Alright, I'm not sure if I fully figured out the problem, because I am still getting a different box, but I did get it to work. Thanks Sarkut for the help. Thanks Yellowman for the great tut! My first attempt.

I'm having trouble downloading Octagonal/quad reshape/matte, by evanolds. The Original URL given The Updated URL (I downloaded both, I don't know if that might have caused problems?) Here's what I'm getting but it's wrong: Sarkut suggested I check Utilities/Plugin Load Errors, here's a pic: I do seem to be having trouble with one but it doesn't seem to be that one? Generally I extract the dll files to effects, but since there was only 1 dll file, and I downloaded into the Effects folder, and didn't see the "Extract to here" option, I didn't do it this time... Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

I'm having the same trouble but I tried what sarkut said and it's not helping. any ideas? (and I do have the most recent version of paint.net)

Yellowman, amazing tut! I saw the vase in your gallery and loved it! This will be my next attempt. EDIT: Comlex tut! And I'm learning a lot. I'll do the ther 1/2 this weekend.

Dark Zarosia! I really like some of your work, but have a hard time telling you exactly what and which ones. I'd love to see titles on your different pieces.

Agreed, lava lamps are my favorite above. Very outside the box. I lik different and interesting. Good job! I'll check back in.

barkbark00 super cute effect! I'll be trying this one when I get a chance.

A Fleeting Glimpse, I really like Moon Dance! It has a very unique and fun feeling to it. The lighting and shadows are really good, and the whole thing is just fun. I also really like Rock Pool. Nice textures. I'm till working on how to make textures in PDN.

Oma! For Myth and Magic, I think the tree looks amazing since you took the boulders out. Love the texture and lighting on the trunk. I also really like the perspective and contrast the bridge adds, and I like the trees in front of the bridge. I'm excited to see what else you do to it. And I would also like a dragon tut!

Thanks for the response. I can see it works, because your art is amazing!

I love the shoes! And I love that you take people's comments seriously, it's obviously not necessary that you change based on what people say, but it's still exciting. The hand is great! I really did love the image, I hope you got that from my previous comment as well, I didn't mean to sound critical. (And I liked the other show attempt back somewhere in the middle it was really cute.)

Oma, I had been following the work in progress. The finished painting is breathtaking! I cannot believe the detail you put into it. I love the textures of her seat, the background, and table, and the details in the dress, and her beautiful hair! I am so impressed with the picture. And I'm glad you put the larger version on DA for us to see. If I was going to make one suggestion I would say it might help to increase the contrast between her hand and what it's resting on (jusr a little). Oh I also think the fruit bowl is beautiful with the fruit in it. It might be strange, but I think my two favorite elements in the painting are her hair and the bowl & fruit. Again I'm very impressed! Beautiful work.

barbieq25 Looking at your gallery I think there are a lot of new things since I was here last, and your gallery is amazing! If I told you everything I like about all of them it would take forever, but I need to come here more often, (I really need to stay up to date)! In Jewels I love you “ Precious Time Flies.” The colors, shape, flow and lines are all perfect with an overall stunning effect. I also really like the effect and depth of MB Series Glass Swirl. In the Abstracts section there were too many to pick a favorite, but I really like “Ice and Fire.” The shape inside the especially that looks like a dragon, and the use of colors and lighting. PS. I also really enjoy reading Anne McCaffery, and got the impression you might like that author?

Well Oma! I don't really like my outcome and I got lazy with the background, but I really enjoyed the tutorial, and I think I learned a lot from it. You are VERY detailed (it took me 4 hours to complete, of course I was chatting online with friends while I was doing it.) Thanks for the great tutorial! (I was a little confused on the bevel step, and ended up using the same technique for the arms that you ahd for the carrot.)

Oma I love Cameo and Cufflinks. Gorgeous use of colors, great depth, and I am also intrigued by the yellow. It stands out starkly and could be great depending on what you're going for. I also like your snowman, and plan on going through the tut as soon as I find it!
