My characters (please excuse the bad style)

Alright... Paint's all I have to work with, so... here goes.

This is Carobrite (name pending...), a NoctoScrab (you should be able to figure out what that is). She'll be in some upcoming fics.

Feel free to re-draw...

This is my RPG character (I'll get her on the forums as soon as I create a personality.), Melinda, an ElectraSlig (Slig that can sense and use electricity).

Sylvia · #5 03-04-2002, 06:26 PM

Sorry about the trouble with the pictures, Majic_Abe. I had to keep trying with my Melinda and Sylvia pics. It took about three tries each, so you're not alone. I'm sure it happens to everybody.

Majic · #6 03-05-2002, 12:47 AM

ive got the basic modling done for the scrab, im sight-copying the pose from oddwprld.com, but im gonna do all the coloring the same and such.....the slig should be easier, i can do that becuase pretty much i know the regular way to draw it and stuff, im not that falmiliar with scrabs and paramites....

EDIT

and of course im putting in the eyes, silly me i can just redo that part.

EDIT

k muahaha, i have them all done. i think ill attempt to get the stuff up again, ill combine it all into one topic. if i get them up, odnt complain if there bad, i rushed the stuff. but dont get any ideas about my hand drawing, im like at least twice as good at paint.

EDIT i got it done, uploaded, all the stuff. full url copied, i see what you meant rachel, i wasnt getting the full url. lets see, work this time!

no-ho-ho-ho-ho....... im doomed to failure.....

You still don't seem to be getting the whole address, Majic... PI URLs are hideously long and you have to scroll down miles to get them. Sometimes it may look like you've got the whole URL but there's actually another line underneath that - and your picture won't work unless you have the filename on the end.

The URL you were using was:

http://photos.msn.com/imageserver/image.aspx? Image=*EtEZjHm6cp*ifUY4heUhNDTCReZW2eeSe!JsrY6QKf1jSwU!5ghlmbtQJm96i9RcY4p5IIuNAp5AZTepxhacyksYonZ3*< br/>plL*ayrC0gglQpjCVCdBDVVE15ynXNWhDS

There's a couple of things wrong with it: you didn't ought to have the < br/> tag in the middle of it - that's kind of a mutant html linebreak tag, I don't think URLs like those in the middle of them - and you need the actual filename on the end - I don't know, maybe you saved it as "carobrite.jpg" (I don't know which picture you're trying to post). I don't think the "Image=" should be in there, either.

As an example, this is the image URL of one of my PictureIt images:

http://content.communities.msn.co.uk/_Secure/0OQBYBtAURVnxao5LMLzJ*uv3papJRqj84p27lpzE7Ru87JPvTSI3yTsmSQThteEjiy!FGhpHuCNgSrnGkLgyjgv3qpk*85Md/fox_col_exp.gif

You should be looking for something similar to that for your picture to work. If you really have problems, you could send someone the address of the site you hosted the picture on and we can help you post it.

If all else fails you could just attach the picture, using the "attach file" function below. (I think that uploads direct from your harddrive, you don't actually need a webhost, but then maybe you knew that already? I don't know.)

Sylvia · #9 03-06-2002, 06:29 PM

Majic_Abe, I found your mistake. You must have been using the thumbnail URL. That doesn't work. You have to click on the thumbnail first, to get an enlarged picture, then right-click. That should be the correct URL. I hope this helps. I really want to see how you did it.

Sylvia · #11 03-06-2002, 10:20 PM

Woah... That's a lot better than when I draw it... I like the Scrab.

Sylvia · #12 03-22-2002, 06:38 PM

Yes, I dug this topic up, but I think it's worth it. This is Jennelle.

I'm experimenting with airbrush effects... what do you think?

dark_xinos · #13 03-23-2002, 12:02 PM

What does Jenelle do, then? (As an aside... another female? I thought we'd exhausted any possible reasons how sligs can be females, as OWI says all are male except Skillya... *hugs her reasons* They're mine, all mine, muahaha!)

For paint, it's not bad. (Paint is just evil). As a suggestion, how about blocking in where you want the shading to go with the line and fill tools, and then soften the edges with the airbrush?

Majic · #15 03-27-2002, 11:23 PM

Aha, something else....... I'm getting bored messing with Photo Shop Deluxe, back to good ol' paint.....
