The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Oh yeah, CaptainArvens was my name on deviantart when I was still a member of it.  There was a lot of art thievery around so I had my username on a lot of the stuff...

Lovely!
I knew your land before time pictures and some of the others, but here are several which I have never seen before. Your racoons, foxes, bears and squirels look really cute  :yes

Aww...your animal characters look so cute!  :D

I think I've seen some of those before...i think. Memory escapes me...

Some nice touchs on the LBT ones. You have a very light technique with pencils it seems.

Looks great Petrie! Thanks for sharing those with us!  :^.^:

They're really wonderful, Arvens! (I've noticed they call you like that. Can I?) The animals remind me of some cartoon named Franklin. Do you know him? If you don't, he's a turtle who has many friends. (Nothing to do with this forum, but that's fine.) Stay cool! ;)

Yep, I've heard of that show and watched an episode or two.  The style is similar I agree, but I wasn't basing the designs of off Franklin.  Actually, Ratiasu may realize it depending on how long he's been reading Ranger Rick magazines, but the style actually comes from there.  I followed the artwork from the magazines printed in the 80s and 90s (its changed recently).

Did you see the dates on those?  2000 or 2001....last thing I did was a sketch for a friend when we were role playing with our rabbit and otter characters....

Original sketch:




My only attempt at computer art (and Photoshop Elements)




These were both in 2004 so we're almost talking three years now...no art since then. :(  I'd really like to try and get back into it.  I had a fun time with this.
