Beautiful "Goodbye" render! Sorry to see you leave, but I do understand your reasons. Best wishes!

Thank you very much 😊💝

I'm not leaving, I just stop posting render 😊

a sweet traveler saying goodbye. looks very photo like. well done. like/faved it. hope you return someday. not into AI myself. us poser users and photo takers/Daz users are dropping in comments these days. thanks for sharing.

Thanks a lot 😊💝

I'll stay and yes, maybe one day I will post again, but before that a lot has to change at this place 😊

Hey! Das ist aber leine schöne Meldung. Hoffe doch, das du nicht ganz untertauchst.

Keine Sorge, so ganz verschwinde ich ja nicht und ich werde weiterhin meinen Senf bei dem einen und anderen Render dazu geben 😊

Wow, Nena, I just found you here (through lordi and a few others) and now your no longer posting. Well let me tell ya, I came here in 2D and Photography, and those galleries are now in the basement by the boiler room, where we drink water from broken pipes, and scrounge for whatever scaps of food they throw us from "upstairs". Ok, it's not that bad, but I totally understand your feeling. With the Charts and quantity-over-quality and all the rest, we're becoming relics. I will write down your URL, and visit it, and hope that one day maybe this site will change...In the meantime, I can tell you that your gallery is a delight, your artistic sensibilities are wonderful and real and from the heart and soul, and catching you in your last weeks here has been a delight! I'm gone more than I'm here, so I'm no one to argue...When you come back, and go traipsing through the rubble (with smoke in the background, and stray dogs sniffing for scraps or bones), you can say, "I once posted there..." I get it! You brought a lot of beauty here, and I hope you continue to, on your site. Your render, above, is perfect, btw. All the best to you, truly---you deserve it!

Thank you very much anahata.c 😊💝

Relics, that sums it up!

And thank you one more time for your kind words 💝 I like the picture you draw with your words: traipsing through the rubble (with smoke in the background, and stray dogs sniffing for scraps or bones)

I wonder, if I'm able to create such a scene :D When ever you'll find time, my page is always open 😊

Bis später.

Viszlát később, kedves Anna! 😊💝

I'm very close to doing the same. With everything going on in real life lately, I feel much the same about the AI stuff, multiple (gallery limit) uploads EVERY DAY by the same people, etc. etc.

This is a lovely parting scene, my friend.

Thank you very much Rod 😊💝

You're right and it's a shame to see a once thriving gallery with beautiful art is going down hills so fast.

It's a great image but the message is sad...on the other hand, I understand what you feel...I tried other sites in order to leave Rendo but they're as bad as this one...so...all the best.

Thank you 😊💝

No other sides for me, AI is now all over, doesn't matter which store and which page. I have my own page and with that my own gallery, kind of an hermitage lol Started it about 2 years ago, just for the fun of it 😊

I take it seriously that critical comments are welcome? Maybe a cat by her side would be great. Or better a dog? Cats are so independent. She gives me the feeling of a professional traveller, always ready to drive away and look for the next place to tell people that they are not worth her time, boring and hype-junkies, and then she goes home to make hot chocolate for one person. Overinterpretation? Maybe. But there is really a strange image-text gap between smile and the message. Nevertheless, I wish you a nice weekend.

Thank you for your comment 😊

And yes, critic is welcome :) A cat, yes, but for a move it would need to be in a transport box 😊 and the dog, honestly, I simply forgot the dachshund, that's in all render with her.

Well, this part: "She gives me the feeling of a professional traveller, always ready to drive away and look for the next place to tell people that they are not worth her time," almost sound like an insult and I wonder, what your aim it is with that.

Since this render is about me and my not longer posting here, I think, what you wrote is addressed to me. And it gives a bitter taste. The gap between smile and text lies in your interpretation, cause I haven't written a single word about leaving. But it's your opinion and as long you're feeling fine with it, you're welcome.

Wonderful render.
Good luck and enjoy riding the wave💝🥰🤗

Thank you very much 💝🥰🤗

Amazing render! I can understand: I used AI sometimes, but just for fun and very rarely, I'm not a fan...

Thank you so much 💝🤗

It's fine to play with it, I did it, when it came up some years ago. And I got bored very fast, cause something important was missing. The soul of a picture.

