SciFi & Fantasy Artwork by Fredrik K T Andersson

True, true! It doesn’t have to be a golden frame, specifically. I (among others) just want an easy-to-spot indicator of New Posts on a gallery, so we don’t have to guess. Maybe it can be gallery specific? Or set in a member’s user preferences, perhaps?

At any rate, if we can get a few people to reply to that thread, we Might be able to get some attention for it.

That, and a few artists making pics taking gentle (or even blatant) pokes at the missing borders could also spread the word.

After all, it Used to be here. Why did it leave, if the code for other Faves is there? Code variants are not all That difficult to implement. Or so my code-monkey friends tell me.

Fredrik K T Andersson replies: "Good one. Post this on the forum thread. I added a little something there again. I’d like to try and keep this discussion at the forum as much as possible. However, I don’t mind if you drop a friendly reminder and the link to the thread once in a while. Something like this:

Hey Fredrik,
I just wanted to say I appreciate how much you support Elfwood with your participation. As I browse around to all the different galleries I love that I see your comments there. You are a super contributor in my opinion. I know that you are a great artist too. I have browsed your gallery and you are true artist with a definite style. Personally I don’t cater to the adult subjects. (Not that I don’t love the female anatomy.) Its a bit more sacred to me. I wish there was some way to separate the adult into the non-adult artwork, but then again they may be pushing against your style. Regardless, thanks so much again for your participation.

Fredrik K T Andersson replies: "Thank you, and likewise! Every member supports Elfwood in their own way and every contribution counts, be it artwork or comments.

Yes, I’m quite liberal about nudity in general, although more by principle than style. I respect other peoples views about it as do Elfwood to a level which I am very comfortable with and grateful for.

Remember, Elfwood have moderators viewing every submitted image to insure that any form of nudity is kept within the rules and policy of the site before such images gets uploaded. I really don’t know of any other similar online gallery that does that. It’s actually one of the things I like about Elfwood compared to other online galleries.

I also use the gallery tools and functions to add the right Parental Level on each image that I submit so they can be filtered and blocked if need be. Nudity or violence got the highest setting on that scale so it’s really a no-brainer. I’ve received a few complaints about images being blocked so I know the filter works. "

Not problem with the "drop a link occasionally"!
I’ll watch for it to drop off the visible page from time to time, and re-drop it then, so it doesn’t look too much like SPAM (or any other processed meat product)

Here;s hoping it gets some momentum, and is received positively!

Fredrik K T Andersson replies: "Sounds good. And if you miss out on the occasional link drop I’ll do it myself. The topic is up so it’s a good start. Got a sketch done on it, but it involves borders. Do have an idea on new art tags, I think..."

Okay, I shall steal ALL of your current Real Life Intrusions and give you NEW RLI’s! Here is your nagging wife, dog that needs to be house trained and three kids who hate you. Enjoy!

Fredrik K T Andersson replies: "You forgot that job you have that you don’t want and the job you want but you can’t have because some idiot you really hate and who hates you already got that job and it’s your boss. And you are also married to each other.

Imaginative, but no thanks."

GALLERY UPDATED!
Five new images!

- The Bard - Hell No!
- The Bard - Stonegazer vs Boobgazer
- The Bard - Busted Faking it
- The Melf
- The Lost Golden Border

Enjoy!

Your art inspired an image in my head of titans having a snowball fight, you mind if I use some of your work as direct reference? I want to get that same kinda look you have for this scene.

Fredrik K T Andersson replies: "I like the idea! A snowball fight on an epic scale. Go ahead! "

Yay, More Bard! Woot!
Hey Freddy? Have you ever thought of putting together a collection of Bard works? Maybe even Before and After stuff? Might be a decent money maker! He’s got a lot of fans out here!

Nice touch on the Golden Border one as well! Here’s hoping the word gets out, and we see some progress.

Great work as always!

Fredrik K T Andersson replies: "I’ve given it some thought but I kind of got another old project in line already starring a certain demon and scholar.

Got an idea for an alternative image to the Golden Border one but I will get bogged down with other work this month. Glad you liked it and hopefully it will generate some extra attention and interest.
"

I do have to wonder about the Busted Faking it picture, vaguely wonder here. If the wizard thinks a fake star is the most immoral thing ever, What exactly are his standards? I mean unless he his blind, he has seen some of the Bard’s better kids hatched.

Fredrik K T Andersson replies: "The wizard is indeed used to the Bard’s escapades (or as used as he can ever get). I simply used this fact to emphasize how extremely immoral it is to try and con the Moderators of Elfwood! Such behavior is absolutely outrageous! I mean, REALLY?! "

ummm...dyu mind if i do some fan art of that certain scholar and demon you draw? please dont judge me, i know im young but they’re are no other non-straight girls in my year at school and i kinda need a way out of it but dyu mind? i do love your work and i love baalah...

Fredrik K T Andersson replies: "I don’t mind, as long as the source and/or artist of the original work is properly mentioned. Asking the original artist for permission is nice, thank you, but rarely possible when it comes to fan art. I see that as an extra treat.

You create your artwork at your own discretion according to the reasons, rules and limits you see fit. Creative freedom would be quite impossible to maintain otherwise. I just hope you have fun with any inspiration you can find. Not my place to judge you or stop you there.

However, the final judgment of the mighty Moderators of Elfwood is way out of our puny mortal hands. If necessary sacrifices are to be made, I’ve heard they like peanuts. "

thanks and I GOT A MOD’s PICK
