Geez Josh, That's some really nice work you have there. I havn't seen it until now, but I like your style, really cool stuff. Congrats on your Apprenticeship status.

paxx: this is what I said, for personal use. For me to ask an Author like Treetog for permission in my early stages of design and production, well I don't think I am even ready for that. So here I am, satisfying my personal use as a user. But am I correct in saying what we are looking to do here is produce unmatched styles and graphics to add to an already created skin in order to avoid permissive rights from an author, or create a hodgepodge of addons to go with the original
Here's an analogy. "The whole thing is like walking through a thorny thicket with a fully opened can of worms." However, the "idea" has merit as it could lead to a fresher if not newer way of skin production provided all the artists would act in a community spirit with the newcomers. If not, then we will have an application soley for personal use, which then would take away from SkinStudio as a means to create and also renew skins as a learning experiance which is what I do.<br
OMG!! I am not sure that turned out right.
Like you said, feeding trolls only gets you larger piles of crap.
UH-OH BoXXi, Jark is gunnin' for ya, it seems you were spreadin' false sayin's
HeHeHe, Old Crab missed me. oooohhhh, this place is full of cobwebs already.
Snarph was right too. I just need further clarification for my oxygen depleted brain. Had turkey and dressing tonight
/me Hi Peff, I hope this works (color thingy). Yeah Dell seems to be an excellent choice, but I think I will stick with a desktop model for now, as much as I would like a laptop, but the price
/ I just ate dinner, there is no blood in my brain.
Well, I see I have not gone color blind, so what am I doing wrong here?
/I am just trying this red text thing, please pay no attention to my follies.
OOOPs sorry, pushed the wrong button
I said, I hope nobody see's that black gooooooeeeeey stuff ooooozzzzzzing out of the ground in the back field
Well, I am done. No offense to anybody was intended. I just had to speak my piece on this important issue, and I respect everyone else's valuable opinion as if it were my own.
I speak from the view that as art, it cannot be changed by someone else no matter how well done. An artist work can only be changed by the artist themselves, otherwise if done by someone else no matter how good, the art has lost it's "value" as such. I know of no artist that would accept this. I looked at all the Builderblinds we have here at WC and I marvel at the ideas they represent. Sure, they look silly now, but they record a certain posterity that should never be changed.
But that is the thing you see, already the burden to satisfy the user is put upon the artist which you say has not the time in the first place.
As a user, I would rather the artists I respect create the update, or not. To have someone else presume to know what the original artist had in mind would be a form of forgery, and I know I would feel somewhat cheated even if the patch were perfect.
I think the flood of patches would be enormous and to much to choose from in the end. Innovation comes from pushing the envelope, not so much recreating the wheel, since it is already round. I believe the original artist should decide whether to update or let it die, after all, it is his creation.
That's the spirit Mr Grupps, I rejected so many of my own wallpapers before I submitted any, it wasn't funny. But I fianally hit on something that seemed to do all right.
Now all I have to do is sell the farm. I just hope nobody see's all that black gooey stuff oozing out of the ground in the back field.
Then Dell it is, -can you still spare aa dime mister?
I didn't mean you are old, just the thread or post.
I thought I had read something of a tiff over there between you and..., but it also was old, so as things go, so did I.
