You you you indeed, Mr Ploos.

Best mind the ribs when fox trottin' doon tha lane, twinkle toes. Pick ye a partner what's not got a silver medal in Olympic weight liftin'. They hold their partners too keen aroond tha middle. Crikey. Bruised a rib? No moore trippin' tha light fandango, matey. Could crush yer pencils on yer way to the boos.

Your images are most enjoyable...:cool::cool::cool:

[eighty+]

Thanks Ken still trying I do have a go at layer's no and again but they just laugh at me :(:(:(:cool::cool::cool:

[coops]

Hi there dear Eighty just you watch yourself. Take care and stop trying to go so fast. Hope you feel better soon:)

[eighty+]

Thanks. Madam. Katie. Of the Moara it's just my feet and. I go different ways. :D:D:D:D SLAINTE

[coops]

Morning dear Eighty, just called in to see how you are. Hope you are starting to feel better. Take better care of yourself dear friend:)

[eighty+]

Hi Madame

[eighty+]

Hi. Madam. Katie sorry but my screen has become enlarged at least by 6 times. Any idea how I can get it back to normal

[D Akey]

Mr Ploos. . . if your screen is too big, step back away from it, lad. The closer yer nose is to tha screen, the bigger the image appears, oh aye. And fewer moon rivers may be in order.

Seriously tho, no tellin' what ye mean. Boot, I think ye may try rebooting yer computer as one option because the computer can get crossed up on its own sometimes and rebootin' reminds it what it should be doin'.

The other possibility is that ye could try repeatedly pressing on your keyboard the Control Key + the Minus Key (for the PC) until it's the right size -- if that's the problem.

The other possibility is that your monitor resolution might have changed from the correct one somehow when you were diddlin' aroond on some other errand.

But if you haven't done anything to make it look super large, then a reboot might be in order.

Hope it helps lad.

Nice paintin o' tha blonde. Looks like you could go into those areas you have outlined and muck it up a bit with texture in those areas for interest.

[justjean]

Well Mr 80+ of the twinkling toes, best to keep your feet on the straight and narrow :). Had puter problems I could look in and see all your lovely works of art but couldn't post but I'm back now and that last lady is lovely :D

Hi Cap'n Mac Thanks for the info tried your Fi + minus last night no joy as i thought the minus key was infact the delete key :D it was only late this afternoon that i

[D Akey]

Holy mackerel, Mr Ploos. In de Nile aboot yer layers then?

Mind the gators and keep your hands and arms inside the boat at all times. Looks as if the lads are offering the gators some Nessie sized tooth pics after eatin' the number four oarsman. That boat looks like an oar-dourves tray, ancient Cleopatra style. Princess Cruises -- the early days -- where shuffle board was played on a particularly tight deck.

[eighty+]

HI Cap'n Mac yes when fighting Layer's its like infighting with a Octepus as you well now :D and you need a line of Holy Mackeral singing just to keep yuh head above water

thats why I was :confused: as when they started singing I thought a religous chant if you know what i mean but after listen carefully it sound like happy birthday to you

Cap'n Mac Happy birthday to you but I soon shut them up as nobody likes to be told another year has hit the dust ok ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D as the mighty Caesar

[justjean]

Nice drips with that great sunset Mr 80+ along with the lady tennis player , perhaps if you merge your layers down after finishing with them each time you add one you will find it easier ( hope that makes sense ) :D

[eighty+]

Hi Jean how do you know when there finished don't you just flip around between them and why merge them :confused: your rushing me :D :D :D :D SLAINTE

Oops sorry didn't mean to rush you :), I merge them so I won't get more confused than I already am , I merge than have a look and if I like it I will go on to the next layer if I don't I will just undo the merge and continue making a mess :D

Looks like someone has been into the jam pot and your last image is looking great

[eighty+]

Hi Jean ;) :D:D was only pulling your lag I didn't know you could de merge thanks can't quiet fathom why you have to merge anyway but then I'm just a Boy from the

[D Akey]

hi or I should say HELP how do you stop the painting from moving around when using the transome tool ??? Thanks

Ahoy there, Mr Ploos. . . The best and only way for your transom to stop movin' is ta 'ead to port. This here foul gale and high seas will 'ave yer aft bouncin' ye like Ms Coops' hip-hop champeen granddaughter at a dance competition, oh aye.

