Project Greenleaf Items

January 16, 2010 - 10:04pm — Redkora
Hello all,

I have an online store called Redkora's Forest Fare to help raise funds for Project Greenleaf. My store is one of those listed on the Project Greenleaf page.

Anyway, I have re-listed some items up there. Check it out!

Also, I wasn't able to reopen custom commissions during the Holidays due to the large amount of responsibility I had in organizing and dealing with things I had this time around. After I take stock in what I have for supplies, however, I'll reopen commissions. Smiling

Losing control of your deer…

January 16, 2010 - 8:16pm — firedance
*example* You have your deer go eat a pine cone..but instead of doing that your deer runs off..usually straight to the pond..and it’s almost impossible to get it to stop. I have found ways to make it stop, but geez,It’s kind of creepy.

Freak Angels [Webcomic]

January 16, 2010 - 6:43am — Alecsander
Anyone else read/follow this series?

If not I highly suggest checking it out. A fair warning that it does have language/violence/references to sexual acts so mature audiences preferred.

Read from the beginning

It's a bit slow to start but picks up really fast as more characters are introduced.

Figured I'd throw it out there if someone needed some new material to pour through.

Story in a nutshell:

The world ended and everything went to hell in a handbasket with a gigantic flood. The majority of the main protagonists work to help humanity thrive using the same abilities that caused the destruction in the first place. The first book loosely follows the story of an 'outsider' taken under control by one of the 'corrupt' 'freak angels' to attack the rest who are attempting to rebuild a stable way of life. The second book deals with another attempted attack and the third is in the process of chronicling how they caused the end of the world in the first place.

Sorry I've not been active recently

January 16, 2010 - 2:18am — kovah
Title ^

There has been some drama on an art community i got pretty involved in and I've been organising an evacuation of that site more or less to www.CGHub.com If you are interested in improving your art its the place to be at the moment, its a bit more professional than deviantart and while you might get some harsh crits they will be honest and you will improve.

Which is what i am trying to do hence my lack of activity here as im trying to do studies every day on top of my usual routine to improve my art with a goal of being able to draw people well without reference by the end of the year. I want to be in the art world and this is my way to it.

Feel abit stupid posting hiatus journal but figured i owed it to you guys to let you know even though im still a relative newb here.

Will still be around, if you desperately need me i'm kovah on deviantart and cghub

ttfn.

Share some inspiration?

January 16, 2010 - 12:19am — Spyrre
Meh. I don´t know exactly why, but I have been very tired recently. I haven´t had inspiration or energy to do much anything, art nor roleplay (which is bad, I used to play all the time o_O ). As everyone probably knows, this kind of phases are highly annoying, so I thought to ask if people had some tricks in their sleeves against these damn blocks.
What do you do when you have art/writing block?
Want to suggest an inspiring/fun movie/book/music/something else?
Maybe this could help me and other people suffering of the same "condition". =)

For my answer, movie-nerd as I am, I like to watch movies trying to gather some inspiration. The most inspiring movies I can think of are probably Princess Mononoke and Pan´s Labyrinth, but somehow I also enjoy of The Neverending story and such old fantasy movies. I listen music too, and have my mp3-player stuffed mostly with Susumu Hirasawa, Disturbed and Poets of the fall. It might have even worked, I actually got myself to paint again a bit listening music... <3

This is how much space my 17,600+ TEF screenshots are taking up.

I'm not sure how to go about clearing them without losing some that might be special to me.. there are just so many..




I'll delete this later..

Adorable little fawn. (Name?)

January 15, 2010 - 9:46pm — Bilaiyal
Today Bilaiyal met the most adorable little fawn. :] If anyone knows the name of him/her I would appreciate it. :3


He felt like such a Daddy and ended up watching the little one play around and even began to get a bit protective as an unnamed deer kept approaching without a proper bow or any sign of respect.



Bilaiyal wanted to apologize to the fawn for leaving so suddenly, he did his best to say farewell but was unsure if the message got across. :x He is also in the process of finding a suitable appearance still, so if you see him about... feel free to plaster him with forest magic. ;3

Dear feyn.

January 15, 2010 - 6:23am — fayne
I don't know why I'm posting this here, really, but I guess it's because I don't blog anywhere else and my dA feels a bit...public, lol. Just rambling, not really important to anyone but me. Also yes I am a crazy girl who talks to herself. Cool

I need to get out of this "ZOMGTEFDURRSTEFDURRS" stage. (Should be pronounced "tef-durrs". Like it's spelled.) I know that's why my dA gallery is suffering - it's all I draw. I love Tuna, Oz, Pan, and Crusty Old Man, yes, but I need to give them a rest. Isn't it time I started kicking my creative side in the ass, anyways? It's been a long time. So yeah. Get off the couch and make some characters, woman. Who gives two shtis if your friends think they're weird, they're never gonna find out.

And did I mention you're not pushing yourself? Not at all. That ego boost from the "skilled young artist" thing has made you lazy as Phillip Hoffman. Improve improve improoooove. Draw every day. Stop putting it off to tool around on TEF - that's screwing with your school stuff, too, what the hell? There isn't even that much interesting stuff here anymore. (Don't kick me, I have a crowbar.) So yes. draw draw draw. Oh, and remember that art book that was publiched in liek the 40's sitting under your desk? It was a damn sight helpful when you read it, so try reading it again.

Also, SRO. What the hell happened to that retryout. Six months is too long, man. :\

Current goal: Get good enough for that one website. Yeah, you remember the one I'm talking about. C: It's a long ways off, so GET ON THE ROAD ALREADY, DAMMIT.

Love,
Pan.

HAHA no I lied. c8
