It looks like if a goose sneezed in their general direction they might get swamped. ;)

I think maybe he deleted it to tweak it some? I'm getting the same thing.

Hey new guys, like i posted in the USS Drum thread for a nother fresh talent, check out the Shading to make it par to SB rules and standards. Do not use multible shades of the same color when shading (like in the funnel of this latest drawing) but only single shade at each place. Also, when you Shaddow, use the same logic and the same shade preferably, don't try to draw a complete shaddows with pitch dark colors, but use a one or two notch darker shade of the base color instead.

Another point of notice is that ALWAYS outline everything with black lines. Only railing and rigging are exceptions.

Fixed some outlining problems and finally found a good picture and description of her ram! Also the cannon was too short!

Looking through the archive it seems that textiles are rarely outlined in black... :?

Next up are the first aircraft carriers!

Hmmm... Tim... are we applying double standards now? Stating that the statement "get a rope..." followed by an apparently jestering smiley is inflammatory and using your moderator power to hand out a warning, while calling the Civil War "The War of Southern Treason"? You probably know that something like that will be ill regarded in certain parts of the South.

Besides that, you're factually wrong, and, so was President Lincoln too - technically speaking. It was no treason, since there wasn't the kind of awareness of the value of the Union as we possess today. Nor were there any statutes in the Constitution against cessation either. It was all very tragic, fought for the very wrong reasons and very foolish in retrospect. But that's something we can afford, some 150 years later. But treason, no, not in any legal sense. Moral? Well, that's up to any individual to make that judgement, but legally? No, and again no! So, in other words, before you swing your mighty moderator's gavel around, take a look in the mirror and see what you may have written, and censor yourself.

Aside from all this, the drawings are gems from an ill-documented navy that committed a superhuman effort trying to stop the inexorable tide of Union armies from closing the pincer grip around the waist of the Confederacy. And we would like to see the Union Navy equally represented, since they only did their duty to their Country and thus are equally deserving of a full memorial. It is, btw, most fitting that it happens now, 150 years on the dot since the outbreak of the Civil War.

You know, if you are feeling particularly adventurous, you could try and do the CSS Shenandoah, the only Confederate Navy ship to circumnavigate the globe. :)
