Very nice work Realquiet.

Thanks; it's nothing compared to your stuff though.

One thing you'll find out here; we're terrifically non-competitive.

If we say it's great, that's because it is...we don't attach "...but So-and-so's is better" to comments like "Your drawings are excellent".

Very nice work Realquiet. 

Thanks! I absolutely love your scribal work, by the way!

[Blaze]

Thank you.  And Tribs is correct, everyone's art has validity!  I love seeing so many people having the courage to put it out there.  I know it isn't always easy to share your "baby" with strangers.

That's certainly true.

I didn't mean to step on anyone's toes with my prior comment to Captain Hammer. He and everyone else in this thread are exceptional artists.

[Blaze]

Oh you didn't step on anyone's toes.  We just want you to know that we are all equals.  Captain Hammer is more equal since he is Pharaoh.*  LOL  His artworks rock.

Hey and you should go to the fan art thread, which is in the Books section.  It will knock your socks off!

_{* see the Weird threads!}

I doubt I could do as well with wildlife - I really like that pic.

A pencil sketch of some sandhill cranes that I did awhile back:

Wow!

And that lower crane is especially gorgeous!

[Persephone]

RQ the sketches are fantastic! I lack the manual dexterity to do anything good sketchwise, so I envy people who do that really well!

And because I did this completely by accident, and it looked so nice I kept it... My latest photoshop.



A tulip from last spring. *sigh* RIP my tulips... Gophers ate the lot!

[Murphy's Stunt Double]

Oooooo! Pretty!

That's wicked cool, Seph!

[Torvaldr]

I found it! Nice pic! Bad Gophers! Ogre smash!

Color me impressed...

Color me impressed...

What shade? a little more pink or would you like more blue? I know, burgundy!

*huggle snuggles for Torv, MSD and Tribble* Thanks you guys!
Occasionally I wonder if there's a market for selling my photos, but I really have no idea how to do it. And there is a lot better stuff out there. I tend to just get lucky.

Oh and Tribble, I owe most of my neat accomplishments to a plugin created for photoshop by Nikon... It's sort of an extension of the camera software, it allows you to play with shados and saturation and exposure and W/B all in one window... AND it works on jpg! It's a free download off the Nikon site, and I'd recommend it for anyone playing with photoshop.

Have you looked into setting up a store on Etsy?  It's free to have an account although I believe it costs something like 20 cents to post each item and that gets it listed for 4 months.  Once the item sells they take 3.5% of the price.  (That doesn't include shipping - you charge whatever you need to ship it).  It could be a relatively inexpensive way for you to judge what kind of market you'd have.
You can sell photography via CafePress as well, but I think that has more limitations and less profit in the long run.
