Yes, many things have changed and some of my old friends have gone too, but ah well Many thanks for your kind words! I do really appreciate it!

Hi! I'm pretty cool, thanks! I'm not really active on here anymore unfortunately But I try to pop on when I can to add things to the SRF pages How about yourself?

Hi friends! I've been on hiatus since late 2013, I never meant to disappear for so long, but well, life happened. I won't be as active as before (I won't be doing any linearts/renders anymore), but please shoot me message if you need anything! I hope some of you are still around..

Not at the moment, sorry

Hey you rp at all?

Thank you very much, Gums!

Well then, welcome back! (:

Hi everyone! I really want to say sorry for my inactivity. I had a wonderful time here, but lots came up in real life. I had to quit my study and move back to my parents. I wasn't be able to start a new study, so now I'm back at my parents' for a year. I'll start a job (just at the supermarket to earn some money) next Monday and I'm searching for new studies. I have a lot of other interests besides Spirit, and sometimes one takes over control and I forget all the others. But I'm in a Spirit-period again, so: Here I Am (again)!

Hey, Have you seen my new Forever Free picture, the catching the rabbit scene?

My 'Sierra' novel by Kathleen Duey came today! I'm so excited and can't wait to read it, but I really have to learn for my tomorrow's exam..

No problem. Hope it helps

@ backhorsebeth: Thank you so much, I'm sure this will help me! Thanks!

I personally use GIMPshop for all my images, but there's no reason you can't use MSPaint or Paint.net for yours.
It looks like your images may have been resized before you tried to colour them. When sharp lines are made bigger or smaller they pixellate, and you get those ugly white areas around the lines when you try to fill them. I recommend rendering your images and saving them as they are, then colouring them in and resizing them afterwards if you need to. Also, if you're going to make any free blank renders or linearts, bear in mind that Animation Source automatically resizes any images over 1000x1000 pixels, so render them smaller (around 800x700 is normally good). Then, when you upload them, they won't pixellate and they'll be Paint friendly.

One other thing: If you still have your linearts, check out this tutorial. It's for GIMP, but it might just help you anyway:

@ Rainbowkat: Yeah it's such a pity. I mean, Disney makes merchandise for movies they aren't making anymore, so why couldn't Dreamworks do so? There are so many greay things made for Spirit, but it's so hard to get!

Yeah I know what you mean, it happens a lot. Most of the times sellers from the US are selling great Spirit stuff, but they won't ship it overseas, or the shipping costs are so high it isn't worth it.

I keep on looking! I hope you'll get the PC game as well I think you mean Forever Free? It's such a sweet game!

Dreamworks don't seem to sell Spirit merchandise anymore, which is a shame D:
And I'm sorry; I thought it was a pencil case (I think I need more sleep XD)

I dislike when products are just out of reach because they can't be sold overseas. I've seen a Spirit PC game, but I couldn't get it for the same reason you couldn't get the Pencil case.

Well, you might come across another one.

@ Rainbowkat: Thanks, I'm so happy with it. It's just a pity Spirit stuff is so hard to get. By the way, it's not a pencil case, it's a toiletry! But I know there exists a pencil case. I've seen it on eBay once. It looks like this:

Unfortunately I did not win the bidding at eBay, because they did not send it outside the US.

I'm jealous of your Spirit collection.
I never knew that there was a Spirit pencil case.

Oh, alright

@ Gallopgirl: Yeah I've seen the trailer as well, to be specific, I've seen both. But it says it'll be released around December 13th

Oh, well I kinda live in England and it said it was coming out in November, I've seen the trailer and stuff

@ Gallopgirl: Where did you hear that? I thought it would be released around December 13th!

Yeah, it might come out in November

@ Gallopgirl: Hehe great to hear! My father used to read from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings when I was just a child, so I know the story and the characters for quite a long time. I can't wait to see the second part of The Hobbit in cinemas!

OMG So do I!

@ Pawface: Hello, I'm Tarunyada aka Julie. Nice to meet you too ^^ How long have you a member here? :D

@ Gallopgirl: Yeah I love Tolkien, Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit and Sam saying PO-TA-TOES is so awesome xD Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!

OMG You've got Sam saying PO-TA-TOES!

Hello, I am Pawface. Nice to meet you. :3
