Wow Springie that pic is just so amazing!
Okay I can't figure out how to put up pics in a thread, help?
Ahhhhhh...it isn't showing up, SD!! Do you have a photobucket? I usually just load it into my photobucket and copy and paste the IMG link...
Dang you saw that before I edited it out Springie, LOL
I'd be happy to post it for you if you can't get it to work...
also, you can load it directly from your computer by using the "edit attachments" button...
Okay why doesn't preview work for me? It keeps posting my screw ups. It's been a long time since I've been bested by computer language 
Here ya go, SD...hope you don't mind me getting it from the clubhouse...this is one hot piccie!!!! I love this sensual pose!!!

Thank you thank you Springie! The other one I wanted to put up was the one of Jason and Princess, I think you know the one I mean, if you could post that I'd be forever grateful, or just tell me what codes I'm supposed to use to link it up.

Okay, I have to ask... I can tell it's Katse, but is it also the female Katse?
Regardless... this is one HOT picture!
Actually this is a pic based on an IF I wrote sometime ago with SJ and Yuki. It's in Clubhouse under "Spring is in the Air", and basically Zoltar coerced Princess into falling in love with him.
But thanks for the compliments!

Oh... it's THAT fic! I remember that one. It's unfinsihed isn't it? Last I recall, poor Mark was waiting for execution on Spectra, but there was a plan...
Yeah, poor Mark has been stuck in that dungeon for a loooooong time.

Love the pose: I can imagine the Swan sitting beside the Eagle on the grass beside "their" lake.

Stardust, I love your work as well. I have been admiring the Joe/Jun one over at the Clubhouse.
Love that Condor passion ......
That one is actually based on another fic by MonaLisa, entitled Games, it's quite the novella if you have time to read it, but it's worth it.
Wow, SD, those pics are amazing! Hot, hot, hot!!!

Springie, hope you dont mind but I used your pic as inspiration for my entry

What is when you've been married to a man for a long time and he forgets that a bit of romance from his direction does wonders...i gave him the hints and I feel like the Swan looking at clueless Eagle...Thwack DH...
I told him directly in the end..."this year its your turn...you have forgotten to be romantic since you turned 20 boyand we got married, you sold me a false bill of goods...its been your Swan darling, and if you want Hank panky...then get your act together...grrrr."
Now he's told me it would be good if I did a really nice dinner etc...(Where in that is HIM being romantic!Arrrgghhhh)
He's in for a shock!!! Ebony is tempted to by him a TV dinner...and then go out to a movie on her own!

Oh, Ebony, I can tell that the Ivory Eagle loves you very much. Give him a chance. Make him a wonderful dinner and set it up by candlelight, and see what he does... you may be pleasantly surprised!
Maybe he is playing dense and just wants to surprise you?
Its obvious from the pics I have seen of you too that you absolutely adore one another.

NO FB...i guess I would like him to be more Spontaneous and I know he loves me, but a girl needs to be romanced a bit sometimes...not "Honey go buy yourself something..."
If he says that I don't do it now, I tell him that is not giving a gift, I don't care if he picked a rose out of the garden for me and presented in a sweet way...I've told him he doesn't have to spend lots of money to impress me! Sigh...
I guess I expect a man who not very creative to be creative!
The thing is he used be very thoughtful...but then he just stopped totally about 15 years ago.
Career and earning money took over...I do love him lots though...he has more good points than not so good...

FWIW, my Eagle is pretty bad at cards and gifts and being romantic. Sigh... he blew all of his romance on the proposal. Since then, nothing! But I knew what I was getting into. He's great in so many other (ultimately more important) ways.

That is what I mean TJ.
I will need to hook him and keep him on the hook.
Not let him get comfortable by letting him off.

