NIB! You have got to teach me how to draw! Thunder's rendition of Ceres Silvery is drool-worthy! Syet! She makes the ugly fin helm look good! @_@

Waaaaaaaaaaah!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
Malachi
Gah! That's some skill! :eek:

Would it be possible for me to ditch just half my pride and ride along on this beg? :sweatface: I'd like to learn how to draw as well! *semi-beg on one knee*

Somebody, please hire me.

I've been designing websites for years. I can code for Mozilla. I love CSS. I rock at interface design. I'd even make a great IT department bitch. I'd crimp cables all day without complaining. I make awesome coffee. I give good hea... well nevermind that. But I'll put all of my MP3's on the network!

I could even make an awesome telemarketer! I have no soul, and I'm a little sadistic!

C'mon, somebody, please?

I don't wanna join the army! ;_;

I'll have to admit, the eye blew me away :ok: Even I don't draw them with that much detail and...style (no exagg there ;) ) Great work Thunder! :rock: See? I told you if you stopped being lazy in drawing you'd pull it off rather well :cool: Now if you could just give the same amount of attention to the hair and headdress... :ok:

Sky, you could borrow the samples/models I left Thunder if you think you'd like to base an artstyle there. Actually, I recommend you just pick your favorite artist, copy whatever you think is key/essential, then...

Let's see what did I tell Thunder...(or what I think I told her anyways :buck: )

Basta: Just copy like hell at first, get a feel of how it is to draw. Then when you're confident enough slowly segregate yourself from it, try incorporating your own touch, or making it stand out more. Finally, produce art with the least amount of referencing on your part. Always strive to depict things your own way.

Important note, but not as relevant unless people actually plan to take drawing seriously: Most artists seem to rock just because they're better than most at emulating another popular artstyle. A lot of talents stagnate here. The real legends are the ones whose art seems so developed that you'd have trouble finding out where they started from :nuts: These, are GODS :notworthy:

TRP:

Someone give me a job as a character designer/cover artist. I don't care if you pay me less than minimum wage at first (heck with what I'm earning now it's not that hard to adjust :feeble, jaded laugh: ), just let me have this illusion that I'm actually on the way to realizing part of my dreams.

@Sky - OMG, I didn't realize you plastered that artwork here! :eek: :buck:

@Nib - Sensei!! :notworthy: yeah, i know, the other details sucked...i'm gonna work on those someday. :laugh: this is the artwork i was telling you about that i wanted to color in photoshop. i still haven't finished though, but when i do, i'll let you see so you can tell me what you think about it. :ok:

btw, i was just handed an ad by my mom this morning, they're wanting animators (the artists who draw manually, not the actual people who digitize them). not exactly what you were looking for, but you may want to check it out anyway. after all, i ran to you for help with my animating class, how hard can animating and clean-up be for you? :) i'll pm you the details soon.

EDIT:
okay, i lost the ad clipping in the abyss...commonly known as my room. :nuts:

I beg to god that we get a faster internet connection.

Er, could I just get a big bag of money. I don't like working.
Kaneda
Hey Status if you don't mind me asking where do you live? I might be able to help you depending on your location.
Voldemort
To beg...

Fine. To all those people who play Magic: The Gathering, and no longer have any interest in it, please sell me your cards! I'm looking for Mana Drain, Dual Lands, and basic lands... :buck:

And more begging...

... for a mini-EB! But that's for a different topic altogether...

Midwest, situated right between Chicago and Saint Louis, but willing to relocate, travel, etc.

Should I get you a copy of my resume and portfolio? :sweatface:

Well my Uncle works for the Department of Agriculture in Sacramento California. They are looking for an office technician. You would be working with custom monitoring equipment recording and prepping broadcasts for transmission to the satelite agencies. He told me they are looking someone familiar with networking specifically WAN because that is how the broadcasts are transmitted. The OS is a custom UNIX flavor but they offer training for the equipment. He said even if you had never touched UNIX as long as you are a fast learner and understand networking basics you would be fine. It pays 2500-3500 a month based on experience. It sounds boring as hell and you would have to live in Sacramento but if you're interested I can forward your resume on to him. The best thing about the whole position is the pay which is pretty good for the Sacramento area. Real estate prices are pretty cheap comparativly.

He has been bugging me for 3 weeks trying to get me to apply so I am looking for fresh meat to throw him. :biggrin:

Ei! We want an EB, too! But how, when and where? :biggrin:

...begging for a back massage. my back is killing me! :(

You know, on any other day I might pass on that, but I was just talking ten minutes ago with an old friend who wants me to come and visit her in Sacramento, and the coincidence is too strangely awesome to ignore. :D

Relocation wouldn't be a big issue for me, and California would be a nice change of scenery. Of course, getting there for an interview might be tricky to figure out, but I guess I won't worry about that until I know if they even want to interview me. :laugh:

Give me a day or two to retool my resume just a bit (It's pretty design-specific right now), and brush up on my l33t networking sk1llz. It's been a couple years since my MCSE / sysadmin classes, and my teacher wasn't kidding when he said "You'll never use this stuff." ;)

Whatever happened to that thread? Oh, yeah. Everyone conceded defeat to you, I guess. Except the senshis. :devil:

And as a TRP, the previous beg still stands. A mini-EB... time to take that point to the right thread then. And as another instance of begging... someone please let me know where to get a copy of the Summerslam commercials!!