If 'owever. . . I SAID IF 'OWEVER, Cap'n 'Ornblower Ploos, yer tryin' ta finish oop yer Edit/Transform. . . ye only needs press yer [Return] key. . . sort of like barkin' yer orders ta tha crew, and then snappin' yer whip, makin' it so. YAAARRRRR LAD!!!!!! An then ye 'ead ta port, ta sees Sherry's transom amidships. . . An' try navigatin' tha ol' Moon River wif some 'aggis at 'appy 'our, oh aye. . .

Nay, do no thank me, lad. . . I'll be shortly sendin' ye tha bilge.

[eighty+]

So me and the crew had a right piss-up on your stach of Moon-River's but we did'nt fancy the box of Aggis reckon they were well past there sell date YUK even the sharks turned

[justjean]

Delightful flower and must have been a hungry bunch at that supper cause the table is empty

Oh I must have forgot to tell you I traded Brighton pier for the one in Ventnor, IOW because my dear old grandpa carted over 15000 tons of stuff to help fill in for the sea wall at the Esplanade :D

and this is a copy I did of a painting by James Charles (in the Tate museum) of a gr gr... aunt Charlotte Wallder

[eighty+]

SLAINTE Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[D Akey]

JustJean, you saying that was your gr gr auntie? Or the painter's? Either way, it's a very nice copy you did here. I'm impressed. And yer grandpa sounds like a very muscled chap, helping to extend the British Empire by at least a couple hundred yards. Ah, joking aside, that really did make a lasting impact, something to be proud of.

So Mr Ploos. . . the lassie with the shooting star. . . her wish or yours? Well, four hours in the soon, laddie, fightin' tha good brush fight. . . lettin' tha shrubbery know who's still boss in that there jungle. I remember last year, was it, where you were oot there for days. Take care lad. . . mind the elves.

[limey-g]

Hi eighty hope things are well with you and the weather is good for you.
Little warm here today +32c and humid.
Geoff

[justjean]

DA, Many years ago when I started on my family history someone sent me the link and said it was my gr gr gfather's sister but I really don't know as he did have a sister Charlotte but then I believe his brother married a woman named Charlotte and the Wallders lived in Elsted and Hartings so I decided to adopt her :D

[eighty+]

Sorry. Asleep. Reply. Tomorrow. :eek: :confused:

[D Akey]

Gracious me, lad, is this some kinda reality show, eh? I see that peculiar red dot in the corner to the ooppar right tells me there be big brotha surveillance a-goin' on. Best mind yer manners, cause tha clever Lenny da Vinci invented the closed circuit camera as well. Explains a lot aboot Moanin' Leaser's enigmatic smile, as if she knows soomthin'. . . got tha goods on tha Grand Duke, oh aye, bet she does too.

So laddie, as Choost Chean pointed oot, the shadow especially oonda' that there table is a good placement to drop anchor so they do no go a'floatin oop. . . which is a pic what comes a little further doon tha line. The darks do lend a certain solidity ta tha mix. Well played, Mr Ploos! Now put doon yer brooshes an' take 30 an' hit oop tha caterin' trook. Grab ye a bagel an' lachs or soomthin'.

So it's a crucifixion ye be wantin', lad?. Well now, all I can say is "I'm Spartacus!"

Ach, laddie, how often ye see a cross wif a lad in kilts? I ask ye. . . Nay lad. No crucifixions on the high road nor low. . . Would no do at all havin' all tha passin' oot housewives lookin' opp tha kilts on their way ta market. . . but I'm open minded. . . You're from England. Maybe it's accepted as part o' tha daily experience. Boot I always thought that's why they only put the head on a pike, ta keep from 'avin the lassie's pass oot. . .

Hi 80+.
It is a pleasure to follow your thread and your ping pong game with Mr D AKEY !
Thank you for your comment about my english. I'm french (nobody is perfect) but I spent most of my working life in global companies in which a good practice of english is a question of survival.
Regards. Chris.

