A Re-Birth of Sorts

A good friend who I chat with often had a birthday this week, so I made this caption for Elly.

The Haven Line of Products

The monthly caption contest on Rachel's Haven involves making ads for a line of transformative products.  I figured I'd post them up here to give you guys and gals something new to look at.

I've been busy with a lot of recreational hypnosis lately, and I have not given much time for captioning.  Some of the things I've done might make for some interesting 'forced' type captions if any of you are interested.  If so, drop me an encouraging comment, and I'll see what I can churn out.

Without further ado, here are the ads I made:

You Are What You Eat

This caption was originally intended for a 'clean caption' contest, but I think I pushed a bit further in the clean spectrum than was intended.  I instead gifted the cap to a deserving person.

I'm still looking for some commentary on the watermark.  I assume that no complaints so far means that 'I done good.'   If not, let me know and why and I can work on it.

A Helpful Friend

I put this caption together as a quick pick-me-up for someone who was feeling a bit bummed.  I figured I'd post it here to share it and to debut the new watermark.  Any feedback on the watermark would be greatly appreciated.  I don't want it to be too prominent, but I also want to make sure it serves its purpose.

I hoped it wouldn't come to this...a rant

When I started making captions 2 years ago, I thought I'd be lucky to get a handful of followers on my blog.  I create and post caps that I enjoy, and I hope that some of you might as well.  Up until now, I've avoided adding a watermark to my captions because I didn't want to interfere with the look of the caption.

This morning, I found out that some of my captions were posted on DeviantArt by a user attempting to give the impression that my work is his own.  It seems that I have hit the level of easy pickings for immature people out there that feel the need to bump their own ego by claiming the work of others.

I've worked up a simple watermark that I hope I can easily work into my future captions.  I'll do my best to keep it unobtrusive, but it may be a bit of a work in progress.  I'm truly sorry that it has come to this.

If you'd like to copy and repost my captions, that's fine.  Please make sure you credit me and consider pointing back to my blog if you do.

To the ones who steal credit for the work of others... I keep all original copies of the captions I make, which are often multi-layered and higher resolution than what I post.  I will always have proof that my work is my own.

Sorority Rush

This one's a bit more on the darker side than I usually go, but the photo just demanded that I write up a cap for it.  There just something ominous about it.  I don't know if it is the fact that the girls look like they are on a mission, or that they are walking out of their jeans without taking any notice.  In any case, enjoy!

Brown Eyed Girl

Since I've been doing a lot of chat hypnosis lately, I was inspired to do a hypnosis / magic crossover caption.  Those of you that I've been working with may understand the underlying inspiration on this one...and a special someone gets to actually experience it...talk about lucky.
