Call me traditional, but I like the girlie fairy to wear something like a dress or a skirt type of thing. Could be as little as a few wisps.

Okay, I don't draw (because I can't) but I do a lot of photography and photo alteration.. do these count?

Re: Re: Photography?

Tolyk,
They turned out well!
"do they count"?...well...photos (altered or otherwise) "count" or "qualify" in the illustrated story catagory in Literotica.

In general I have been steering THIS thread away from photography, as there are other threads (and forums) devoted to that medium. Though I do not deny photography as a ligitimate illustration technique.

This thread is not so "hopping" that I should get all exclusive...especially considering it is your own work and well executed.

stand up and be counted.

Thanks Rhino, didn't know you'd been steering away from Photography, I've not read the entire thread, though I stop in to look at pictures every now and then.

I also didn't know that you could use photos for the illustrated stories, hadn't really thought about it at all I suppose.

Also, thanks for saying they turned out well. When I stumbled upon that feature in Photoshop I found that they looked very much like line drawings.. (its just the "find edges"/"glowing edges" filter)

Anyways, thanks again

Oh, and where might these other threads/forums for Photography be located?

Tolyk,
Well apparently I have UNsubscribed to the one i HAD been looking at. I look later...."B/W..something" (photography?)...or "Black and White something"

I really LIKE it, but there is SO much on the internet these days...that I focus on drawn or painted or sculpted work.

The other place I was thinking is the whole amature pic forum. Overall the threads tend not to be very "artistic" (vs graphic or explicite).

If THIS thread ever becomes popular...well THEN perhaps it would be tim to start a lit members' art photography thread.

The most important aspect of images on this thread (to me) is that they be "erotic" and crated by Lit members. THere are also a few threads devoted to showcasing "plundered" images from the WEB (often with not credit givn to the creators).

I'll find that thread when I am not on slow dial up,

I'll take a look for it myself.. And as for the Amature pic feedback, where do you think those links are pointing at?

The part about plundered images is rather annoying.. I know I would hate for some of my photography to be plundered, even more so if the credit isn't given to me.. Therefore, I don't partake in the plunder of other people's works.

As for my own photography, I tend to do more works of nature than I do of erotic subjects.. Its a hobby that I find incredibly relaxing. It is only recent that I've started taking erotic pictures, and unfortunately I don't have any women around to take pictures of. (and definately not any that would want the photos to be put online)

It was nice to be able to jump into this thread though, because I have such high respect for artists. I really appreciated the feedback

Well, take care for now, I'll be around here more often.

yer traditional.

I enjoy that tradition...along with "natural" garb...leaves, feathers, shells, seed pods and the like. or just nekked.

HOWEVER, as I mentioned earlier to sweetnpetite...there is something going on with fairies these days which stretches those traditions and in some instances breaks them altogether.

Which saddens me. I think the first time I actually looked at how fairies were depicted was when I found a book from my grandmother. Printed in 1917. It had drawings in it from fairies with caps from flowers on their heads. And a little guy build from potatoes. I still have it, although it's nearly falling apart.

How about a fairy dressed in cobwebs?

I have a technical question. Could I scan a drawing that is really big? I used to do some sketching but I think it's close to A3, maybe bigger. The size you use on a standing easel. (is that correct?)

I have a flatbed which holds a magazine page and maybe a centimeter all around it. There are lots of big ones I can't scan, whole.

What I do is scan them in thirds or halves. Leave overlap! I mean, if the image is 27 cm long and you are doing it by halves, do 14cm and 14 cm, so that you can overlap the resulting scanned images and put it back together. If you get me. (Sorry not to speak Dutch).

The black and white thread Rhino is speaking of can be found in the BDSM cafe. There is also another one there titled "erotic art with a twist."

Alright, thanks Helene, doubt I'll get around to going to the BSDM Cafe however Not exactly my area of interest.

As you wish, but its not all whips and chains, yanno.

Yeah, I know. It is also that I try to keep up with enough forums already and lit takes up too much of my time as is. Not that I have a life mind you, but still.

Thanks for the advice. My drawings are the result of a class in figure sketching, so you'll get the size, Rhino.

I had a gorgeous afternoon I wish to share with you all. I went to an exhibition on Diaghilev. It was all about the theater productions with sketches, paintings and drawings of costumes, decors and in every "room" (what is the proper word here?) they exhibited some of the actual costumes as well. It was beautiful. After three hours of looking and soaking up images I was truly sated. The most impressive thing probably was part of the back cloth of "Le coq d'or" that hung down in the stairwell, with music from Rimsky-Korsakov in the background. *sigh*

Afterwards my friend and I found out there will be a complete festival with concerts, opera and ballet in the original costumes. We decided to give the ballet a try, after drooling over all the gorgeous clothes, but no luck. It was all sold out. Bugger! We'll try to get tickets for a concert though.

I so liked the colors and the air of activity, movement. Absolutely fabulous. I think my favorite must be Leon Bakst. Reminded me of Audrey Beardsley. Now there's a Litster avant la lettre.

Thank you Tolyk!
I took it a bit further...between creating new logos for childrens' activity books!

Okay, that one is awesome I wish I were more eloquent when it comes to describing why I feel art is good.. but I don't know enough to get all technical.. *chuckle*

Rhino,

I bought a couple of cards with designs from Bakst on it. My son scanned them for me, so I can send you the images if you're interested.
Or to anybody else for that matter.
I did not attach any since you wanted this to be devoted to original work.

My "work" never got near any frame. LOL It's no more than a first attempt at different techniques. All I found out was that I like to work big, and that I truly enjoyed the way you learn to look around you in a different way. I followed up with a winter of portraits which was fun too. You can find something interesting/fascinating in every face. Very valuable, that.

I'll see if I can scan some of the figures, just to add something from me.
Kind of giving something back I guess, as I like this thread a lot.
