      kewl!
      Crashs Raptor! Crash was precisely the reason why I started drawing dinos and later dragons. I made the raptorhatchlet too, somewhere. I still own it as an original A3 ( I made mine using black pencil) ,with some original cat nibbles at the corner, somewhere but kept it offline cause officially its a copy of a original piece.
      I like your version very much 🙂

        with the other exception that I seem to have cought a terrible cough, something between a bronchitis and.. pneumonia :/
        but thanks again 🙂

          kewl! starlings are cool! I had one to, rescued as a chick. He flew off some time later but he was a real real cool compagnion. ANd I must contradict: he was very smart.
          Right now I have a sparrow as a “pet”, sometimes I realize how kewl it is to have a bird perching on your shoulder or eating from your yoghurt (yes) or nesting in your scarf. here he is:

          he’s been with us since… 2002?

                I would have said for weight and insurance 50$ from UK to Europe (!!!) is realistic, but THAT much sounds like someone walks the piece to its destination.

                  not really into anime neither do I have such in reach, but I am a Eurofurence goer 😉 Furry, for those who dont know the Con. I did have DragonCon and FurtherConfusion in mind though next year. But its so cool to live in a secluded country. Hey, Basilisk, time to found HelvetiCon for Dragon Fans 🙂

                    I get the whole sortiment of all possible spams from ebay as soon as I list something. SOme are as easy as ” can I have an interior picture of that mercedes” but many are very easy mistaken especially if the spammer takes more time and actually takes the right thing as the correct ebay section or of course the classical email from ebay itself. I always check where the log in link goes ( anything not starting with ebay or paypal etcetera yadda is out) and if I am still not sure I log in by going directly to ebay.com paypal.com etc.

                    fighting these spammails these days is like fighting the Hydra, chop one and to come. The good part so long thankgodness still is that there are not enough spamwriters to write the exact spam fitting your auction yet. I underline yet. Guess as I am speaking someone hacks a code for it…

                      LOVED it!
                      What I liked best about it was the total anti mainstream(storywise and design/characterewise), so my opinion. of course a real nice more or less happyendpredictable mainstreamer is cool to if well rendered but I am happy that there can be something else too. Especially after Eragon kinda ruined my expectance of the future fantasy movies.
                      okay, it was partially pretty graphic and I was happy that my screen was small and dark *cough dvd cough*, but still I stay with my comment that it is not splatter but somewhere the really brutal truth that can be found even in fairy tales. With exception of the one early scene that is, looked away then. Definitly not suited for children (even if they see harder stuff on tv and real life (exceptions)), despite the wonderful images and the general idea of what can be a childs fantasy world.
                      and Pan is love! not the way I remembered him from the images (he was more sympa there) but still, lovely. and the chirping fairies 🙂 but thats enough, go watch it if you can (beware of graphicness) 🙂

                        that actually sounds like some of my auctions, only this is an advanced use of ecstasy or whatever strong hallucigena.
                        And by now I am sure about it: its the story that makes the oject 🙂

                          I will do my best but then again, my experience is that if you can do not give them any points they can hang personal experienc on. First observe, then tell more about yourself.
                          The difference to your teacher, Spark, is that mine hung me up by the very fantasy. One teacher told me that the fact that I could draw horses without reference (not using the tracing table and prints from google) was very bad, down to the very scetchy lines you see in my artwork, which she called “the fantasy line”.
                          The other teacher, after I told him I do fantasy, said that the very rainbowy colors I used when I painted an Abalone Shell (google it) were fantasy.
                          The other teacher called my artworks scary stile and compared me to… Giger.
                          One teacher said: I saw fantasy once, i do not need to look at it a second time.
                          ANther teacher (not directly in contact with me) said that fantasy artists have a talent for exact rendering but absolutely no talent in art. It goes this far that my school killed all the subjects connected with:
                          perspektive
                          grayscale painting
                          color painting still life
                          anatomy nude paintings

                          we dont need that. As long as I am shitted enough into the brain I can easyly call a used gum art whenever I want to.

                          I did have other teachers who looked beyond the fact that I put a horn on a horse, but those were mostly 1/10 and I found keeping a secret better and easyer for me.
                          I got the approval to go the con though, and as it seems even without that I may have to tell more than “artshow and sales at Convention”.
                          thanks for the comments 🙂

                            “Mom? Mom? hey, I have a… sixped longish two transparent petalled thing under my wing… OMG!! it moved!!!”
                            naw, will think of something thoroughly and original 🙂
                            as soon as major fuss with school is over.
                            I right now have a bigger problem. My greates fear has become true, it looks more or less as if I have to tell my teachers and my director what I am doing as a hobby and that I sell fantasy art because they dropped a week of silly school over my biggest Convention date(Eurofurence).
                            And dammit have I never been as afraid as I am now, in fact my fear of not being able to go to my fav con is topped by my even greater fear that I will be burned again for something that is not my fault but a mere fact of narrowmindedness and personal revenge.
                            at some point I even realized how sick all this hiding is that I am doing.

                              I liked Saphira. that was about it. How was that with the horses, Basilisk? thought those helped too to, what, like make 1/3 of the one star?
