Some months ago I sent a note to an artist I admire a lot. I had no response, but that is not the problem to me because I know this person surely have the inbox full of notes, and no matter how badly this artist is willing to reply: when you get a lot of feedback as this person surely has it's almost imposible to answer to every guy that tries to make contact

Mi intention is not to make a drama , so I won't say who this artist is, so please don't try to guess and don't ask me. If someone's post a name I will be obliged to hide the comment. I don't want to start a war, just want to share how sad and dissapointed I feel. Sad, not angry, cause I really love the work this person does. Besides, it's not the first time I see this attitude on many artist with lots of pageviews, but it's the first time it touches me directly.

I will try to keep the details in shadows -as I said, I mean no harm to this person and it's not my intention to damage "his/her" reputation-.
In my note I politely asked this person to share some techniques about line art with the community if he/she finds spare time in the future. I did never pestered this person, and as I had no reply, I forgot the matter and continued investigating on my own.

Of course I know there are a lot of work involved behind every piece (and after all I published 2 comic books done all by myself, 100 pages each), and no matter if you are a pro or a begginer, everyone knows that there are no such things as "magical brushes", "magical actions" or "devil pacts" drawing an Ouija in Photoshop stated this, all I can say is that this person made a public irony about those stupid guys -like me- who asked about some tips. Maybe this artist was not directly speaking about me, but seems there was a lot of "morons" like me asking for a tutorial. When I realized what those words from the artist ment, I felt like an idiot, only for have asked something.

So: Q- Are artist obliged to share? A- of course NOT. But I think that being polite is a must .
And if someone is not willing to share (wich is fair), I think it's better a nice silence instead of some journals or deviations that only make us, the people who watch this persons and are interested in sharing and learning, to feel undestimated or even slightly insulted. I saw other artist's journals where you can read "Please don't aske me for tuts, find your own ways as I have found mines" that's a lot better! It's honest, and it's respectful.

So, thanks a lot to very talented guys who are always polite and are not afraid to share things with their fellows artists like or among many many others. This makes me love them even more.
When I first come to Deviant I didn't know a fucking thing about Photoshop, and now, due to all those nice people who made tutorials and shared some tips I learnt a lot, and there are a lot more to be learnt.
That's what a community art is to me at least.

Que buenos viejos tiempos he pasado jugando al Lineage II en el server L2Exteme! Ahi estabamos en un pequeño clan de españoles y argentinos donde la gente era de lo mas divertida. Y creo que eso era lo lindo, que el clan era chico, uno conocia a casi todos los de la lista. Sobre todo extraño a dos amigos españoles que eran geniales! (amo a los españoles en general son gente divina!)pero les perdimos el rastro cuando cerro el server

Me encantaba porque cuando uno salia a explorar podia conocer gente de lo mas variopinto, rusos, turcos, norteamericanos, españoles, italianos, franceses, suecos, alemanes, de todo. Hasta un pk polaco figuraba en mi lista de amigos (Y gracias a quien mi pobre pj era capaz de cruzar ciertos lugares llenos de adictos al PVP ).
A veces me pregunto que habra sido de Jeremy -un carpintero de muebles de estilo de Paris- y de su novia, cuyos padres no aprobaban su matrimonio? O de "Cata" a quien durante mucho tiempo pense que era Catalina y resulto ser "El Catalán"
Sera que como no puedo viajar mi unica manera de conocer gente distinta es asi pero bueno, gustos son gustos!
Luego jugue en el server Elwyn, pero la verdad, insufrible la gente de ahi. Habia mucha gente buena, pero la mayoria insoportable. PKs ent odas partes, items a precios inverosimiles, cero camaraderia, vagancia para hacer raid boss. Incluso habia quienes te cobraban peaje para cruzar ciertas partes o te pekeaban (para eso dejo de jugar y salgo a la calle, lo unico que me faltaba: pibes chorros en el juego!). Asique deje el server y le regale la cuenta a mi buena amiga Pony ()

Ahora estoy jugando en los realms latinos del WOW (Mi novio tiene ahi su legion de lvls 80), pero la verdad que es como que le falta algo, es como una reunion con los vecinos de al lado. Se que tiene todo su razon tecnica el tema de los servers regionales, pero para mi le quita cierta pimienta que le da la mezcla de gente de todas partes. Lo bueno que un par de muy buenos amigos estan ahi junto con el caro mio.

Y bueno, lo mio es turismo gamer!

This a pretty common question, but today I was thinking about what I wanted to be when I become an adult. Even as a grown girl I have dreamed about different paths to follow.
I'm going to tell you my list, but I'd love to know which were/are your goals?
Of course, weird stuff counts too! (I support weirdness!)

1-Police woman (I wanted to carry heavy weapons, yeah. It wouldnt have worked, I suspect myself to be a happy trigger! )

2- Lawyer (Wouldn't have worked neither, I want to put criminals behind the bars but in this country is more the opposite wich works)¬_¬

3-Pet doctor

4-Cabaret singer (Well, I had no idea about what a cabaret was when I was 12 and I wanted to be Jessica Rabbit)

5-Owner of a dungeon (Would be useful when I need to kick someone when feeling frustrated!).

6-Leather crafter (currently researching about costs,and if the bussiness could actually works. I'd love to make boots, belts, shoes, bags and corsetes).

7-Evil sorceress in a dark throne with a black panther at my feet. (I can dream!my real life sucks!)

Como lo llamo mi amiga Delfina, recuerdan el cel-bomb de mi anterior post?
Bien, hoy lo lleve aun tecnico autorizado de Motorola, donde confirmamos efectivamente que la bateria que me habian vendido en Mercado Libre como original, de original tenia lo mismo que tengo yo de buena cocinera, o sea, nada.

Acostumbrados con mi novio a comprar por mercado libre, buscamos la bateria del V8 ahi. Figuraba como original en parte alguna decia que era generica.
Venia con los stickers de Motorola y con holograma y todo.
Bueno, esta bateria no hizo volar mi telefono o mis dedos porque Dios no quiso.
Asique ahora estoy reclamando el pago de la reparacion mas el importe que perdi por la bateria trucha.
Mañana sabre si consigo todo.
Por ende, mucho ojo con lo que compran, esto me paso por comoda y por querer que me traigan las cosas a mi casa T_T, o dicho en argentino "me paso por boluda".
Espero que mi taradez sirva para que otros no sean estafados.
