[Atama]

Gads, this is Addreama? Oh boy... no wonder Charmiam gets jealous. http://www.skotos.net/ubb/smile.gif

Nice pic... hair color is a bit off, but other than that, looks good. Hehe, should have figured you'd pick something by Olivia... http://www.skotos.net/ubb/biggrin.gif

[Noddy]

My charater will be in love. What a gorgeous image!

Noddi, is most taken.

[Addreama]

Ok, i am finding tons of images that may fit your many characters..what i want is to post the pics on my site on a new page, and you all to email me (first come first serve ) for specific images to be named for your character..
i will be giving credit to each artist, so they get their dues..
and i am even adding the kitties!
(maybe i can find some rats next, hehe) http://www.skotos.net/ubb/wink.gif

Your site in some areas (notibly the Friends and Foes page)takes quite awhile to fully load.
This maybe due to the images. GIF's load better than JPEG's, especially at 72dpi, and then there's the image size--especially if you have them set as thumbnails.
But it's a lot better than what I can ever do. I'm dying to post my GOLD DIGGER fan-fiction, but just can't grasp the dynamics of Web Page Building.

[Addreama]

Darren,go to Tripod.com join,and use their web builder..i don't know Html to save my lfe, but it uses templates and such. if those choices are not good, try treeway.com
right now they are upgrading to a newer format, but trust me they have an amazing amout of templates to use for creating pages that look like you know what you are doing..
the reason i chose tripod though is because unlimited adding of pictures, whereas treeway only allows a set number per page and maximum pages limited to 30

[Addreama]

Doh, i feel like an idiot for forgetting this, but i will be removing unused images by the end of the week coming..so unless i really really think i need to choose an image for some one,(Say Hetchel or even Lord Chamberlain) for me to use as a 'candid' shot
then the other images will be removed save for what people have either requested OR sent to me to put up (my email is unlimited on size so please send an image if you prefer, just remember no "Photographs" will be used)thanks everyone..
Come on Corporal, i think that pic of that dark haired man with the two women would be terrific for you, and the one of that cutie man all clean cut with the mars sphere floating would be awesome for Philo..hehehe..anyone else have any suggestions as to who should be who?
i kinda see charmiam as that one pic, the lady with long grey-silver hair with flowers about..(when she grows it back out,that is!)

Oddly enough, that's the one I thought looked most like my conception of Philo (if Philo were to shave, and live in a sci-fi setting, that is).

The one you think would work for Petris, however, looks more like an Edouard to me.

--Monkey (aka Philo)

[Addreama]

ok,so excepting the weird background, would that image be acceptable for you,Philo?
hehe, i have not seen Eduardo around but once, maybe i will add his name to it,what do you think?

God, did i pick the right one? LOL
and i went ahead and Gave Edouard the one image. Zero i just looked for some one that looked "hero-y" for ya..now that i see Edouard though, i kinda hope he comes back soon! *wink* Definately looks like a Duellist.
Zai,hon, give me a quote to use for you,as can any of you with pics, since i sorta took the liberty to do so for now.(although i am partial to my Retri and Philo ones) http://www.skotos.net/ubb/biggrin.gif

[Hannah]

I really like the pic of Sin and Hannah, it fits them well. Sin with his typical smirk and HAnnah looking kinda sad with her brother, who has changed so much. I like it!

~Hannah~

[Atama]

Might wanna mention this is a pic of Zero in his previous life as a General of Crete. He doesn't look exactly like this anymore... http://www.skotos.net/ubb/wink.gif

(On the other hand, I'm gonna have Zero wear a red cloak from now on.)

[Addreama]

ok ok ok,Zero..i made a notation stating that poetic license has been taken and these images are not what the players want their character/s "seen" as, but merely a faint idea of how i will see them.
and all are MORE than welcome to email me an image to be used for them,as long as they are fantasy/painting type images

[Atama]

The picture you suggested for Zero looks exactly as he would have looked as a general on Crete (the background looks like Crete too). He's cut his hair and grown a beard since then, though. http://www.skotos.net/ubb/biggrin.gif

BTW, I love R.A. Salvatore, and the Crimson Shadow series (this is off the cover of book one, the Sword of Bedwyr).

