Hey Gary... I like Marius's work - very nice indeed.

One small thing though - you've attributed the copyright to me in the Main featured artist section instead of Marius!

That cheeseburger looks tempting...

Great stuff on the Xone, yet again!

I do prefer my burger with a good helping of Gambozola Blue cheese, raw onions and Dijon mustard! Gary, your burger was picture perfect, mine would to better in smello-vision, though [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Marius' illustrations were a treat for my kids and me; we all enjoyed them! Great stuff! The only problem is that my kids are now calling me Smartypig... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Rich - fantastic work, thanks for sharing!

Vladimyr - it is great to see your tutorial where it can be found and appreciated! You truly, truly, truly are an amazing artist! May you receive all the success and appreciation that you deserve!

Yes Gary, I DID click the link! Having Pokemon in front of the Xone is a scandal!

Come on people, spank that Pokemon! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Loved the teach-in but way too hi-caloric. (Had to rush out after completing it to grab a classic burger at the Cheesecake Factory!).

Must say tho', I was expecting some melted interesting emmenthaler cheese and at least some seeds in the tomatoes and pickles! ;^D

The roughing around the edges of the burger patty created via the (somewhat tedious) process of brushmaking only underscores the need for the next version of Xara to have a set of roughing tools (bubble and tweak etc...)

Great job!

BTW, when you created the corrugated ridge around the pickle slices (the two different size circles), is there a keyboard shortcut that would allow one to easily duplicate the initial clone-and-rotate rather than manually dragging and right clicking?(eg.Ctrl-D as in AI)

Or Ctrl R in CorelDRAW? Nope. We've been asking Xara for five years for something like that. It sometimes takes a while for these requests to sink in :-)

That said, you can hold down the Ctrl key to constrain the angle of rotation and then drag and drop and it is almost as fast and depending upon how you have your rotation amount specified in the Page Options > General section,(mine is 15 degrees) you can do 15, 30, 45, 60 degree rotations pretty quick.
