Aylott

All normal here, too. Just DIRECTLY after the migration I failed a lot more often than before (more than twice as much for a while). Same happened after the last update as well, though. And no I don't think I was "seeing things". So maybe there is some phenomenon occurring for a while after server restarts? Dunno ...

Thanks for the comments everybody =) Looking forward to more images. Maybe the Mods should announce this more often? Haven't seen a link to this thread yet ... Btw. there are some people waiting to be accepted to post on the forums. Is there something we can tell them? May they use #help_me to speed up the process ... or PM a Mod/Admin ingame? Would be a shame if that messed up their chance to enter/win the contest ... Wow at the updates ... Jaxbot yay for perspective! Way to go ... shading with digital media is NOT easy ... good job. Cool one @ peterpan, too. Really captures the EL feel. Great colors. Gretha: just had to do a pencil drawing after your update ... it really itched! I updated my other post (middleish on page 5)

Thanks for the comments guys! Wow Earl. Really cool! The background adds so much to the char alone. Are you an artist? The way you do the shading and the palette look professional IMO. And yes ... who is that meanie?? Had to try paint too after that pic. It was fun ... didn't think it would be! Guess where this takes place ... [edit]Put the image in the other post ... a few posts above this one[/edit]

So many great entries. Woah! Gretha's is amazing. Usually I shouldn't have worked on the concept further. Rendering it to death won't make the concept any better ... still all the other ideas I had are more appropriate for comics. Not for portraits. I just can't seem to get texture and details right. Still I'm pretty happy. Turned out more colorful this time. I am always afraid of comments ... but yes I think I want to hear them if anybody has the time. Used Gimp/mouse ... used Paint/mouse ... used a pencil and colored it in The Gimp with a mouse again ... the pure-pencil-piece ... Pencil Version Link

Great framework. It is easier for me to work with that than with C. I have not quite figured out one thing though. On the new test server shutting down the bot with #die does not work properly any more. The program is shut down (console window disappears) but the bot stays until he gets eaten by a grue. I don't think I have changed anything that could cause this ... any idea where I have to look to fix this? If I shut down the program by closing the console window the bot is gone instantly btw. So I guess something is not sent to the server by just running Disconnect(). Any ideas?

Been playing with a few ideas. Is it allowed to post sketches or just the finished image? Can't even promise I have the time to finish it. It is not a stick figure btw. Aylott is just real slim ...

Gives us the chance to work on our character portraits at least ...

No warnings any more until that warning system is built I guess :-P

Can't agree that is was 100% fun for a 27/27 noob. After some wolves and spiders there was always a panther or feran or something like that that spoiled the fun. But 95% of it was fun (Got a racoon fur!)
