I know that I can make fan art with various stuff but where can I post the fan art?
hot, humid, sitcky air at 10 P.M. at night. Yuck. I would not want to go to the southeast part of U.S.A. now. lol
That's why we have air conditioning. Without air conditioning, Florida would still be a swamp with nothing but gators, snakes, mosquitos, bears, vultures, and assorted crawling, swimming, and flying dinosaur descendants. With air conditioning, we have Disney, Universal Studios, probably a hundred or more colleges and universities, Wawa gas stations, and Ihop restaurants.
Oh, we still have gators, snakes, mosquitos, bears, vultures, and assorted dinosaur descendants. Just don't give them a house key and don't tell them the alarm codes. And for crying out loud, park your damned car INSIDE your garage. You only need to learn that lesson once by experience, but I wonder why ANYBODY needs to learn it at all.
I have just the answer for you.
I agree that air-conditioning has populated Florida, but it is possible to survive in Florida without it. The Indians did it for thousands of years. And even as late as the 1950s pioneering yankees moved to Florida and built houses sensibly. Small, with lots of trees around them, with windows that opened and screens that kept the bugs out and the layout designed for airflow, elevated from the ground. I had three pairs of Great Aunts & Uncles who moved to Florida in the 1920s (they were in their 30s at the time) and never had air-conditioning. They came from my hometown, here in western NY State, However, if you went to Florida and didn't adapt, it would grind you into the dust. There's a town called Fellsmere west of Vero Beach (lower central east coast) founded by a business tychoon who owned the Fells Naptha soap company, in the early 1900s. It almost went kaput after years of fighting Florida. Mosquitos bit the insides of the noses of the cattle and horses till they died of suffocation being just one of the problems the residents of this company town weren't prepared for.
The town still exists but the first few years weren't pretty.
Having lived in Florida for a few decades myself I found it much easier to run around barefooted & half-naked than to try to live like a northerner. Even with air-conditioning. But even in the '60s & early 70s I would visit my Great aunt & uncle that still lived in Melbourne (where my college was) and their little cottage near the river, raised two feet from the ground, under the canopy of Live Oaks and palms with the windows open was quite survivable. Even in the summer. The problem is, those locations are rare and are now all owned by rich people who have torn them down, replaced the trees with grass, built a McMansion covering the neighboring three lots, filled them with air-conditioning, and leave them idle in the summer when the family goes back to their northern house. (*Sigh*), Air-conditioning has ruined Florida.
Early Florida pioneers included English composer Frederick Delius who wrote the "Florida Suite" after his stint managing his Father's orange plantation in Florida during the 1880s. Sent there from England by his father, he only stayed there one year (must have been pretty hard), but it made an impression because this is how he describes daybreak in the Florida wilds of the 1880s.

I actually feel sorry for people who have lived in Florida and never experienced it in the wild. Yes, you have to watch out for spiderwebs as big as boat sails, spiders that fight back, cockroaches bigger than you want to deal with, and reptiles that will kill you either with poison or by eating you whole, but it still has its charms.
Sometimes we can render just for ourselves. I like rendering tentacoos scenes. Would never share them lol

You said the same thing I did when they told me about this... I said “Cool... wait... how big are these horseshoe crabs that we are going to be playing tag with them?”...
Unfortunately, the horseshoe crabs were fairly small... I grew up seeing the ones around Jamaica Bay in Queens (NYC)... the females are huge, sometimes getting as big as a toilet seat... and that’s just the head part of the shell, with the carapace and the tail spike, they were even larger.
These ones are tiny by comparison... most were about the size of a dinner plate... and also these ones were covered in barnacles, limpets and mussel clusters... most of them looked more like rocks than horseshoe crabs.
I guess that’s because of the area they live in... it seems less prevalent elsewhere.
This was the best picture I got of any of them... because of the wind the waves were very close in frequency, so it made it hard to take pictures without disturbing them...
... yes, that is crab lovin’ going on there...
Thats why they come close to shore at this time of year.
These kind of tentacles?... I made him in Sculptura on the iPad as a dumb joke in that thread about the logo having changed again...
I painted him up like the DAZ logo (Victoria Tentacle Head) and faked a new DAZ banner... a very lame joke and a waste of an hour and a half.
Florida does still have its charms, but living under the trees with disease-carrying mosquitos would not be one of them. I lived through the big fires we had 20 years ago. The fires ignited underwater muck in the swamps and even jumped I-95, which is a very broad and wide roadway, if you include the grass shoulders and center median.
And then there's the lightning, yikes!
all it needs is a mustash
I prefer Daz Studio to Blender as it seems easier for me to use. Wonder if I can find a spot here to take out my computer to play with DS but the issue is that I do not have much high speed data left.
My "experience" about "the wild" of Florida is tempered by my lateness to the State. Yes, I appreciated the air-conditioning in the college classrooms (although they were often non-functioning), and in relatively modern automobiles (my parent's 1965 Buick Sportwagon did NOT have air-conditioning when they drove me down to Melbourne for my freshman year in September 1966). Also, my "experience" with the wilds of Florida, did, I admit, include some interesting experiences wandering around in huge cow fields hunting psylocybin mushrooms, while avoiding the rancher, rattlesnakes, and boat sail size spiderwebs strung between trees; swimming in shallow alligator ponds for part of my SCUBA certification classes; driving east to west or back across a couple hundred miles of cow pastures, scrub palm, swamps, and rickety wooden bridges wide enough for one and a half automobiles; lounging on clean soft sandy beaches with no tourists and no condominiums along the beach (back in the '50s); But standing outside in 80F degree weather with the sun going down behind a vista of red clouds silhouetting palm trees after a hot day in the high 90s is priceless.
I want to use https://www.daz3d.com/the-wraithgate but can I? What do I need to use it? Oh wait I think I have used it before.

Plenty of small asteroids/minor-planets, not even spherical, have moons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor-planet_moon
Pluto is not a planet! Pluto is not a planet! Pluto is not a planet! (mantra for the day)
It looks like a planet, it orbits like a planet, it quacks like a planet (I.E. not at all), so who are we to say it's not a planet? What if it self-identifies as one?
why gargoyles?
who decided to puit them on buildings?
I think I need to cancel an amazon order but my computer is being too slow in opening the web browser, I do not know why,
How many millions of dollars is what is supposed to be a new social networking service spending sending out physical letters to folks? Not gonna' visiti their website, thank you very much. The closest to benign I can see this being is them having a ton of ads on their service. My first thought was that it's a phishing scheme. Not going to bother finding out if they are legit of not.
After four reads I'm still confused.
What are you talking about? Anybody translate?
cinnAmon good on sweet potato
Gargoyles was an animted series
Without any more info than you, it seems she got snail mail about some new social networking service. I wouldn't bother with it, either. Shred the letter and move on.
