Well, it happened. Imagine my surprise today logging in.
A big thank you to
for both the feature and for basically keeping an eye on this work since I posted the preview details for it.
And a big thank you to all you people, old and new visitors, for your support and appreciation. This is a great incentive to do better and better and to complete a few WIPs that have been waiting for ages . I have a few new ideas and concepts floating in my mind already
.
Back to the painting in question: as I wrote in my previous jornal here
elianthos80.deviantart.com/jou… I had painted it for an art exhibit opening last weekend in Novara, Italy.
While we are at DDs, here there are some infos on how a DD works and what it means, and how to suggest one (or many). elianthos80.deviantart.com/jou…
And if you haven't already do check out
's lovely DD
as well as the rest of the related webcomic. She's both a great storyteller, a versatile artist and an amazing person... all of this and much more really shines through her pages and characters. Do try it .
Nice art-filled days ahead everyone!

Hi!
With at 
we're proposing two kinds of activities.
1) 50 Shades of Flavour, the Pirate Balthasar Way 
It's a cuisine&creativity contest. Basically pick & submit a recipe you feel mirrors/relates to a certain character from the comic. You can submit just the recipe explanation, cook the dish and share the pic, or both. Or also design a pirate menu layout... it's up to you
.
Deadline is October 18th, 2012. For full info and prize go here the-pirate-balthasar.deviantar…
Good luck!
2) A Pirate Balthasar Firefox browser skin contest
Firefox, in case you're not familiar with it, is a free browser software, and one of the most popular and used browsers worlwide. Firefox works both in Windows, MAC and Linux OS, it's highly customizable and a all-around cool tool to have.
A lot of plugins and custom options for Firefox are made by the users themselves and put up on the Mozilla mother site for other Firefox users to dl and cutomize their browser with. It's a good way to both hone your skills, get recognized and make other people happy XD.
To make a skin (aka 'Persona') for Firefox you only need a standard graphics program to work on images, like Photoshop, GimP, Paint tool SAI or whatever software you have available, and use a picture... in our case it could be either an official Pirate Balthasar illustration from the comic, or a fanart. In case you didn't make the fanart, just ask the author permission to use the pic ;D. In any case, credit the author. It's both netiquette and what professionals do.
All you need to know on Firefox skins (from step by step tutorials to examples and catalogue of finished skins) is here :www.getpersonas.com/en-US/…;
and here: www.getpersonas.com/en-US/demo…
There's not really a deadline planned for this skin contest... also because even if the the main TPB story is over there are the sequels and spinoffs ongoing now, hence your picks of source images and inspiration for browser skin are endless XD. Just go wild and submit your works to the and/or link your Persona from the Mozilla site catalogue when you're done .
