It's not nice to pop balloons! Specially around a bunny who thinks they are fun to hug and play with!

There is someone who is very very good at drawing on balloons and I'm sure he would help you with some tips. Check out http://gato303co.deviantart.com/

Popping them is just Gal's way of playing with them. Gal likes the sounds they make when hugged and sat on, but is often rough with them. Good thing Gal has a infinite supply.

Thanks for the link, though. It actually reminded me of http://homepage2.nifty.com/orcus-hp.....kki-gazai.html which is a pretty good page for finding tools that work pretty well for drawing on balloons, I think.

So, you didn't see my balloon art? I am not good enough for you? I am always open to help people improve their art.

Are you replying to Squeakybunny or to me? I don't understand what I am being asked.

I am asking to you. You haven't seen my balloon artwork. I don't know if you hate me, or if my balloon art is not good enough for you. Anyway, never mind, enjoy eternal life.

I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, because I didn't know if we've spoken before and I forgot, or if English isn't your primary language, or what.
From my perspective, it looks like a stranger has come to my page, thanked someone for mentioning them in a different comment that I've only just seen last night, assumed that I don't like their work for reasons unstated, and then left with a passive-aggressive comment implying that we will not meet again until death (as the average life of a human is known to not be infinite, and that death is the only thing certain about living as a human).

"Thanks for saying my name, and for saying I am so good"
Your contact info here on FA does point to links about Gatot303, but nowhere in your bio on the top of the page did you mention that you are him. You only mentioned that your character is a clone of the other one. So when I first clicked your comments from the other night, I had no idea you were the same guy on dA who removed their old account info from FA three years ago.

"So, you didn't see my balloon art?"
Dude. There's a little bar at the bottom of my dA pages that defaults to a search for the newest "balloon" tagged images. I'VE BEEN SEEING YOUR ART FOR YEARS ALREADY.

"I am not good enough for you?" "I don't know if you hate me, or if my balloon art is not good enough for you."
^- This was your assumption. I have no idea where you pulled it from. If it comes from the fact that I don't comment on every single thing you draw, then let me ask you if you leave comments on every single thing you see that you even half like on every website you go to? I doubt it. Most people have sites that they comment on, and other sites that they silently visit. And when something isn't relevant to their interests, they simply ignore it and continue on about their day. That's one of the benefits of the structure of the internet.

Also, hate is a very strong word, not to be tossed around lightly. To hate someone, I would need to dislike someone first. And to dislike someone, I would probably have to have met them and spent time with them first. I hardly know enough about you right now to have anything but a mild dislike since we've only seldom written comments to each other in the past years ago, if even that. All I know about your is that you're a non-popper who frequently draws on balloons on dA and sometimes leaves comments on some of the same videos I like on Youtube, like some of Rex Raccoon's videos for example. You've also drawn some pics for Rex.

Squeakybunny: "There is someone who is very very good at drawing on balloons and I'm sure he would help you with some tips."
Aldo5037, if you're upset because I didn't ask your advice on HOW DO I DRAWED BALLOONS? It's because I'm already getting tips from http://ssjessiechan.deviantart.com/ and http://homepage2.nifty.com/orcus-hp.....kki-gazai.html . They've already told me more than I can even use, because I don't intend on investing a bunch of money on extra tools to draw on balloons. I'd rather spend the same money on buying more balloons as playthings. I'm not drawing as much as I used to in general, anyway.

Gato/Aldo: "Anyway, never mind, enjoy eternal life."
It would be silly to never-mind it after having thoughts I don't believe jammed down my throat. The eternal life portion probably shouldn't even have been in this sentence.

Your pouting about assumptions that you made isn't making a good first-impression, nor is it making me more interested in knowing your as a person or your creative work. In a nutshell, you're pretty to casting your own self-fulfilling prophesy here, though it's probably not too late to do something about it and change the situation.

You filled me again with a lot of words. I accept you won.

Yes, I am Gato303 in Deviant Art, and in my FA profile, in Deviant Art account there's a link to my Deviant Art

Sorry for not telling you from the beggining who I was. It wasn't my intention to come like a stranger to you, and make a harsh comment, my mistake.

I really like to help people, but you didn't ask me for help, makes me feel unuseful, and I have much more time than Jess drawing on balloons.

By the way, why the second web site you say about balloon drawing tips, redirects to a japanese page where everything is written in japanese? Do you and Jess know japanese?

I can't find the DA bar you're talking about, I checked several of your DA pages and found nothing. By the way, I deactivated Icons/Avatars, signatures, sitbacks and similar stuff on DA, for the sake of reducing page loading time.

Is it true that you have seen my balloon artwork? Well, I thought you didn't have any interest on my artwork, cause I am a man and Jess is a woman, and a grown-up man that still plays with balloons is taken as something "weird" or maybe "gay" or even a "pedophile", but people would tolerate a grown-up woman who still play with balloons. I know, I am assuming as a fact thoughts in my mind that can be wrong, without investigating further.

