Wow! This looks great! > v < ) b

How did you do this btw? :0 Are all these people rl friends and you let them use or 3ds or somethin?

totally fun doing this collab *hugs* ^w^

Aw :3 what a good idea

This is so sweet :)

Aww so sweet! Awsome collab!
:)
MEGA ANGEL BEAR HUGS TO YOU ALL!

:'( sniffs

This is so beautiful ^-^

Awwww thank you all to the moon and back :') I love you all *hugs* And special thanks to the collabers ^-^ I hope this painting gives someone out there feeling down a big ol' smile across their face :)

@RC- We all use @collabfriends copy a painting & edit, and upload again so we can all collab off of each other :D

Aww this is sweet!! >w<

I think our collab came out great and sorry it took so long for me to put on the finishing touches. :3 We should definitely keep collabing whenever we have time. I'll come up with another collab idea unless you have an idea?

@Sapphy- Thank you so much! ^w^

@Rogue- Actually, I do have an idea. :D Basically, it would be called 'We Are One' and we would draw our characters as those folded-paper people that are linking hands (i hope you understand; i forget what they're called xD) and the collab would portray respect/equality to everyone. Ya like? :3

This is so awesome ^.^ agh i've missed colors so much; I regret ever leaving. I haven't even been on my dA either, procrastination and little inspiration got to me. However I haven't forgotten about you or anyone here and I will be making art here again ^.^ Spread the word around? Colors sure has changed since I left and i'm sure many people forgot about me haha

how are you? :3

I wished I could do this!!... -n-'

Yeah, I feel unmotivated a lot too. I usually draw on paper a lot. For inspiration I usually look at other artists drawings, or at my old art (and cringe) I learn a lot from other artists. And... I listen to music ^-^ Really, you just have to keep drawing and trying until you get something you're happy with. Sorry, I'm probably not much help :/ Just don't stress too much about getting something exactly how you want it to look (that always frustrates me) And don't worry! You have plenty of talent and skills ^-^

SUPAHBUNZZFOREVAH!

Amber- Thank you so much for the tips and help!! I needed it :) *huggies*

SOF- Re'd in your gal :3

Sagey- YYYYEEESSSSS XD

Which one is yours?

I really love your idea and know exactly what you mean! I think they're called cut-out paper dolls or something like that. I've started the general outline and I'll let you know as soon as I upload it to collabfriends. I just got distracted... :3

@Jeremiah- Top middle

@Rogue- Awesome! I'm glad you like it c: I can't wait to start it x3

Well you did an amazing job! As well as everyone else! :D

Thanks, dearie! (in a friend way xD)

Your welcome! :)

Of course yer still in yah pooter! And tank youz

Since you're passionately against bullying, I was wondering if you'd be interested in helping with a new shared account. It will be a place where people can go when they're being bullied and get advice and help. You could of course give them advice, but you could also be a moderator. See, people will state their problem and one of the moderators will set up a separate painting for that user (just put their username on a template) and type up their issue in the description. Moderators, members and visitors will then comment with advice (monitors may also need to delete an abusive comment from time to time too). And, since uploads are limited per day, monitors and members can also go to the user's page and give advice there if they don't want to be on a wait list. What do you think? Any ideas would also be helpful.

Omg Rogue! We think so much alike! I literally just finished a playback painting with the same idea, and was just gonna upload it xD But yes, I would love to be apart of that! I will let you know of any further ideas I have. (btw, I won't upload my idea painting now) I think the private account should be called @situationhelp or @privateadvice or @antibullying or something along those lines. *hug* I know this is random, but thank you for being such a kind person and role model for this community.

Aww, thanks, though I'm sorry for stealing the idea from your mind! O_O How about Bully Free Zone? It could be written in spraypaint on a brick wall. Now I'm really curious about your playback. :3

n'awww >u< Daym ive always wanted to do a collab like this X) But so coool! *u*

You gave me an idea, which is that there could be more than one group like this. This would be specifically about bullying, but there could also be one about general advice. Since each account can only upload four paintings a day (even if they're set to private), it may be good to offer multiple places to seek help. Though there might be different moderators for each because I don't want to overwhelm people.

