A sample picture and introduction.

Hello again. May I ask what troubles you, or what makes you tired? Or is it just the stress of the daily grind?

And yes, I suppose your right. The saying is true. I already have a little over 200 members, and not even that much content. I could just imagine how many more members I could have over the course of time. In the thousands, even. Yep, I'll definitely keep doing what I'm doing. As its the natural thing to do.

Hi, I havn't any troubles, it was late in the evening when I last posted, the end of the day for me, that's why I was tired, nothing special or out of the ordinary, just fatigue.

Seeya later 😎

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Don't overwork yourself. 🙂


Until next time.


To anyone and everyone-

I know alot of people have read this thread. And maybe its because I'm new here that I'm only attracting a small audiance. However, I'm sure someone has a comment or question, or concern and isn't voicing it. I have a 6th sense for those sort of things. Go ahead and post. I won't hurt you. 😛

[ralzeil]

LOL, I'll keep that in mind, thanks 😎

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Well, I say it for your benefit. We wouldn't want you having a nervous breakdown. 😛

Some good works, O Celtic one!

[Celtic_Emperor]

Thank you. 🙂

I'm just getting started. 🙂

I also barely realized (being new to Yahoo and groups and all) that Yahoo did that resizing to make the pictures smaller for everyone but the owner. But as I've posted on my group, I've taken care of that problem pretty much.

Thank you again for the post and the compliment. 🙂

Thanks for the full size pic, it's a shame yahoo compacts the pics now, they never used to back when yahoo groups was yahoo clubs, every pic was at full size then, but they went and changed everything around and now we pretty much have to squint our eyes to see them.
At least you have a solution to this inconvenience, thankyou Damien 😎

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

You're welcome. 🙂

It really is a shame that this has happened. Yahoo Groups must be desperate for people to actually pay for it that they're stripping it of everything it has. Luckily I wasn't around yet when this bitter dispute was happening with the whole hacking thing and reprocussions. But at least I, and other groups, have a way of presenting full-sized pictures to everyone.

While theres not enough room to put all of the pictures in full size, theres enough for the favorite ones. In some ways, its actually better this way.

But even before I joined Yahoo Groups I was going to make a site for my artwork. And I'm still going to, so this whole issue with Yahoo is yet another incentive to make a site. Making and having my own independant site is very advantagous in many ways.

For now however, Yahoo will do just fine. This small problem isn't going to get between my art and the people that want to see it. And most of my pictures there are only hindered a little or aren't hindered at all by the resizing. Its usually only the larger pictures that are wide that really need to be seen in full-size and where there is a problem viewing them and the quality isn't so good.

What full-sized pictures will go into the file I made for them in the files section will depend on public opinion and public favorites, as well as pictures I feel need to be seen in full size. Instead of seeing this as a bad thing, it was so easy to turn it around and make it a good thing.

People often fret about running out of room and having to make another group. I don't worry about that. If I run out of room, I'll simply make another group and use the old one for different things. I'm resourceful that way. And the more groups you have, the more you may be known.

Hello again all.

I have an update on my group. I uploaded a new picture of Lilith Aensland that I drew. Its my first time drawing her. And I decided to draw her without her boots on. I believe it makes the picture more cute that way, since shes a cute character.

Anyways, I just wanted to announce that. I also added this picture and the Chun-Li tickling Cammy one to the files section also so they can be viewed by everyone in FULL-sized. (Its a shame I and everyone else that has a group has to go through the extra trouble because of Yahoo, but oh well. Its worth it.)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone, and happy holidays.

I've uploaded a Christmas picture to the files section of my group. I hope you all like it.


God bless,

[ralzeil]

Thanks Damien, and a Merry Christmas to you too.

Well hello.

I was wondering when I'd have to stop talking to myself. I know people read this thread, the least they could do is acknowledge my existance.

I look at where all their attention is diverted, and at that artwork, and I wonder whats so special about it. My work is just as good if not better. The only thing those other artists have going for them is that people know them and they probably advertize all over the internet.

