Nice drawing!! Grin

Your website looks nice. I noticed you made it with "WYSIWYG Web Builder". Anyway, it looks very nice, but many of the links I clicked on took me away from your site. It would be easier to navigate if links like "The crabshack gallery" opened in a new window. I had trouble navigating through your gallery. It had a different layout than the rest of your website which makes it seem like it isn't part of your website while in reality it is the focus of your website (or so it seemed to me). Sorry if I seem like I'm pointing out all the problems, but I like to know problems rather than just hear "it's good" because that doesn't tell what to improve. Anyway, nice website and really impressive artwork, but I'd work on keeping the look of the site familiar to make it easier to navigate.

EDIT: Oops! Tongue

My computer was doing funny stuff when I went to your gallery page. Still, it would be nice if you had a menu bar for the gallery pages to help navigate. I think I kept getting lost because my connections messing up (or something...)

One of your images is titled "It her not so usual outfit, Nárya smiles. (C) Me". I think the "It" should be "In"

Bigkahuna: Yep, that's Elvish... That's what happens when you spend your free time mostly teaching it, you see a use for elvish everywhere.

Tint: Well, I really LOVE drawing, I love it so much that I do it really fast... it's a thing I have to change. About her expression, I'm glad you pointed it out. I usually don't have an idea of what the character is "feeling" when I'm aiming for more movement-anatomic things. So I'd have to try to not forget about it.

"Knowing" her (she's a character I've been drawing, playing and writing about for about five years), she's probably just showing somebody what can she do with a sling... How far can she reach, how high can the stone go, how fast, how accurate... some of that. So I'd say she's concentrate, confindent and comfortable doing it with no need to be perfect...

(hope all that makes sense... ???)

Altay: About the website... well, I'm not good with html, and I've done most of it with pre-made templates (specially the gallery), so I have not idea on how to make it more like the site itself.
I'll try in a time, but for now I'm gonna leave it as it is...

And about links opening in a new window... I still haven't found how can I do that in that web builder... Undecided

???

Thanks for your comments!

Reply #20 - Mar 10^th, 2006 at 10:32pm Sounds way cool! 8) Ever thought of putting them all together and published? I am very interested in the stories, what genre are they? Action/Fantacy?

I'm always thinking about that, it's been one of my dreams...

And well, let's say medieval fantasy, some kind of The Lord of the Ring fan fiction, but really just using the places there: Rohan, Harad... I was too lazy (and too adicted to LOTR) when I started writing it, and she was in fact a character I created for a Middle Earth based academy... so now publishing is "difficult"

That pretty cool. Fan fiction has its' own magic. If it is your dream, there must be something you can do.

Preharps you can change the names around? When it comes to writing ideas, the good writers borrow and the best ones steal. Most novelist writes about existing civilisations but most readers do not notice. They just modify a bit of history and call it by a different name.

I am also writing a medevil/epic story. The main character is an expert slinger. I'll let you read it once it is done. May be you can paint some pictures for that too! Grin

Sure it will at least be interesting.

And about changing names, maybe I'll try, but it sounds strange to me, as if it was a crime or something like this. Suppose I like Tolkien too much to do something like this. We'll see.
And I would really like to read your story! Hope it's finished soon!

(I would let you read mine, but having to translate it to english would take so long...)

I am not much of a Tolkien fan. David Gemmell is my favourite. BTW, Middle Earth is what the ancient Chinese called China in the old tongue.

Reply #27 - Mar 13^th, 2006 at 7:25pm know what would be cool? if tint would start a comic and narya would start another. both with diffrent styles and what not then halfway through the two main people would bump into each other and you would have some kind of odd meshed style of drawing for each strip.
