So, as an 8-footer, what’re those, elephant legs? That would base him out of Kilimanjaro caves, I guess . . .

I figure you import some of your font work, but do you ever manipulate hm fonts? I’ve been experimenting a bit . . .

[Herr D]

For MM, did you mean ‘inaudibility?’ That’s a power I haven’t seen–or heard, I guess.

[Herr D]

Welcome back!

Interestingly enough, I’ve met a tanner who made something like this. A pony coat. She said it was really warm, and that she got in trouble for tanning hides in her grandfather’s bathtub when she was younger . . .

Two Tuesdays from today, due at 2pm, hopefully to be judged that same day by 8pm(what is that 2/6?)

Extra point if raccoons are obviously referenced.

There must be times when even a satyr can’t get no satisfaction . . .

Wow. I didn’t lag it enough. Same items due 1/23 at 2pm. To be judged by 1/24 2pm (EST)

[Herr D]

Gah! I hereby declare myself the judge. Since we’re in full holiday lag, let’s say it’s due at 1pm on 1/9/18 EST, hopefully to be judged by 8pm. An extra point if clock making or repairing is represented in the pic.

(Thank you, CS, for giving me a race to enter. Needed that adrenalin boost to get my squidlings to eat.)

Speedy didn’t do as well in the delivery contest as planned: You must deliver three ornaments, one wrapped package, one musical instrument, and one food item across the arctic to an Inuit village on a toboggan. He–well, he was disqualified for nondelivery and breakage. He managed to hit the only tree in an eight-square-mile region. His nose has been reinflated. Some elves just don’t got it, you know?

 

*That bustier became turkey legs, elf curl-toe shoes (curl toe added), a root, and shadows. The mic became Speedy’s fingertips visible around the tree (very small), part of the snow indentation of the toboggan landing, and one color only of it became 10% of his scarf and 70% of his earmuffs. The pincer became branches, roots, shadows, and the wrecked toboggan.

I–am way too swamped to join the SNS this year. I’ve seen fair success with rain done in one way. There’s a backplane item of horizontal lines. Nearly translucent white lines at a near vertical angle overlaying the whole image does reasonably well. That one item makes it somewhat efficient, too.

BTW, I can’t seem to open your items on the OPMC?

Firebird would always know what some sailors know because of her experienced geisha cover. The pilots she met did not survive to tell others.

Gah. Missed this. ctrl-a to get it all, ctrl-c to ‘read and remember’, ctrl-v to a Word or Works or notepad text file. E-mail the text files to yourself to plan to use them on different computers. The .sol files are too fragile to depend on. If you do, you’ll BE s-o-l.

[Herr D]

–Yeah, that’s a nice scene by CS. I’m outta time to work on this one. So [winds up] here!

A lot of carousels have that mirror in the middle. This is a reflected scene from one of those mirrors.

Wings became the upper drape of the mom’s dress–I thought a dress made of just wings might appeal to this judge. Matching tights and heels not included.

The headgear became a unicorn harness. Harpy leather?

The dog is used once entire and three partials in Hoppity the Enthusiastic Toad. Ribbit.

The belt was so interesting as was that I used two partial copies to make the carousel itself, so it became 80% of the background. The part that didn’t get used in the background became the son’s scarf. There are a few chilly nights right near close-of-season.

Looks like you have enough here to keep going though. Layering transparent color is how I do custom colors. It seems easier than the custom palette. Limits exact choices, but still leaves plenty of range.
