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

Finally, I finished the drawing of my RPG character Ecco. It¥s my first picture I drew freehand ever. So, I am really happy with the result :)

Hello:
 Awesome, finally a pic of Ecco!
 I was looking forward to see a pic of him, he looks good and he even has the scar on his shoulder... I wish I could draw like this, but my knowledge of Photoshop is limited to editing starship textures and editing/creating of alpha channels (an illumination layer for windows and things like that :DD ).
 I look forward to see more!

Sure thing. :yes  And an advice for you mate ;-) Just watch many films with persons, animals in it, you want to draw. Than you slowly get a picture of the things, you want to draw. I was very happy as I drew that. I didn¥t think it would turn out that good. :)

Hello:
 Thanks for the advice, I'll see what can I do, but university can really take time from you :blink:, and since I am working with some Battlestar Galactica ships for the game "Star Trek: Armada2", that can take time too, but I love how they look :wow.
 I hope I may start doing what you mention as soon as possible, and since I got reference pics of kid Fast-bitters, maybe one day I'll be able to post a pic of my character Cayso :D .

My one, no. Well, I thought I¥d know any kind of dino which looks like that. But, after a talk with Kacie, there isn¥t one I guess. It is supposed to be a swimmer, so. I am not sure.

It looks like a type of dino that could have existed, or one similar.

Hello:
 What you say that? if you want you can always retouch your pics, if not, then your new pics will not be anything but better pics... as you gain experience. I know I cannot say that about my drawings, but I do know how experience can help get things better, since you have seen how the starships look in my pc, right Nimrod? ;) .
 You will go better with each pic, keep it up!

No, it doesn't matter.  There could have been a dino like that.  And maybe there was but they've not found any fossils yet of it.
