i've come to a shortage of well lit photographs to paint! i need the members of testmy.net's help and in exchange you get to be painted or drawn, and maybe even immortalized on my growing website. www.misteradam.com so please post your pics here, i'm looking mainly for head portraits, but if its a cool pose i might do a body shot. ( no nudes) an example of a well lit photograph is one taken by a professional photographer, one without a flash, and one that has strong shadows in it, like the one of Reno or Van Buren on the 'what do you look like' thread. thanks in advance for anyone who posts, it's very much appreciated! if you have any questions, PM me and i'll edit the answers into this post if deemed necessary

fighting games don't work with a keyboard and mouse. i think halo was better on the console because the gameplay was designed around the xbox controller, and it felt perfect.

i'm a born console gamer, however, with an exeption of halo, i think shooter games and real time strategy games fit the keyboard and mouse much better. fighting game? no way a PC could outdo a console. RPG back when they were good? console for me!

look at it this way , no matter how things turned out or could have turned out, it would still be very corrupt. its human nature, so count your blessings and write some hate mail to your local government.

heres my pimp mobile except this pic is of a newer one

they'll be drillin in alaska soon

i hear they don't have toilets in france

i stopped eating fast food a while back too. it gives you more energy to eat right, the whole wheat in the morning and fruits and veggies..mmm. and hot wings. i'll never give up hot wings. but!

justin-congrats! CA3LE- wtf??? you're a daddy??? i had no idea, thats a shocker to me. damn

disturbed, i might be able to help you out. PM me if your interested. i still gotta come up with a button for my site lol i was thinking a self portrait

hey thanks for looking microwave! its my pleasure to show what im doing to you guys, you've all helped me out whenever i needed help

REH is correct, except about the magic part lol. theres no great secret to painting, all i do is put down what i see, and try to alter certain things about the colors and values to make it more interesting. but thanks for lookin! there's not much there because i'm intending this site to be a record of all my portraits i'm doing and i'll put them up as i do them. i'll eventually have a cool template and logo, and hope to one day commission portraits and other illustrations freelance...but for now i'm still a newbie : )

hey guys, i'm making a website the domain name is still updating through the DNS, so here is the IP address if anyone is interested. its an in-progress gallery of my portraits. its under construction and looks ugly, but the images are there http://misteradam.com thanks for lookin!

your saying if i send someone an image on AIM, lets say a logo for someone, and it hasn't been copyright protected yet, AOL could rip off my idea? p.s. i downloaded aim before the date you specified

i wouldnt say its an exact likeness but its close enough. im learning a new program called Painter, and i like the variety of mediums it offers. this was an oil paint simulation that i like the gruff look of. i spent roughly 2 hours on it. i usually spend 2-5 hours on portraits unless i were to do a commissioned portrait i would spend at least 10 hours getting it right. did eric see it?

remember this night?

i'm 21 by the time i get out of school i'll be most of your ages i'm in it for my BA of fine arts, seriously considering going for my MFA in painting/illustration, but it depends on the availability of work in the future

they will supposedly do it again for free, i just have to show up. worst part is fasting for it. i can't survive without my early morning fridge raids!

just like to share my experience with you all as i blow time in the library. i had my blood taken 2 weeks ago to test my triglyceride levels for school. well the results came back and it said they didn't take enough blood, so i have to go back. i'd just like to say, WTF! if they can't prick my arm to draw enough blood, how the hell can i trust them with scalpel???

ha. the hardest part of my job is thinking of rudimentary tasks for people to pretend to do so they 'don't' fall asleep edit- and telling them to stfu when they complain about meal breaks

i buy the games i really want to play but don't get the time to ever finish them

i wonder what unlucky journalist intern at microsoft got stuck with the job of learning l337 speak

swimmer- thanks for the tip! i trust your judgement ( i don't like the cow logo anyway) stank ho- do you know a good link/ tutorial on building a pc? the most hardcore thing iv'e ever done inside a computer is install RAM..which i messed up with and had to call tech support lol
