Wow I am the banner art! Sweet! Good luck to all!

I must admit I am in awe of Crystalis who has me on ignore because their gallery is full of original work created by them as they are vehemently antiAI yet to my totally ignorant eye it looks like AI.

I can only dream of having such mad skills.

"Show me 20 or show me 100 AI Images and I could NEVER say who the person was that made the Image, they ALL look the same."

"So please anyone who says users of 3D programs are not Artists, they do a hell of a lot more than waiting for an image to be ready, they have to compose the image, light, props, placing and more."

Just my two cents but this is exactly the same thing that I heard from people about Poser back in 2001 when I joined Renderosity. Nevertheless, I will follow the rules and take my AI augmented/generated work elsewhere and share my Daz stuff here if I can get my computer to be able to crunch out a render before crashing. 

Thank you!

Thank you so much! What a great way to start the new year!

Thank you for selecting me, I was feeling a little forgotten:) this helps!

Thanks, that was it!

Thanks I'll try that:)

Thanks so much for picking me!

Just a small update, according to local news sources the judge has recused herself, the GAL has not, and is now under investigation.

I will keep you both in my prayers!

That's wonderful! I hope somebody out there is equally nice if they find my lost wayward kitty:( It is wonderful to hear the good things in life, thank you.

There is no standing gag order though, this was asked for by the GAL (guardian ad litem) and she asked for it without notifying the father's lawyer. She also lied and told the judge that she had just found about the interview on the day of the airing when she had found about it 4days previous, she lied and said the father refused to to say if he was giving personal details or not, and he told all the cps people at the conference that he was not.

This order was gotten under lies and the father was never given the chance to protest, and while I'm glad CPS is better where you live here in Indiana we have an awful record of CPS doing too much or too little without justification. It's particularly a problem in this instance where the children are special needs and so get extra money for the county. We also don't have an ombudsmen system, all complaints against DCS are handled by DCS so it's the fox guarding the hen-house. We just recently had a three year old die because she was given back to known abusers by supervisors telling the caseworkers"we don't care what you say, give them back to their mother" and nobody was held accountable, Judge Payne said nobody did anything wrong. So it's more than a little questionable when an article asking for ombudsmen and pointing out problems in the system gets chopped, no?

BTW, Acadia thank you. I saw an image of superman crying over the wreckage of the trade towers and it stuck with me and inspired my image.

Quote - Sean mentioned it, and I wonder if this is the case here. In most Family/Juvenile Courts in the US, there is a standing Gag Order, which is the Judges responsiblity to enforce. Normally the media will not report on Custody Battles. We had a similar situation where I live. When the news media contacted the other parent's attorney for comment, they asked the Judge to enforce the Gag Order. The judge sent a letter warning them that reporting on evidence in the proceedings violated the Gag Order and could make them subject to Contempt Charges. The news media asked the judge to preview the story before they would air it, to make sure it did not violate the standing Gag Order. The judge refused and the media outlet decided not to air the piece until the proceedings had been closed, which ended the Gag Order.

I have seen some nasty Court Cases when it comes to custody and things said by one party or another often can not be proven false, even if they can not be proven true. The ones that really get harmed in all this are the kids as then try to go on and live a somewhat normal life. The courts are mandated with considering  and protecting the children's welfare. Anyone here that parents divorced, even if it was not a major custody battle, can understand that they hope to God that what their parents say about each other at home or in court do not make it to their friends or the community.

You do realize though, this is not a divorce case. This is the department of children's protective services trying to term rights and trying to make sure the father doesn't get to complain to the media.

Nothing is written in stone yet, and I'll never give up. The only way to fail is to never try at all.
