It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

The Traveler's Visitors
The chips of spun sugar and diamond continued to float down across the barren landscape, making deep drifts of fallen stars. The frigid flakes had been falling for several hours, though their numbers had been decreasing steadily for some time. The sun in the northern sky could be seen nearing the horizon through what was left of the gray clouds. Night was approaching, and little stirred across the barren expanse of snow, save for a lone figure trudging its way determinedly over the unmarked landscape of white.

Covered by a black cloak from head to toe, little could be told about the intruder in this serene scene. They were armed with a dar

I can't imagine anything more awesome than seeing your own stock being used so widely, in so many ways - that is, other than selling and making loads of money out of one of your own pictures, lol!!!!

You have excellent stock, and many excellent artists using it!

~Iardacil-stock Jul 4, 2007 Photographer

Thanks.. There is not all pictures here.. I had too much time in work.. so I was just doing things I had planned.. like going trough all the works had made

(and I am sad to say that most of them for made for my contest)

=AnnaKirsten Jul 4, 2007 General Artist

But your contest will have highlighted your stock, and so as a result, I'm sure more people will start using it.. It takes time to get anything new started, so don't lose heart!

~Iardacil-stock Jul 4, 2007 Photographer

I won't.. I try..

~RenaissanceMoonDance Feb 18, 2007

wow, I never knew about the knee high thing. It's always good to read journals and comments, teheh.

anyway another suggestion, if it's possible, to set up infront of a window - i mean so the natural light can shine in on you. If you are comfortable with people being able to peer in, or you have a decent, undistrubed window.

and photos, well I perfer just leafing through photos and not packages, but that's just me, and packages wouldn't stop me from looking.
and that new faery queen theme, that would do well outside when it gets warm. If you can get to a brook or small river that would do well.
But the best thing to do, when you have no requests, it just try try try, anything that you think of.

~Iardacil-stock Feb 18, 2007 Photographer

thanks..

I do not have no change to but things to near window and there is so few sunlight at the moment... I do not remember any clear wheater for long time...

And I try to remmeber your sugsessions.. thanks

~marqued-skin Feb 15, 2007

Your outside shots are nice, especially with the lighting. Perhaps something involving more movement of some sort...perhaps the hair gently blowing in a breeze or the long skirt moving. Also, something implying interaction with some sort of animal(horse, dog, falcon, etc). As for packages vs. single uploads-whichever works best for you.(I prefer single shots so I'm not downloading extra stuff onto my comp.) Just wee suggestions-your stock really is nice already. Oh, the props are very helpful, also. Thanks bunches for your hard work!

~Iardacil-stock Feb 15, 2007 Photographer

Thanks for those advices... I am sure props would do nice job but what kind of props would be useful? What kind of things?

And I will try to get more outside stock when the winter is over...

~marqued-skin Mar 1, 2007

Hmmm...candles, perhaps the long dinner type along with the little tea lights...hair brushes. Large long handled paint brushes, walking sticks or brooms. Something wand-like, perhaps. Bowls. Long stemmed flowers of some sort, as well as small posie-like bunches. Hope this is helpful. Have a great day!

*rixpix Feb 15, 2007

OK try these suggestions
No on-camera flash - This should be rules 1 thru 10
If you use flash try to diffuse it and move it to one side or the other. Makes better images to draw and paint from.
Also try lowering your camera a bit you - are getting short legs from too high view angle
Camera on a tripod 24 to 30 inches high will help a lot. See: [link]
This is a photoshopped fix of another stock image that suffered from too high camera angle.

As for costumes - I prefer contemporary street and stylish dress-up outfits.

Keep posting I will get to your stock before long.

good luck
regards
Richard
