craig, you must be proud, everyone is asking for your help on their wip's and mentioning you on everything! everyone wants a mullins paint over. kinda like in my painting class, my teacher steve comes around the room and corrects people's paintings, and we're in such awe we can't continue with the painting, we just save it. and start on a new one. ( i can see how this is a bad thing, but it's still pretty damn cool) anywho, i just want to say thanks for showing us beginners how to approach this type of art. (for free too!) i know it's probably annoying for you to see all those posts with people dropping your name but dude you rock. i'm sure most of the members agree with what i said, there's like 2 or 3 drooling one-eyed wierdos who hate you.

I completely agree!

Craig is the People's Magazine most underrated man (I made that up) He's funny, GOOD LOOKING, makes tons of cash! What kind of woman don't want him. Hell, i'm a guy, i'm not gay and i still want him.

EDIT: In addion, he draws very well too. How could i miss that part. OOOPS!

Ewww Mr. Lonely, that was very uncalled for!

*waves at Craig* *giggle*

Is that a brush in your pocket, or you just happy to see me? :P

I feel I'm one of the many people that should thank Craig for his help and advice with my art.
It's very inspiring to know that someone who's so talented and at such a high level in his field, is still a cool person and takes the time out of his busy schedule to help other artist. A lot of people at that level of the game act as if they're too good to even talk to non professional artist, let alone give advice and suggestions to them.

Cheers to Craig for being a stand up cat.

One of many artists who's life you've made a positive impact on,
Malachi

Craig's one hip cat.
There are lots of incredible artists out there, but there are very few with a heart of gold.

The kind of contribution he has made to the digital art community cannot be easily summed up. He has inspired, encouraged, taught, and set a perfect example of what a great artist should be like--not just talented, but humble and generous.

Goddammit. I wanna hug the guy.

hahaha, no, i wasn't trying to make a craig is God type thread, that would be foolish. i just wanted to thank him (and make sure those 'help me spooge' threads don't annoy him too much.)

roundeye · Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2001 9:50 pm

yeah, i want in on the publicly thanking spooge thing. one in a million he is.

burn0ut · Posted: Wed Nov 28, 2001 12:17 am

agreed
we need to make him a tribute thing

S4Sb · Posted: Wed Nov 28, 2001 12:41 am

Craig won't dare to come back with the praise and expectations this high. We should make him a tribute thing

and go back to work.

Malachi Maloney · Posted: Wed Nov 28, 2001 12:57 am

So what are we making/doing for him as a tribute?

S4Sb · Posted: Wed Nov 28, 2001 1:28 am

If I were him, I would be glad if my pupils gave me a picture I could hang on my wall. Maybe we should dedicate "Sijun Tile Game 3" to him.

I'll add my thanks, I've learned a lot about value and the mixing of colors from craig's posts, not to mention the amount of enjoyment I've derived from viewing his works. I appreciate the time he takes to help people of such varied skill levels, and if you take the time to look at even some of his older posts, the insights which he shares are a source of inspiration for intermediate artists like myself.

Thanks Spooge Demon, Thanks Meat Sack!

Tribute?.

Maybe get him to send photo of eg himself/fam in nice backyard setting.
People paint/draw their pieces and get em posted up.
Well....If it were me having all these artists doing their own version of a photo for me.....I'd(have 100 kick ass posters) be amazingly overjoyed. As would anyone I bet.

But I think Craig isn't very fond of revealing his picture......maybe he feels it takes from the mystery....?

Gandalf- · Posted: Wed Nov 28, 2001 2:48 pm

He is scared that he'll see one of us Sijun-monkeys in real life, and we'll pester him to death with endless requests for him to teach us more. These forums have like 4839847267427243646 members now, if I were him, I'd be scared too.

i suggest a thank you note should send by mail, its more meaningful that way.
