh air. I've actually had a Bald Eagle land maybe three feet in front of me in Homer, AK, look me in the eye and pick up a stick and throw it in the air like he wanted to play fetch. We interacted for maybe 5 minutes before someone walked by. No idea why they seem to react to me, but I'd love a new avy featuring one or the other.

Hi Blaine91555,

I would love to give it a go...!!

You have been in my friend list since 2008 and I personally do not remember your avatar any different as the bald eagle pic....(at least, I believe that used to be your avatar)

Anyway...do you have a specific idea about what style / colour scheme you would like?

Peace

a reply to: Blaine91555

I'm playing around with photorealistic and a touch of abstract.....I think it suits you best....lol

Here is small concept, let me know if it's going in the right direction.

Not sure about Blaine but that is looking wicked!

a reply to: Martin75

Thanks!! It's just a rough draft and still a bit empty...but who would have thought birdheads are so stackable.

Peace

a reply to: operation mindcrime

We are not doing this but this background is dope!!!



Peace

a reply to: operation mindcrime

Although if memory serves me correct Blaine is Canadian...



Peace

Now that I look at it:

Location: Alaskan Wilderness

Blain is probably American....or maybe skip the flag part.....

Hmmmmm....waiting for some feedback.

Peace

a reply to: operation mindcrime

Sorry I've not been on.

I'm an Alaskan and very American. I like that first one though without the flag stuff. I think that's great in fact!

Thanks so much for helping me with this. You're very talented.

a reply to: Blaine91555

Great!! I'll go work on the details and post the result when it's done. Is there a specific color that you favor?

Peace
