well the parchment thing didn't really work cos the design is repetitive... but who cares...

but i really like the second pic. there's really nothing mcuh to say cos they really come together really well. if you even needed another ensemble cast for a comic there you have it. one question tho... why's he like having a peace sign behind his back? seems an odd way to twist your arm too.

I postulated that possibility to Jack, and I guess my suspicions were right... Fever and low platelet count usually means dengue (considering Jack was going how fever and low platelet was related). You alright mate? Please keep us updated?

Erm... clearing leave or not, it's not an entirely desireable disease... small solace at any rate.

wwl: you mean you aren't scared about LIVE ACTION EVA WITH ANG MOH ACTORS? I am. But hey, it's WETA.. so......

I notice when you do robes or trail off those legs, you tend to make them swing backwards, as if the guy was humping something in front and his legs were in the way. Cos nobody stands pensively like that I think. head somewhat large, but somehow it all fits due to the some what stylised way the arms are. It's like some.... tarot card wood engraving art or something. But looking at it in a purely anatomical sense (not that it's any good) your head is too large, your arms are too big for torso, and he sure must be in some surprise (which his eyes do not betray, not his expression which seems to be some morose grin) for him to twist his wrist so. It's possible, but... most people don't do it, the same way learning yoga to suck your own... nevermind.

the belt or whatever seems to be lacking some detail... looks flat. And appears as if his stomach is sticking over the belt like some flab... dunno why.Are those earrings or does he have hair?

I'll be tweaking my character as befits a team which has worked together before AND has continued to ask me along for some reason or another other than my crying games.

that being said: PEOPLE OWE ME MONEY FOR COMICS!!!!

And I believe you mean you'd rather have your bioware/black isle. Interplay is just the publisher, the same way you don't blame sierra for screwing up Arcanum (but you can blame them for the first demise of the adventure genre).

somehow my misconception of a preconception that ad&d had mana... was there ever since the first baldur's gate, my first taste of ad&d.

By everybody's favourite company, of Arcanum fame, Troika.

which also seems weird, but AD&D doesn't have mana ah? I always thought it did.

pete: any news on what the 2 latin words I asked you about? I know they end with "men" or "mens". Or have we all forgotten? Anyway the word is in the book i lent to wwl... ah... nehmind.

and... if going to australia is liable to kill you due to the spectre of the sars virus hanging over it's golden shores, what about malaysia? just a thought. maybe having parent around makes you instantly immune to anything. except birth defects and/or heartbreak and/or antsyness.

anyway... what's
"jeg går jeg har sravtr?
du er sød"

the closest i got to it was
"i goes i've sravtr? you are sød"

it;s danish or something.

yes, we've been hacked.

no, no data was lost.

yes, it was evil.

apparently this group perfect BR has been going around hacking stuff... and... yeah. my favourite adventure game review site apparently got hit by these "brazilian ankle biters" if what i presume (which is it's the same guys) is right.

do a search of perfect BR on google or whatever, you'll find quite a lot of sites who got hit.

anyway it's all been fixed. they renamed index* to index*.bak and then put their own file there, so some hours were spent this morning fixing it. delete and rename.
i.e. they renamed indexold.htm to indexold.htm.bak and put their own indexold.htm there.

hope things are ok...

Has it been hacked? Perfect BR, or whatever it is, doesn't seem to be the doings of the dH people.

I like the eyes, actually. =)

And yes, I think it would be ALL good, if not for the fact that she should, well... have a chest.
posted by Petey at 6/06/2003 01:04:00 AM

the eyes look better, but i don't like the way they give all your characters a look of a heavy need of sleep or mascara/goth experiment gone wrong.

1) no feet.
2) i like the face, i think it works very well.
3) once again, i'll take this as a very effeme guy. since the lack of breasts. very big hips though.
4) you needto work on the right arm. it looks contorted or misshapen or missized. I think you're doing somesort of foreshadowing or stuff, but it doesn;t work as the elbow is a planar joint and the upper arm looks like it's being helf very close to the body, thus him having to contort so as to point the knife somewhat towards our direction.
5) the left hand therefore looks wimpy in comparison, and at the same time, is the index finger too short, or is the thumb too large?
6) if those aren't antigrave hips or pants, what are they? for the life of me i cannot see how the pants stand up, and the need for drawstrings except for a very odd and pointless fashion statement.
7) where is the blade hanging? on the antigrav buttocks?
8) i like it's look tho.... i wan....

Both of you fell sick? Guess I was lucky not to exert myself physically.

1) sounds like sarcastism
2) that is not a very good brand.
3) 15"??? only? you're better off sticking with your good old 17" crt or upping to 19" cos you the artist.

4) I'll be in the north tomorrow. from morning till night doing stupid things at a fren's place. So... if wwl need be getting comics of some sort, drop line. please contact me?
