Hi everyone!

Thanks so much@ And Mahon, thank you so much for doing such a great job on the article. Sorry I've been quiet.

I'm working on getting the business off the ground. I've been working with the local Small Business Administration and they've been helping me with my business plan and the financials. Plus, I've gone back to school to finish my Bachelors in IT: Network Administration but I'm specializing in digital investigations, so that's really interesting but time consuming. Especially to start because I have to get the financial aid nailed down. The worst of it is, the schools I attended are not only in another state but they closed several years ago. Trying to track down transcripts has been close to impossible.

But at least I got an A on the first two assignments. lol! So now that I'm getting a schedule nailed down for that, I hope to be able to work on more painting again.

Something you might find interesting, I've started a Thundertusk and the first layer of color I did with pigments.

congrats, Kath - both on the exams and on the article. actually I only adjusted it for the site, but the real job was yours. you did all the writing and added photos, so it's your article. thanks!

and I think people appreciated your article already, giving it over 3300 views and sharing it so actively on Facebook.

if anybody feels like sharing their articles on our site - they're encouraged to do so and every article is appreciated

sigh, I only had 300 views on mine heheh.
You also published links to Kath's article on Cmon site Mahon, didn't you?

[mahon]

yep, and it resulted in such traffic. it always helps if an article gets some additional publicity. yours was on CMON, too.

[kathrynloch]

Very cool! I'm glad to see that it's getting hits!

Since I did my thundertusk in pigments, I want to link to it in the Ebay auction and see if that will help. The more hits we can garner, the better it is for everyone.

I also got a message on FB that someone read the article here and is going to try the pigments, so it's working and I think that's great!

[mahon]

fantastic news. congrats again!

Sweet! thanks for that bill

I played around with the new creaming-yellow and it made Sunburst yellow kind of... greenish yellow - but it might have been some black ink left on the model, not sure. But either way, yellow does apply pretty 'thickly' and get good coverage only after 1-2 coats. You just have to be more careful then me when mixing paint; because I'm pretty sure there is a reason the colour turned out so dark.
