Boo

Deeply disappointing football. Lucky shot by Sneijder.

... This was an interesting day. I wonder how tomorrow's Netherlands - Japan match will be.

More importantly: < + 3 = <3 and I <3 my 3.

Honestly, so far the Dutch team is pretty pathetic as well, while Denmark is playing ace in defense. [b]Update:[/b] [spoiler]Thanks to trickster Elia with his exotic football feet and Denmark, we ended up on 2-0. Second half was better, but until Elia came in, not impressive. No extra kudos for Kuyt because he scored, because if he wouldn't have been there he'd suck. :^D[/spoiler]

Firstly this: [quote name='Kei' date='14 June 2010 - 07:03 AM' timestamp='1276491819' post='695246'] [font="Tahoma"][color="#000080"]The purpose of the tutorials here are to give people an idea of how to use the tools they have available and are created by the users here to provide some sort of base form for them to go off of. Nobody has to be a professional to try and lend a hand. You are correct that people can look up sources and material to better themselves, but this project involves users of all skill levels here at OB. Therefore, any tutorial made by any member will be accepted and sourced here.[/color][/font][/quote] But for the rest, everyone is welcome to share their own ideas to help (beginning) artists improve their work or just broaden their horizon or something. So, Lunox' post is helpful as it is, even though I don't share her vision that "beginning artists should not make tutorials for other beginning artists." Thanks, I guess. 8D

4-0, Aussies. 4-0. Shame on you.

Soccer-Football 1-1 is just sad. America wasn't doing well enough to deserve a draw. But England was behaving like a bunch of tarts anyway. Germany is on a roll though. And Australia is just sucking badly (and they're shouting too much). Can't wait for the Netherlands - Denmark during working hours. :^D By the way, the only South Africans using the vuvuzelas seem to be the whites trying to suppress the blacks' cheering.

South Africa's Makarabas made me mute my TV at one point.

If you liked Avatar, you'll love Pocahontas. It's the same, but with better acting, better colours and [i]songs[/i].

Oh yeah.

And we should only be able to have a customised avatar after 250 posts or something. Until then, we'll have to make due with the standard 50x50 avatar gallery.

Sounds like a great plan! I was just talking with some members about starting more little fun projects in the Art Studio, especially with some more attention to other art forms than the typical digital art like used in signatures and such. One topic that came up was the game started by Sara called 'Draw My Character' where a person would post their own character and the next would post their drawn version of it. Then they'd post their own character for the next person to draw. I think the time limit with that drawing project was 72 hours. An idea for this one too? Also it might be hard to actually align the drawings unless the edges are really extremely simple, when it comes to drawing, but you can be quite flexible with that. Though I was thinking that maybe it'd be fun if instead of one continues panorama kind of view, we could play like the whisper game where the first person whispers in the next persons ear and they whisper what they heard into the third person's ear etc. etc. But then with art! :^D But thats an other idea altogether, sorry bout that. :X

Tomorrow's my lovely girlfriend's birthday so I'm blowing up a few dozens of balloons.

[b]Soccer does not exist[/b]. Teams that shouldn't win: [list][*]Portugal[*]Japan[*]America[/list]Team that should win: [list][*]Sweden[/list]Teams I should be rooting for: [list][*]The Netherlands[*]Germany[/list] World cups are greatness. Football is the best sport ever to worked up about and shout stuff at the telly. Also, the Netherlands would really suck if they can't get out of their own group. Last Euro Cup they did excellent in their group only to play a lousy match against Russia. Gotsto do better than that.

You've got a great comicy style going on. What kind of products exactly do you use these designs for?

I post too much since the update. Since when am I the #1 poster? A: Since the update.
