It's really old so it wouldn't show up on the main page anyway. The pictures are listed there in order of submission date.

They will still go into the featured images gallery so it's not entirely pointless.

Just a ramdom question but why did the Featured Picture star icon vanish from all featured pictures?

They say it was removed somehow, and I have no idea if they're gonna put it back. ;[

I've been asked about that before also, and I have no answer for that.

Say Battou, do you have anything against me or my suggestions? I mean you respond to everyone except me, and I am not the only one that thinks that pic should be featured, just be honest.
You could at least take my suggestions under consideration, I don't like beeing ignored.

Simply amazing. The colors of the fire and the backround are beautiful along with the dragon itself.

Watercolor artists do need more credit these days. Cause one wrong brush stroke and yeah the pic is trashed; that is if it's dark color on your brush but yeah xP

Actually as long as you're not using a lot of paint and a little bit of water, you can almost completely "erase" errant brush strokes with a tissue. If you're trying to get a really dark color, it's safer to do a few layers of a lighter color instead of going dark all at once.

That's one of the worse watercolor I've seen. The Dark areas are done with black, I'm not a purist (say, no black and no white) but that area has no depth. It's best to apply dark areas by glazing rather than a single wash alone.

Anyway, I think this turned out brilliant, they caputured Russel's expression rather well along with his eyes and they did pretty good on the clothes too.

This is something many users do not. By pointing out flaws he is trying to get the expectations better known to those who are frequently suggesting imagery.

I have a keen eye myself too. I just wish he would stop treating me like I was blind though. Just because I am near sighted doesnt mean im blind like a bat. -3-

I try to look between the lines of pictures and go for ones that tell stories without words. (Which is why I dont go for pics that mostly are of just people standing there unless it looks like an actual photo etc)

Also he needs to stop thinking that everyone else's opinions are stupid >3> that irks me to no end. Not like we are all jesus right?

Seriously though that russel crowe pic has some promise. I have drawn realisms in the past and I know how hard they can be to perfect. Give that person a pat on the back at least.

[quote]I have a keen eye myself too. I just wish he would stop treating me like I was blind though. Just because I am near sighted doesnt mean im blind like a bat. -3- [/quote]How many of the pictures you suggested have actually been featured?

The Russell Crowe picture isn't bad, but the contrast (or lack of it) annoys me. It probably looks better in person, and it's so easy to correct it in photoshop or something. Neutral

One of the comments posted on that dragon picture by Sarah is kinda funny.

The one of Roy mustang, by Psy, the Code gease picture by same artist, the Byuakuya picture by another artist. Need I say more?

Really though take other peoples thoughts into consideration before blasting a picture behind there back Moon Ki. I dont tolerate that sort of behaviour so unless you dont like the picture, keep hush hush dont blast it and say "Oh mah god thats the worst watercolor I have ever seen!" really that is rude. That person spent alot of time on that picture. Some nice advice would be appreciated instead of smashing the person's pride into bits.

Not bad if I do say so myself the shading is ten times better than what I could ever accomplish

I hope your standard for suggesting things isn't just "this picture is better than what I could do."

(And it's really weird to call someone by something that's not their username if you aren't friends with the person.)

Please that is not it, or else I would be suggesting thousends of pictures a day london xP

The picture is very good though come on just look at the detail. The coloring is top notch too.

Also I have my reasons for calling him what I do. Family related lets just say. (I dont like to call someone the same name who shares a name of my cousin)
