Um, are we really discussing how unrealistic it would be to have dragons with breasts?

I'd go with the Jag as well. But man, that bug is rockin'! Gotta get one in yellow.

Once you upload an item to freestuff, it'll show up on your artist page. If you have more than three, there will be a link to "(Artist)'s Free Stuff."

Sorry, that's just what popped into my head when I saw your subject line. From what I've seen, polite criticism is usually well received in the galleries. It's pretty obvious when someone is commenting simply to be petty, hurtful or make themselves look more experienced or erudite. The sole reason they post is to get a response. This is one case where it's true that if you ignore them, they will go away. It's no fun if nobody bites. On the other hand, there are artists who simply can not take any kind of criticism or suggestions without feeling hurt, offended or demeaned. They have issues that none of us can help with, other than to remember that this person is fragile and we must try to phrase our criticism more carefully. It would be much simpler to say "toughen up or get out," "if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen" or whatever, but that wouldn't be very sociable, would it? And it certainly won't help them better their craft.

Excellent!!! What a great idea. I love it when folks experimant with different perspectives. She seems to have a flashlight under her skirt, however.

Ouch!! Wouldn't her pubes get caught in those little chains? ; ) Seriously, Kath, that's a great first offering. You may want to render at a larger size to post in the gallery though. It would be nice to get a better look at her. Welcome!

You guys aren't the only ones who can do code tricks. ; )

Just for the record: "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." Robert A.

Thanks folks. Now I'm off to re-craft that last verse.

Thanks, tjames. Actually it was inspired by a youngish Druid (me) walking the cold, rainy downtown Seattle streets during Christmas season one night, and being 3000 miles from any other Druids I knew. I felt very isolated and bitter. This was before I learned how to be as tolerant and co-celebratory with other folks ways as I wished they were with mine.

Ah, I get it. The reference is to the re-birth of the Sun(god) at Winter Solstice. The idea was later borrowed as the birthday of Christ. The modern version is seen in the baby New Year images. The semi-colons simply denote a list of features. I suppose they should be in the third verse also.

Rhythm wise, you mean? I have trouble with that one myself, but I never really got around to fixing it with something that made the same sense. In fact, I'm uncomfortable with the first and second lines of that verse.

Will somebody please tell me where this absurd idea comes from that the purpose of art is to make statements and cause people to think? What a bunch of modern clap-trap.
