I myself sell from my own website as many man more people are doing now because of all the issues raised in this forum. In order to make money off any of your products here, or at daz, you have to price it really high to get profit and if it is too high no one buys it.

The one on the right is the one without the makeup. and yeh im working on the eye thing. Thank you:)

the beadwork is taken from photographs, mostly of very old native outfits, headbands, etc. most of which are from the blackfoot tribe.. the outfits themselves are not really based on anything other than my imagination. thank you:):)

OK, So heres the 6 i have so far. Any feedback?

wow, i didnt think this thread would get so many replies, and all of you make wonderful points. the top20 thing only bothers me in the aspect of how it is acheived for some. and i very much agree that alot of the artists who get on there totally deserve it. but every now and then ill work on a pic, and it will come out great , (in my mind at least), and no matter how recognized i am, or how many people have me on their favorites, or what time of day i post it, i have never once been in the top20. for a while i was making pics based on that fact and all i wanted was to break into it at least once. i long since have quit caring, and have been making only what makes me feel something. And i will keep entering contestsand keep making pics and posting them. i love praise just as much as anyone else, but when something seems a bit "off" or someone has helpful advice, i want to hear it too.:)~isis~~

i would like also to add to all of your very well made points, that i do post alot of pics, and i do get alot more comments than i used to. once people see something they like, they tend to come back to it, like some women and chocolate, or men and sex..(sorry for the stereotype..ok..no im not :P) but anyway, i know i go in the chat all the time and spam my pic and thats how i got to know alot of the people here, but it saddens me that no one ever says, "hey, you know, i could show you a better way to do your hair.." or " i think if you spent a little more time on a pic, it would be alot better"..or "her eyes looked crooked..". every now and then it does happen, but most of the time i spam the pic and everyone just comments about how much they love it. which i mean is ok by me that people like it, otherwise i wouldnt post at all and id just keep it all to myself, but i would also like people to be able to share their thoughts and opinions and critisisms. i dont, for any reason condone being mean to someone. dont go spoutin "hey you suck, your paintings sucks " etc etc, just give helpful comments and suggestions, and then ooh and aww over how gorgeous it is:) i have found myself not making any of those comments before, but i will make sure i do now in the future because for some, (like myself)without guidance, or help, find themselves doing the same thing over and over again. much love to all here at rosity and i hope you all have a beautiful week.:)

yeah, its sad i guess.

i do agree there, that there is nothing the administrators could do, but the members could do something about it.

i think we should leave it the way it is, it is very convenient for everyone. but thats just my pov

it is gorgeous! a wondderful tut!

thank you for the fast response