I romance is not just about a present, its about being spontaneous and showing appreciation...I found men think they buy her flowers or sexy lingerie and she'll be happy... Romance to me is saying he'll look after the kids and sending her out with a friend to movie or shopping... Helping clean up after dinner rather than just leaving the table and going off doing his own thing. Cooking up a nice meal so we can sit down and spend quality time together...just a little bit of effort... But then DH will put the baby to bed at night...and watching him cuddle his daughter as he gently put her down to sleep warms my heart...so that is a good thing, it out weights bought gifts... And this morning he expressed the desire for us to spend more time together this week so he comes round to my way of thinking occasionally...LOL I just a surprise on the odd occasion...but that is just me...I'm the hopeless romantic!

I am really lucky we have been married almost two years and my wonderful husband still does little things. He knows I hate presents and stuff like that but he will make me a special dinner sit and cuddle me for hours watching shows he really doesn't like. I know our marriage is young so I hope he doesn't go the way of losing that.
Ebony it is nice that he seems to have something planned for the weekend, hope its something really nice for you!

DH has been hinting that he wants to get me something. He's the romantic. I apprieciate whatever he gets me. It's the thought. I'd be quite happy with a good meal. Hmmm I haven't had chinese in a while....
Or some thing like this
I howled when I first saw this...
lol kimi my DH and I laughed at that
Dang, it tells me the video is not available in my country 
I don't see why it would be, but then again I don't care for most censorship. Where are you located Stardust?

It's the video of Justin Timberlake & buddy-what's-his-name...(it's escaping me for the moment)...from Saturday Night Live...singing "Dick In A Box".
Here's the lyrics and the audio part anyway...
The video's been removed from YouTube due to copyright (grr...), but I remember when that skit was first broadcast. Too freaking funny!!!
Being a metal girl..I was never into the boy band thing, but I love J.T.! I think he's extremely talented, has a great sense of humour and a down-to-earth personality. He seems like a very genuine person.
That skit was so popular that there are some clips available of him playing it (while playing piano!) in concert.

Stardust and Springie!
Magnificent artwork! Both pics are truly beautiful! I've been out of practice for a while, but am currently working on my sketches. Unfortunately it's easier for me to draw the female form at this point and only headshots!
You guys are an inspiration!

I must apologize to everyone. Had a phone call to make that lasted longer than I expected then I crashed on my couch. TJ knows that I work the graveyard shift. There are times I come home after work and remain awake all day just to get a decent nights sleep. Last night was one of those times!
Thanks so much for the encouragement everyone! I use to draw years ago but the demands of work and family took over. I only recently began sketching again after being inspired by Springie (looking at your work did that to me) and the work of others I've seen on other sites. I don't know if I'm bold enough yet to let anyone see them. I usually sketch and toss them away. And I'm not certain if I have the means to post them-I'm not computer savvy at all!

I have to ask...What software are you using to showcase your work online?
Any response would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance! I'm thinking of letting you guys take a peek, but you've been warned-It's not that great! Just female headshots-mostly how I see Princess.
Well if I inspired someone that's award enough for me. BTW Springie I saw bunches (and I mean bunches) of your stuff on Deviantart. I must say you keep getting better and better, especially when I compare it to your older stuff.
So c'mon Summer, share with us! You could be a Springie in the making, lol.
Hi Kimiko!
I've been doing it for well over 15 years combined. It helps that I'm a 12 hour shift worker now-so I only work 3 nights a week; but I used to work straight 11-7, 5 nights a week and was slowly digging a hole for myself. I had to shuffle some things around and make sacrifices but in the end it worked out well!

People have always been a huge challenge for me to draw, and this has helped me alot. I'll still keep working at it!
Thanks for the response Springie!
I'm going to see what I can do from home first. My husband has a laptop, my daughter has a laptop, I'm using the home computer in the family room and we have two printers and one scanner in the house!
I'm hoping that I can do something with the equipment I have at home. I don't know how dated some of the stuff is. My husband has his den set up like "The Bat-Cave" as we so affectionately call it. But I dare not touch it for fear of finding out who he really is and what he's hiding down there.
