I decided to start playing Mad Libs with my friends, but most of them are online, so I am giving everyone a chance to play with me.  I posted on my site a request for words, and after so many responses, or tomorrow (whichever comes first), I will start posting the completed responses.

So, I am here, tired from I dunno.  Looking through my DeviantArt watch messages, and as I look at them, I usually click 'remove from messages' to remove them from the queue as I see what there is.  Ok... that's great.  But when looking at a friend's journal entry, where I thought the button was (after I read the entry) there was a 'Remove from Favorites' button instead.  Which I didn't realize until after I pressed it, and I was scrambling to get it re-added to favorites because I like this person and her art.  Sheesh, DeviantArt please standardize the location of these buttons... I'd be happy if they were ALWAYS in the same place...

I hear this so often, tools versus pixels, some prefer one over the other, and their opinions are very vocal.  This has been the case since early dolling days, and I remember coming into the community back in 2003 and seeing it very heated.  Both have their advantages, and disadvantages, both are either easy or difficult depending on who you ask.  Both can be beautiful or shoddily done. When people refer to dolling, some say it isn't an art, some say that using a base is cheating, some say tool shading is cheating.  These assumptions are harmful to the ARTISTS who do this form of art. There are many definitions of doll, all equally relevant
