Ok, well, you actually already did (your Feb submission is better than Jan's, imo) so I guess I just have to step up mine...
Like may actually finish it. heh... And campaign! Yeah, that's it! I think this month I may actually go out and beg for votes... I have no shame, I pawned it years ago to buy that blow up dol.... dollar. An inflatable dollar. Yeah, that's what I meant!!

So does that mean LD is gonna slack off this month?
oh wait Clutch, Juggy, and Bubba already put up stellar pieces.

No way! I'm more serious than ever. I started studying Elvgren, and couldn't help but notice the similarities between his style and Andrew Loomis'. So now I am reading Loomis books, in order to better understand what Elvgren was doing.|

If anyone is not familiar with Loomis, download his books, read them, study them, take notes, do the exercises, and read them again! We are very lucky to have his insightful words and creative genius freely available to us. They are a must read for artists of any skill level, and as good as, if not better than, anything you will find in a bookstore.

Do you guys all draw in your free time, outta interest? Or do you have *lots* of free time?
Still miffed I didn't spot this until too late >_<

One need only peek at LD's DA page and his "studies"
of Elvgren to see that quarter is neither being asked for nor given. 
I may have to try something a bit more ambitious...
@Techbot Alpha: Sorry about that, I tried PM'ing, emailing, and Skypeing every CoH related artist I could think of.
Also I have a fulltime business building custom computers and so do not have a lot of spare time but I decided
to make it a goal to devote at least an hour or two to drawing (daily if possible) for 60 days and see where that took me.
Click the button in my sig for more on that.

Haha, I don't have free time.... because all my time is taken up with doing art for my Illustration classes =)

Alsoooo, I do believe Wassy deserves a big time kudo for her first round of the 2010 Fart Competition being a success!! Good job, Wassy!

It's one thing to copy an artist's work, but quite another to come up with something new in the same style, so I don't think you need to be too worried....yet. |

Welcome Techbot! I do have a lot of free time now. I could use some income too, which is why I need to develope some skills so I can do commissions.

Much like Wassy most of my time is doing coding and graphics for my web design, game art classes.
It's mostly math and CSS at this point >.<
