You save even those?! A hardcore encyclopedist, I see ...

I endorse Wulfie's statement about quick sketches, although I don't save them all. So, not a hard core encyclopedist.

I'm shocked you saved even one. They are sketches. General ideas. Not meant for public consumption but I was bereft of proper stuff more suitable for this audience and my thread was in danger of going to the page 3. I put a lot of new stuff done properly online recently on AU but they are shamefully tame and lame. Like me getting old. Lame and tame.

Also is possible you don't have 20+ TB to emulate wulfie man.

Five continuosly connected external HD of respectively 3, 4, 5, 6 and again 6T
A few reserve external HD, all smaller, ranging from 500G to 2T

That's decent but OTOH you don't save EVERY SINGLE brainfart like wulfie here does. Like a true OCD-er, I'm sure he seldom revisits his collections, nope, he derives pleasure in the act of finding the proper folder location and filing where it should be, plus checking if he already have it and deleting the lower quality copy. Here's the pleasure, not in putting his collection to hmmm, more mundane use, involving monkeys being spanked consensually.

Except for folders like Jucundus or whatever that I'm sure he revisits periodically. Less than 1%.

You know me so well it's almost scary. I purposely do not look at even my favorites very often, but not for the reason you might think. I simply don't want to become overly familiar with them so they lose their 'effectiveness'.

I do like to be organized and after a few tries, I have a system that worked good for a while. But like all systems it must be maintained and I'm not keeping up with it very well in my golden years. So there is some searching necessary at times. The flaw in my system is mainly duplicates, which is my ownfault... "maybe this one is better than the one I already have", or "not sure I have this one, so I'll save it just in case I don't"

I haven't spanked a monkey in a while. Perhaps I should.

Your 1% estimate is probably accurate.

Sort of weird (sorry your wulf-ness ), but true for me as well.

I beg to disagree. When I was into pencil and ink drawing (something I sometimes regret not pursuing), I had books just with the sketches of known, and not so well known artists, sketches are very instructive, IMO. Besides, yours gave me the idea to create some vignettes that can ease the process of composition.

But that's different than 3D sketches. A drawing sketch teaches you the stroke techniques, light and shadows, angles, perspectives, there's a bonanza of info. A 3D sketch is only a incomplete 3D rendering, with no background and realistic lights. There's nothing I can take home If I watch Jucundus' half baked productions.

https://ralphus.net/thegimpforum/downlo ... &mode=view, great composition, as usual. Liked the small details, like the guy standing in the shadows and the other one carrying a trunk.

As to the 3d sketches, I still think they do have some utility. At least they provide a sense of composition. They gave me the idea of composing small vignettes before doing the final pic.

Amazing detail in this one JD. Had to study it for a while but it's ok, I didn't mind a bit. I actually found this latest artistic endeavor quite arousing.

Thanks for sharing, good Sir.

Spectacular image. Can you do close ups of each of the three women?