[Sin]

I think the picture from the Faces of Friends and Foes, the second one from the bottom (the one with Raistlin holding the girl) looks EXACTLY like Sinistrelle and his sister Hannah. It has Sin's silver hair and black robe, and the woman has Hannah's long, curly dark brown hair.

[Artegal]

Hi, Addreama--great site! I looked through the pictures, and the closest I could find to Watchman Artegal was brom.jpg. It's the right look, but must have been during his life on the plains, since his hair is a lot longer than it is now. The fellow pictured is also too tan to really be Artegal, though it could be the light.

[Atama]

Heya, from personal experience, when I was working as a landscaper 40 hours a week a couple years ago in the summer, my skin turned REALLY dark. To look at me now, you'd never know that. So, it wouldn't be unusual for Artegal to be paler in the cold winter of the castle than he was on the sunny plains. http://www.skotos.net/ubb/smile.gif

[Addreama]

Artegal, i have added some new pics, and deleted (off the page only) some of the pics i thought were not going over well.
all you gotta do is catch me ,hannah or Zero and let us know which pic you want (a brief description helps! *wink*)

[Addreama]

First, my many thanks to skotos for posting my page with the others. It is great to see that we all work together....
big happy grins to Zero for doing all the resizing and also searching for some of the people too..and hannah and all you many others for dishing out the URL.
in the three or less weeks i have been here you all have made me feel like i truely belong to the family of the castle.I love all the interactions. (((((BIG hug))))) to you all!!

[Hannah]

I want to give a really big warm and fuzzy hug to Sera Addreama for providing all of us with her webspace, and Ser Zero for helping so many collect pictures of all of us. You two are absloutely great. I just want to make sure your hard work doesn't go unnoticed!

~Hannah~

[Lucas]

Ack! *That's* Addreama? She's been flirting with Lucas, and he's *resisting*?! He must have a true will of iron - either that, or he's afraid Catharsis will beat him up.

I'm looking around for a good picture, I'll let you know when I find one. Some of the ones on the site are close, but not quite.

[stealthkat]

If you want, I can make thumbnails of the pictures for you. I believe someone mentioned earlier in this thread that it would load faster...it would certainly be more user friendly. My little 40 bps dial-up connection at home choked on loading many of the pics.

Send me an email if you want me to do a sample picture for you. I'm at stealthkat@magicaldesk.com.

Kathy

[Kiera]

Let me add my thanks to you, Addreama, for your great site! It's just beautiful! And thanks for picking the picture I thought was closest to Kiera. http://www.skotos.net/ubb/smile.gif

Besides being a beautiful picture, it shows the dichotomy in her personality as well as something from her past that very few people know of.

Thanks again!

Patrice aka Kiera

[andriss]

Wow! The page looks great!

I agree with the plaintive call for thumbnails. It would be nice to have a single page of thumbnails/snapshots for quick reference while playing...

And I apologize for my redundancy on other threads, offering to do what Addreama has already done so well. I'm just gonna go curl up under my desk and suck my thumb, now.

No, I'm not jealous. I swear. http://www.skotos.net/ubb/wink.gif

Thanks again, Addreama! Good job!

JM (aka Chavelle)

[Addreama]

ok, i understand the need for the thumnail site
but
i know jack all about that..and when i tried to turn the images into thumbnail on my site they all seemed to stay tiny,with no way to view the larger images
maybe i messed up some how..hmmm
anyways. if anyone wants to start taking the images and make a thumbnail site, please do,,i would do it but for two things..
1) i am already spending soooo much time searching for images i don't have time to play like i want to..and THAT stinks!
2) as i said i know nothing about html..
anyone wanna help me out here with a thumbnail linked page?
thank you all so much for the kind words..it is only because you all are involved that this has been as fun and successful as it has been..so..(((HUGGLES))) to you all

[Atama]

Well, since Andriss has already started to, why can't she make the thumbnails to link to your site? Sounds like you both win then.

[andriss]

Disclaimer: My boss is recovering from jetlag and I'm very very bored at my office.

That said, I blatantly pinched the art from Addreama's very cool site, made thumbnails, and posted them up on my site. Honestly, I'm just keeping the site for my own use, now, since Addreama's already done such a good job. But, if y'all want to see a full page of little character pictures, hike over to: http://www.skaro.com/write/marrach/residents.html

Addreama, of course, is welcome to pinch the thumbnails back. Just keep in mind that the filenames will *not* match those used in Addreama's gallery.

