> [@Maastricht](#): > > **Desert Geezer** , those three links don’t work for me, and I’m curious. Sorry about that. I clicked on them as posted and they worked. Maybe just feeding 'em in directly will do it.

I logged in to Webshots. Still couldn’t see Desert Geezer’s work. Maastricht, thanks for the kind words! I think you have a real ability there, for your cut-out profiles. Quite remarkable! SPOOFE, yes, I think your rendering has sharpened up and become more sophisticated. (Though there is something great about a “loose” rendering style, but it’s got to be done in a certain way . . . ) ---

Oh, and **Yosemite** , I forgot to thank you for the kind words earlier. Thanks! ---

My apologies to all. I guess you have to join [WebShots.com](http://WebShots.com) in order to see the community pictures. They do have a free membership, with limited posting privileges, but I don’t blame you if you don’t want to sign up. Just one more set of info. The pix were’nt worth it anyway, Yes they were. 😉 ---

Alright, I figured out how to use this Yahoo Photos thing, so here are mine: [link](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sir_dirx/album?.dir=1255) The first is a large drawing of a _T. rex_ skull, using my keychain as a reference. This was taken before I cut it up into 5 separate pieces (it was for my art course). I did another on black posterboard with a white-out pen, but I forgot to take a picture of that… The second is part of my final drawing in the same course. I say part, because I hung it up before taking the picture, and I couldn’t get far enough away to fit the whole thing. Anyway, it’s a 1:1 scale portrait in charcoal, about 3-4 feet tall. It’s better that you don’t see the whole thing; I messed up his right arm something awful. The third is an old drawing from way back in high school. It’s a _Daspletosaurus_ (kinda like a _T. rex_). I really only like the head; the rest is bleh. And it seems Yahoo shrunk the last one down so you can’t see anything anyway… Oh well. It wasn’t that good anyway. ---

Okay, I went to WebShots “HELP” and found out that, “due to abuse” they don’t allow WebShots pictures to be displayed on other websites anymore. If you are a member, you can look up my public albums under gottshotts, that is, if you aren’t too disgusted with Webshots right now. By the way, **harmless** , what’s your WebShots username? I’ll look up your public stuff. ---

**Desert Geezer** , nice pics! I liked your pen and ink drawing of the prickly seashell best. ---

> [@DesertGeezer](#): > > By the way, **harmless** , what’s your WebShots username? I’ll look up your public stuff. I’ve never uploaded anything. I just like to download fluffy kittens. 😃 My site with all my work is [www.suzi-quzi.com](http://www.suzi-quzi.com) Sorry for it being so commercial. It’s not like I’ve ever sold any of it. I’m thinking about hoing myself out at the flea market this weekend and see if I can make any money off of these prints that have been sitting in my store for about a month now and _maybe_ pick up a commission or two. Great googly moogly, it’s discouraging though. ☹ ---

Here’s some of my Digital Color work. > **[Sourceorigin.com is For Sale | BrandBucket](https://www.brandbucket.com/names/sourceorigin?source=ext)** > > Buy the domain name Sourceorigin.com and launch your business with a premium domain and a high quality logo. My buddy does the penciling. Then he scans it in and I do all the coloring in PhotoShop. Just a few samples up there for now. Also, the same buddy and I are JUST getting started on a short CG film… here’s the teaser site (which will soon be a full movie/diary of the film as we work on it): [http://www.the-end-movie.com/](http://www.the-end-movie.com/) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/show-your-artwork-regardless-of-talent/267947.md?page=4)