[eighty+]

scuse Chris bonjour vous'ave la chance je parle francais venir un anglais ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D Merci

hi just found that I can drag back some old ones and tart-up :cool: :D :D :D :D :D :D SLAINTE

[D Akey]

Hoot and toot laddie. . . you're one iconoclastic, icon bustin', bus ridin', high holy days re-framin', meister artist, I dare say. I believe the ram's horn lead ye ta tha 'aggis, oh aye. That there be one sunburned scorpion found wanderin' onto a platter a' tha oasis what flows wif lemon an' butter. I suspicion the red lad figured 'e'd be safe from bein' eaten in the shadow o' tha shofar. Little did 'e know this be an cosmopolitan restaurant and no a kosher deli. Poor lad. . . pass the shell cracker, lad. This 'aggis is no goin' doon wifout a fight. . .

An the crucifixions. . .very intriguin' use o' posterization. No common wif depictions such as this, where the realism is more tha target. Boot ye got a message woven in, an' that's a fact.

Fine work, laddie. . . Next you'll be doin' a druid dressed as a corporate lawyer, checkin' 'is hendge ta see what time he needs ta be in tha courtroom. . .

Go man go!!!!!!!!!! Always excitin' ta watch yer surveillance o' tha land an yer interpretation. . .

hi mac just woke to the land of living ::D as I only seem to get short days time I come too and have

Quick shower Then get dressed. And have my cornflakes with a banana it's nearly. Time to go to bed

And as its Sunday. Got to watch F1. And footie and there's a strong possibility I go to sleep in the

Armchair and miss it. All. Pleased you went to the Crucifixion. I must have missed. You In the

Crowd as you could hardly move. And the cheer that went up when the main player come on the

Stage was deafening. Fickle lot. Arn't we. :eek::eek: :D:D:D SLAINTE

[justjean]

Nice setup Mr 80, think I'll pass on dinner though as I don't like lobster :)

[D Akey]

Mr Ploos, could you rustle up something more appetizing for Just Jean, please, and let's loose anything that plays music on the plate, like with those ruby red castanets. Perhaps something a little less flamenco and a little more flamingo. I wonder if flamingo tastes like chicken. But you see, flamingos are pink because they eat red crustaceans and the color filters through them and out onto their feathers. So I'm thinking Just Jean wouldn't mind eating them shelled creatures so long as they're at least one or two steps down the food chain.

And wake oop lad. . . yer missin tha good weather. . . so grab yer quiver o' pencils and head oot for a sketch up safari.

Nice work lad. I believe wif this fine portrait, she's got 'er eye on ye for bein' firends wif benefits. . . I predict ye'll be gettin' Puckish soon enuf from tha' twinkle in 'er eye.

Hi would like some Help from Tec; Bods as I'm getting what I call Strikes as you can see on the Pic; I was starting :eek: is it artrage

cap'n Mac said use the undo button which I tried it does clear them but on starting again bingo their back I tried moving all over the screen to see if

that would help no joy and sometimes when useing the undo button they don't want to clear the strikes but rather other stuff so sometimes

I have to paint over them I'm useing 4.0.4 on my Wacom 21ux i do have the same problem with my IPad but I thought it was me touching

the sides with my fingers thanks help would be welcome regards E+

[justjean]

Haven't a clue about your strikes, Mr 80+ . The gal on the corner does not seem to like the variety of guys passing :)

[eighty+]

Hi Jean not to worry as I see she got one lined up:D:D:D. No help with the strikes yeah I'm too

Old to know about all these new-fangled gadgets. It took me a long time at school to stop getting the

pen nibs sticking into the paper. Be left handed they should have taught us to write from right

To left that would have made it better as then you could see what you were writing :D::D SLAINTE Jean

[D Akey]

The worried look of the lassie in yellow puts me in mind of the expression on the faces of some of the women as the lads are marching off to war. Might be from a movie or from real life.

Interesting how we remember things. Not saying this is your memory. But often strong incidents exist in my brain as still shots that can be pulled at and more of the story unfolds. These images that float around in my head are often anchored by an emotion. They are like little thumbnail icons for a computer file that can be clicked on and opened.

Not saying this lass represents that to you as you painted it, but that's what I see when I look at her. I find it a strong and very crisp image. Faces can definitely tell stories.

