A new IWD2 portrait site

[Micah Foehammer]

Magness,

Mike mentioned that you two had exchanged emails. lol And we are definitely diferent people. [img]smile.gif[/img]

The Felix and Grotek ports were definitely edits off our site. Have at it though. I definitely like some of the colour edits you did. [img]smile.gif[/img]

There are a couple of ports that I haven't seen before. I wish that you had the original artwork for those as they would make great NWN ports. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Our site is definitely going back up, but progress on it is VERY slow. Both Mike and I have submerged with R/L committments that have just been destroying our free time.

Originally posted by Magness: I basically agree with you. Not to sound prudish, but I also prefer the portraits of women that look ready for combat as well. Those fantasy pics with nearly naked women running around with swords, a little armor on their shoulders, and with little else but a thong may be amusing to look at, but they just don't seem practical. I don't care if you're a man or a woman... if you're going into battle with a melee weapon, you're not going to fight half-naked given a choice.

I prefer half naked female adventurers, as long as they are of good taste. Conan didn't seem to mind figting like that. Why would the female care?

Pretty nice pics, although i think that it would have been possible to sqeeze more of them onto a single page. Good website in all.

I was trying to minimize the amount of scrolling needed. My original non-framed site had all of the female thumbnails come up on a single page (ditto for the males). Of course there were also only about 1/3 as many total portraits back then as there are now. It was getting unwieldy and was taking quite a while for the page to load. So I switched to the current framed, 12 thumbs to a page format.

And I wanted to keep the thumbnails at a size that was still large enough to get a nice sense of the what the full sized portrait looked like. I did check out a variety a of sizes and settled on a 40% (of the original) size for the thumbnails.
