Keep up the good work

Gecky I just wanted to say I love your artwork. All my life I wish I could draw like you. I have been an admirer of fantasy art for a long time and you are without a doubt one of the best at it I've seen.

I also really enjoyed your tutorial on how to do a starfield and following your directions I was easily able to create the image and I really learnt a lot from doing it. Please can we have more.

Take care

Bernard

Hello Gecko

Apology!

Hey.. A couple days ago, my friend was over, he's all interested in the tile making thing here at ice.org, but he's never made any tiles or anything. Anyway, I was telling him about how you had given me a 2 on one of my tiles just because of a silly Mario Cloud. I left for a bit to clean up my room and stuff, and left him on the computer to look at tiles.
Well, I guess he thought that he'd do a service to me and give nearly every tile of yours a vote of 0, while I was gone :( Of course he never told me until today.
Anyways, I'm really sorry. I'll go through your tiles and give them what I honestly think they should receive.
Sorry again! (and im not mad about the score on that one mario cloud tile :)

-Fydo

Fydo

Re: Apology!

Okay..

After my friends damage: Your score's about 150
After I went through and fixed the damage: Your score's about 185

:)

Sorry again about everything!
(and I noticed you made a tile with a Mario cloud in it.. tee hee!)

-Fydo

Re: Apology!

Oooh... thanks, Fydo. You have solved a mystery that has puzzled me for two days straight... :)

Hmmm

Hey, I haven't been tiling lately, a little too many other things going on at the moment. College, mostly. I'll have to go on another tiling spree soon to make up for all the lost days. :) And draw a new picture to put in the iCE Pack next month, too.. *sigh* Couldn't quite make it this one.

Re: Hmmm

You have too many 5-rated tiles....how about sharing the wealth?

Re: Re: Hmmm

You can have that ugly bird foot one. :)

Hmm...

It's not that the tablet is big. It's that I'm really small, see? *look of sardonic incredulity*

Re: Hmm...

oh. is that an A6 tablet?! =)

Re: Re: Hmm...

9"x12" is that A6? I don't know what A6 means for some reason. I know it's a size, but I don't know what size it is.

Primal_r

Re: Re: Re: Hmm...

A regular paper is A4. Half of that is A5. Half of that is A6.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Hmm...

Oh. In that case.. it's half of A6. ;)

Re: Re: Re: Hmm...

A6 = 1/4 size of A4
(big like a baby hand)

Re: Re: Re: Hmm...

so A3 is 2X A4( A4=8,264 inch x 11,694 inch )
A2 is 2x A3
A1 is 2x A2
and A0 is 2xA1

A5 = 1/2 A4
A6= 1/2 A5

Re: Re: Re: Re: Hmm...

It's my understanding that for every change in A, the length and width alternates being doubled/halved. In that case, the area doubles/halves every number, but each side length doubles/halves only every other number. So if A4 is 8.25x11.5, A3 would be 16.5x11.5, A2 16.5x23, A1 33x23, and A5 8.25x5.75.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Hmm...

no
A4=8,264 inch x 11,694 inch
a3=16.528 X 23.388 (a4 x2)
A2=33.056 X 46.776 (a3x2)
A1=66.112 X 86.552 (a2x2)
A0=132.224 X 173.104 (a1x2)

A5=4.132 X 5.847 (a4/2)
A6=2.156 X 2.9235 (a5/2)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Hmm...

Nope, here we go:

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Hmm...

no why?
this shows exactly what i said with aproximative measurement
beside something wich is really wrong in the schematic
is that an A4
is always shown horizontaly (width).

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Hmm...

No, to decrease paper size, say from A4 to A5, you halve the length of the longer side. You listed it as halving the lengths of both sides, which will actually decrease the paper by two sizes, from A4 to A6.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Hmm...

yes that's it
but if you know how it works
you will explain as the following a3= 2x a4
that was my error
was thinking if you yet had an a4 in your hands.

heinzon

hello..

feel realy bad about that shitty green tile (not so very green) .. heh. i hate when you feel like you are screwing up someone elses artwork. anyway. i actualy made it a litle bit more green and different, but still the same blending to the tiles above and under it. . i don't know, it's kind of cheating. but I e-mail it to you.. and if you think it's any inprovement. (i think it is) .. then you might want to replace it. thanks anyway. bye :)

BluJeann

Oozing

I was reading some of your conversations with others, and looking at your art work, you are really a divine gal. Your the kind who's inner beauty should be oozzing out all over the earth. I do wish you great things in life, you have a lot to contribute.

