How do you like my new Avatar??

It took a few days of trial and error, but I was finally able to come up with something that meets this sites rather stringent requirements as far as the physical dimensions and size are concerned. Hope y'all enjoy it,,, :D :D

its nice. but why do you ask? the only one whos opinion maters is your own.

Cool! 8)
I know what you mean, I had a hard time to fullfill the requirements, a little stretch from here, a little more there...
I wonder if you draw it with the computer directly, cause if you did let me congrats you for a wonderful job!
Now that I'm getting used to the drawing maybe I'll try to make a new avatar too.
Wish me luck! :)

To answer your question; the picture itself was not computer drawn, but was instead drawn by hand some years ago (in fact more than twenty years ago). The original is actually a black & white pencil sketch that I scanned into the computer. Then using Adobe Photoshop Elements v3.0, I added the color and voila!! the end product that you can now enjoy. :D :D

TWENTY YEARS AGO!!! :shock: (I'm feeling like a kiddo :) ) You draw that so many years ago, why don't you draw something for the fan art?. New artists are always welcome and I want to see more of you.
Keep at it! :wink:

To say the same, Twenty years`s ago!

That avatar pic, is as old as the movie and is a classic in I`ts own right and we enjoy it also :D

Click-on the following link and you can indeed see more of the works that I have produced and submitted. Unfortunately due to time constraints, I do not have as much free time to sit down and really sketch as I would like. I thank you for your encouraging words just the same though... :D

Nice, very engaging avvy. :D

Wow, so, you're art is fabuloso. I mean really, but I have a question. I've noticed that same watermark you use to "sig" your pieces of art with other names on it on other people's art, so does that mean there's a stamp you get if you post or if you request it or something? If that didn't come across in understandable english I apologize. It's entirely too late in the evening considering, and I'm on some kind of a sugar high, which is odd for me since I don't take in much sugar. But anyway. Tootles!

To Tortillian,

I thank you for your appreciation. In answer to your question about the watermark, that is something that I myself have no control over. Apparently that is something that is done when one submits fan-art to the site. If you have further questions about this, I would suggest taking the matter up with the site sdministrator himself... :)

Looks great :) , my favorite is "Justin-Ages-Brisby, color.

If you have any spare art around, I would love to have some on my site, I`ve linked to Simon`s art gallery, I try not to show the same pics that are on his massive art site . If you have more, my address is in the Secret Of NIMH fan-art on my my site. :)

Just visit the Mouse Hole below. 8)

Er, yeah. I used to do that back when I was more paranoid about people stealing my bandwidth/images. It turned out to be more trouble than it was worth. Especially now that I regularly get an average of 2-5 new pieces of art per day. :shock:

Hi Whiskers,

I'm sorry that at this time i do not have any spare art as you put it lying around. However should i find the time to sketch some more, I'll let you know first thing... OK??

Whoa... I can see why you'd let that slide off. I guess you probably don't have anything to worry about anyway, right? I'm impressed at the submission rate though... geez. :)

Haha, you make it sound like I've submitted a formal challenge. :wink: We're very fortunate and blessed to have an attentive administrator, yah?

i agree with tort as well as being blessed with a group that is understanding and very open to new ideas makes this site great for even those who dont yet know about secret of nimh. to allow new people an experience they will never forget.
