Mrs. Is making a campaign and art giveaway. I am moved by her action about warning everybody of this horrible action against human life. (And, of course, intersted in the giveaway)

So pay attention to this text, everybody, maybe you can help in a way or another.

LIFE FOR A SEX TRAFFICKING VICTIM

After a trafficking journey that typically involves deception, rape, beatings, and constant threats, victims are often forced to live in confining and unsanitary conditions. Once formally put to work, human trafficking victims can be forced to service from 40 to 110 customers in one day1. Malnutrition, sleep deprivation, as well as emotional and physical abuse become part of the day-to-day routine.
In addition to the abuse, forced abortions and the contraction of STI's, Hepatitis B and C, and AIDS are ever looming probabilities. Life for a victim of sex trafficking is hell on earth. This injustice is the reason The A21 Campaign exists.

THE STATISTICS: FOCUS EUROPE

Human trafficking is the second largest global organized crime today, generating approximately 31.6 billion USD each year. Specifically, trafficking for sexual exploitation generates 27.8 billion USD per year2.
There are 1.39 million victims of commercial sexual servitude worldwide3.
Over 25 percent of sex trafficked victims are trafficked from Southern and Eastern Europe4.
90% of victims trafficked into the European Union member states will end up in the sex industry5.
Tragically, only 1-2 percent of victims are rescued, and only 1 in 100,000 Europeans involved in trafficking are convicted6.

GREECE - A PRIMARY DESTINATION

Greece is known as 'the center of trafficking in Europe.7 A primary destination and transit country for human trafficking, Greece is the primary gateway for trafficked victims to enter the European Union, host to 90% of all EU illegal immigration8. Trafficked victims are moved frequently, both internally and across borders, to evade detection. Human trafficking is a hidden crime here, with most citizens unaware of the gross human rights abuses occurring in their own city. Approximately 20,000 women, including 1 000 girls between the ages of 13-15, remain in the Greek sex industry9. According to The Trafficking in Persons Report, these victims are primarily from Eastern Europe, the Balkans and Nigeria.

Thanks for all the people that are posting tutorials and such, all your inspiring works and guidance is helping me very much!

Let me tell you guys...

I've been working traditionally for the past 3 years (and the rest of my life before my life as professional artist), i've only used digital software to do the (poor) coloring.

So, recently i've bought a wacom bamboo fun pen tablet, its a wondrous little magic wand, i must tell you. I'm totally satisfied with the purchase though, i am still having a somewhat hard time to get used to it. It takes me a very long time to finish a drawing, the sketch part is easier but the inking is a pain.

For software i am using the following:

Sketchin, Inking and Coloring: My Paint V 0.8
Tweaking: Adobe Photoshop CS3

I have a tops PC, but the CS5 photoshop seem to be a too-much for the little use i do of that. Im thinking about downloading the GIMP (i have it in my Linux setup) but i use a fractal resizing plugin system that exists only in photoshop (called genuine fractals).

So, i'm just posting here to state that i'm un-satisfied with my production, though i am decided to draw more and more!

And THANKS for all your support!
