Title: Very soon a new Artist at work for HTC.
Post by: daddog on September 22, 2002, 10:35:18 AM
I expect by the time he is 12 or 14 (he just turned 7) the quality might be good enough for you to consider him for employment.  When that time comes please contact me and fax the contract. We will discuss salary, and the life time “family” free account. This first picture he did two years ago.

This one he did the other day. Note the natural progression, use of color, shading, balance, symmetry, ground contrast, and the four fools who head on a bigger and stronger airplane, which demonstrates his grasp of basic ACM.

That's some good stuff. And the fact that he drew all over the back of a homework assignment gets an A+ from me :D

I love seeing kids draw, really works their imagination. I'll have to scan some of my rugrats stuff.

This is great to see. I have three, boy 12, boy 9, and girl 6. The 9 year old loves playing AH offline. He is getting really good at gvs. Unfortunately, due to the nature of chat, I can't let him play online. :(

Anchor, bring him to the CT, no chat problems in there, and great friendly environment.  My six year old often sits with me and even the voice channel is not a problem in the CT.

He should give Urchin some lessons.

Checkout the squadron attacking the buff.  Sailor Malan used to have his squadron HO buff formations enmass.  So his drawing are historicly accuate as well.

Hrm.  In that top drawing there are guns sticking out of every control surface like spines on a cactus.

I REALLY need something like that modeled with about 1500 RPG.  Might actually be able to hit something with that one  :)

Cure for profane language in chat - Duct tape (what else?)

Cut a strip the width of the monitor and tape it across the bottom 2 inches of the screen.  Problem solved :)

Eagle,

The problem is what spews out of the speakers in range freq. There is no cure for that short of turning sound off. :( I use vox for squad flying so simply muting the vox feature is not an option. We NEED a range chanel squelch!!!!!!!!!

The similarity to Urchins pictures is astonishing. Colours,contrast, everything. Right down to the detail in the tracer effects.

Urchin can you please re-post some of your work? :)