@Jewel- Aww thanks gurlie! QwQ I miss you! :'( *huggles* owo

@Rogue- That idea sounds great!! So, let me see if I get this straight; So, a user visits the advice gallery. They leave their situation as a comment, and then moderators upload a picture with their situation as anonymous, the moderators give their advice, and then other users can leave their advice as well? I just want to make sure I understand the jist of the idea. Also, I agree that there should be more than one account because
1) less stress put on moderators
2) different accounts for different types of advice/help (ie: bullying, general advice, etc)
3) can avoid daily upload limit easier
If you don't mind, I would like to be a moderator for Anti-Bullying. In my opinion, I think there should be a bullying advice account, a general advice account, and a relationship/friendship advice account. Whatcha' think?

^yes :3

Yep, you got it perfectly! Though I may have problems setting up three accounts because you need an email address for each account. Would you be willing to set up an account? I already have the bullying one set up. It just needs the paintings ready to go. If not, that's fine. I'll create email addresses, sign up and then activate the accounts. Just allow me some time to do that since our computer is not entirely reliable. Oh, and what do you (and SS, since I saw her pop in here) think of using the same pas.sword as we use for collabfriends?

Yes, that sounds good! Using the same pa.ssword would be convenient. And sure; i would be fine with setting an account up. I'll make an email for the General Advice account, and maybe you could do one for the relationship account? :3

Okay, sounds like a plan! Though, should we open all three at once or start the bullying account first? Wow, I better find more moderators! :3

I think we should start with the bullying account first to see if everything goes accordingly. Then, based on how it goes, we can set up the other accounts. This is such a big introduction to the gallery, so I think one step at a time would be wise. :3 And omg I am so excited! xD

CLEMMEH I FOUND LE AMAZING SONG :O *throws a CD at you called "you're missing - Jason walker" .O. THIS SONG SPEAKS WORDS :OO XD

The collab I was working on with DameyC is finally finished and uploaded! So now I'll get to work on the Bully Free Zone. Hopefully we won't be too overwhelmed at once. Then once things settle down a little and we have experience with how it all works, we can open the other two.

Okay, almost ready! Can you do me a favor and, when you have free time, log in as "Bully Free Zone" and tell me what you think of the setup? Everything's set to invisible now, so you can only see it if you're logged in. Any feedback will be helpful. Oh, and I've set my status message on the friendlist to the pas.sword to use to log in.

Also, I know we already have two more advice groups waiting to be made after this, but I realized that we might need one for crisis intervention/sui.cide prevention. It's just an idea, but what do you think?

Thank you very much for understanding! I promise to respect your opinion as well as mine and I will hereby NEVER hate on yaoi or lesb.ian art!
(I never have and wasn't planning to anyway)

Thankies;3

@Sagey- ;3

@Rogue-
Wow, Rogue! I am very impressed with the Bully Free Zone! You did a nice job of making instructions clear, and the design is very cute ;3 When shall we get the word out? :)

@Rogue- I forgot to say something xD

Yes! That idea sounds great! I almost think we should have s.uicide crisis/prevention instead of general advice. (just because the bullying, s.uicide, and relationship advice accounts cover quite a bit, and four accounts would be quite difficult to manage, considering users' school/work schedules. Let me know your thoughts :)

Yes, you're right! Even now I'm worried that I might not be able to handle Bully Free Zone, so could you please choose a role to help with from these three?: Uploader, adviser or censor. Uploaders upload those johndoe paintings using the template. Advisers give advice and censors delete offensive comments. I was thinking of doing a "soft launch" where we open it and see if anyone needs advice then and there. There may be one or two people even with no real advertising. That could get us more comfortable and then we could really advertise it. How about opening it tomorrow (Saturday) morning?

