I wanted to finish Grape by today, but it appears that I have failed miserably. Curse you, linear finite time. Grape is a library I am writing to power PolyPaint. I'm working on the GUI system at the moment, trying to get the skin drawing to work nicely with clipping. Slowly getting there. The colours were for debugging. Hopefully I'll finish this in time for its second birthday. I promised to release the source right after I fix some bugs. One and a half years later, I'm still not done. I'm almost as bad as the DNF team. Debugging is, like, really time consuming apparently. So, why was today so important? No, it had nothing to do with bunny rabbits, eggs, or Jesus. It's my 21^st birthday. Send me all your birthday pi and/or caek.

Out of curiosity, do you still have that archive up with some of the saved drawings? All of Anna's images are offline, so I was just curious if they were still up somewhere.

And it's alright, I'm still two years late on a video project (sorry jeff!). At the least, I'm never late for ones that I get paid for...

Whenever it does come, I'll be ready to start drawing like mad.

Sadly, the answer to that question is no. There was a lot of nice pictures lost in the sands of time. Or was that hard disk failure? One of those. There was two I really miss that I can't find anywhere, one with nice wavy grass with a tree with pink flowers and Sonic and Tails flying off in the background, and one of a strange looking city in a crater with waterfalls.

Well then happy birthday [smile]

I saved a bunch of my favourites when it died down, I guess I had a feeling something would happen to them. Avatar God's "dragon" one is currently set as my wallpaper, at least I think he's the one that drew it(there are no names on it).

Anyway does this mean we can expect some future PolyPaint goodness?

Edit: Found the "city in crater" one.

I'm aiming for the aniversary of my first post about it, hopefully sooner. But with my track record. . .

Anyway, thanks for the picture(s).

You rock! That's awesome [grin].

I had them all on my drive too, at one point, but again with the hard disk failure... Speaking of which, I need to get some of mine up on my new website before that happens again. Anyways, these are the ones that I worked on and still have left. Polypaint is/was so wonderful... No matter when it comes out, it will be much appreciated!
