Just a quick note that I uploaded all my Mavka products also at Renderosity yesterday.
They are in pending now and usually testing time for non-exclusive products is maximal about 10 days or so.

All products are available at the bargain price $5. So it will not be possible to put them on sale at Renderosity.

But sometimes they may get on sale at Content Paradise

Included in this set are 24 metal shades ornaments.
Each ornament is on a transparent png layer.
Size range from 2000 x 2000 to 2267 x 2000 (300 dpi)

All ornaments were done by me with Adobe Illustrator (TM) without using any resource.

I made a new lens at Squidoo: My Doodle Addiction

Ich bin heute auf eine interessante Seite gestoßen…. Ich habe mich gewundert, warum es sowas wie Squidoo nicht in deutscher Sprache gibt. Und dann habe ich festgestellt: Sowas gibt es doch schon

Also wer gern Artikel über Hobby, wissenswertes, lustiges oder was auch immer schreiben möchte, sollte mal zu Page Wizz schauen. Anmeldung ist kostenlos und man kann sich noch nebenher ein Taschengeld durch die Werbe Einnahmen verdienen.

Ich habe mich mal angemeldet und werde ein paar Artikel schreiben

The kids have arrived

Finally the new Daz Kids 4 have arrived

The base kids are free and they arrived with a lot of great products.
Kids 4 Toddler is also free – so don’t miss it!

I wanted to make something for the new kids release too. But because of a sad private thing in my life – my mother had leukämia and the doctors in hospital were not able to help her any more – I did not have free time to make something. We spend a lot of time in the hospital and that was way more important than making something for the kids …

I bought the new kids, the morph pack and a few products for them yesterday and will start making something for them soon.

Don’t forget to check back to see what’s new

Every day I get so many spam comments that it takes a lot of time to read and delete all those postings. I’m sorry, but I decided now to not allow comments any more.

Ich bekomme jeden Tag sehr viele Spam Kommentare und es nimmt viel Zeit in Anspruch, diesen ganzen Kram zu lesen und zu löschen. Es tut mir leid, aber ich habe mich entschlossen, die Möglichkeit Kommentare zu schreiben zu deaktivieren.

Es gibt wieder mal ein sehr interessantes pdf Dokument von Cleverprinting zum Download:

Zitat von Cleverprinting.de:

Der Typografie-Experte Günter Schuler hat bereits zahlreiche Bücher zum Thema Typografie verfasst. Für verschiedene Fachzeitschriften schreibt er regelmässig Artikel zum Thema Typografie, auch für Cleverprinting hat er bereits zahlreiche Typo-Specials verfasst. Da das Thema “richtige Typografie” sich jedoch nicht in ein, zwei Beiträgen abhandeln lässt, hat Günter Schuler jetzt exklusiv für Cleverprinting eine ganze Reihe zum Thema Typografie aufgelegt: “Günter Schulers Typo-Schule”.

Und hier geht’s zum Download

Very, very cool news !

The Poser Freebie Blog was updated with a lot of 2D and 3D Freebies

After 9 years in the Poser / 3D business 3D Commune closed the doors.

I did not sell or buy at 3D Commune for several years – but I feel sorry for all people who worked at 3DC and also for all the vendors.
Best wishes from me for the future to all of them.