Okay, I quietly opened #bullyfreezone and will advertise it later. :3

Sorry I'm late ono I've been sick :(

And I would like to be an Advisor, if that's alright with you :3

@Rogue- I left advice on every situation. (^-^)/ It feels really good to know that the @Bully Free Zone is the reason some users won't skip meals, cut, or cry themselves to sleep tonight. :)

Thank you! I'm glad to see that other people have been giving advice too. Also, I just wanted to point something out. When I try to upload something but it's at the daily upload limit, sometimes I'll go look at the painting and the title and description have been deleted! So I have to retype everything. Just thought I'd warn you. I started copying paintings that have long descriptions just in case. Anyway, the time limit will be up early tomorrow morning for two more and the other two later in the afternoon and then evening (you can look at the upload times of the most recent four for exact times). Thank you again for your help! Even without advertising it, people have noticed, so a LOT of people are being bullied and they finally have a place on Colors to turn to. :D -RR

Were you going to do sonic bro's and proartist's uploads? Also, do you think we should advertise the group or would that make it too popular and we'll get too behind because of the upload limit?

If you're still not feeling well or busy, I can upload their paintings. :3

@sonic bro's profile is gone and all his comments along with it... :(

According to @super*star, @sonic bro may have been banned for being underage. If you have his issue written down (all his comments are gone), we can still upload a painting for him to at least read advice from the internet. Or do you think we should go straight to @proartist?

How have things been going?

@Rogue- I'm really sorry to hear that! I hope Sonic is able to get his account back! I also apologize for not being online... I've been really sick :'( But I'm finally feeling better :3 Unfortunately, when I went to upload Sonic's board, the desc. got deleted -_-'
@Jeremiah- I've been really sick, but doing better now (: How are you?

Ah, yes, the disappearing description glitch... But at least you're feeling better now! *HUGS* Be sure to take lots of vitamin c regularly to help prevent getting sick. There's also something called Emergen-C which works wonders at preventing illnesses. :D

Thats good to hear. I hate being sick as well. Well anyway I've been rather fine lately.

I'm still trying to recover from being bedridden for a week and I feel silly for suggesting you need more vitamin c or whatever. I'm really sorry if I sounded arrogant! As I now know, some things can't be prevented. Just do the best you can...

I'm sorry I havn't been on latley as well. But, I'm sorry to hear you have depression.

Your welcome. I'll try to be on as much as possible. I'm starting to continue drawing but It's hard to because I've been busy latley.

I miss the Colors society from 2 years ago

Thnx! :) why arnt you on anymore tho..? :€

^w^ Oh, and I have been gone for personal reasons, but I'm better and ready to draw again! :D *hug* Btw my CinnyRoll xD (remember doz dayz?) How do always you get past the cuss filter? Y U SO SNEAKY? XD HAHA

Were have you been!!! I missed you!

I missed you too, Sagey! TTnTT I missed all of you guys! I have just been very unmotivated lately, but I'm back! New paintings should be expected soon :)

Glitches meh bible bitch XD *hug*

Hi c:

I missed you too Clemey <3... Alot...

I love ya too faithy ^-^ Hope we can play again tomorrow!

I see a certain change in the painting's description, but I don't want to say what it is in case that's a sensitive subject. How are you doing otherwise? I took some time off too, but now I'm back.

Btw, you remember the collab with cutout paper people in collabfriends? I was thinking that even though other people added themselves, if you add more to the painting (background, maybe redo the scisors since I don't like how I drew them) then the collab would be mostly yours and you could upload it here and I could link to it like I've been doing with other collabs to send viewers from my gallery to yours. It could be like a little welcome back. Oh, though before it's all done, I want to add outline to my cutout person and add some 3D, but that'll be last.

Hi Faith! :3

Anyone miss me

Thanks Clemey! X3

Aaaaah thank you UuU <3
And maple syrup is one of my facourite things which is why it is my username XD

Hey, you exist! I've been trying not to pester you in case you left. Don't worry about BFZ, but my offer still stands for your cutout collab if you do find some motivation. :3

Hi Faith! Hope you're doing well, Haven't heard from you in awhile. Missed ya!! ;A;

I Love You Faith
