“And it is still true, no matter how old you are -- when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.”
I've started putting watermarks on my pictures. I've generally been blending them in with the colours of the pic so they don't stand out too much but I just thought a little signature on the art would be something that truthfully I should have done a while ago. Most other artists sign their work. So I wanna start doing that too.
I've also bought advertising space. It's only 20 dollars for a month so thought I might as well. Now that I'm trying to be a bit more professional with art and stuff I guess advertising is important. I'm also setting up a business bank account. Scary huh. Lol. Once that's done my PayPal account will change and from that point on I'll be sending out invoices for payments to keep things nice and simple for me because truthfully at the moment I've gotten my knickers all twisted trying to work out who owes what and when and that's even with using an excel spreadsheet
Also I'm like proper shy...some people prolly know that. So I don't tend to initiate conversations. It usually takes me a few days to work up the courage to note someone. But I like chatting. I'm happy for people to send me random notes and chat with me so long as the note doesn't just say HI. I don't have Skype I used to have all the messengers and Skype but that was on my old laptop that died. But yeah if you ever have a question or just randomly wanna chat feel free
Tonight I plan to finish holz picture, charliekits pic and alganbords pics also fix the problems on the big group pic
Finally the difference between cottage pie and shepherds pie is that cottage pie is made of beef and shepherds pie is made of lamb.
This has been your gem public service announcment I will now return you to your regular scheduled time wasting activities

Also, I didn't know that about cottage pie and shepard's pie.
As we have talked before, I know so many good potential artists who have gone up high and fast.. also as the laws of physics apply.. came down too. I hope you on the other hand keep the flag up and running.
And trust me, when customers are kept in the loop (informed enough) they are amazingly understandable :)
*pouty face* I dont have one on any of the drawings you have done for me. Guess I have to make another commission to be up-to-date now.
as far as being a good lil talker if you ever want s silly sissy boy lion cub to chat with you are free to bother me, I am probably just as bad at starting conversations that you *shyly hides under a pink blanket*
I have a cub character, a glowdragon, and aside from one picture, everything else that really might count as a reference, although I don't have an official reference for him yet, is on another website and NSFW. do you have an inkbunny account, and do you mind NSFW cub pics if they're only used as reference material? the only SFW pic I have of him is wearing underroos. Firestorm underroos.
and to comment on the whole pie topic. every shepherd's pie I've seen in the US is beef. but as I commented on someone's feral snuff pic of a lamb, 'feral snuff always makes me hungry. who's got some mint sauce?' I rarely go more than a month without eating lamb. I rarely go six months without liver. I also rarely go two days without spinach.
so yeah, I'm not shy. I'm so not shy, someone telling me how shy they are really prompts me to say stuff.
while I'm typing this, I forget where to find yer songs on youtube, I'd like to hear more of them. if you say I gotta buy the album, I will. how much for how many songs?
Oh no, me toooooo XD
Also, you know I love talking to you! I try to send you notes every so often <3
I just wish I had some stuff to talk about u wu
Ooo, good on you for getting all organized! I am sure that will help as you move towards being a full time artist.
It's good to sign your drawings, though I can always tell when it's one of yours anyway. I have a standard way of signing mine. I experimented for a while with making an invisible watermark on some drawings, so I could always prove a drawing was mine. I'm the only one with the original, without the watermark, so they can be compared and the watermark appears.
Anyway, now I am hungry for lunch with all this pie talk, and my phone acted up before so I thought a post I had made didn't work when it really did.
#!/bin/bash
cat art.png sig.png > artwithsig.png # adds signature to the end of the file assuming the signature is a png file and the artwork is also a png file.
grep -obUaP "\x89\x50\x4E\x47"` artwithsig.png # used to find the offset where the sig starts inside the file, it's a well known fact that all png headers start with 0x89504E47.
dd bs=1 skip=offset if=artwithsig.png of=exportedsig.png # export the signature.
and they weren't really in the way of it
and they weren't really in the way of it
Good to know about the pie things. the only so called Shepards pie I had was made wif beef.
Guess it was really cottage kind then huh.
As for talking I dun mind either.
Just I am shy and kind of afraid-ish to start convo's.
Also I have a hard time of thinking of what to say, and how t say it,
so it does not come out sounding like something else.
Re: Yucky! Just give me stuff like me chips and pop and crisps. (I ish a VERY picky eater, but generally like junk food a LOT). ^.^
Anywho, good to hear things are coming together for you, Gem... definitely sounds like you are taking your art to more occupational professional levels now.
Keep on, keeping on, wittle squiggle!
Ever have priest in one?? XD
Huh! Interesting! XD
Ever have priest in one?? In a meat pie?? I hear its too good! XD lmao!!
