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

Hello:
 Mmmm I agree, Sauni, maybe with some good colouring you'll really see they are not crappy ;)

That sounds like a good idea to me.

If you are serious about calling your own work crappy Shauni, can you be a little more specific on what part of your work you are not satisfied with?

Aw, thanks everyone. I really appreciate it.  :D

As for coloring, nyer... I'm gonna admit I'm not the best coloring person there is. If I colored the sketches in, wouldn't turn out so well. I've got no sense of shading or lineart style. I've ruined many awesome-looking sketches simply by coloring...And with lack of anything but a crappy trial-over program where I have to screenshot everything I color, and since I only have a mouse to work with, it usually just involves a crappy airbrushing. xD

..Which is quite evident on my Deviantart selections that I've actually taken time to color in.  =P

Why don't I like 'em?

Hrm, dunno.... =x I suppose it's because I couldn't draw them on my own, really. I'm just still a little disappointed in myself that I have to be staring at reference in order to draw anything correctly, meaning I have to print out pictures of the poses I want too sometimes with other art.  :lol

Maybe you could ask someone to color them for you?

And I use references sometimes when drawing myself. I don't see a problem with it, personally.

You can ask someone else if they'd color your pictures if you'd like.

Also as for needing to use models, many famous artists have had to use models.  One modern one, though likely most here never heard of him since most do not read comics, is Alex Ross, who does photo realistic pictures where his artwork looks like it's a photograph.  He uses models.  I think the guy who does the Dinotopia books uses models also, though I'm not sure.

Hello:
 There is nothing wrong to use models, in fact you may use models for your drawings but with no doubts your own drawing will serve as models for other artists too ;) .
