i always paint the bottoms on mine, it looks ALOT neater. as for getting the paint on the side of the piece, i do the bottom AFTER i’ve sealed the rest of the piece, so if i go a hair over, i can catch it with either a paper towel or damp paint brush.:)
I never thought bout it that way….DUH (on my part) 😆 …thanks for the info! 😉 😀

get– out– of— my– mind!!! 😆
here is the pics 🙂
The base color is actually blue– but it looks more purple… accents in teal and a lighter purple which actually looks a bit pink. Then I washed her in a white shimmer paint– to make her look ‘frosty’ (which is what the poem is about).
WOW! I love it! VERY PRETTY! WTG!

You know what, I agree with you Whippet….the koi spots dont really match the real fish.

I found this on google
and came up with this idea, colored on the computer….
I like him from the knees up…but I wasn’t sure what to do with him from the kees down. I’m hugely open to suggestions and critique. Or, should I scrap the color scheme and try something else? (in which case, I had another, yet more simple idea) Yes, I know the coloring is rough. :p
THAT HAS GOT TO BE THE NEATEST KiRin I HAVE SEEN YET!!! That ROCKS!!!!!!! 😯 😯 😀
I think using a green on the lower leg instead of brown would look better, but other than that, that is amazing! I LOVE IT!

I KNOW I have to be like that LOL….I dont have a choice….grrrrrrrr….HEHE 😆 😕
Greater Basilisk wrote:No, I think you have a point. I-ll use numbers. Much more exciting. And I don-t think I should vote, either, just to keep it fair.
I thought that was already established too 😛 😆 😆
Just pickin on ya hun! LOL! 😉Yea, as long as YOU know whom they belong to, it really doesnt matter how you label them, as long as thier names arent tied into it somehow.
Greater Basilisk wrote:Size of the picture shouldn-t matter, I don-t think. As for names…
You know, DC, I thought names would be published, but on second thought, it would probably be much more exciting not to know who took what. I-ll number the photos and match number to number for the poll.
I sure hope I-m not messing up Art-s plans with this guessing…OK, cause’ yea, because there could be favortism if there are names with the pictures…I thought I read that somewhere previously….then again I could be wrong LOL! 😆 😯
Greater Basilisk wrote:Art Slinger wrote:Since I’ve missed it , or there hasn’t been much discussion about the nature of this contest, I’ll basicly stick to the original plan.
I have a Young Dragon, new, Peacock, perfect speciman;. set aside as the only prize.
One prize=one winner. I think that everyone can operate a camera somewhat, some are not great at it, and some are. It’s an art form in that respect;..except that anyone can be in the right place and time to capture a great moment, or sight.
A photo contest. One photo per person.
I origially thought zoo pics, then I thought wildlife in general. Now I feel more open to more subjects. You can shoot anything suitable for the general audience;..Except : artworks, posed people,
anything truly ugly,death,crime,gangs,no gritty stuff. I want great stuff.
If you see a great car, or building or crowd scene,a racoon on your garbage can, your cat doing something great,(not sleeping please), a brick wall, a traffic jam, someone doing something great, surfers,hang gliders, an artist creating,But not you or a confederate, that’s posed.
A stunt kite, anything that says to you,”this would be a great shot.” Note to those without lots of experience; if your subject permits, shoot at different angles,distance and times if possible.
If your using a camera with manual settings, experiment with different shutter speeds and aperture settings (bracket).
Somehow we need to post these shots all together and I guess we can all vote on them but this will take time if there is a tie.
Also I’m unsure as to how long a period of time should be allowed, to be fair, but not drag this out too long.
Maybe a very quick poll on that and my open idea on subject matter. But then we must roll, I had to take the little guy out of the display case so he wouldn’t sell, I don’t want to have to dust him.
(they hate that).I think those rules are pretty clear, so I won’t add too much to them. I imagine a fair time limit would be two weeks or so, starting tomorrow. Therefore:
Entries must be submitted to me by Monday, March 11.
You can e-mail your one contest photo to me at
humvee (at) econophone (dot) ch
If it’s something really weird or funny, feel free to include a short explanation or story – not more than two sentences.
After March 11, I’ll post the photos to a new Photo Contest thread with a poll, and the whole forum can vote. You can give your photo a title, if you like, otherwise I’ll just match it to your name on the poll.
I hope I didn’t forget anything. Have fun! 😀You arent putting the peoples name visable to the pictures where we are voting right? That is if theres no title to the picture as you are stating correct? Or am I reading that wrong? LMAO
Cause’ I thought we werent supposed to know who’s photo belongs to who, except for you 😀OH, does the size of the picture matter at all?
Yea, they checked for blood clots but didnt find any in both of my legs. They checked from the VERY top of my legs (crotch area LOL) ALL the way down to my ankles….all they saw was the fluid in my legs. But couldnt diagnose what was causing the fluid to build up like that. VERY strange.
K, and do we send the pictures to GB? And then she will set up all the pics taken? How does that work?
This sounds like ALOT of fun!
OHHHHH, do and should we include a description of the photo…cause there may be a story behind it that will add to the photo…think that can be part of it?? 😀 **ponders the perfect photo** HEHE! 😆 😉