If what I've just said was a little rude, I can say the same thing about everyone that has read this thread. While noone is obligated to post in it or even read it, this crap about this forum being welcoming couldn't be farther from the truth.

I doubt anyone could have missed this thread. And if they actually do look at my artwork, and do save it, and don't even say anything to me, well thats pretty selfish, and just taking advantage of my generousity.

Here I am going out of my way to draw something out of my element, and I'm given little to no regard. I translate this as only two possible things- My artwork sucks, and they don't have the brass to say it, or my artwork is so good its intimidating.

I doubt anyone can say that they missed this thread. Its been around longer than alot of these other threads have. The only reason its three pages long is because of the back and forth conversations between you and I and about maybe 2 other individuals. And when its found its way back up to the top of the list where its clearly visible, its still not addressed whether it be out of curiousity, or due process by other people.

If I have to do something drastic like challenge these other anime-style artists, and surely beat them in a drawing competition and maybe THAT will get everyone's attention, then maybe I'll just do that.

Sleeping giant my friend, sleeping giant.


And if anyone is going to respond with "You've got problems", "get a life" or something of that nature, rest assured I don't have problems and I do have a great life. Because this isn't about me being petty at all. So I'll save people that will respond like that the trouble of posting, because I don't want to hear it.


If this keeps continuing, maybe I should just leave and go to where my work will be appriciated. This forum isn't the only medium to spread the word. I'm not being arrogant when I say my artwork is too good not to be paid attention to. I've seen the other anime-style artists here, and what they are capable of. I can MORE than compete, I can dominate. Maybe thats what I need to do to make a name for myself, or get a mere reply. Sheesh!


- Damien


PS: I'm intitled to this. So don't get too mad. 😛

Oh, and Merry Christmas to all, again. 🙂

 

[Drago69]

yo

I actually can say I missed this thread, because I did. I don't really look on the boards as often as I used to, due to the fact that my computer sucks dong. Getting a new one soon, so it's all good. Just so you know, your my new favorite anime artist 🙂 I love your work so far, it's good, great, grand, wonderful, etc.

Anyway, I think you get the point, and since you don't work the fetish-driven way, it's very very good that your drawing this stuff.

Ah well, can't give out too much praise tonight, gotta hold some back for your next great picture drawing happy time.

(to other anime artists ((mostly tickling artists i guess, since they are MOSTLY who visit)) out there, your all great too)

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

You are a gentleman, sir.

And I already took into account the fact that there are people that really did miss this thread. So to them, I apologize, and I don't include them in the above statements.

Thank you for the compliments. Thats more nice than I thought. Though its a shame I had to rant just to make a point. -__-

 

[ralzeil]

Hello Damien, I hope you and everyone else had a great Christmas, I know I did.

I can understand where you are coming from, I would get annoyed too if I was in your shoes and hardly anyone was giving any recognition. How hard could it be to write a few words just to show your criticism and/or appreciation of the work?, especially if you took the time to go and read the thread, look at the artwork, and then save it.

As far as challenging other artists goes, that would be something fun to see, I dont think it's ever happened here before on the TMF, I definately think that would get everyones attention, but as replies go, it's entirely up to the individuals discretion to do so.

I think you are right though, it's probably due to the fact that this thread is now three pages long, and people dont feel the need to give any input, so my advice is to start a new thread with your next update, and hopefully you will get some more replies.

I personally would like you to stay with the TMF, but there is nothing stopping you from going to other forums and showing your work there too, which is probably a good idea in my opinion.

With any luck you will be receiving alot more attention from here on in, I wish you and everyone else a Happy New Year, and a safe holiday.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

That had class man, good show. Christmas is over, but happy holidays to you again anyways.

And yes, I fully understand what I need to do and what I will. It did get aggrivating though. Thank you for understanding where I'm coming from with this.

As far as the challenge, hey, thats not such a bad idea. My competitive side would like that very much.

Its only a matter of calling certain folks out and seeing if they have the nerve or mettle to face me. 😀

[ralzeil]

Yes, lay down the gauntlet to any artist who thinks they have what it takes to compete, this is going to get interesting...
