Anyone interested in playing a game of 7tv:Fantasy with me? I have heard of it, heard a lot about it, but have never played it. If our respective schedules allow, I would like to play a game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and you're an actual seadog. True story: one RCon at the old hotel, Izzy was playing Irish drinking songs on her guitar, and asked if anyone knew the words to Wild Rover. I said, but she wouldn't like my singing. I was assured it would be fine. So I sang. And Izzy said, "yeah, we probably won't do that again." 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goddesstio Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 8 hours ago, Cygnwulf said: With all the MFR awards being announced only a couple of months before the con, it can be VERY tempting to try to put something in every category but that's a very quick way to burn yourself out and not put your best work into any of them. Here's what I do in situations like that. Pick ONE that either A ) stands the chance of being your best peice B ) that you're feeling the strongest about or has the strongest concept, or C ) is closest to completion. then I'lll put the others aside and focus on that one. If I need to keep a palette clenser around to switch between I'll go ahead and grab my number two, but try to focus more of your time on one of them. When one of them is done, you can re-evaluate. And, I know this from personal experence, if you're recovering from a nasty illness, plan on doing only short sessions with ample breaks. You don't realize how much energy stress painting can use and you are going to have less than you're used to. This, exactly. Tentatively I'm in, I'll see if I have anything good to bring or not. I think what's most frustrating is that I was working on Grimtalon as an entry, but not a prayer he's going to be done at this point. And I may have to scrap the diorama I was going to do, which I was really hoping I could enter and get feedback on as its going to be a gift. It might still make it, we'll see. I may take a day off work and just try and paint. I'm also sad because I have to give up on doing a CVP entry as well, since I haven't even started it at this point. I have become a huge fan lately and I wanted to have something done up, but just not gonna happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may take a day off work and just try and paint. You can still bring it and get feedback from the various artists who have been judges, without entering it in the contest. In fact you'll probably get better feedback in person than you would by entering it, since judges have so little time to spend on individual entries the night of judging, and Sunday morning they are mobbed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 6 hours ago, PammyD2 said: That is awesome!!! One of my favorite songs that we ever sang in Choir was in French. Dirait-on. It was absolutely gorgeous! Still one of my favorites to listen to! Please sing to me!! I love hearing all voices sing their best, even if they think they can't sing. My mother is a wonderful woman who absolutely LOVES music, but she is incredibly tone deaf and can not match a pitch, but her voice is one of my favorite voices ever. She sings with such passion, and if I just listen to her sing and no music, I can almost think she is on pitch! But it doesn't matter to me, the music is still flowing through her soul, and I can feel it. So when people tell me they can't sing, it makes me sad, because everyone can sing! Everyone can release music from their soul, music to express their thoughts or emotions, and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about it, just how it makes you feel!! In the great words of The Carpenters and out of the mouth of the lovely late Karen Carpenter "Sing, sing a song. Make it simple to last your whole life long. Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear. Just sing, sing a song!" My dear dear Pammy, I am SO bad I am not allowed near the choir of Baptist churches! Tone deaf, even my lovely sweet wife and my Mom would just stop and look at me sometimes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilhalfling Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I haven't finished any of my three entries - Painters, painter (MFG - moonlight minis) and an elaborate Diorama - but I did put in about 2 hrs work today and two of the entries moved forward. I still have two faces to finish, but the clothes are getting there - not prefect but to where I don't hate them. that reminds me I decided to completely redo a cloak - I think i can use greenstuff and a toothbrush to remove some of the paint without damaging the front too badly - I should work on that tonight. ill miss the meet and greet day but would be happy to sing for ribbons. my voice is honed by years of singing lullabies to my spawn - My fav is probably Gillgallad which Gimli in the movies refused to sing, but I learned from a British radio version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylverthorne Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Well, heck. Now I really wish I was going. ^^; Granted, there's no telling what's likely to come out of my mouth, if someone up and asks me to sing... so maybe that's for the best. <.< I haven't quite reached the running in circles panic stage of looking for a ninja shopper, but .. I might be getting there. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haldir Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 So I guess since I just bought my admission ticket, that means I'm actually going now..... Held out for the usual free one, Reaper send me for running games, but with everything going on with Reaper right now, I figured it'd be best I just purchase one. I hate seeing the goodwill gesture go to waste, but eh, what can you do? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
