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

If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been making drawings like these?
I've been drawing since I was 6 years of age (or maybe even younger, according to mother dearest) and I've been heavily detailing with pencils and pens since I was in middle school

my attempt with colors started very recently (weeks prior to months) 'Just Relaxing' was my first success piece with colored pencils.

And right now, I'm working on a painted piece which so far has been a far more rewarding experience than with my pieces in colored pencils... the current work in progress makes the drawing featured in this thread look like a kindergarten and a chimpanzee did it with crayons... in short, acrylic paint looks far more superior than colored pencil =P

and to even quote my four year old nephew: "It looks like its in a movie!" a quote that seems to further my ambition.

that piece will be posted very soon... so keep your eyes peeled

painting sounds harder then using crayons or colored pencils.

I can't wait to see it :D I'm sure it will be as good as the one above, or possibly even better.
