Oh! This Saturday is my last race, so I should be able to start work on that art meme thingy! It'll be fun.

You're most welcome. .taintplar? is a fun intriguing concept that is well exectuted. I love the value, texture, and the fade to obscurity. I feel that the outstretched hand is a bit over elongated, but that by no means subtracts from the piece. It's excellent high quality work!

Oh, and for the self advertising / "explanation" (no worries, I do it all the time! ) you want to use h ref tags. For yours you'd use:

Just leave out the spaces and...

Don't like what? The band or the username? I see that you also got your icon from Project 86.

Yeah, Falling Up's "Captiva" came out this past Tuesday! I haven't had the time to look into it yet, but I'm psyched!

Oh, and that reminds me, I still need to read your stuff... Thanks for keeping up your end of the bargin a nd reminding me. I'll try to uphold my part asap.

Illis In reply to Mortuorio [2007-08-27 19:32:02 +0000 UTC]

I would agree to a degree, but I totally believe in predestination. Things might seem like accidents to us, but...

For example, on my mission trip to Mexico I waited the entire week to go to the battered women's shelter. When it was the day/time for my group to go, the van left without me! A mistake right? I was fairly upset, and I tried to go about and help elsewhere, but I couldn't. Finally, I saw Jeff working with gravel (hard physical labor) and enjoying it. Through my situation, I decided that my attitude needed to change. Maybe my heart wasn't right for the women's shelter until afterwards.

Just a thought (plus, I love reliving all of my Mexico trip, so thanks)!

Shelob Emerging is an obvious work of art. It might help that I'm a bit of a Tolkien fan. It might also help that I started my stay here at deviantart with fractals. This one is especially... dare I say it... FRACTALICIOUS! Me likes, so please keep up the inspirational awesomeness!

Definitely! I loved using Apoph when I first started here, and I never got near that good (I couldn't use the math either). I've made plants (not quite sure how), the Enterprise, and a D&D style ring... however, Colorful Dragon is a work of art that deserves recognition, and I don't know if I'd of found it had it not been featured. Congratulations and I hope that this gets you the recognition that you deserve!
