  • Art classes + cinema classes (ie lighting techniques) should make a fascinated daughter, but then there's summer laziness and a (still teen in spite of being almost 21) aversion to challenges. Especially if Mom should dare to say "dare you" or some such. :P

    I know she could.

    Yes...he would do well in my menagerie.  *Grin!*

  • Thanks for sharing those links Nano, the shadow art and sound sculpture are quite amazing. Followed the links. Some of the other shadow art pieces are very clever. Not so sure about the severed heads though!

    So far Daz site seems a step backwards rather than 'new and improved'. The 'promotions' page is definitely buggy, tells me I'm not logged in and have things in my cart when the opposite is true of both cases; and the other pages seem to fluctuate between working/not. The much lauded zip file downloads also only appear to be for mac users, leastwise the ones I got were. I was expecting something along the lines of the rendo downloads with a nice file system I could copy to my preferred location.
  • That sure is one sexy beast Grim!

    I hoped people would like these. I aims to provide some inspiration and relief from drugery.

  • Maybe this will be the charmed third time where they'll learn to make sure something is finished (at least 95%) before launching? One can only hope.
  • We shall see. For the sake of the vendors and customers I certainly hope so.

    I'm sure they'll have a perfectly good explanation on Monday for all the people posting complaints in the forum this weekend.

  • Except that the forums aren't working either, last time I checked... Nothing really is. At all.
  • Perhaps Nan should email Ozzfest and tell him that the whole world hasn't fallen apart while he's off on his honeymoon. Just Daz. Poor guy was poking into the TAS thread there every now and then and now there's nothing new to see.

    Not much point in me signing back up yet then. I was mostly poking around to find links that folks might find useful.
  • Except that the forums aren't working either, last time I checked... Nothing really is. At all.



    Noticed that too. They probably turned access off so that they weren't inundated with complaints. They don't seem to have fixed anything at all over the weekend. Perhaps they are blissfully unaware there is anything wrong....due to no forum posts.

    He stops by here and lurks now and then, so I expect he's figured it out. He's probably happy he got his own store working about now.

    Come to think of it, I hope he had a fabulous time. :)

  • ...i have not checked again, but this moring daz forums were
    STILL read only, you can't stay logged in, you can't do squat.
    did they ____ the poodle on this or what?
    first they kill artzone in october...
    then they axe their good ceo...
    now this.

    thank god for private sites and forums like these!

    that render of blue jeans guy, reminds me of doing
    figure study drawing in high school. ok, the model was
    younger, blond, and not a bad boy looking type, but
    the posture was the same and the jeans were as close to
    popping buttons. his name was dave, is what i remember.
    i loved doing figure study and modelling for it as well...

    ok, that was just random commenting.
    still no update on ransoming our domain name back yet :(
    and i seem to have something akin to travellers' flu, only
    i haven't left the place in ages. (sigh)
    it feels like a cross between the flu and live birth.
    neither are pleasant.
    ~^..^~ ladyfur
  • {{{hugs}}} GOod luck with the domain problem.
  • Ladyfur: Sorry to hear the domain name problem is still not unravelling. Hope the flu clears up :hugs: and passes the hot lemon and honey.

    More amazing creative talent. I especially like the weasel. Can't imagine how many hours went into his 'fur'.

    Interesting use for old coins,Nano. The work surface must make an interesting talking point at mealtimes.

    So I have a link to share. Maybe not in quite the same league, but love the way one sand picture is morphed into another. Sand Art
