[quote name='pamplemousse' timestamp='1287600156' post='70688'] I will send you the details. Thank you, Huckleberry. *edit* I am informed you cannot receive any new messages. [/quote] There I fixed it!

I'm your huckleberry

[quote name='Shadowseeker' timestamp='1287277447' post='70484'] I find it more surprising there was even a stir from Glor... [/quote] Ah, Shadow, you'll find I'm like Herpes. I disappear... you may even think I'm gone for good, but from time to time I'll show up to brighten somebody's day.

[quote name='Rask' timestamp='1287215249' post='70358'] Thank you for the blessings. If all goes well, I shall arrive at the Howling Gates by morning. Then the carving begins. [/quote] Ha... you mistake my meaning young one. I meant no blessings upon you, only an observation. I mean to oppose your ascent as I did your father's. You'll have to get creative if you mean to take up his mantle... I know his old tricks and I have no need to keep your secrets as I kept his.

So, the great power of the desert went and produced an heir. I find that somewhat unlikely... by the time he had assembled his harem he was as much liquid dust as he was a man. Such a thing being capable of reproduction is an abomination. However, if you are what you claim to be, young Rask, then I have little doubt that you will carve out your own throne much as your villainous father did, or lose yourself trying. The sentinels have put on a mask of civility, but civility is not the true nature of the desert. Your father understood this even if the current claimants to his legacy have forgotten the truth. Necrovion is only open to them because of Khalazdad's will to power and his willingness to sacrifice everything for it. If you are cut from the same cloth, you'll find your throne. Just do not be too bitter if it is not what you expected.

Here's the thought... You find a cartoon or photo somewhere that describes one of the people you know here in MD, post it and give us all a good laugh. I found this at 8-Bit Theater. The king / sno-cone vendor is definitely our own king / adlepated philosopher. [img]http://www.nuklearpower.com/comics/8-bit-theater/091219.png[/img]

This is completely off topic and pointless, but I thought those of you that want to kill bunnies might appreciate it. [url="http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/374337"]Bunny Game![/url]

A couple of points: 1) I left Poppitz in because only a few of his pieces looked copied, we talked about it, and he was not going to do that again. I sent in the work as part of the avatar bounty as examples of his work. As I understood it, entrants were to send in 10 pieces, even if all 10 of them don't work, they were to be sent in. Fenrir was a different case. All of his work was directly stolen. Poppitz just drew by hand from examples on the internet. Fenrir was also unable to demonstrate an ability to draw his own work. 2.) Burns and Poppitz' avatars are some that I sent in for fun last Halloween (A year ago)and told Mur and everyone on the forums that they were Freddy and Jason. I even named them that, Freddy.jpg and Jason.jpg, when I sent them in. I also sent in an image of a spartan that I'd drawn from an image on the internet with that same batch. Someone pointed out the copyright issues involved, which I hadn't thought about and I haven't done it since. 3.) People leave messages on the Forum all the time, some with decent artwork, but it stated clearly that they were supposed to send email to glordamar@gmail.com. There was also a period of time where I couldn't check the forums daily or even much more than weekly and I know I missed a few people. I'm sorry for that, but many of those that I did contact were either unable to continually produce high-quality art due to talent or equipment (scanner, etc.) or couldn't seem to grasp the requirements for artwork submission. I had a lot of trouble finding people who were both talented and able to do the job. If there are others that I can think of I'll put them up too.

[quote name='Yoshi' date='24 September 2009 - 03:49 PM' timestamp='1253832573' post='42582'] Yeah I got bored today so I decided to draw my favourite character ever:Yoshi(big surprise ) Now, bear in mind I have never really drawn anything except for cubes,shapes,and random line designs. So yeah, any thoughts/comments/whatever on it would be great. Hope you like it ^^ PS.If I enhanced this drawing to make it MD acceptable would I be able to use it as my own? PPS.Its huge... and I can't use the full editor to replace it with a smaller version >.< [/quote] Technically it's not too bad, but being a highly recognizable character it borders on being a copyright issue. As it's your own drawing and not copied from something... I'm not sure. I'd say to avoid drawing recognizable characters as they could be a problem and they're not generally what MD is about. As far as using it for your own Avatar, even if it was acceptable from a subject matter standpoint, it would have to go into the shop and you'd have to buy it before someone else got it. Drawing your own avatar, or custom avatars for others, is something that can't be done at this point. Try your hand at some other things. I'd be interested to see what you come up with.

The email address to send to is: glordamar@gmail.com I'm sorry I haven't posted anything about this in awhile, but I've had some things I've had to deal with. I hope you'll all forgive me for it. I have had many entries, some very good, most quite interesting... I'll be sending in samples of everything I have to Mur, but I'll be stripping it down to just the acceptable ones. If any of your avatars are accepted, you will receive a payment in credits for those avatars. Anyone that produces consistent, strong avatars, where somewhere around 8 or more of their avatars are usable in terms of quality, will be considered for membership in the Artisan's Guild.

[quote name='dst' date='08 July 2009 - 03:40 PM' timestamp='1247092838' post='36592'] Done some tests. Here is one of the results: Venger's Pimped Grasan does haoticdamage to multirandom creature(s) of .GlorDamar. and: - hits haoticaly and does 14816284 damage to Elemental II creature DIES! - hits haoticaly and does 11706749 damage to Animated Tree II creature DIES! I will do more. And sorry to the ones that had to endure my attacks... [/quote] DAMN YOU! Guess that's what I get for being the king of idle.

They are all technically very good. The two hands, the weapons and the like, as fenrir said, are not appropriate for avatars, but the rest work pretty well. The style's not exactly typical of the game, but I like them.
