I surely hope Spike does some more tutorials. Part of what is wrong here, now, is that there are less tutorials...free ones, that is, less quality free stuff, less chit chat and comardery (sp?)and more RULES...i can hang with the rules, but, it's the other stuff that makes me want to return. Am I the only one who also thinks that the quality of the galleries has gone down, as well? Once upon a time I was PROUD to post here. Now, I mostly render, and share with real world friends. (Because I am sort of ashamed to point folks toward the R'sity gallery of late. And THAT;s a REAL SHAME. However, it is true. Well, maybe, some enchanted day, I'll find the perfect Art site...with like minds and, giving spirits, and, I'll pull my gallery altogether and head off to that promised land. In the meantime, I can still hope for this place. Things changed once, perhaps, they will change again. Pop...Pop...Poppi!!! :*)
