New site address (and look and content too)

manikus · 10-21-2007, 03:15 PM

The new site is now live. It's not just the same old art in a newly designed site, though that would still have been pretty nice. Some of my art has been retired, and a bunch of new stuff has been added. (To find out what, you'll just need to check things out.) I've finally gotten some of the sound effects up for people to use. I don't think there are any bugs, but if someone should encounter one, please contact me.

Looking good!

Nice restructuring of the site, and nice look - I think I see some new icons, too! For some reason, though, some images aren't coming through (maybe they are placeholder images). Occasionally, some images also fail to load, but load the next time I come in (go back and come back).

If on the main page for the section, it says "coming soon", there is just placeholder text on the corresponding page.

At first, I was going to upload all of my art. Then I started looking at it and decided that some of the quality wasn't what I wanted and other stuff was too similar. So, there are dozens of icons that didn't make the cut. Some, like the kobold and goblins were pulled b/c I have new icons in the works, that are in my opinion, much nicer.

Really? Hmm... Some categories DID seem a bit less in number, but I wasn't sure...

Looking forward to whatever you have that is "in the works!"

I think the portraits page of the 640 section took the biggest hit. And I won't be doing any more to replace them. I guess I need to put up an explanation that the 1024 art sized at 50% will fit perfectly for 640.

Uatu · 10-23-2007, 09:30 AM

Wow - took a look at your new 1024 size art, and there is lots of good stuff here! I like the undersea stuff the best - that shark is quite scary, and the dolphin looks quite nice as well!

manikus · 10-23-2007, 11:58 AM

Thanks, I've got a lot more in the pipeline that hopefully will make it the site by mid-December

Uatu · 10-23-2007, 10:08 PM

Mid-December... Hmm... Aiming for the Christmas season?

manikus · 10-23-2007, 10:29 PM

Hmm, I hadn't thought about that...

It's more that November is extremely busy for me and I have a week off from school at the start of December. (Yippeee!)

Ha ha! You DO have vacations, after all!

School is pretty nice, though, ya gotta admit...
