In the realms of darkness Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Oregon Posts: 46 | Back and revealing skeletons in the closet Hello, It's Jadine. I started here back in Jan 2004, I found fantastic artists that I looked up to more than anything on the internet. I drew from their drawings to learn anatomy and wanted to be the best. I wanted to be looked up to just like my heroes. Well, being young and stupid I posted something I shouldn't have that I heavily referenced, and boy did it get noticed. It even started a thread on this very sight. http://www.lilymud.net/showthread.ph...ghlight=jadine and I got talked about, and talked to a whole lot, (not very nice things, but I deserved it) I got warnings and even encouragements to branch out on my own, so I started to pay more attention to my art and less attention to my heroes. I decided to try my best and be me, instead of them. . . Anyway, I'm back and better than I used to be, I study anatomy from books and photo's now, and I come up with my own poses rather than looking at other peoples. It's been 7 years since that posting about me. But I've been wanting to talk about it since. |

Good job addressing the issue and bettering yourself for the experience. ![]() __________________ KaseySnow.com “Without some goals and some efforts to reach them, no man can live." ~John Dewey |

![]() You did the brave, mature thing by admitting to it and have clearly learned from it, so there's no reason anyone should harass you about a mistake made a long time ago. __________________ | |
