Speaking for myself, I don’t have Photoshop, so I don’t know how much I’d use it if I did. I agree with dblade that it’s nice to be on a level playing field for contests, and like Hammerknight says, it’s good to know if someone’s achieved a fancy effect with HM or with another program – mainly so I know if I can duplicate it, actually!

I know zypping takes ages, but I think you get a lot of satisfaction out of it at the end, particularly by looking at the image before and after you zypped it, and comparing the two.

My 2 cents.

For Christmas, I’ve set myself a challenge: every day of Advent (that’s the 24 days up to Christmas), I’ll draw a picture, scan it onto my computer, and post it here. Here’s the first one. This is Mia:

You might be seeing a bit more of her later. This is mostly a character reference pic, for when I decide I need to use her again.

Uhh…where’s the picture?

Very creative! I had to look at it for a while to see all 3 parts, but they are all there!

Speaking of selkies…I wonder what happened to my Dblade prize, a seal tail? Jeff added some other dblade items a while back, didn’t he?

It was submitted a while ago. I think Jeff might have overlooked it the first go around. I resubmitted it so hopefully when the next batch of items goes live the seal body will be one of them.

Yeah, I thought that might have happened. I remember you saying you submitted it, but then nothing happened! Thanks for re-submitting it, that might help. I’m so impatient to start making some selkies!

Okay, wow. Can…can I borrow that?

KAIRULAN FACTS OF THE WEEK/MONTH: (Not “day”, Myro!)
This time the subject is: Elementals, nymphs and elemental magic.

1. All elementals and nymphs belong to the same species, regardless of element.

2. The element they take is not determined by that of their parents or their surroundings, but by a choice when they become an adult.

3. They feed on magic to survive – mostly the natural green magic present in their surroundings, but they can also feed on magic provided by a mage. Some elementals have, in the past, made bargains with mages to work for them in return for being fed magic.

4. Elementals and nymphs both get more powerful with age, with the most powerful being several centuries old. They do not die of old age, but can be killed or die of illness.

5. There have been known to be elementals and nymphs for the lesser elements, such as ice, metal, etc, as well as the main four. However, there are no recorded instances of either elementals or nymphs for Spirit, Shadow or the Void.

Sounds good! I’ve set myself a challenge to do a Christmas (or winter) themed drawing – yes, that’s hand-drawn, folks – every day of Advent, scan it and post it. I’ll see how far I get!
