This is the error message I am getting:
https://www.tommoody.us/images/aug15/chibi_send_error.PNG

so here's the story:

Java has updated its crossdomain security policy requiring a higher level of control on the server itself. I ran into this issue myself a couple months back so i'm trying to recall what the details were.

Basically right now java will try to establish connection to the IP of the server but without explicit approval in the server's crossdomain.xml file it won't allow it to create a connection. While we might have some crossdomain control at the domain name, we dont (as far as i know through our hosting service) have it at the IP level.

The fix, where server control isn't possible, is to downgrade java to before it instituted this policy. I want to say that version is 7.25- but i'm running on months old fleeting memories.

Unfortunately not ideal, but i hope it makes sense.

Thanks for the info, Robert. Am happy to report that I just switched to LinuxMint and their IcedTea-Web plugin handles Chibi with no dysfunctions that I can see. Am looking forward to some CCDS fun outside the increasingly unbearable Windows environment!

Love this.
Also, I bet we're neighbors.

Thanks, and possibly!

I really dislike these towers, we have them here in mall parking lots. Wish I could just drive them off a cliff. Sorry for taking it out on your picture.

Some drawings are motivated by love and some by other emotions -- that's all I am at liberty to say.

I always love the way you shade things. Here I like the skull-like seams on a few of the 'ventricles'. Thanks for this

Is this the end of Spider-Man?

is this edible?

Before you asked that I would have said this was the least edible thing on the Web. Now I'm not sure.

that pastel pink makes it pretty peaceful (personally).

nice brushing techniques! :-)

Thanks - I like these Chibi brushes (pen and watercolor).

Added bricks 4-14-13.

...revising an older drawing

so good, you make awesome blobs.

Thanks, your use of the stripe pattern got me thinking about ways to punch up this drawing.

:)

Ahhhhh this is so good!!

Thanks - "gunnera" in Google Images gives you an explosion of green but only one stealthy cat.

Something about this drawing makes the plant look... predatory?

new favorite

thanks - as far as I know it's not ingesting whole Namibians.

I bet you could make a good gunnera drawing

Will attempt one - Wikipedia has a good choice of models posing with gunnera leaves.

Nice timing, I was hanging out with him last night.

Ha ha well I hope he knows his webcam theatre has made him a dump meme (I'm sure he does).

!!!!

hahahaha awesome

Pixar just emailed: they're interested.

This was supposed to say "modification of a drawing by Michael Manning" but I resized it to 500 x 500 and lost everything, including the attribution.

The above comments apply to an earlier version of this drawing.

THIS IS SO HUMANIST

Some might say it tastes like a desire to locate man’s place in a world that he perceives primarily with the aid of machines. Or the desire for the absent father. Or the obliteration of the "inner Wonkee." Perhaps all three.

"the bravest are surely those who have the wonkee-ist vision of what is before them ..."

"This is....ATHENSSSSS!" cried the young artists.

nah we'd be all like "THIS IS SPARTA"

That was supposed to be a This Is Sparta joke.

Was thinking about a "It's Only Humanist"-style essay that considers "300" as the dark side of Greek New Media, "expressing young filmmakers' yearning for manly virtue and ancient rituals of violence in the disconnected, affectless time of the Internet. In contrast to the aestheticized holistic beauty favored by the Athenians, The Spartans' CGI abs and pecs conjure a warrior cult of the body: free-floating signifiers of sweaty buffness but also a grotesque cyborg 'skinning' of the human form."

sik bro

thx mon

extremely stable.

There are many applications to fuzzyballs, one of which could create a slicker substance than teflon. A fully fluorinated buckyball would create the slickest molecular lubricant known to man, C60F60.

This drawing has been sitting in the back of my mind ever since you posted it. It is so bizarre and stunning. The colors remind me of an old botanical illustration.

Thanks, Sara. The feedback is much appreciated. Some of my favorite science fiction stories deal with far-future worlds where plants have mutated into quasi-sentient life, e.g, Hothouse by Brian Aldiss. I'm glad if any of that weirdness is getting across.

love this. Especially that blue and its smudges.

Thanks - I can't really say why but I like Chibi Paint smears more than Photoshop smears.

To tell the truth I'd never actually used photoshops smear tool at all. These applets were the first time I'd tried them out. Which is probably why I use them so much now. In any case I really envy your color choices.

Thanks, re: the color. Chibi's smears handle more like paint than Adobe's -- Photoshop just sort of averages the difference between smeared and unsmeared and then makes you really work to drag the "average" around the screen. The end result looks exactly like what you did - drag some average around the screen. (Maybe it's just the versions of Photoshop I use that come bundled with a scanner or printer, but I doubt it.)

I hadn't seen this one before. Warped wires piercing flimsy goop of some sort... Nice. The difference in "medium" really makes it.

the texture is great

Thanks - halfway through it started turning into 1950s medical illustration and I just went with it.

this is really great, like it a lot.

Thanks, Robert!

i like to think that everybody & everything is spam at some point at some time at some space at some dot. spam is nice.
