edonil Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Man, I would smack anyone who does something like that for so many reasons... primarily because it's cruel, but also because it doesn't help at all. No, any corrections I give will have comments for them. Grammar issues I tend to highlight green, spelling errors are rewritten in red, and you'll usually get half a page or more of just general comments on strengths and weaknesses in the piece, plus the ones that'll be inside the document itself. ---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ---------- I'll chime in a recommendation for Chris as a reader, she's great at asking good clarifying questions...including ones that are annoying and I don't want to answer cause I hadn't ever thought of it!

bowchikawowers Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 hehe but the ones you don't want to answer are the most important to have asked. You know it's going to jar someones Suspension of Disbelief if you don't consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Oh, I know. Doesn't make it any less annoying, though, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Having your disbelief suspenders jarred sounds... Painful. And quite unpleasant too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I also sometimes tell stories without a lot of dialogue. Rather, describing the events, and letting the actions of the characters tell the story. For example, if you read the backstory for my Nameless sculpt, there wasn't much talking in that particular story. But I thought it conveyed the imagery quite well. Thanks for the offers of help though everyone. I appreciate the offers of help from you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hmm, I might do some writing Tomorrow. All this talk of it has got my fingers twitching. Question is, will I have an idea for iron quill, or for more of Jozef? ---------- Post added at 04:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 AM ---------- Ooh, I know that one!

edonil Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Having your disbelief suspenders jarred sounds... Painful. And quite unpleasant too! (falls out of chair laughing) Honestly, dialogue isn't necessary. People are a combination of actions and words, and you can learn a lot about someone just by watching. More than by hearing them speak, actually! ---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ---------- Yeah, this section of the forum doesn't count. Good thing too, I think I'd be at post 5k or something by this point.... ---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ---------- And do the Quill! The Quill calls out to you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 because this is the only thread I talk in, Monkey. and apparently these posts don't count. I don't play the regular malifaux game, or any other mini game, and I don't paint models. so while I look i don't talk, because I know painting a 3D object is waaaay different from painting a 2D page like i'm used to. not much up there in the "real" threads for me to talk about, so i stick to this one and just ignore the post count.

edonil Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Oh, I'm sure you'd have fun painting models. I think I've still got that horse you painted, first 3d piece you ever did and you painted it better than any of mine at that time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Ah,... I see. So if you never post anywhere but the OTT thread,.. then you never build a post count. I get it!!! Light dawns on marbled head!!! Yeah, my count would be much higher as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 well, Ed, I do have a degree in art... so I must have learned *something* and there was a 3d design class. but I'm looking at the stuff you guys do now, and no way could I match. and if I recall you helped a lot with that horse. durn feathers.... and shadows. except that that was painted before I went to college wasn't it... hrm. well. either way, still couldn't match ya'll.

Mako Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 The only bad bit of painting models is the prep work. It's like having to build a frame and stretch the canvas yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Well,.. I don't know that we've ever met formally. *waves*,.. hi,.. I'm Phil,.. also know as you friendly neighborhood Webmonkey. Mako and Edonil are the only people that I talk to (or that talk to me) with any regularity. I'm mostly unknown to the majority of the regular forum folk, I think. I don't have near the following that either of them have. But I digress,.. Anyways,.. nice to meet you *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Could given time! I bet you'd give Mako a run for his money, lol. Yeah, I'm the highest in the room at 7.6k posts in here... Mako is the next highest of the regulars in here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) i hate doing that... stretching canvas is harder than it sounds! yah, maybe. time and money. money I don't have. Sorry, not investing in a game i will never play just to paint things, no matter how pretty the things are. don't have the time or attention span for a whole day of playing one game. Too much to do! I have Adobe! and I am the church art department! and lesson plans, and my regular job, and... and.. *falls over twitching* Edited April 2, 2013 by bowchikawowers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 You know how light behaves I'm guessing, and that's almost the entire battle. Aside from learning how to get the brush into the difficult angles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I have a following? O.o If I do, it's a quiet one, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I'm never stretching canvases as long as there's an art store selling pre done ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Although,.. that does beg a question. If you don't paint,.. and you don't play,.. how is it that you ended up on a mini's-forum? (if it isn't to impertinent of me to ask) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I'm not sure I have a following so much as a crowd waiting for me to mess up *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I'm first in line for that,.. Seriously though,.. you have the largest following on this whole thing. I don't think there's anyone who doesn't know you or follow your thread.

bowchikawowers Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 hehe hey Phil, nice to meetcha, I'm Chris. Ed got me on the site to see what he was babbling about, because I was totally lost, and they were talknig about one of Mako's models I think. so they had to show me that, and I think I had to make an account to see it or something, and then they mentioned the off topic forums, and here I am. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 ...alright, that one's fair, lol. Although I try to push that attention on to the authors as much as I can, all I'm doing at this point is copying and pasting the rules, adding an intro and throwing up the ingredients the last winners picked out. Mako, you might want to add some shock armor to that Jaeger costume for the swarm that'll hit you once people from the forum realize who you are!
