I'm insulted that because I made a simple mistake you assume that I'm some sort of racist. Bugger off.[/QUOTE]I think the insult would stem more from the fact that the chick who played the elf in D&D is nowhere near as pretty as Halle.

I am not 'buddy'. I am a lady. Let's get that cleared up right away. And no, she was not in that hideous piece of crap.

I am the one who has the right to be insulted here, if anyone does. I was not 'assuming' you were a racist. Maybe you should look up the word 'congenial'. I was being wry, yes, but not making assumptions. A simple 'That's not how it is' would have easily sufficed.

The reason I would be offended, if I were Halle Berry, has nothing to do with racism. It is because the woman in question was both ugly and an utterly horrible, laughable, pathetic actress.

Now, you may 'bugger off'.

Both of you...this was not what was intended for this post. Try to be forgiving, when it comes to misunderstandings...or find somewhere else to argue...please...thanks [img]smile.gif[/img]

But as long as people write here, I feel it's necessary to aswer their questions and requests. So, thanks for understanding [img]smile.gif[/img]

Dude, I'm not worried. You can answer as many questions as you like and mention it as many times as you like. What I meant was that it would be easier for everyone to keep it to this thread, so everyone would know where to go.

No worries - like I said before, you've got the makings of a really good site - it could grow to something as big as Lady Nightshade's or Kirith and we're happy to help you reach an audience. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You should try emailing some of your stuff in to Bioware - your work is definitely game quality.

Excuse me - we don't tell people to bugger off here at Ironworks (both Wynne and Darkman). I don't really care who started this, but Wynne, you might be well advised to follow your own advice - a simple explanation to Darkman of the way he misunderstood your earlier post would have sufficed, rather than a lengthy rebuttal inviting more flames (inviting him to look up the word congeniality, etc). It's just...less "smart-assy", you know what I mean?

An honest mistake is an honest mistake.

In any case, who started it is irrelevant - what IS relevant is that it won't continue. Let's have some respect for Karze (and each other) and try not to take this thread off-topic - if you and Darkman want to continue your discussion in this vein, perhaps taking it to email or PM would be the best option for both of you (and the rest of us).

Sorry. I misunderstood Wynne's post and over-reacted just a little bit

I still don't understand her comment, but I definately shouldn't have responded the way I did. My appologies.

Now let us move on and continue to admire Karse's wonderful creations.. [img]graemlins/angel.gif[/img]

So says Memmoch. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Isn't it SO much nicer when people get along?

[Horatio]

Highya, what do ya think of it? I did it before, then stopped cos I wasn't sure if you minded, Karze. But does it work now?

[The.Relic]

Hi Horatio! It worked great and they come out fine. The only problem is that if you intend for that to be your sigs pic, it is far too big for what is allowed at IW. Had a problem with huge sig pics a while back and had to incorporate rules to keep them smaller. So you might want to shrink it or subtract a couple to bring it down to one bar instead of two.

Seem to have made an honest mistake [img]smile.gif[/img] Anyways...I really appreciate you comments on this thread. It's always nice to feel wellcome [img]smile.gif[/img]

I haven't considered mailing Bioware about the portraits, and I probably won't either. Maybe, I'd consider it if I didn't "steal" pictures of real life actors and just blended it together with other people's artwork [img]smile.gif[/img] I don't see the portraits I make as anything other than a whole lot of fun [img]smile.gif[/img]

Guess I have to visit Nightshade and Kirith...just to see what I have to live up to [img]smile.gif[/img] Again thanks for the help.
