Baldur

I am rather serious here, not just being contrary.
To me the 'avatars' theme has filled the galleries with ugly. There I times when I think Baldur will shriek if he sees just one more bald head with a bow on top of it.
Every once in a great while somebody uses the theme cleverly, but in between it's awful, awful, awful.

Thank goodness the ***** that deleted your pic from guesstheartist can't touch the top 5! It's hard to believe someone could be so petty!

lynnspotter

The bald heads ARE numerous! Maybe if there were other backgrounds? It would not sadden me if it went the way of the old faces theme!

Baldur

Perhaps what I should add here is that Baldur thinks the parts available are irredeemable, One really needs to do serious multiple overlaps to disguise what each component is to use them in any attractive manner.
When for example a very young child uses one of the other themes and produces a simple piece of art it does not assault my eyes because the components in themself are pleasant enough to look at.
To Baldur anyway, drawings of that nature using Avatar parts are a bit disturbing.
Just out of politeness I will not leave a comment on them.

It all boils down to the fact that this is not our site, we are graciously given free reign to use it.
Baldur is quite grateful for the ThinkDraw Crew to have given this to us.
But, 'avatars' is still ugly.

1) I would be ECSTATIC if we could replace Avatars with Faces, or at least combine them

2) I would sing praises to Rachel, TD and any other powers that be, if we could get Faces re-introduced into the Top 5 [and lets face it.. Top 5 is already way over a screen, do I'd be more than happy to scroll down a bit more]

3) I totally concur with Baldur - .. except possibly where he uses 'reign' instead of 'rein' ?

Rachel, Rachel.. PLEASE reinstate Faces !

Baldur

I didn't catch that when I proofread my comment marg. Thank you, as you are quite correct.

and I didn't catch mine.. -d+s

(and thanx again, Baldur, for introducing us to the spelling amender [OK - amendor for you septics ! - although I think I just made the word up anyway)

Baldur

oh my

+k marg, though maybe you did indeed mean 'septics'

polenta

yes, Rachel, please give us the new medium you promised half a year ago.

... or even +c ...

On the subject of the deleted 'Guesstheartistgame' drawings, maybe it wasn't done out of spite. Many of us had congratulated individual Top 5 winners, so it had to have been done after Top 5 was displayed ... in which case, what could anyone possibly gain by the deletions?

I don't know..... maybe they gain a victorious feeling?

Mmm ... you mean it's a power thing?

It could be a jealousy thing, or simple mean old spite. Or, as some others have suggested, it may be that they thought it might open up another spot on the Top 5 not realizing that once the Top 5 is decided nothing will change it and the picture will still be visible there. The only one who can really tell is the person who did it and I doubt they'll willingly tell us.

I don't think it was about Top5. They wouldn't have deleted my pics as well. :|

puzzler

I had to smile at comment 21, when Baldur says how much he hates avatars and would shriek if he sees any more bows on top of bald heads, because he actually gave my pic a lovely comment - http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=72483
but perhaps he is right, 'cos the more I look at my plum pudding, the more it could be construed as some bows on top of a bald head! Lol!

Luna

puzzler, I thought it was holly, and it still looks yummy.

addyirene08

Yeah, a power thing.... I'm sorry, you guys don't know me but I've been keeping track of think draw while looking over my twin's shoulder at the screen..... I know who you all are, I know the ones with the great pics, everything....

belladonnis

I would hate to think that someone would maliciously delete such lovely pictures, but the more Im on TD it seems that some of the adults that use this site have never left highschool. Its a shame that some people have to act so much more immature than the children they are raising. I hope you all get your pictures back!

Baldur

now puzzler, I never thought your plum pudding with hard sauce and sprig of holly looked anything like a bald head replete (+7 points) with bow.
