Re: Lost & Found

My bet is that you would be looking for story "Magic Gate", unfortunately the last time the story was updated was somewhere in 2001 or 2000. There's only fourteen chapters of it at the moment. I followed the development of this story from the very start. It took him some two or three years...

Re: Wow! The board is up to 250 reg. members

Leaps and bounds? I must confess that I haven't kept up with the board member joining speed. Are we expanding in logarithmic or linear scale? ;D

Re: Fan art? Should I? Maybe not.

Okay, so I'll ask the question everyone is wanted to know the answer to... When do you think you might have something for us to look at?  A week?  A month? impatient MommyDoom Umm... I'd say week, but I am not sure. I am not too hot on sketches, and the biggest problem for me is to do the initial s...

Re: Fan art? Should I? Maybe not.

Question. If he has fletlocks... I understand the borders of his fur go upwards knees, and upwards from elbow? And those borders have fletlocks? Ouch. It'll pronounce the border of the fur and trying to make it look 'cooler' than without them isn't going to be any easier. Question. What the hell he ...

Re: In Effort To Stay Active: Average Art #1

Well, I am a bit depressing and spooky when it comes to my art. I also tend to do very stylized and iconic pictures with a lot of symbolism. It's almost a design process when I do pictures, as opposed to drawing sketches. Ah well. Another one, this is my third try with Painter 9, and it's also a rem...

Re: Fan art? Should I? Maybe not.

Hmm, you're right that height doesn't matter unless I include other people in the picture. The odds of me doing fan-art of multiple persons are approaching infinity. But, those descriptions actually help me a lot. The description of Jesmind was useful (in addition of the description of Tarrin). Now,...

Fan art? Should I? Maybe not.

Being the only board member who has confessed his/hers illusions about being able to paint. I happened to read the hatten_jc:s suggestion about doing fan art... Well, I have been thinking about it for few months. But... first of all, I am not sure if it's good idea. People have different images of w...

In Effort To Stay Active: Average Art #1

Hello y'all. I checked out the old board messages and started thinking... Considering that I've been around since the first WWWboard, and taking in account my current post-count, one can deduct that I'm not doing my best when it comes to keeping this board active. So, to add my little load to the pi...

Re: Anyone know a Martial Art?

Good Topic, I have been studying Taekwondo for 12 years now and I hold a 3rd dan in Taekwondo. I also hold a 1st dan in Haidong Gumdo, which is the sword art of korea. After reading some replies about how the katana can't cut through bone I will have to disagree highly. In the study of Gumdo or Ken...

Re: Anymore?

OK, so I'm insane for saying that.  I still enjoy the stories though. LOL I am ashamed to admit. I've read all fantasy books that David Eddings has written. I've actually read some of them multiple times.... shudder... and... I think I enjoyed them. Only sometimes! Really! Just some small parts! It...

Re: Anymore?

My (highly qualified and of utmost interest to all parties involved, I am sure) opinion in this matter is that Jordan and Modesitt have same problem. They want to avoid coming across as chauvinists (which these days seems to be very easy to be labeled as) so they make strong female characters. Somet...

Re: Sennadar.com

Tricky, since the site would be accomodating the dark fantasy of the Sennadar world, the science fiction of Subjugation, etc.  Maybe have a basic "overarching" theme, professional but neutral, that allows for custom secondary elements keyed to each story. Not all that tricky... well, at l...

1 - The stories, perhaps some "news" page. Summary of books, ect... 2 - Simplistic, although website without graphics is naked. Especially story website. 3 - Art gallery I would seem rather useless (then again, all I am interested is the story. Not fanart). A map of the world would be inte...

Re: Funny moments in Firestaff History

Unfortunately my sense of humor is too dry for me to get much of laugh out from Firestaff. However, I did laugh out loud when I read somewhere in the Sword of Fire (perhaps chapter 6 or around there? I don't remember) when Tarrin was being pensive (business as usual) and there was sentence that read...