I fully understand your reasoning but feel it is not the right thing to do.
I have, since I joined, posted nearly 4000 images. For starters, my own web site is not big enough to host that many images, plus, some time back I posted only to my own site and got zero visitors - no-one saw my art.
I post here and, on average, 3 or 4 people see my work - that is 3 or 4 people more seeing my creations than I got on my own site.
I have never claimed to be any good at this, but at least knowing that 3 or 4 people have seen my creative output gives me the satisfaction of knowing that it has been seen by someone other than me.
I also write and record music - 15 albums so far - and I have the same problem inasmuch as nobody hears what I have done. I am the sole listener to my own work. That's probably why I do less music these days - no outlet for it. :-(
I will just finish by saying that, when I view the galleries here, I filter out the AI stuff as I don't want to see output that is solely machine created.
That's it. I've said my piece and wish you well.

Thank you very much 😊💝

I understand what you say, and the web space could become a problem one day (maybe) and then I will find another solution. Maybe I will come back, maybe I will activate my account at cara again. I know, that people see my render on my page, most don't write a thing, that's fine with me :) But I don't have the risk, that my pictures will be buried after 2/3 days and no one will see them anyway, cause people don't scroll that much.

I never put my writings online, only back in the days, in the time of active forums, that was fun. About your music, I think it's a shame, that no one hears it. Do you have it on a special side, your own or another?

And please, don't underestimate your work with the renders you're making, cause they are beautiful. You are better than you think you are. But I get it, I think the same about myself and for a long time I had a problem, when someone called me an artist. My answer was always: I only compose, that's not art. Well, finally I was able to accept being called an artist :)

You're right, I think the same: when you make a render it's your mind, your soul and your hands working at it.

😊💝

My music is on my phone, my PC and CD's only. Some of it was on my web site for a while but that space problem was still there and, in the end, the music went to make way for other content.
It's also not good enough for the big music sharing sites so, no, it remains in limbo, never to be heard by the wider world.
Still, it gave me pleasure to create and still provides pleasure to listen to - and I do listen often. :-)

That's a shame, still, really. You know that Soundcloud is free to upload and share music? And there are pages for free to share pictures and even hotlink them into the own homepage, like https://postimages.org/ May I ask, if you still have your webpage?

I do still have a web site. It's not large and hasn't been updated for a few years now and it's written in pure HTML - which shows how old it is. :)

http://www.staticon.co.uk

Not updated since 2007 and some of the links are now dead as is the email address on the contact icon.
Still, it is there if you wish to waste a few minutes. :-)

Thank you so much 💝

Old pages are never a waste of time, often there are precious little moments to find and I already found some, looking forward to look for more later :)

@NenaLuise (sorry not finding - not searching enough(?) - the replay button) Yeah, all was my interpretation. It starts with your 'I don't post here anymore, only in my own gallery'. Followed by all the things you don't need (mass production...) sounds like a criticism, turning away and (the wide range of) leaving (whatever happened to the account). 'I'm happy on a daily base...' is a nice approach. But if you put it in direct opposition as here, the 'different from you' is not to be overlooked. There wasn't even one non-pejorative term on your list: Not the masses, AI, quantities, not the high rank in charts, not the points to buy stuff, not the dopamine kick. And as someone who wants to continue posting here I felt like someone stabbed me from behind (not in the forum, not under my posting) with a smile (excuse the figurative language :)). And I had a deep wish to point this out.

No need to search, there is (sadly enough) no reply button.

If you felt attacked, well, it's not on me, it wasn't my intention at all. We had not a single interaction before, but amazingly you reacted on this post here. The Why is left to you, not a question I ask! With that said, no answer needed nor wanted :)

Btw. critic is wanted and allowed, as long it is about the picture itself. Everything else is a matter of a private conversation and don't belong in a public area. Your interpretation and your feelings, well, the emphasis lies in the word "your" That's the way you see things, other people may see it different.

Trying an insult is not "pointing something out". I said clearly, what isn't MY! thing. You seem to have a problem with that. So please let it be, I haven't attacked you and I don't like to be attacked from you.

Wishing you all the best for your future.

Schade, ich mag Deine Bilder...

Danke Dir von Herzen 💝

Ich brauche eine Auszeit und komme mit Sicherheit irgendwann ganz zurueck. Vielleicht, sobald ich mein neues Zuhause gefunden habe (Daenemark dieses Mal) irgendwann naechstes Jahr. Oder diesen Winter, wenn die Schneemassen mich im Haus "gefangen" halten. Und meine eigene Homepage mit Gallerie steht ja auch zur Verfuegung :)