You don't have to comment or favorite nor watch me, I cannot force you to do that, but if you don't make anything to letting me know, I feel I don't have support from you and the other people for my balloon art, sometimes I felt my balloon art is considered inferior, worthless, a waste of time, cause between the few comments I have got, people tell me "draw in paper is more easy" "don't waste your time with balloons, balloons are only for kids". Sometimes, I have felt I have to give it up about this stupid "balloon art" thing, and start drawing digital like eveyone else.

I know what I said in the previous paragraph is not your problem, just wanted to tell you the way I feel, sure you have your feelings about this too, but you don't have to pay attention to what I said.

When you say i am casting my profecy, yo mean it'll be my end soon here in FA? Well, I got the impression opening this account was a mistake, I am so sorry, but I have no idea how to close a FA account, I asked the admins, and didn't give me enough information.

I have no right to treat you, the way I treated, I don't know you and you don't know me. I got so passionate about this stupid "balloon thing", that I tend to make harsh comments to people who enjoy popping balloons like you. So I think the best action for me to take, is to leave you alone, and I won't bother you again. Just think yourself like you never knew me. Goodbye mr Travis, my best wishes for you.

By the way, "enjoy eternal life" is just a phrase I received in a spam mail, so basically, I was spamming you, I am sorry for that too.

I'm not saying quit drawing. I'm saying pick yourself up, dust yourself off, stop putting yourself down, and keep doing what you do. You're being original in a way that a lot of other artists aren't, by doing something that you like and keeping at it. You don't have to change your art just because someone else said so (unless they're paying you to draw said art in the first place.) Do art however you think is right.

When I said that you had left FA before, I was talking about this FA account of Gato303, which hasn't been updated in a long time.

For that particular Japanese page I linked earlier, I use Google Translate to help. I'm learning a little bit of Japanese, but I'm not fluent. I don't know about Jess. You would have to ask them.

"Is it true that you have seen my balloon artwork?"
Yes.

"Well, I thought you didn't have any interest on my artwork, cause I am a man and Jess is a woman, and a grown-up man that still plays with balloons is taken as something "weird" or maybe "gay" or even a "pedophile", but people would tolerate a grown-up woman who still play with balloons."
No. You realize I'm an adult male, too, right?

"I got so passionate about this stupid 'balloon thing', that I tend to make harsh comments to people who enjoy popping balloons like you."
You're making the same kind of assumptions as the people you described in the quote above. Where on the internet have I ever said that I like popping balloons? I like the fantasy, a chunk of the appeal of which lies in the fact that in fantasies, balloons can just come back out of nowhere or rain from the heavens or do whatever you want it to. I like the idea. I might like cartoons and videos and things, but that doesn't mean it's something that I do.

"You don't have to comment or favorite nor watch me, I cannot force you to do that, but if you don't make anything to letting me know, I feel I don't have support from you and the other people for my balloon art, sometimes I felt my balloon art is considered inferior, worthless, a waste of time, cause between the few comments I have got, people tell me "draw in paper is more easy" "don't waste your time with balloons, balloons are only for kids"."
I don't get a lot of comments either, and I often feel the same way.
The following concept may be hard to understand without strong English skills and a bit of art experience: The reason I don't comment on your art has nothing to do with the quality of it. I don't have a strong attachment to these art sites, I don't spend hours a day on these art sites, and I don't usually comment on someone's artwork unless I am very taken with it and want them to continue doing more of it. What I invest my time in has a lot less to do with the quality of the production and a lot more to do with how attached I am to the ideas enclosed within the artwork. Even then, I usually only add the artwork I really like to my gallery without ever leaving a comment. Just because http://browse.deviantart.com/?order=11#/d3d0jt9 is well made doesn't mean I like it. Just because http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2125977/ is in my favorites doesn't mean I feel compelled to leave a comment on it. Not everything I like is something I want to discuss, in a nutshell. And only a portion of what I like needs execution to still be likable.

"When you say i am casting my profecy, yo mean it'll be my end soon here in FA?"
No. I was talking about this FA account.

"I was spamming you, I am sorry for that too."
Apology accepted.

I find if you are going to draw on balloons careful Use of a sharpie marker works well for preventing smearing of the ink, just when deflated the image will transfer to other things like the other places of the balloon or clothing.

Looks very nice though, well done! :)

Thanks! The sharpie marker comment is one I'm hearing a lot, so I think I'll pick up some of those some time soon. And I'll keep the deflation thing in mind, though I very seldom deflate balloons. (I don't have clips nor a pump, so multiple inflations can get kinda icky.)

*by half-knot, I mean.

Try heating the balloon with a mild heater. Test it first to make sure it isn't too hot, or the balloon may pop after all that work. I often use a hair dryer as well.

It's essentially the same situation for when you print balloons from a silk screen, which I do, and if you do not heat them to cure the ink, it won't dry on the latex. Of course, it does depend on the ink.

If you ever want any runs of balloons (of any size) printed with your art, let me know! I can make that happen!

:o Awesome tip. Thanks! I'll keep you in mind if anything sounds like it'd be cool for a run! x3

This is really cool. Nice drawing. :)

Thanks! I'm pretty fond of this one, too.

Me too.
