 Re: Just a little question
Posted by Kanniball on Sat Dec 4th at 8:46pm 2004

I've looked around at this forum and as far as I understand there are some very good artist's here who posts very good feedback. I've never shown my pictures to anyone but my friends before but now I want to become better, like you guys

So here's my question: How do you load up an image?

Go to www.imageshack.us. It's fairly obvious what you have to do, but just shout if you get into difficulty.

Some images in this post have been automatically down-sized, click on them to view the full sized versions:

That works fine, but the file size is a little large. xat.com has a good image compressor.



Use the [img*] and [/img*] tags without the stars to display an image on the forums.

Your spelling is fine, especially considering you're from Sweeden. You can compress an image a certain amount before you notice any difference in quality. It's up to you to find a balance.

To display your image like I did, as opposed to linking to it, just type the address like this: [img*]http://img108.exs.cx/img108/8522/8e44WolfRider.jpg[/img*] . Leave out the stars though, I just put them there to stop the image displaying.

He means head over to xat.com and download their image compressor - it reduces the file size of the image so people can view it quicker (especially people on low speed net connections). It may make the image a bit uglier, but its fairly efficient and doesn't lower quality too much. You have control over how much compression to do, so you can balance quality and file size yourself.

As for the latter part, he was saying how to display the image directly on the page rather than just put up a link. So for that image you would put [img*]http://img108.exs.cx/img108/8522/8e44WolfRider.jpg[/img*] into your post, minus the *'s.

Nice picture by the way, all I can think to comment on is the poses of the orc thing on the right looks a bit unnatural to me, he is hunching his arms a bit much or something.

follow this link to XAT's newest version.

it is phenomenal in its efficiency and quality. as 2knifes said, you can chose the limits of compression.. most retain perfect quality at 70% (the default setting)

So you only have to lower it to 70%, then it's ok?

what you need to decide is, how much abuse you can handle.

we like images at less than 100k and 800x600.. we prefer them at less than 75k, we will sing songs of praise to your progeny if you keep them at less than 50k.

you decide whats best for you.

Ok, thx. Anything else exept for the "hunching" orc?

My friend didn't like the cheekbone on the closets orc (left)...
And by the way, he thought that the same orc should have a sort of helmet. What do you guys think?

Now you mention it, that cheekbone could use improvement. It looks too sharp at the moment, jumping from highlight straight to shadow and suggesting it is a 90 degree edge or something. Put a more intermediate tone between the two perhaps, might make it look more natural.

Whether or not the orc has a helmet is more of a character design issue - if you feel you want that character to have a helment then add it, otherwise don't. I think it looks fine without to be honest, but if done well a helmet could work too

Ok, thx.

I think the picture would be nicer if there was a background. It's just that, the orcs "are on" the white background so it would be very hard not to f**k things up