[eighty+]

The gold medal is yours. Cap'n Mac a first time strike so don't get big headed and fall over. But it's

Ok to trot around the arena with your flag wrapped round your bonnze. To thunderous applause

From the artrager's. And to the tune I'll take the low road and yea take the high but I'll be in

Scotland before. Yea :p. ;). :D. :D. :D. :D. ......... SLAINTE

You keep paintin' them portraits -- yer a keen recollector an' observer and it shows in the mannerisms and expressions o' yer soobjects. . . oh aye, especially if yer findin' an emotional component in tha sitters. Go man go!!!

hi Cap'n Mac I know it Sunday the day of your rest BUT did you find the orignal and how does he do that regards to Damasco :D :D :D :D :D :D

SLAINTE

[D Akey]

hi Cap'n Mac I know it Sunday the day of your rest BUT did you find the orignal and how does he do that regards to Damasco :D :D :D :D :D :D SLAINTE

Well Mr Ploos, It all started with the Word. And then He created Light. (Trying to recall as it was so long ago. . .) So I think He worked light on the black background. Heavens and Firmament. . . Um. . . Stuff. . . Animals. . . and People. . . Lets see. . . Anyway I think He created Monday, then Tuesday, and Thur. . . NO, Wednesday. . . He created Wednesday THEN Thursday Friday and Saturday. And after all that it was only THEN He done Sunday. . . as a day o' sport.

Now somewhere in there He created Chile and Argentina and THEN Demasocl. . . Or was it Argentina, Demasocl and then Chile. Not sure exactly.

Hope this answers your question -- to wit: Set your dark and light pattern for your composition, get a little paint down, and then take a day for football and/or rugby (that was not specified).

Good luck with it, and I'm sure you'll get the knack of Sunday. It's a fairly easy day. . . or was that a day of ease. . . You so confuse me lad.

Edit: It just occurred to me you were wantin' me ta say soomthin' aboot yer lad in the odd garmentry. I think the face is brilliant and the gray in the flesh is masterful. I love your economy of marks all the while describin' a full volumed 'ead. Well doon on tha' lad. Can't say mooch aboot 'is outfit tho. . . 'e looks like he was goin' ta school wif Tony Curtis in Taras Bulba in medieval Poland. . . Boot I can no say for sure as they doona dress in this manner 'ere on tha beaches o' Malibu and Santa Monica. . . No even in the Marina where there are Cossacks ridin' in on their catamarans. . . Different costumery entirely. . .

[eighty+]

Blimey Cap'n Mac time I've got up an had me cornflakes done a bit painting watched football the the rugby onto the Prom's to watch all those

violins bow's going up down like being in a saw-mill :D and tonight was all about the hidden singers who sang for the stars and never got paid :(

Good. Morning to you. Good morning it's a fine day and I'm up early:D. :D. :D. SLAINTE

I think it would be interesting to collect these and many other colorful heads and characters into a collage painting which would become a most amazing real/ abstract painting or rather exhibition! You definitely found Your process from sketch to final image and it's a quite effective one.

[eighty+]

Hail O Caesar O Mighty On what's this I hear your not well what you need is a dose of Cleo she'll soon straighten you up :D:D:D

this next one was going to paint but my pen's cross hair is about 6" from the pen but only on artrage otherwise its ok did

try with the mouse but haven't got your skill with the mouse so I've bunged it in as is ok STATTE BBONNE Si SI:cool::cool::cool:

I love the limited use of color in this drawing. The color is enough as a hint. Adds a certain feeling of quick thought -- as if trying to grab a fleeting impression. . . which of course sketches often are. Nice one. I can tell from your work when you're feeling good. This has a bit of a feeling of a Daumier. . . He had a long career so his style changed, but at one period he was very focused on a sort of caricature, with looks stylized exaggeration, that some of your work reminds me of. The second pic puts me in mind of a ride on an early Ploos Boos. . .

These pics came from this page:

Right. My guess Mr Ploos regardin' that pen cursor problem. . . is that ye haven't yet learned to curse it good n' proper. . . Scare the bejeezus oot of it an' ye'll 'ave it runnin' tip top . . .

An' if cursin' at it don't 'elp, ye need ta re-calibrate it coos it soonds like it got jostled. It's choost a dumb machine until ye tell it ta bugger off and straighten oop an' fly right. I don't know what calibrating one does on your PC, but there's a way to set the placement of the cursor on the screen relative to where the stylus tip touches onto your tablet.

