"Up Front" UPDATES

[RobLivesInTexas]

Well... the "primitive" one was from a couple days BEFORE (the 22nd), and not mine.

The links I provide (here) always go to the NEW page, which features the new images in chronological order, therefore are will all (previous links too) will always be whatever is mostest current.

Sorry I misread that. Anyway, I stand by what I said about your art. Thanks for clearing it up.

 

[Llehlla]

Nah. You got it.

There have been new posts, up front, since my last update...therefore the link has bumped the "primitive, single post, DOWN the chronological list, and is no longer the newest.

And my crazy syntax is due to the fact that I am dictating (because I have a cast on my right hand) these messages and not bothering to go back and clean them up. I just dictate and however, the wizard inside my phone hears what I say and types it out for me, how it shows up. I’m too tired to care.

Throbbs said it was "primitive" in execution, so I assume he meant old-school pencil on paper. I hope I was reading that correctly. Anyway, I like his art (and yours!) a lot precisely because they look like "art", whatever that means. Some of the things that appear here "look" like they were done with AI. That's okay, but it seems impersonal to me, more like a photograph showing the Eiffel Tower or the Leaning Tower of Pisa (notice the phallic monuments). Art like Yours, Throbbs, and a few others have personality all over them. I like them as art, but they also tell me about yourselves. And for me, that personal communication is the core of any art, visual, musical, dance, literature, etc. In my own field of music, I've heard so much routine music that is passed off as high art, but the really great music reaches into my soul from the composer's soul.

I feel the same way you do about any and all of the arts and to whatever humanity is expressed through it that speaks to me as a human being. Thank you very much for considering me an artist whose work let you know I am an individual, a real person, with a heart and mind that seek connection.

Re primitive: I can connect easily with primitive work. Primitive work that is authentic honest, created with intention, can speak clearly to me. I think the word that would better describe the image which I frankly did not like is “ crude.“ And I think I should not be saying negative things about other people work like this, but I did have a strong negative reaction to the image. Throbbs was referring to so I wrote “agree“ before my better self could stop me. I’ve gone this far. Let’s just say I think the drawing is dumb and crudely executed, the drawing I’m speaking of was not done by Throbbs . That’s it I’m done.

I think I’m following your system correctly. If you say there are four new images today I click on your link and go look at the latest four images… since I do this most days i think I’m current.

new ones today (Saturday, May 25,2025)

2 by one person, somewhat "naive" in execution. and one CGI type - *meh*

I want to say what I think about the artwork, but don’t know if it’s the right thing to do. Is it snarky to make Less than positive comments about another person‘s work? Who looks at this thread? Do you think the artists who are published in the artwork section look at this thread? I’m just not sure how open I can be.

 

[Llehlla]

*shrug*
Could follow "mama's ad,vice"

Most who post there, do not seem to come here - at least not to participate.
One could give honest opinions, without totally "trashing".

OK. I think in general, I am not fond of drawings that look like they were done by a teenager change that that look like they were done by a teenager who is not very talented…“ Naïve in execution“ as you put it. Not a fan. Also I have yet to see CGI images which I don’t click right on past. to me, it belongs in its own category so that people who want to see it don’t have to look at hand drawn things and people who don’t want to see it. Don’t have to look at it while they’re searching for art that has the human touch.
(I have to reiterate that I am dictating these messages and it’s a pain literally and figuratively to go back and put in the correct punctuation and fix dictation mistakes so I just leave them.)

Now that I think of it, my mother never gave me that advice. And she modeled the opposite shall we say?

 

[Llehlla]

Yes, I know quite a few who do not practice what they preach.

MY mom, on the other hand, she was pretty good at that. I'm one of the lucky ones, in that respect.

Luckily, my father did live as an example of kindness, consideration, tact, and fairness. I was very lucky in that way.

Six new ones today (Sunday, May 26, 2024)

I’m noticing a number of people are adding the comment that all characters in the image are over the age of 18.

 

[Llehlla]

I noticed that too. Just coverin' their asses?
This latest was a new member.

