The way I look at art is different than the way I should. I only draw something new once a year, but that like a major project that could take a month.

Most the time when I sit down to draw, I work on ideas for something that will take me a while to create. I don't like most of my ideas, and they are not often enough to say I actually draw all the time.

I spend more time thinking of stories that could inspire my next artwork, and a lot of what I do I forget. Stories/Art

I don't loose my art, but my website is so big I can put in someplace

different so I forget what I did. You can find some of my lost art in my stories. Some are on other websites that I forget to put up here. Some are on websites inside this one. SeiryuuModeling Is something I made for someone. The programing and artwork is mine but not the photos.

I spend a lot of time playing with 3D, making and rendering things, like new Jeanie theme header was a room and everything in it created and mapped for that render.

I made the clothes, and rendered animation for about a month or more making small changes to make it better. I have different versions of her swinging her hair around, different version of smoke and animation I drew. So I did a lot more than what you see in the end just to make one that works best, and delete the rest.

A lot of my artwork is like that. It is trial and error, or just ideas I don't like, and never have anything finished.

I start stories that are really long when it comes to a point when everything needs to be rewritten to work. I do that a lot before I start something I might like better. The reasons for the stories is to give me action ideas for my art. I test them in 3D and if I don't like them I do something else. Most of the scenes I draw look better than 3D, because I can create ideas in better angles from my imagination.

So even if I don't seem to have new artwork very often I am still doing my best to make my art more interesting than just a nice picture. I want more from my art, and I think todays world wants it too. 

Two years or more have gone by and nothing new. It will take me a while to change my habits to make my art better and more interesting.

After 3 year of being a theme for Wiggles of the West, Jeanie is in the shop for a make over, and will be use as a RavenNuke theme. It was not just the look but how people enjoyed this theme, so Okay it is the looks. It was a nice and smooth Egyptian look with Jeanie written in Ancient Egyptian down the sides. The only bugs you would find with it is the scarabs on the pages. New colors and some of the best parts are being used more, with glitter and sparkles, and new features not used in any nuke theme I have seen before. If there was I wouldn't need to create the script for it with trial and error.

 Jeanie is a magical belly dancer. She is the Egyptian Jeanie of the lamp to light your life. She has long black hair, dark skin, and a outfit with sequence that sparkle. Her power is strong from the glowing necklace she wears. She is on a world tour to see all belly dancers, last seen in Las Vegas.

This is a new install of RavenNuke v2.40.01 and there are problems that are still needing worked out, like ever page that drops down to the final search documents, from actual forum pages to reading the new or stories from stories is showing a blank page.

I had to fix the installation because the sql file rn_core.sql used the term ENGINE and that didn't work for MySQL4, and it might cause a problem with newer versions. I had to change all the ENGINE references to Type and my HTML program could do replace, but had a problem with some of the lines being too long to fit in the window. I had to break lines down to get to the end to replace ENGINE and put them back together. I would have a lot of fixes to put on ravennuke.com but I can't become a member. It is like they reverted back to the old nuke login scripts so nobody else can join. I have been getting request for new members and I deny them, because I'm still working on this website to get it fully working.

It look like I will need to fix a lot of syntax  errors  in the php script so everything works with MySQL4 and PHP5.

Old fixes to PHPNuke 8 had a few replacement scripts I made to improve logins and sign ups but to many spammers had their fun because it was unchecked. There was pages missing once a admin logged in and also logged in as member. I fixed that and a lot of problems and I still have a copy of all the replacement PHP scripts , main menu items, and what ever it took to fix the problems. Some versions of host setups sent forum management to the folders where they were locked out and not use the original links like ?what_ever=something.

I am going to work on this Jeanie theme deny new members an find new problem to fix later, that has nothing to do with the theme. The new theme come first. If anyone wants to contact me I have a email address <B>archie@archie-chipps.com </B>
