D'aww. You know we all support you.
To be honest, I'm pretty jealous of just how much range Beavs has, and how much appeal her style seems to have. I sincerely wish I had that. Then again, I don't exactly bust my ass trying to do just that, so its not unexpected.
There's actually a few people on here, Beavo included, who I look to as a gauge for whats needed to succeed in the art field. Since I started lurking six years ago, I've been able to observe where most of you started, and where you've all managed to take your art. Its impressive, and inspiring. At the very least, despite my laziness, and lack of motivation I've learned what it takes to get to where I eventually want to be.
i know you do and i really really appreciate that
and i also kind of like it now that i think they look like jacks
it maybe makes it kind of less christmassy more just... yeah playful?
like just a random design in the back
i don't like big gaudy snowflakes
they look poopy to me
i like super stylized 50's esque ones
everything i like in art is from or near the 50s. i wish i lived back then.
edit: aaawwww! buck!
that's so sweet
you're a stellar artist. it's always harder for us to gauge how much we've improved, since we just nitpick ourselves to death over all of our flaws
but i really can't think of anyone on here who hasn't made significant strides in their work since joining
the new challenge thread is a testament to that.
it's a great community for that, and we're rough as shit on people sometimes, but how can you argue with the results?
i think we all have retardedly high standards for ourselves too. which isn't a bad thing, the drive for improvement around here is pretty inspiring.
Why the hell did I ever decide to make every portfolio I make personalized? I've been editing the info inside and saving it as a PDF for the past 3 hours! Then to send it to print for a day, then to cut, fold and glue all the envelopes I made... and then make 6 expensive shipments to Japan.
If this does not impress my potential employers, I don't know what will.
What are you talking about? That is the best thing you can do for your portfolio.
That's how a winner lands himself a kickass job.

I was going to comment about how they look 50's/60's era style. I wanted to say something like classic Price is Right curtain patterns, but then I look up images and its not quite the same.

Well folks like you, Lexxy, Gibs, DR, Wakkawa, and Sonic (who doesn't come around anymore) and many others are true testaments to that. Over the years you guys have become like up incoming art superstars for me, and others I'm sure. Then there are others that I feel are right behind you.
Even I can tell that this place has helped my art mature because of the people involved in our little community.
Alright. Too much complimenting, and gushing for one day. I've already caused enough damage to my thickheaded, asshole reputation today.

Justin Sweet just helped me pick out an original Daren Bader drawing.

Justin Sweet is mind bogglingly amazing. I had to look up Daren Bader, but damn if he isn't impressive too.
So, he personally helped you pick one out? Like an original, original drawing, or a 745/1000 print?
Fuck. I said I wouldn't gush any more today, but fuck it. Justin Sweet is one of those artists that makes me say stupid shit like, "that's the kind of artist I want to be like when I grow up."
Went into DC last night for some sort of private party my friend knew about. Bar hopped for a while, literally CARRIED my best friend back to the metro because he was barely walking/basically passed out. He puked on the metro! Got some good pics of that. Drove him to his house in his own car which he continued to throw up while passed out all over his center console (a little surprise I'm sure he found this morning).
Ate half a leftover burrito from earlier in the day, and went to bed!
Great night!
(Except I lost my voice because I'm prone to yelling a lot when I'm drunk. Not like in an angry way, more in like a 'party starter' way.)

I've only been so drunk that I've needed to be carried once in my life, and never again. That was one hell of a night. At least the parts that I can remember. I danced with a group of black chicks I didn't know because they pulled me over to them while I was trying to make my way to the bathroom. That was fun. I was carried to a friends house to sleep it off, when we apparently ran into a drunken full blood Irishmen(in BOSTON of all places!) along the way, who thought we were heading to another party. He followed us back to my friends place, and refused to leave. They gave him two gallon milk jugs of beer that had been siphoned off of a keg from two weeks prior. It had started to sour. Of course I slept through the whole ordeal, and was relaid the story the following morning.
Then I had to pay my friend Jamie-Rose, like, $20 for the white russians I never remembered ordering for myself and other people. I was clearly drunk by that point, because I almost never offer to buy anyone a drink out of the kindness of my heart.

Thanks Buck, and I know what you mean, I see work on here that makes me kick my own ass for being so lazy/crummy/unawesome. I feel like a fraud to be surrounded by those names -- I'm so jealous of those peeps and their endless supply of talent and gumption.
I'd be more jealous of Beavs if she wasn't such a media whore and didn't have such floppy hair.

Another half hour passes, and this place is still dead as fuck. Its like you people are trying to have lives outside the internet, or something equally ridiculous.
I'm here. Just doodling at the moment. I am still trying to figure out why I am having so much trouble constructing heads and catching my own mistakes.

Oh, snap! Fantastic Mr. Fox came out the other day, and I didn't even realize it.

And a ride to the theater...
And maybe somebody to enjoy it with...

I feel both loved, and uncomfortable at the same time. Truly this is bliss.
EDIT: This is getting old real fast. Over the past month my jaw has started locking up a bit after I've had a few. Like it feels like its either off set on one side or the other, and then it tightens. Its bizarre and intensely annoying.
EDIT2: Despite the OP's lack of proper etiquette, I think that Work Space thread might have had a little promise. I know it didn't exactly fit the rules, but it probably could have slid by, yeah?:?
EDIT3: Well its been raining pretty good for 24 hours straight now. Its a good thing.

Yeah, but it only happens when I've been drinking. That's the only time. And its really recent.
I don't like it much.
I also discovered that Electric Six just released their new album, KILL. I was super excited, but after hearing more than half of it, not so much. Its good. Probably more like just OK. Its not even close to great though. I feel like each successive album has gotten just a bit weaker, and uninspired than the one before it. This makes me sad inside.

Most bands are like that though... they fill their first 3 albums with all their original ideas and from there on out they are scraping their metaphorical barrel.
Do you guys think there is more music in the world than can be listened to in one lifetime? If you had, say, 75 years, and one giant hard drive with all the world's recorded music on it, played continuously, would you have enough time to listen to it all?

Major kudos on all your success lately, Beavs. I've read a couple posts on the L4D/L4D2 forums about your cards. They're all positive.
Fuck. It's been a long time since I've even seen a Jacks. Do kids even play with those anymore?
