Hiya.

 

I sorta disappeared after the last GGT. Sorry about that. But worry no more! For I'm officially retiring 'Cassafras' on this date (10/13/13). I know I've generally been on and off, but at this point I'm basically done with Fallensword.

 

Some of you might ask, "But why?!?!" (or not, just felt like exaggerating). For starters, I haven't touched GIMP in a couple of months so, eh. Next, I've kinda just stopped liking the game in general and really only keep in touch with one person nowadays.

 

But the biggest reason? I'm currently a senior in high school this year so I'm doing all the fun stuff like applying to colleges, marching band, art projects, and general balancing of my academics and extra-curricular. Basically, my free time is spent goofing off or sleeping...mainly the latter. FS has become a memory in my head.

 

That doesn't mean I won't forget any of you though! This forum is essentially where I began thinking of my career choices and played a bigger part of my life than many might think. So to all the wonderful artists that have been on here: Thanks.

 

To my friends/associates/colleagues/pals/however you relate to me: Keep being that awesome bunch of people that I remember.

 

To those that I've never met: Sorry I didn't stay on long enough to greet and meet you! If you've managed to make your way here, I guarantee you'll have a good time.

 

Well, I suppose that's it. Maybe I'll pop on once in a blue moon just to mess with you guys hehe.

 

Thanks for four years of fun!~Cassafras

 

 

Whelp, I just noticed all of this change after getting a 403 error a couple of times since I had the forum bookmarked. Since I just got on, I won't really make an official opinion until some time has passed.

 

My first impression...I dunno, I kinda liked the more plain background of the original forums. All the pics are kinda distracting now. Was a bit weird making a new account to merge with the FS one, but I guess it makes sense so everyone doesn't have a bunch of accounts floating about. I like the new set up of options for posting, but I do miss some of those smilies.

 

This guy however is totally me:

 

I think that's it for now, haven't had much time to poke around. Oh and sorry I really haven't been around. Last marking period just started, still have no idea what schools to look at, and drumline+school=stressful and sleepy me. I haven't even had time to think and make a good graphic since the GGT. I've been sorta thinking more on school art projects instead. I'll be back eventually.

if i could continue uploading there i would and thats all i know :oops:

I've got over 1000 files uploaded to my photobucket with only 23% of my storage used in 3 years. I don't think there's anyway you could have filled up 2 GB that fast.

Try checking your account status Username->User Settings->Account

That should let you check how much storage you used. If there's still a lot of space it might be a problem with how you're uploading or something. Might want to get help from the company support then.

YEAH I KNOW IT'S ANOTHER POP OUT GRAPHIC OKAY THANKS

I don't get a lot of pop out stuff, nor can I really do it well, so this looks really awesome! Very unique too might I say! Thanks very much Sah

Wow was not expecting that to happen! Congrats to all of us!

It's perfectly fine with me about the FSP. Quite frankly I just enjoyed competing. Thanks for being a great host Tree!

Well with a whole month I'll try to get at least one entry in.

Besides, I love LoL renders

Should be in before I go to bed tomorrow (go me for cutting it close again)

Cassafras - lady stuff

I can only wonder what falls under "lady stuff"

Honestly as long as it isn't a pastel pink color I'm okay with anything. And just because I'm female doesn't mean I'm not okay with sigs with guys in them, so don't let that hinder you.

I've not got time to compete in this round unfortunately. My laptop broke and my replacement only came on Wednesday and then I'm working nights and I'm away for the weekend.

Since this is the only round where extensions are not allowed, I'm out.

I see no reason not to extend. Besides, I'd much rather compete and earn a place in the top 3 rather than a guaranteed spot.

Of course though, it's really up to Tree.

And I was so excited to sit out and observe

Whelp, I'm not dealing with writing an 10 page rough draft anymore..although I just contracted a head cold...

Let's see if this underdog can top herself.

Heh, glad you took up the challenge anyway! You can ask me to change the stock next time Thank you very much!

I'll take one

Would like to see what you can do.

Man, I've always really wanted to try digital painting, but the closest I've gotten to doing that is really just coloring stuff like my winter GGT entry.

Well there's this too but it's still a WIP. http://i50.tinypic.com/b5obix.png

Besides what the others have said, it would have been nice if there was a definite foreground, middleground, background. It has a very flat appearance as everything seems to be on the same level.

I still like it though, albeit I could go for something with less pink

:shock: Still can't figure out how I managed to get this far heh.

Alright, let's see what I can do with this...

gambit?

Yep! When I was younger a friend of the family had this x-men video game (don't ask me which one) and I had a tendency to play him or Mystique.

Anyways, I thought he looked a bit insane in this render, but then I had some weird idea of adding celtic rune circles. No clue why, I just thought it'd work.

Oh and sorry it came out a little dark Roan. I've had tendencies lately of making really strong lighting so I've been toning it done gradually. Ironically this has been happening with some of my studio class work

Eh I was going for crazy gambler, but I think I turned it into something else...



I'll make a better one tomorrow

Alright, thanks a lot guys. Sent it in, thanks for understanding. :')

We're such a caring community ain't we? Feel better soon mate!

Roan-Would love if you could make something based on The Walking Dead (the show not the comic), specifically Daryl Dixon/Norman Reedus. I've been trying to make something myself but haven't been faring well. If it isn't working out, you can do anything else related to Norman Reedus or go with your own instincts on what to make. I'm okay with either gender so don't worry about that

I think I'll have some time

Gimp mask.

I was actually horrified that this is on hottopic.

I had a guess you meant that after reading the quotes a couple times.

I don't even wanna know about that last comment. I already know that store can be cool and terrifying at the same time.

I am pulling out my whip! :!:

YAY!!! you got the leather ready too?? :?: :?:

This is what I think all GIMP users are like.

Can't figure out whether to be offended or amused...

Got my entry in earlier. Not turned in last minute for once!

I know, not a render, I would love this though if you can do it

Nice sig by the way, but I'll leave it for someone else.

I always get it in last minute XD Trust me though I am working on it!
