What do you think?

And yes, I'm a black and white fanatic.

Wow. That was pretty neat. How did you make it? I really, really like it.

A Bardic -and- an Artisanal?

Geez.




(Yes it's very nice )

Same way I make most of my pics. Secondlife.com
It's a game made by and driven by players. It's got it's own currency (Which you can convert to and from actual money). I build (shapes - hair sections and skirt flaps) and design textures (i.e. the image on the shape of the clothes that makes it actually look like clothes..).
Best game ever next to Lusternia.
It provided the base, while I did the skin, hair, and clothing in photoshop and uploaded it to the game and applied it to the character I designed as a base for Somaria.
Then I took out a wash backboard that I also made and took screen shots of about a million different poses before going back and choosing that one to edit further.

I thought those were for art completely made from scratch. I had a bit of help from another game.

Since you actually sort of pay for your content in second life, you could actually use it for artistic, but not bardic, since it's someone elses quote. You just have to own the rights to the art, you don't actually have to have drawn it yourself.

Just make sure you didn't use any pre-made template designs. There was a big stink over that on Achaea when someone was using a 3D program as their artisanal and they used like a staff that came with the program.

Just be careful.

Well that seems silly to me. I think anything that -comes with the program- should be usable.

Brushes and textures and stuff that you download from deviantART that other people make are a different story, but if something comes with the program you bought (or didn't buy, if it's licensed under GNU or something) doesn't seem right.

That's like saying you aren't allowed to use the special effects brushes that come with photoshop, even though they are a basic part of the package and one of the reasons you actually buy it in the first place, and one of the reasons you would actually use Photoshop over another program...like paint.

I see. I'll submit it then and see what happens.

Very nice!

That's really good!

Thank you!

Edit: To Lekius too!

Quoting a Roman dictator and war hero is unlikely to work IC.

Not really supposed to be IC. It's more of relating to Somaria as a character. Her niche so to speak.

Which would be a more cutting criticism if he was, indeed, a dictator and a war hero. He was actually an orator, a philosopher, and a lawyer.

Was afraid I had been going crazy. Knew what G said wasn't exactly right. =/

I think it's pretty damn good, and worth a merit.

That's only my opinion, though.

Then don't submit it to the artisinal contest.

Artisinal is specifically and IC thing.

Never...ever going back to second life after a Naked, furry female with two penises started bothering me...
