Hey there, I am somerandomfangirl, but you can call me Molly if you want. I'm 13 and from the UK, and I pretty much grew up with LBT. I rediscovered it a few months ago and now I'm OBSESSED with it! My favourite characters are probably Littlefoot's grandparents while my favourite film is probably the first one, followed by "The Great Longneck Migration".
I've actually been snooping around here for quite a while, then I thought I should probably just join. :lol
There's not really that much to know about me. I like drawing and writing my own stories, and making new friends! I hope to join in with some discussions soon! :D
-
Hey, welcome to the incredibly stupid forums (Naw, I'm just kidding! :lol ).
Hmm, another member from England, eh? I'm far from England (obviously living in the U.S.), but Dosu2Dinner, a recent member, is also from England.
Great to have another member on these forums! Hope you enjoy your stay! :DD
-
Welcome to the GOF, Molly! It's great to see such young fans as yourself loving LBT and visiting us. Please, make yourself feel at home here. :yes
-
Welcome
-
Always glad to see a new member. I'm sure you'll find many folks on here that share some of the same hobbies and passtimes that you have.
Littlefoot's grandparents are interesting characters who appear in most or all of the films. Often together, but there are some where only 1 appears or the other does a cameo I think.
-
Hope you enjoy your stay! :DD
Hey, stop using my incredibly overused new-person greeting! :lol
Anyway, welcome to the GoF, Molly. I hope you don't fell too shy to get in some discussions on here. I you like drawing or writing, you can post your stuff on here if you want.
-
Aw, thanks everyone! I'm sure I'll enjoy my time here! I might post some of my art and stuff too. :D
I just have a question: I can't seem to upload an avatar for myself? It says that the type of file isn't allowed but it's definitely the right size and file so I'm not too sure about it. Should I contact an administrator about this?
-
Hi Molly, welcome to the gang of five! :)
About your avatar, what file type is it? If you wish, you could upload it elsewhere and I'll make sure that it'll become your avatar ^^

Thanks for mentioning me vonboy! I was beginning to think everyone had forgotten me... :lol
Hi, Molly! Make yourself comfortable here. It's a really friendly forum (though I'm having trouble changing my avatar too... :bang )
-

Sorry Anyonymous Person, I meant you! :bang I need to get my head screwed on straight... :crazy

Hi, Mumbling, do you think you could give me a hand as well? :oops

It's PNG at the moment. I have tried both that and JPG, but neither are working right now. I could upload it to my scraps on deviantART if that's okay. :)

Thank you! Ah, I see I'm not the only one having trouble with it then. :D
-
That is odd, however I may know the reason why... Could you try it again, Dosu? You may need to be Member+ before you can upload an avatar... Not sure about that, though.
Sure, upload it to your scraps. Just pass me the link :)
-
Welcome!
About the avatar problems,you should upload your picture to an immagehosting site,like Imageshack (http://imageshack.us/) or Photobucket (http://beta.photobucket.com/),and then use the direct link it gives.
-
Oh I see, I can't upload a new avatar either. There must be some issue with invisionfree (our host) or in our settings. I'll try to find the issue, but for the meantime you may have to host the image elsewhere. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Okay, I've got it working now. Thank you Blais_13!
And no worries Mumbling, it didn't take very long. :)
-
Thank you for notifying us ;) Glad it worked out now. Is that your own drawing? :)

Still don't know if it uploads from a computer, but it definitely works with direct links from other websites. And yes, it is. :lol:

About the avatar issue, I remember a few months back when I was changing my avatar from this old one.
(http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h442/vonboysp/OriginalGoFAvatar.png)
to my current one, I had a lot of troubles getting it to want to upload from my computer. I tried every file type I could get my image editor to change the file too, and tried resizing it smaller, but the avatar thing here just never liked it for some reason or another.
I eventually just gave up, uploaded the pic to photobucket, and gave the avatar thingy the images location on the internets.
Maybe a mod could look into this for us?
EDIT: That's a great drawing, by the way! Do you have some of your other drawings on Deviant Art too?

Thanks, glad you like it! I have a few other drawings on my deviantART account of LBT, but so far I've only drawn longnecks. As of last night I have sketched out some of the other species but I won't be uploading those right now. If you wish to check out some of my work my username is also somerandomfangirl, but if you don't want to, you don't have to. :D
-
Well hello there new one. I'm from the UK too. You will have a great time here and making friends here is easy and fantastic at the same time. May I say I love your avatar! I'm guessing you made it? And I have a look at your deviantART if you don't mind! :DD
-
Awesome! Yep, and thanks! There isn't that much fanart on my deviantart yet, but I'll be sure to draw some more soon! :D
-
hi :)
Welcome to the GOF, I'm new here, too ;) Your Avatar is really amazing :yes
-
Hey I just check your fan art and it's really good! I love the ''One night in a cold time''. I hope you can do more fan art soon. :DD
-

Thanks! "One night in a cold time" is probably my favourite fanart of mine too. And I'll be sure to do more fanart ASAP. :D
-
I'm glad to hear that! The last time and the first time I visited DeviantART was back in 2008. Now I have a reason to go there. Also sorry for not leaving a comment on there but I don't have a account. Oh well... :DD
-
2008... that must have been before I ventured into the weird and wonderful world that is the internet. :lol
What can I say? I'm flattered! And no worries about comments, I don't mind. :)
-
For me 2006 was the first time for me. Well if you have any new art to show message me or post them here on the Fanart and Fanfiction section. :DD
-
Okay, will do! :D
-

Ozzy: "Cut off all that salad, Strut! That mess is for Weedwackers, not you!"
Sorry, I just had to, XD
By the way, Molly. I just got around to looking around your DeviantArt. I think there's just a few drawings up there right now, right? "Longneck family" is pretty good, and I see you got your avatar from that very drawing. :DD I think 'One Night in a Cold Time..." is my favorite, though. It just looks like a beautiful scene. So romantic, actually. :yes

Yeah, since I only really got back into LBT around late October, then didn't really think about fanart until late November, and I don't really get the time to draw often, mostly with school, family and other hobbies getting in the way. I'll try my best to keep it coming, though.
Ah yes, my personal favourite is "One night in a cold time" too. Since I'm such a big fan of Littlefoot's grandparents, I like to wonder about what their past was like. The only thing we know about Grandpa is that he was s story speaker in his day and was told stories by his own grandfather (maybe he was a story speaker too? :D), and we pretty much know nothing about Grandma, so... gives me an excuse to make random stuff up! :lol
Funny, I just looked back to that one picture, and now I've drawn another piece with Littlefoot's grandparents as kids. I've shown the sketch to a couple of my friends and they think it's pretty cute. So, more romance, I guess... maybe. :DD

Aww, why not, Oz? Gren stuff is so good :(
lol
@Molly: I had a chance to look at your dA page, and I was quite impressed! I loved your pics with the grandparents, they were so tranquil and sweet, and beuaifully drawn^^

Thanks a lot, Strut! I honestly thought that my art wasn't that great... but that might just be me never having faith in myself. :lol
I've just looked through your dA. Sorry if I spammed your inbox, but I really love your art, especially with the flyers! :smile
-
Haha, no worries, I enjoy having people comment on my work^^
You already do amazing work, and it doesn't hurt to take pride in a job well done :D
-
I'm just glad for whatever feedback I get, since I don't often get that much. :lol
Thanks, and I suppose it doesn't. It does take a while to get it done sometimes, and I guess it's the effort that counts for me. :DD
