@kiwi: That would be wonderful to have this thread in a spotlight section one day ^-^ I feel like because of all the amazing people who come in here it is well deserved for sure. Also I forget to answer your one question before, yes showcasing is just showing off any art you feel comfortable showing us all. Be it photography, digital, traditional, collages I don't care. Its just so that everyone feels like were all contributing in some way to making this place even better :)

Its okay, I know now being older that people are always going to try and bring you down to make themselves feel better and that in truth they are truly the ones to be pittied in the end.

Yes I am still doing those little creatures xD I just was on hiatus for a bit cause I had pneumonia for like a month

I agree I love that this is inclusive of all walks of art and not just artists but art lovers too. We are truly a family and we need the support of one another to do what we love to do :)

@Saeyra: I agree with you fully on that. I don't think most of them truly understand what it means and what we go through to get to that finished piece some times and to have it trashed just twists your insides so much it hurts. Constructive criticism is fine, otherwise we would never learn but there is a line no one should ever cross..

@Saeyra: its okay im not overly worried about it, I still appreciate it trust me without you I wouldn't of gotten any of them!

@Saeyra: I don't think so lol I missed the last two events at least, and I even missed last months crate items which literally hasn't happened since before the blackout xD I have a few things Ill have to keep an eye out for in the market for a bit lol

@Dread Pirate: Well then you have to wait till at least Thursday, lessons take time and concentration you know we cant rush these things :p

@Dread Pirate: Well I don't even know anymore if I should be your teacher, its been how long since you came to class? Maybe I should expel you..

@kiwi: Aww Kiwi you are seriously such a kindred spirit I hope you know that! You haven't even been active in here long and already I feel like you have fully embraced the concept of this thread and have already become such an important member of the VAG family! - jumps on you-
I am happy if even once person artists or artist lover can call this place "home" because then it means weve done what we sent out to do!

Hmm I used to post on deviantart but Ive never really been one to post much of my work online..Perhaps I should change that lol Now its mainly here where I post everything Ive done, am doing or have finished :p

Also thank you, I try and make every user feel welcome here and to feel like Ive known them forever! Its something I strive to do on a personal level because I know how hard it can be to feel alone and how hard it can be to feel like you don't belong? So I never want anyone to feel that way. I just have to work harder at posting everywhere and not just several threads so I can actually reach everyone and shower them in positivity!

@Mandy Amour: I just got a full wonderland set wooould you like it for 20k?

@Mandy Amour: Haha just catching you up with all the event items you missed. Don't worry I think this is the last time! XD

@Mandy Amour: I'm not trying Babe ;D

@Mandy Amour: Oh just working on the Item Museum today with Ely. Can't wait till its gonna be released. It's got all the previews of all the items that have been released so far, aside from commons. :vanora_smile:
