Well, contact Dmentia about it, I'm sure she would oblige you :) My take on the "everything is the same in the gallery" thingy is, if you do something that you like well enough to have others look also, it doesn't really matter if it's been done before or not. Each artist brings something of themselves to the same ole theme, whether it's new lighting, a new sword or something. It doesn't make it any less art then something no one else has done before. I do fantasy, so my stuff is always going to have elves, faeries, dragons, swords, wizards...something that is the same formula that fantasy is. But in the end, all I can do is please myself and hope that when I put it out, others like it too. But as I said, I don't get a whole lot of comments on my stuff anyway, so in reality, maybe no one else likes it except me LOL!!! Geez...maybe that's what people are trying to tell me. I would love to see a faery from you with the cutie outfits that you made for her :) Go for it and don't worry about what has been done or hasn't been done. Just worry about you and what you bring and not what everyone else brings. To continually worry and suffer about what goes on here and in the galleries does nothing for your creativity as an artist and just breeds frustration and aggravation which again is death to creativity. And this place is not worth the loss of your creativity, trust me on this one. No site is worth that. Every artist here would agree to that I'm sure. Talk to your muse...you've lost contact and she's pissed because you haven't paid enough attention to her. They are fickle that way :) But if you promise her your allegience once again, she'll come back...slowly tho' cuz she'll want to teach the mere human a lesson, but come back she will. Do your own dance, and don't worry about the house coming down around your ears. If it does, there are other places to go and hang the art you make. :) Congrats on your winning the Rhino thing, that's way cool:) Pendy