It is a bit more curious with drawings.

Agree

My advice to these artists is stop adding the the disclaimer and just make your characters look like they’re adults! The new images today looked pretty darn adult to me so I didn’t understand the need for the disclaimer. Some in recent days, in my opinion, shouldn’t have been put up at all…even with the disclaimer.

 

[Llehlla]

I have begun adding to my illustrations:

"Drawn in an environment which often contains at least one nut"

Funny on several levels!

 

[Llehlla]

Two today. (Monday.May 27. 2024)

One "DAZ" (or whatever CGI) *meh*
One pushing the boundaries of age ("19 year old" with mommy/daddy theme)

I reported one drawing. I’m sick of it. There is nothing erotic about that..

Is that person screaming for attention? Why else would they continue with this rule breaking/not real rule breaking because the artist said the character is 19?

 

[Llehlla]

Submitted my 100th post (last?).

Probably not, but LIT isn't all that satisfying.

well, this makes me very sad.

mostly it makes me sad because I don’t like hearing that you are unsatisfied. I hope you’ll stay around, but if you don’t, I hope even more that you will find a site that’s more engaging and fun. You have so much talent and personality to share..

 

[THROBBS]

Thank you.

Oh. I'll probably still hang around. I just question posting more images up front, as it feels rather fruitless.

Too much work.

And, I've felt this quite a few times in the past, yet here I is.
"I got nowhere else to go" (I'm no officer nor a gentleman).

I agree about the upfront posting. It’s worth it for stories obviously because that’s the only way stories get seen , but for art I find my thread offers much more human interaction.

 

[Llehlla]

. <Maybe this much more.

wow! You even know how to put emojis or whatever that is in your messages! I would say that if I had the energy to maintain private messages or conversations or whatever they’re called with people I would have a very busy “social life.“ Maybe that’s because I’m a woman. It’s not the case in real life! But I guess you have to go out and be among the people to establish and maintain a very busy social life or any social life at all. I can’t do either, the online or the in person sustained interactions. That spoon thing still restricts me.

 

[Llehlla]

I hear ya.

There's heaps of stuff buried in the tool bars. And yet... not always just what you want.

I don't get many PMs. I generally do not initiate them either — I feel women must get inundated with creepy dude messages.

I found the Pinchy fingers! Yay! But it’s strange that you have to think up what you want a picture of and then see if it’s available rather than simply laying out all of the choices like my phone does. I might not know what I want unless I see it I wasn’t sure where the Pinchy finger was since it didn’t show up in the first set of emoticons emoji images whatever the hell those things are called so I put in “hands” no luck. Then I I just guessed and put in “pinch” and there they were! I don’t initiate PMs and though I have received requests and with a few made an attempt to build the conversation it became a parent that I don’t have the spoons to keep that up. I continue to dictate these messages so poor in tax punctuation mistakes, etc.. I’m just letting them slide.

 

[Llehlla]

I generally click on the smilies icon and then scroll. If you hover over a particular icon you'll see the descriptor (and text code).


Sometimes I'll take a stab at a description to try and find something.

In this case, I had no idea if there WAS a "just this much hand/fingers", but knew there were a pile of hands/gestures, so I scroll to those and found the one. Then highighted and increased the font size (sometimes that doesn't seem to work, tho')

Wow, I am actually truly impressed by that. You’ve opened up a whole New World to me. I knew it was a justice much gesture, but I didn’t think I could put that in as a search word/words so I just put pinch.

 

[Llehlla]

Two yesterday (Tuesday, May 28, 2024)... whoops, I didn't post about them. Not that it really matters.
And One today (Wednesday, May 29, 2024).

Same link

Is it just me….?
Technically, I think one of them is well done, perhaps even arousing, if one likes one’s mate to be built like a mare?

 

[Llehlla]

Neigh. It probably isn't just you.

However, I was not aroused by any of the three.

NEIGHHHHHHHHH! NEIGHHHHHHHH! NEIGHHHHHH!
Not even YOU?
