RoyLover's here! Now it's a party. B)

Hi, Art! Welcome!

Ah, I see. :3 I hate those battery-based pens. They're simply not reliable at all. XP My high school used those and I just wanted to tell the administration to quit being cheap and buy us real tablets. (In our case, we definitely had the money, so they shouldn't have been cutting corners.) I caved and just started lugging my own to class. XD

Hi, Starwolf! Nice to see you. :)

Awesome! It's Tir! As I mentioned on dA, the tablet piece is great! But that's got me wondering... What were you using before? Just a different brand? Or... magic? :o "Meh" as in... mehgnificent! XD

Hey! It's that girl with the same birthday as me! Hello, RoyLover! Nice to see you~!

Hi there, Mage Knight!

As I mentioned in your introduction thread, I'm glad you decided to post here. You have a lot of talent and potential! :3

Hi, Saaji! Glad you decided to join up!

Contest #1 Begins Saturday November 1st 2008 and ends Saturday December 13th 2008 Entries Received: 5 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The prompt for this contest is reflective of the season. As artists, it's your job to work with and convey the theme... ...Cold Weather! You can tackle this prompt from all sorts of different angles, but just to get the ideas flowing, I've included a few suggestions to start you all off. Feel free to use them, combine them, tweak them, or come up with something else. Weather: Frost, snow, ice, flurries, blizzards, yellow-red-orange leaves, etc. Attire: Coats, gloves, mittens, hats, scarves, boots and the rest. Activities: Raking leaves, baking holiday treats, drinking something warm, picking apples, snowball fights, building snowmen, making snow angles. Holidays: Any of the numerous holidays that fall within November and December. (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve, snow days, etc.) Have fun and good luck! If you have any questions, look at the general guidelines in the post above, or PM me if I still haven't covered your concern. This thread will also remain open for questions and comments. :)

Art Contests! Hi, everyone! This concept originally got started on FESS, but I wanted to bring it over here so that everyone has a chance to take part. The premise is simple; for each contest that takes place within this thread, I'll post a prompt for the entries to be based on, and a date by which entries must be completed and submitted, along with any other necessary information. In general, the prompts will be broad, and the contest will be open to any and all types of style, medium and appropriate subject matter. At the end of each submission period, I will select the winning entry based on a number of factors, including creativity, quality, and reflection of the prompt. Pretty simple, right? :D Please check out the guidelines below for some general specifications: Entries can be comprised of any subject matter you like, so long as it reflects the prompt in some way, and complies with what SF considers age-appropriate. Whether it be an original character or a still-life or fanart, or even a landscape, so long as it captures the essence of the prompt, it is applicable to this contest. Entries can be produced in any medium you like. Pen, pencil, Photoshop, markers, mixed media, photography--all are valid for these contests. Entries should be no larger than 900x900 pixels, and no smaller than 300x300 pixels. Let me know if you need help with resizing. I'm not partial to any particular file size, so long as it isn't abnormally large. I also have no specifications for file type, though it should suit the entry. (Ex: If you plan to submit a photo, don't submit it as a GIF. It should be in JPEG format.) Each participant can enter one entry per contest. For entries that require multiple submissions, such as comics, please number and submit all pages. (Try and keep the max number of pages 10 or under.) Entries will be judged equally on three categories: - How well the submission carries the theme of the prompt... - How much creativity the submission shows... - How well the piece is executed... Only submit work that belongs to you. This should be obvious. The first-place (and possibly second/third-place) winner will receive a small something they can place in their signature. And that's it! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to send me a PM. I'd be more than happy to clarify any questions or concerns you might have. Prompts will be posted below, along with the corresponding dates. GOOD LUCK! The current prompt is due on Saturday December 13th 2008.

Thanks! Glad to be here. :)

All of them! :P

Please don't eat me! I promise you, I'm not all that tasty. You should all go eat Fox instead. ;)

No worries. XD

I'm really glad you think so. I was worried that if I posted the new lineart, I'd be told to go and fix it again. XD So, I took a risk and just started coloring. XD

OH GOD NOT THIS AGAIN! XD I'm a girl, but don't sweat it. It took the FESSers like, a whole year to figure out my gender, back when I first joined the community. XD

That's not a silly question at all! :) I've been using a tablet for the last five or six years. You can use a mouse with something like the pen tool and get great results, but for everything else, tablet is the way to go. Ah! Incomplete work! My most recent pieces look lacking because ever since I started college, I've had less and less time to put in the work required to produce good quality art. I wouldn't exactly say that I'm rushing, but I like the relieved feeling I get when I can deem something finished. In general though, I don't really like to fiddle around much with backgrounds (mostly because I'm not very good at them), so that's probably why they only look half done. Oh, and there are some WIP up there. XD

« Popo's Portfolio » Yay! I can finally post this now that the post count has been removed. XD I'll post all my recent and/or interesting and/or problematic artworks here. My most recent works can be found at the top of this list with NEW! written beside them. Work that I consider favorites of mine will have ♥'s beside them. Older pieces will be rotting away at the bottom, collecting dust and growing mold. XD You can find my main gallery here on dA. Feedback is appreciated! I AM NOT UPDATING THIS LIST ANY MORE.

Yes to all but the dragons. I'm only made of 1/3 reek! XD

Musashi~! I'm sure you can guess what's up at the moment, but that said, it's really nice to see a familiar face here. :) It wouldn't surprise me at all if we've crossed paths before. Regardless, nice to meet you! Even though I've only been a member for like, twenty minutes, welcome! XD It looks like you picked a pretty good message board to join. :3

Hi, everyone! For those of you who don't already know me, I'm Popo, and it's a pleasure to be here. I'm currently a moderator at FESS and primarily take care of the Art and Fiction section, but I've been hearing great things about this place--most of which appear to be true--and decided to join the community. As you can probably gather, I enjoy art, writing, and of course, Fire Emblem, particularly FE6 and FE7. I like meeting new people so feel free to say hello or send me a message sometime. :) Being a newbie again feels really wierd. XD
