    I am a little worried for the sanctity of Ron's original vision if my atypicaly heavy tail gets too close to the art supplies.

    We can hope that you learned your lesson last year, and you keep that tail away from all canvases this year. We can hope. There is always hope...

    Wow, I almost made a joke about a piece of tail.

    Almost.

    But seriously, I love animals.

    I also love all my friends here at DAZ3D.

    Richard Kicks the Can

    Richard: Well, Ron, I can see from here that your use of color repetition left to right and top to bottom is excellent. The flowers and leaves contrast beautifully with the blue background. Your choice of that dark blue was inspired, for sure. The green stem leads the eye to the focal point of the large yellow sunflower. The broad brush strokes are in the impressionist style - still very popular with buyers today. My eyesight is not very good from this distance, I'll have to get closer to examine the full detail of your brushstrokes. Hold on while I take a look. I'll hop up on that table to examine it more closely, but overall, I am really impressed with your work!
    Ron: Wow, I'm so happy to hear that from a real expert like you, Richard. Please, take a closer look.
    Richard (jumping toward the table): Uh Oh! This tinsel tail is way too heavy. I'm not going to stick this landing at all. And now I kicked that big metal can. Yikes! What else could go wrong?

    Richard might get hurt if that happened! We can't have that. But something unfortunate is sure to occur. It always does...

    You have an unequaled "got out of trouble by the skin of your teeth, in the nick of time, to live another day" record. Is that the same as "safety"? Hmmm. Not sure about that...

    Ah, yes. "A Tail of Woe" may be the title of the next installment, yet to be created.

    How do these unfortunate things keep happening to you?

    I imagine that is universally true in all contexts.

    I can see how that applies here.enlightened If Ron had not left the cap loose on that big metal solvent can, this would not have happened. What is Ron doing with a can of solvent for acrylic paint anyway? This must be all Ron's fault. I, of course. must be completely innocent in this "accident". wink Yeah, you all believe that, right? Um Hm.

    Yeah and I have a bridge to sell you.cheeky

    Oooooh! Is it available in the Daz Store? Does it work with UltraScenery2? Does it have Iray shaders? Does it work in DS6 Alpha? Do you have some promo renders? 
    Or is it fastened down in Brooklyn and weighs tons and is not compatible with Daz Studio at all. Boo.

  • barbultbarbult Posts: 27,500

    Fortunately for Ron, Richard, and anyone else, the actions depicted here are not the fault of any of the "real" us - well, except for me, of course.devil And so it shall continue...

    I didn't even know Felinomics was a thing. I wonder how many more laws it has.
    I asked online "What are the laws of Felinomics?" AI took me quite seriously and replied:

    If you are thinking of established legal topics related to cats, these generally fall under existing animal welfare laws rather than a specific set of "felinomics laws".  

    I like Richard's interpretation better.

    I gave Richard a few days of peace over the holidays, but I will soon be back to continue documenting his adventures.

    A Tail of Woe

    Richard beat a hasty retreat, leaving behind a cloud of loosened hair extensions, LEDs and tinsel in his wake. Ron stood by horrified.

    Oooh, cool effect. Err, I mean the way events transpired is certainly regrettable and if it were in any way my fault I would of course be deeply apologetic.

    Finally catching up on the adventures.  Thanks for the laughs!

    The story is fantastic.

    By the way I start a Portrait Painting class tomorrow.

    Oops - Collision

    As Richard flew through Ron's apartment door, he ran right into the UPS man delivering Ron's new clothes and portrait painting supplies. I hope nothing was breakable. Of course, Richard probably blames this unfortunate collision on the delivery man. Any cat could have heard the ruckus inside the apartment and known to back away from an opening door. Tsk tsk. Humans! Always in the wrong place at the wrong time.
