Stand eyes closed;
Warm to touch, green and bright;
Shoveling snow a memory.

Thanks Drekinn, I may be a bit rusty...this is fun!

Excellent choices, everyone did a fantastic job!  It was such a tough contest! 

Congrats to the winners, all the pieces were wonderful!

Some very wonderful images, thank you all for keeping it real and out of the popularname zone.

I took a peek and was pleasantly surprises.  I followed the link to her website, as she had just won an award for her artistic Tarot Cards.  She is very humble, and offers a wonderfully artistic package for under 30 US dollars, 78 artistically created images for a mere 30 bucks.   I love her owls and the Panda bear was so vivid!  Thanks Arend!

Thank you for your help, I stuck them in there...now it's a matter of finding them.  Trial and error are my only tools now.

Thanks again! [ =

Thank you Therese, you asked a grand question!

Monica, you are truly the best! :)

Mark, thanks and you mentioned Sprite, I read the user guide (pdf) and in using the Sprite  program, I cannot find the images in UF to bring it in with.  The sprite saves the image in a different format then UF will read? There is no destination folder? 

Any idea what I may be doing wrong? Know of any other tuts out there I can get my hands on? [=

I will download the new bring it in, I was not successful in using that older version and hopefully I will get this one to work! 

Thank you for your work and dedication to creating fun and imaginative tools for us to stay creative!

Glad I stumbled into the forum!

You raise a very good topic Therese and I would love to tell you whats in my head when creating. 

Absolutely nothing! 

I grab a program and just start messing around.  The image then begins to come to life on it's own.

For me,  when I have found something I like, I see stories and continue though the creating part until the story is no longer on the screen during the creating aspect.  I then share my thoughts (stories) with my images for other's to view.

I truly love when a good story pops up (image), it can go on for weeks or months; go away and come back again. 

If I were to sit down and had a plan in mind, without a prior creation setting the story, the stage, I would not be successful in finding what I wanted.  They have to come through the fiddling stage, and that is the most enjoyable of them all!

I cannot image the difficulty, thank you for all of your hard work!  (=

Ebots--->I am only receiving them from the forums, my last favorites ebot was 6/12.  I am reading each page as it comes to the forum so I don't repeat what someone may have asked.  

I did go to my profile, it is checked YES to receive email / newsletters / announcements from renderosity.

Is there another area I need to go? 

Thanks for all of your hard work!  (=

Will we resume receiving emails from our fav artists list?  This was very very convenient for me and my busy schedule, my artists list contained the type of art that really turned me on inspirationally and were just a wow for me.  I love scrolling the main gallery on the weekends when time permits, I really miss the emails.

I am thrilled to see the voting buttons gone, the site is really looking nice.  I hope your back up soon!
