this has to be one if his better ones

very nice

i would love to know why its rated mature tho.

Chaos - it's fixed.

Mmrrrf... I wish I had decent coloring abilities... I'd totally try... but someone who can shade would win out against me >_<

But you never know, hun. I like to judge on talent and creativity.

Alright... I suppose it would be good practice for me, anyway. It would be easier with a tablet, though... XD

Kusho, your art is wonderful. I partial to it.

*blushes deeply* Thanks! It really means a lot to me that you're partial to it.

Awesome drawing :)

Biiiiiiiiiig moose. O . o

Your bulk came out wonderfully. Though your fuzzy feet before your hooves kinda makes me think more of a bull then a moose. X3

Well, a male moose is called a bull. Maybe they have a lot in common like that.

thank you for liking it sir.

You really did a beautiful job wolfie ^^

Yea it's great! And the background too

awesome! lu makes so beautiful pics and this one is one of his very best :D

I'd like to try coloring this, but I'm pretty slow and this is a complex challenge. When one is self employed and runs four businesses - including a cattle ranch - things happen. I spent yesterday and all last weekend with a wood fire full of hot branding irons 40 miles from the nearest power line rather than with my warm WACOM... I also would be using some of my photomorph furrifying techniques, and they are rather time consuming. What is the submission deadline?

Whoa! Hey, contact me please!!! Another Mac OSX addict!!! YAHOOOO! And your life seems so interesting! Can I get you on IM?

The IMs that I have tried so far (ICQ and Yahoo) have cut huge holes in the OS X (UNIX type) OS security system which allows me to operate without any antiviral software. Since I have bank account numbers, social insecurity numbers, passwords, tax returns, and a huge amount of trade secret data on this computer, any IM that compromises security is totally unacceptable. Yahoo IM altered the OS file ownership and permissions structure of over a dozen OS files that are central to security. I had to kill the process, shred the file, repair the OS ownerships and permissions, and do a cold reboot. It was actually very scary.

I was an alpha test site for Version VII UNIX on the IBM AT in the early 1980s, so I understand what can go wrong. A single AT with a 4.88 Mhz processor and 640 Kb ram could run an oil refinery. Unix / OS X is exceedingly efficient. Can you imagine a couple dozen concurrent processes running on an AT?!

If I hadn't noticed an obvious security breach within the first few minutes on Yahoo IM...

I'd love to communicate with you. Let's use FA notes. FA notes don't mess with OS ownerships and permissions.

Foxy,

I have not set a deadline as such. Probably after AC, maybe Aug 1. I want to go to AC and get "thanks for trying" gifts for ALL those who tried, and a nice pic for the winner, unless the winner want me to do a piece for them. I believe that everyone should get something for trying. Can you tell I taught school? (hee hee) everyone gets something!

Wow! I'll try it! Thank you for the opportunity!!

Pawsome giftpic Dine... Lu really did a great job with this... I might try m'paw at colorin' it... :)

Lune, you'd better.BTW, when we get to AC, let me get you a gift in the sales area, my treat. Dine

Aaaw... why thank ya... but ya don't have ta do that... but *looks around then whispers ta yer ear* I hear the wuff'd be putty in yer paws fer 151 rum! ;)

*steals it and tries to color*

Of course, it'll take a while, y'know? Have to use all of my techs, y'know?? :D

I would be honoured!

Help, please!

I have an unprecidented problem with this file: When I attempted to open this file in Photoshop CS (for OS X IBM Power PC Mac), I received an error message that I had never seen before: 'Unable to complete request; conversion module unable to parse file,' or something like that. I've never had any problems with PNG files before - I use them on a daily basis.

Could you please email me the file? FA has been modifying files en-mass; perhaps this is the problem.

It is a beautiful drawing - the most complex that I have attempted to color - and I'm very enthusiastic about what I'll learn! Sorry to be a bother.

Lupuslusitanus came to the rescue! He emailed me the file and it opens normally in Photoshop. I'm having a lot of fun trying new (for me) techniques. Thank you both for this opportunity!

<3 Awww, That was so sweet of em. He drew you so well.

grats, great gift! ye're really a massive moose :-D

You too! LIke your new icon a LOT!

Thanks! I have a "Moose Bar & Grill" drawing project for later this summer, which would involve drawing most of the moose on FA, do you know others beside Nanimoose and Larathen's Kaboose?

Were dot is a moose, too

Mmm this one is very nice. LU is getting better

So this is the pic the contest is all about. I like it. Might tty my hands at it. Yeah right.