You more than likely had to do that when you first hooked the tablet in to your computer. It's similar to when you instal a new mouse you can calibrate that for speed of the button clicks and so on.

I am not versed in how to do it and fumble with my own rig until I get it sussed.

Maybe someone who knows how to do your setup can help. I don't think it's an ArtRage issue, but who knows. Maybe it is.

Good luck with it, lad.

Hail Mon Kaptain thanks for making time to call back I've managed to show u a pic; from the pen tip to the arrow is about 6" ok but I'm in the hands of one of our Gods Matt

Galapides who live to a 120 years and none of those Humans who eat anything :eek: or a yanky eagle who can fly away at the 1st sign of humans but I don't

Hi Steve. Nah. Not so much luck. Matt said to get new drivers. But to make sure to take the

Old ones out 1st. To me thats like trying to juggle with 6 fresh eggs :eek::D any way. Went to Wacom and it said. The down load manager will sort it all Ok so pressed. the download button And nothing
Happened. So kept trying each time it said do you want to save kept saying yes still no sign apart from
Norton Saying it is safe :D So in the end packed in so thought I'd look in downloads yep there there were. 5. New ones. No I'm a delema will if I click one of them will it safely file the old so if the new ones
Are no good the old ones are still around. Somewhere. If I can ever find them what's your thought's.
On. This. Hot. Potatoe. Steve. :(:(:):):confused::D:D:D. SLAINTE

[stevemawmv]

Which Wacom pen is it or name? Sometimes you have to delete your pen preferences and re-calibrate with a new update installation?
Also what operating system you using?
Steve

[eighty+]

Hi Steve. Wacom 21ux. Got a grippe ped ..art pen ... Air brush pen but only use the grippe pen

Artrage 4.0.4. 7 home Premium. A fuji. Laptop. A book series. Ok. Does that make sense

:D:D:D:D. SLAINTE

[stevemawmv]

You may have to google!
'User manual WACOM CINTIQ 21UX'
There's a number of pdf manuals downloadable with that search, also at Wacom site.
Or Try :Wacom calibration video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tRR6U-5hq6w

Friend once screwed up with the left or right hand preferences,

Go over the Manual first.
Also make sure you updated with the correct one!
I show this one 'Driver 6.3.6-3 Windows 8, Windows 7 or Vista 3 Sep 2013'
found in Legacy download section.

Hi Madam Katie of the Maora yes the Sun is up so I might go out hope you can see it up in ULL :eek::cool: :D:D:D:D:D:D SLAINTE

[D Akey]

Everybody loves a good blood sport! Though I don't know which particular chop we're talking about. There is such a dizzying array of corpses along the route. . .

Yeah, there was a successful TV show over here a couple decades ago about a bar in Boston or somewhere like that called "Cheers -- (the place) where everybody knows your name. . ."

So Cheers, mate! Boot, I'm not sure that's soomthin' a couple moon rivers could even patch oop. 'Course, it gives new meanin' ta tha term 'bottomless drinks', oh aye. . .

So ye got me stoomped. . . er. . . poor choice o' words. . . I got no clue who it may be what's lost their noggin'. . . There's so mooch of it aboot these days, neh?

As ye know, they are going into default over here -- the whole bloody country -- and isn't it interesting that they came to a deadlock just so as to be able to take lots of people off the payroll. Can you imagine the money they're saving, all the while complaining it's political about a law? Sheeeeeet. Yeah right.

Next, they had the police and fireman fund calling around for handouts -- as part of the plan to foist the costs further on the public, now that the coffers are securely in some politician's chronies' offshore bank account.

Don't get me started. . . boot I digress. . .

[eighty+]

Hi. Cap'n Mac. Yes I should be keel-hauled. As I've just woke up. 14.21pm. Sorry but must have

Well, glad ye got it sussed lad. Moon Rivers for you and a Shirley Temple for your techie.

Glad to see you back oop an' runnin' wif the commuters. . . We're gonna have to construct you a duck blind on yer boos so ye can observe the wildlife wifoot spooken 'em. As Elmer Fudd would say: "Sssshhhhh. . . be vewy vewy quiet. . . "
