Ramblings....
I just published my first set as a Featured Artist... I still can't believe I have a shiney Gold badge!! I'm still amazed at the fact that a little over a year ago I was just stepping into this mess called meshing! And, now, I'm addicted AND a Featured Artist here on TSR... It's simply amazing!
When I stumbled upon TSR YEARS ago.. and found out that there were objects that you could download and play with in the game... I was awed that there were people that could do this - make these fantastic objects - AND.. that most of them shared their stuff freely.. I admit I refused to pay for a subscription for a LONG time... and then I broke down and paid for a 3 month subscription!! LOL I simply HAD to have CycloneSue's creations... yes, it was her fault!!! :D Then, as I explored the site more and more... I found Cashcraft, and Riccinumbers... Angela... Shakeshaft... ShinkoKCR... ohhh the list is endless..... and so were my download lists!!! And, I dreamed of someday creating my own objects... and I must admit I secretly wished to be a Featured Artist... :D (no kidding) Then... I started reading tutorials and making paintings for the game... One day I sent a PMs to Ricci and Sue asking for help for something... and the rest is history... Sue and Cath dragged me kicking and screaming thru meshing and mapping... texturing and shading... baking... (Simman_123) had a huge hand in that!! Angela dragged me thru transparencies... FA's and SA's alike answered my questions patiently and with perfect clarity... And... here I am... still completely amazed and utterly honored to have been chosen to be a Featured Artist for TSR!!!
I want to thank Sue and Cath, Angela and Renate, Gea Kris Ana on and on and on!! For everything... the patience, the kindness... and A HUGE thanks to Thomas too... and the rest of the hard working staff at TSR for allowing me to share my creations here!!!
HUGS to you all!!