Re: Oozing

Thanks, I think. :) I've never been described as "oozing" before. ;)

tablets versus meeces

hi gecky,
what brand or type of tablet do you use/recommend??
thanks in advance for the info.

Re: tablets versus meeces

Wacom. Most everyone uses this brand. I should get a commission for recommending it to so many people. ;) Beginners usually go with the Graphire II 4x5. They've got a lot of information on the site about which is the right tablet for you, so you should be able to find yourself around pretty easily. :)

raganaga

Re: Re: tablets versus meeces

okay thanks.
i'll mention your commission to them when i purchase 8^)

This is so utterly depressing

well some people are born with a godgiven talent. Others get by with a lot of persistance. You're just too good.
(sarcastically)Well, at least I'm better with numbers and stuff.--that is I HOPE I am. (desparately trying to salvage what's left of my ego, and failing)

Keep tiling. You're an asset to the tiling community, you showoff.(just kidding)

Thanks for the advice a while back...

Re: This is so utterly depressing

Yeah. Things like Fibonacci scare me.

Re: Hello Gecky!

Looks good, you should probably try to put something in the background though.

Re: Re: Hello Gecky!

Ok i will make a vesion with a background so i will have two one that migth
work as a logo more simbolic, and one that look like a normal painting, i belive that is a good idea to make a background for my image, i will make one
so that you can judge it,

"This user has done 0 tiles representing 0 hours of work (0 weeks)"

Re: error

I don't know, sky, maybe they fixed it.. now it says 'This user has done 175 tiles representing 341 hours of work (2 weeks)' for me.

Re: Re: error

Hi, gecko!

I'm here now! Glad you here too!

Re: Hi, gecko!

Wow! Gas13! Cool! I'm so ... WOW! I mean, wow man, Gas13!!!
Greetz to you, you're the graetest one of us all!

Re: Hi, gecko!

I'm afraid you may have mistaken me for someone else, I don't really know who you are. Or, at least, I don't think I know who you are. :)

Re: Re: Hi, gecko!

he hasn't. I know Gas, and well, you could expect things much worse than that ;))

Re: Re: Re: Hi, gecko!

I don't understand.

gas13

Re: Re: Re: Re: Hi, gecko!

I don't understand too. gecko, sorry. I know another gecko :) skyfarmer, who are you?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Hi, gecko!

Maury my momma can't control me! :)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Hi, gecko!

sky, please stop filling up my userpage with dumb things.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Hi, gecko!

Sorry, my mind is glowing :(
Just wanted to get you all as confused about my person as I could.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Hi, gecko!

That's goddamn right!!!

Gecko

How do you feel with all these sayings about you?..
Looks like any moron passing by just types Gecky whatever the sentence is :)

Re: Gecko

probably you. you seem to be the only one taking notice.

Re: Re: Gecko

Well, it's pretty much like me (i have problems, YEAH, I DO), but well, no :)
is discussing the Gecky Sayings Conspiracy tabooed?.. That would explain it all!

Re: Re: Re: Gecko

No, you randomly emailing me and posting on my user pages out of nowhere when I have absolutely no idea who you are is tabooed. Mostly I just want you to get the heck away from me, which I thought I had accomplished earlier, but now you're back. Go make some real friends or something and stop pestering me.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Gecko

Sad to see you react like that... Looks like you take it all serious.
A way of inadequate reaction caused by inadequate people, I guess.
Actually, the purpose of this place is creativity, and I think I've just created something :))__ _ _

randomly emailing : heh :)
out of nowhere : why? you may have seen me before
but now you're back : does the whole thing really mean this lot to you?
make friends : impossible, look at me and my psycho attitude :)
stop pestering me : done

One question remains though: why is it so important?

Judy...

Have you ever drawn less than a five? I live in the hope that someday I'll be worthy of a gold coin from your rich treasury. You've become the dominatrix of the bitmap and I'd swear off of my smudge tool for you...XXX

Re: Judy...

Yep, I've drawn plenty of crappy tiles. I'm trying to save up on the coins though, when they first came out I gave them all away to oldbies. :)
