New Portraits/Small Pics!

[Dinonykos]

Well, I should know, should I not?
I used to use the jpeg-format and pcx-format during the last years, and then more or less changed to png (although it may result in slightly bigger files compared to jpeg). Is that a problem?
I can certainly add a png-version. BTW, I could also add the small pics (in opposite to most walls, unfortunately for all the hi-res-users out there) in higher resolution.

This is just my personal thought on the matter, but I think that hi-res is better, b/c you can fairly easily go down in resolution but it's not as easy to go up and still maintain picture quality.

But then, I am an advocate of 1024x768 resolution

[Dinonykos]

I have not yet praised your elves, Manikus! Ex-cel-lent! I am really impressed!

[manikus]

Thanks, Dinonykos. I hope to do some male elves soon. I think there may be a lot of elves in The City.

Hey Dinonykos, do you mind if I alter your human male small pic a bit to use in my Prohovost design?

Absolutely not. You may also feel free to alter e.g. the walls from my homepage. As long as I am credited somewhere...
I should add that there are more (and better) NPC pictures to come.

Excellent.

I am nowhere near a beta release of the design, but I am considering an alpha release that will be on the secret site.

I worked out some bugs yesterday. I also realize that I've lost a text document that contained future plans for Prohovost. (2 small pics were corrupted as well, but those I could replace with copies of the originals.)

Well, busy as I am, nothing new

However, I have decided to let out a "little secret" page that has a few additional portraits (4 or so?) that was originally being kept for a collaboration project, but nothing seems to be going for that anymore, so...

Hint: the page can be found from my Dungeon Craft page if you click a particular part of the top picture...

(I will eventually move the images with new names to the portraits page, but for now, I don't even have time to do that!)

[Dinonykos]

Excellent! Especially the faces and the foldings of some of the clothes are very convincing. The 2nd guy (respectively the 1st guy, 2nd portrait) looks a little bit like a yellow Magneto (due to the helmet, probably). The torsos of the first and second character seem a little out of proportion in my oppinion, though.

BTW, I was not able to click on the right spot in the picture, even though I could deduce form the source code were it should be. Does it really work in your browser? Maybe it is because some browsers prefer "map name" to "map id"?

[Uatu]

Ha ha - Yellow Magneto (I do have a normal greyish metal version of this picture somewhere I think... but the silly Tormites like gold armor, so... )

As for proportion - ha ha, I tend to mess up proportions when drawing with pixels, although Manikus helped me out a bit in fixing some of this (the elf was quite mixproportioned at first, for example... the moustached man also had no moustache)...

I will look into the HTML thing - did I use the wrong tab? Ho ho ho...
