Title: My drawings
Post by: Hole in Head on February 22, 2002, 05:20:01 pm

I've set up a little site with a bunch of my drawings of various jets/ships that I thought up.

edit: oops, i guess i cant post images

All the drawings can be found here (http://darklegacy.topcities.com/drawings.htm)

Title: Good pictures, not-so-good website
Post by: WMCoolmon on February 22, 2002, 08:40:33 pm

Good drawings, but I've got some suggestions for the web site:
1) Create smaller thumbnail pictures; this can be done using paint's stretch/skew function; find a good size for the pictures and resize them all to be similar in size. Cropping them would also help.Once you have the thumbnail pictures, save them with different names than the big pictures.
2) Use a different web page creator; Frontpage express perhaps? Either that or you could learn HTML; it's fairly easy to learn. Regardless, use something different than Microsoft Word... it creates HUGE web sites that take a while to load and use funky code...
Otherwise, I'd love to see someone model these :yes: :nod:

Those are indeed, pretty cool.. :)

PS. Coolmon's right, Word can produce very funky code for its web pages... :rolleyes:

I'd love to use something else to create web pages.  Unfortunately, word is the best and easiest way for me.  I'd like to learn HTML, but currently don't have the means to do so.  

Thx for the suggestions, and I'll probably crop them when I find time.

Ah ha!  I just used something called 1st page 2000 by Evrsoft to add the images and the page loads a LOT better now.  The images load about 10x faster.

Hey, nice pictures both of ya :).  From artist to another, you should try different angles, It looks as if you have the bird's eye down :) And since this seems to be an art convention, anyone who hasn't seen my art can go to the links on my signature. :D

The Freespace Comic book is coming...

I'd do different angles, but if I try to do something in let's say a perspective view, it looks like your looking at it with a fish eye lens.  Before I show off anything in a perspective view, I need to work on my skill first.

Thx fer the compliments though!
