This is not an easy post for me - I hope I can make understand what I wanted to do ... I hope you heard about the next tutorial I'm writing at the moment (it's a big big tutorial - it'll take many months until it's finished). It is about "expression". Expression in many ways - the facial expression, the posing expression and (that's the point why I'm writing here now) the expression of an image. For this big project I need examples of various kind. Good examples and bad examples. I have to explain why an image is good or bad. What could have done better. Why something in an image is good. Therefore I need the accreditaion to use YOUR images in my tutorial. One thing before: I will critisize no matter what name you are. If I find an error (or the team - I am not be the only one who will look at these images - and some of them are not related to digital art in any way) I will bring that to the point. This criticism will be of course proofed and it'll be contructive. This is something I can promise - you won't hear something like "this image is shit" nor "this image is awesome". I've various reasons why I'm asking for this - one is that I think we're stepping not forward as much as we used to do in the past. Another is - I need evidences and examples for things I'm explaining in this tutorial and I can't do an image for each point (then this would take ages). Of course you'll be mentioned as the artist you are (as I allready did in my first tutorial). Except - this time needn't to be a pose of mine inside that image. What images do I need ? Oh - that's hard to say, I just have to look at many images and see if I can use it or not. This is a turning point of that tutorial. If I don't find enough examples I'm a bit doomed. What is the advantage for YOU. Well, you can present your art in a very different way than the galleries and I CAN promise that this tutorial will be read (it's also for free - also I'm expecting 2-3 hundred sites in the end). You will have a total different point of view at your art. There won't be a comment like awesome - if there stands "awesome" under that image I'll say why it is awesome (but honestly - I don't think any image will get such a comment). But you should be aware that I don't want you to say "No, you can't write that because it is bad for my image or name" - if you agree - there's no way back (well, I know that's a hard decission - you have to trust me a little bit) Of course I can't promise that I'll use your image - it depends on too many things. Oh - one thing left ... it needn't necessarily be a poser-image. You can crosspost this message everywhere - I really want to have as many choice as possible. So ... now it's up to you. I'm counting on YOU. If you want me to let me use your images please post a link here (or say - just use my gallery-images) or write a mail (schlabber@schlabber.org). Schlabber (Stephan Schoeneberg) a note for the admins: I'll crosspost this in the Poser, Vue and Bryce forum - I hope I'm doing right - but so I can reach as many artists as possible
