OK, I paid .02 more bitcoins...and I'm still very disturbed by what I see. The left arm almost looks like a man's. And it almost look like she (Satoshi?) is being groped by a man behind her, but there is obviously no man behind her. Anyway, I obviously like your artwork, else I would have not paid for two versions of it already.

I can't wait for it to be finished.

Gottach draw better hands somehow, but I am afraid the smudges will mess it up?

Anyway, thanks for your support. I feel like, I am gathering fans!

I'd like to have your views on my post about the selling of information with bitcoins. See there : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/selling-information-with-bitcoins-1344

In order to sell an image, one solution would be to sell a blured image. You would display the blured image on your website, and you would improve it for each additionnal paiement.

To do so you could use for instance imagemagick :

convert original_image.jpg -blur ${N}x${N} blured_image.jpg

Where ${N} would be the size of the blur filter (the smaller it is, the better is the image).

Interesting solution. However, the incomplete work already functioned as "blurring".

I sell the latest revision of my art each day. If they want me to continue, they will continue to buy to see further rendition of my artwork.

The hand on the hip? The right hand on the cloak?

Sorry, I already deleted your image (and I'm not going to pay again to download it again), but I think the left hand was across the woman's stomach. The finger shapes, and the smudge that could have been hair on the back of the hand, made it look masculine to me.

It will be cleaned up in the end.

hands definitely need more work =)

I quite liked the hands in version 34, because one of them looks quite masculine, which just adds to the ambiguity of the whole situation.

The most difficult to draw are:

1. Face
2. Hands
3. Feet

Tiny squish details that are a fricking nightmare to draw. The solution is however, to draw lot of hands and stick them into art pieces, no matter how much it detract from your artwork. If you alway hide hands, you never will draw good hands.

btw, how did you setup the automatic instantaneous bitcoin payment to allow for downloads? I myself run a podcast, and I want to be able to allow people to listen to low quality audio for each podcast for free, but require them to pay a few bitcents to download the high quality audio. Is your system based on ip address? How long does it remember your ip address, if so?

This site built by me. It assume all payments are legitimate (that's why you got instant access to download), but to prevent abuse - it put all commission payments into queue and keep it there until 6 confirmations received and only then pays commission to file owner.

You can use it to host your podcasts too. If 1cent commission is too low - I plan to implement variable price for downloading and really like to hear ideas how to setup pricing.

Edit: to not hijack this thread, please post questions regarding ubitio.us to it's own thread - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1811.0;all

Demand is low. People are getting tired of my artwork in progress?

I just downloaded it and found it quite creative!
