For the paleoart group, the art has to be digitally altered in some way? Sorry, I get confused easily.

dracontes In reply to PaleoShack [2017-08-01 21:27:42 +0000 UTC]

Scans/photos of traditional artwork usually have some issues that don't appear on the work itself (stray hairs and whatnot). Other issues however do. Liquid spillage is an instance in that regard. In any case, those generally don't look particularly good, so I request that they be mitigated with digital editing so your work's presentation is sufficiently adept.

Having a quick look at your work, it does need cropping, retouching and probably a better lighting for its photography. You can find several free software options for the first two actions here, Comparison of raster graphics editors - Wikipedia . I hear the GIMP is pretty popular for what I request.

You mean Muro ? You're welcome to try it out, though it doesn't look like it has a clone brush.

Hey! Since you favorited some of my dino art, I thought I'd let you know I'm doing a Kickstarter for my dinosaur novel Mark of the Conifer, which is live! www.kickstarter.com/projects/9…
You can also see more art for it here: www.facebook.com/markoftheconi…
Hope to see you there!

I respect your decision on leaving FB chat and not here to say anything against here. I had a impression you were interested in the "No lips" paper me and some others are working on, and want to send you the paper when it comes out. What method do you think is the best way to contact you when the paper comes out?

Much obliged for your comprehension.
I'd be interested in the English version indeed. You can email it to Dracontes(at)gmail(dot)com . Thank you for your consideration :) (Smile)

Unfortunately:
Bullet; Green Money is rather tight for me at this stage in life.
I don't do videogames.
I haven't heard the best things about your outfit.

It certainly doesn't assuage my reticence regarding how your group handles others' intellectual property when the most costly pledges include the pledgor doing creative work for you. I could also go on about what takes me aback regarding the concepts that have been pointed out to me so far but I get the impression that wouldn't move you and your cohorts in the direction I'd care for.

I did see it, but in between all the stuff currently preoccupying me, I didn't find anything opportune to say about it yet. Well, at least I can say the credit you gave is appropriate.
