Same here. But this site has more emphasis on social than other sites I've been on. A lot of them you could do fine in the game without ever clicking the forum tab. Not so much here, but I think I like it that way. I like to imagine the Material Trades thread as a bustling, chaotic marketplace. Yeah, I'm weird. x3
Re: gradient shading convo from days ago: Tried to do SOME gradient shading in flash. I'm not sure what to think... Flash was being kinda weird. ^^;; Here's the pic:
>link<. For some reason, trying to do a linear gradient made the whole glob of smoke-color join as one big gradient, even though it's separated by lines on the same layer. But I switched it to radial and then they all split up. I need to fiddle with them more probably, and maybe add some other non-gradient shading to the smoke. And, y'now, finish shading the characters. XD /ramble
