[NIGHTBRINGER]

Concerning the Headers....where is that artwork from?! It's awesome! Where can I download those fullsize images for my desktop!??

One minor gripe, not a fan of the avatar of the thread creator in front of the thread title on the forum page. Is there a setting to alter this to some other icons?

I agree, the art work is simply superb! I'd love to get my hands on the full size images as well.

Agreed, that Scar-Vet Cowboy looks boss.

 

[Sleboda]

Holy crap this looks great!

Man, if Warhammer (or Lizardmen) goes away now, it would be effing tragic.

 

[Iskander]

I've been lurking since December, and just made an account to say how much I love the upgrade. Well done!!

 

[pendrake]

My Avatar looks as intended in the places where it displays unframed, not too bad in the thin frame next to the composition window, and crowded in the ornate frame next to completed posts.

Not sure how to fix it to work everywhere.

 

[NexS1]

I feel like a sheep following the flock, but congratulations on completing the work. Fantastic outcome!

 

[Mr Phat]

You guys are the best.
This is beyond gorgeous.

What are you worried about? Those feathers tickle my nose!

Fingers crossed for a n810 putting-a-border-around-an-existing-avatar instructional.

 

[Mr Phat]

Who did the shifting artwork of the banner?

Looks ridiculously good!

 

[Vinnie]

Hey, don't think I've ever actually posted in the very long time I've been lurking here, but I have to now

Stunning new site, guys and gals. Looking forward to posting some pics!

 

[GCPD]

Seriously, I'd love to get images of the new banners for wallpaper. Would it be possible to get these?

 

[The Red Devil]

Red Devil did the lion's share of the work. Good job. Not only did the transfer work without a hitch, but it was finished pretty quickly. Far less than 24 hours.

I cannot take all the credit, without the help of my team this would not have been possible (In addition to me, four of my staff has also worked on it).

We also have some other updates planned for the community, though they will need to wait until we have another dry period between projects.

On a side note can I get a copy of the image at the top for FB background? That's an amazing picture.

All of the artwork we are using that is Lustria themed has been created by a concept artist that work for me. This mean we are certain we will not receive any IP claims/issues for the graphics we use on the forum.

Unfortunately this also means we will not offer them for download or any other use outside of this forum at this time. We might do so in the future, but at this time I am unable to promise anything.

One minor gripe, not a fan of the avatar of the thread creator in front of the thread title on the forum page. Is there a setting to alter this to some other icons?

As far as I know, there is not a setting to turn those off. It is something we can look into adding with a future update, if this is something people wants.

Oh I was wondering what is the new native avatar resolution and image size (in KB)?

The forum actually use three sizes now, 192x192, 119x119 and 48x48. Though it automatically create these versions of the image added as an avatar.
To get the best result and avoid pixilation, the avatar image should be 192x192.

Not sure how to fix it to work everywhere.

I think that if you make the drawing slightly smaller, so it does not touch the frames it will look good in all three versions.

aaaand i seem to finally need a avatar picture. having none is not tolarable now with the new design...

Feel free to select one of the custom Lizardmen avatars we have created as your avatar. You can check them out by clicking on Avatar on your profile page. You can also upload your own if you want to.

Ps. oh I remembered I did some Skink emoticons a while back are you interested in adding them to the site smiles ?

This sounds interesting, assuming we do not run into any issues graphical wise with them. Though it will need to wait until next update, as right now we have our hands full with making certain everything function as expected with the forum software.

 

[NIGHTBRINGER]

Thanks for the info Red Devil and thank you to you and your team for all your hard work.

 

[n810]

found them...

Ps. did admin ever get anywhere with the SoB themed icons for the site ?

<- I also have these as individual files

and a few animated icons.

<- newer version

 

[Overlord of Serpents]

Well, Red Devil, please inform your artist I will glad pay for any copies of these images, his work is not only amazing, but it is easily the best Lizardmen work that exists on the web! I must have it!

 

[Rikard]

This update is nothing short of exceptional, I'm in awe of the amount of work that must have gone in, especially the amount of work your concept artist must have had to do as well.

Thank you to all involved so much!
