I just submitted an entry to the Daz3D monthly gallery.
I find that doing so makes me nervous. Why?
The worst that can happen is that my picture won't be chosen, and I won't get a gift certificate. That's no big deal. That's exactly what would have happened if I hadn't submitted anything to Daz's gallery. Entering RuntimeDNA's random drawing doesn't make me nervous…
… and that the key, I suppose. Daz is supposed to be judging the pictures on quality. When I don't get chosen, I will, in effect, be told that I'm not good enough. If I don't submit, I can pretend that I would have won something if I had submitted, without any hateful realities interposing themselves.
I did the best I knew how on that picture. If it isn't good enough, then I don't know how to be good enough.
At least, I don't know how to be good enough yet.
In more cheerful art related mutterings…
We bought Kiki for Jasmine's birthday. I tried making her a T-shirt for her “in person” present, but the Tshirt I bought used shrunk in the wash. So I had to give Lori that one, and make a different Kiki Tshirt for Jasmine.