Well, duh, now that I think of it, *anyone* can pinch the thumbnails. http://www.skotos.net/ubb/smile.gif Just don't forget to give credit to the original artists.

-- JM (aka Chavelle)

[stealthkat]

Sorry guys, but when I mentioned thumbnails, I didn't mean for them to be put on separate sites. At the risk of restating the obvious, the thumbnail image would download, and the image would have an <a href> tag associated with it linking the thumbnail to the larger image.

In other words, I go to addreama's site, look at one of her pages, it downloads nice and quick 'cause it's just got small images on it. This particular visit I want to look at what Philo's character sorta looks like again, so I click on the thumbnail representing Philo and my browser takes me to a new page showing a single large image of the picture.

Again, contact me at my email if you need some help with this.

Kathy

[andriss]

I understand what you wanted, Kathy, and, heck, I'm all for it. I just coded up my 'seperate directory' for my own personal use - as it says on the page.

I'm linking to Addreama because she's the one who did all the work in finding the art in the first place and that deserves mucho benes.

That said, I'm willing to prepare a modified version of that thumbnail page and give it to Addreama to upload to her own site. She's having some trouble with Tripod, apparently, but I'm *quite* used to coaxing decent service out of that particular entity. http://www.skotos.net/ubb/wink.gif

Watch this space for further developments! http://www.skotos.net/ubb/wink.gif

[andriss]

Good news!

The as-requested thumbnail-to-larger-originals page has been established on Addreama's site
http://addreama.tripod.com/MarrachFantasy/thumbnail_dir.html

Now, it's rough in that Addreama has to go in and code in any extra content she wants, but the links all work and (crossed fingers) I don't think I got anyone's name incorrect.

As usual, any mistakes on that page are mine - if you find any, drop a line to johanna@skaro.com - and the credit should go to Addreama for putting up with me, and putting together the site as it stands. http://www.skotos.net/ubb/smile.gif

--JM (Chavelle)

[Addreama]

Kudos to Chav's hard work with me on this..she has did awesome (and yeah,we know a few pics are switched, we'll get them fixed soon,we promise)
I curtsey deeply to your kindness,Chav.
it looks great.
If Chav will accept she will be Mistressing the site with me..she is alot better at the fancy stuff than i am..so i will go now and root around in the surf for more stuff while she does the polishing junk..HeHe..
P.S..me and zero are having a hard time finding dungeon stuff..and i myself would love more fencing stuff(suitable for the site)if anyone stumbles across some images,please email them to Zero,Hannah,Chav or me,thanks bunches!

[andriss]

Further news:

Addreama's own "Castle Denizens" page has been overhauled, so all character thumbnails are now there. So, feel free to ignore that other URL I gave ya (it's good, but why bookmark another URL when you can use the old one)
http://addreama.tripod.com/MarrachFantasy/id8.html

[Faith]

You guys made a BOOBOO!!!!!!
Charmiam is supposed to be Charm! I helped Charm's OOC <Chloe> send the picture to Addreama...CHARMIAM IS SUPPOSED TO BE CHARM!!!!!

People always confuse Charmiam and Charm! http://www.skotos.net/ubb/biggrin.gif

Caroline *Faith*

[andriss]

Charmiam is supposed to be Charm! I helped Charm's OOC <Chloe> send the picture to Addreama...CHARMIAM IS SUPPOSED TO BE CHARM!

Do me a favor and reload the page and double check. Addreama corrected me once, the other way around, and I reloaded the page - possibly after you saw the booboo. I'll be most vexed if it turns out I had it right the first time. http://www.skotos.net/ubb/smile.gif

This is the disadvantage of my not being entirely familiar with the PCs. http://www.skotos.net/ubb/wink.gif

If the mistake is still there - drop a quiet line to johanna@skaro.com and I shall revamp the page accordingly.

--JM (aka Chavelle)

[Atama]

The mistake is still there. The thumbnail of Charmiam is really Charm... Charmiam has short, black/grey hair. It was correct in the past.

[Addreama]

give us a little time guys
we are working hand in hand and stuff gets confusing at times
*Wink*
but when we are done it should be awesome
thanks for the patience

[Atama]

Addreama, lemme tell you, it already is awesome. http://www.skotos.net/ubb/biggrin.gif
