You cant use <img> tags from geocities, thats why none of your ~20 attempts at posting these images have worked.

They're actually quite good so I edit out the offending tags. Everyone knows they need to cut/paste or drag geocities links into the address bar rather than clicking on them.

thank you sumaleth. i still am having trouble with the how to's of posting images without having to link to the geocities site.

Geocities, and a number of free web services, don't allow you to link directly to pictures. So you have to do one of the following;

. Just give us the URL. (as I've edited them to be above)

. Link to a -page- that includes the image (as you did in one of your other attempts, but since it only had one of the pics I killed the thread - don't need 20 threads for the same image

)

. Or I've seen some people saying that you can rename the images as blah.txt (instead of blah.jpg) and <url> those and they'll work.

Keep in mind that the <url> tags won't work if there are any spaces in the filenames.

Most geocitiers use the first method.

PS. and dont forget you can edit existing posts, no need to post multiple times just to get it right.

Yeah, geosh..um.. cities is always making everyone's life difficult.

I like very much your style! Truly nice work, and what comes to traditional media I like to work with ballpoint pen and pencils myself alongside the usual photoshopping. I'd definitely like to see some digital works by you.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with Craig "spooge_demon/worthless_meat_sack" Mullins' digital paintings but you should take a careful look on those. You can find them at www.goodbrush.com and he's also posting his stuff here.

These are great. Your style and charcoal skills look very confident. I can't think of much to crit.. well the emperor sketch looks a little flat and skewed but it seems to be the quickest one anyway. Welcome.

Hey those are nice ! You seem to be doing great in traditional media so far.
Question : Did you pause the DVD of Gladiator for your charcoal sketches ?

Been thinking of buying a player and the movie's dvd JUST to make pauses and repaints.... This movie's splendid.
