I thought it was so people who don't own the character could suggest their own portrait references?

Lee hit it on the nose. It's for people like me who might need a quick portrait of the character visually and conceptually for, say, illustration or writing purposes. As he said, I don't have a lot of time to really study the backlog (I'm still only halfway through OT) cause school and all

ok so due to me slightly shifting gears here and making this into more of an Art Archive, because nostalgia is a hell of a drug, I've been digging up old Snitz-era artifacts to toss in here for historians' sake. so for your enjoyment: MARGIN WARNING this is the original Hector drawing (from May 2004!!) another bad Hector drawing from 2004, i'm a little miffed at photobucket for resizing some of these files. hey have I mentioned how fucking shitty photobucket is and how yall should switch to some kinda better alternative one of my old sprite banners from the Snitz era another banner oh my god the ship as old as time some assorted Hector sprites of mine along with a Yoshi sprite I did where he looks buffer than he has any right looking ETA: BONUS Ivan sprite from days long past, the one I borrowed the fluffy hair from to draw the reboot portrait: (and you better believe that starry sky on the inside of the cloak is still canon)

yo AngelicTragedy by the way in that group banner I'm pretty sure that's Nadeshi on the far right... idk thought I'd tell you since only you and I and maybe Lee still care about Nadeshi in any capacity

I swear on my life there was a drawing too! Like I can picture it in my head, there was tousled purple hair and iridescent dragon armor and a staff with a dragon claw clutching an orb at the end of it??? But it's not in my photobucket, what the fuck dude

Silly question- Do cosplay photos count for this? Iron Mouse did a really good Rie at one point. And I know a dead ringer couple for Helen and Rhys that want to cosplay them.
I think we might limit it to like 3 images per cosplayer tho', just cause it lends itself so well to shooting a million pics.

I was looking to see if I'd ever drawn Ivan before for another improvement post, but all I could find was...this thing...which I don't even think was finished. also it's so bad

Feature time! I found one more Lee banner in the set he made for the Summoner/Cherrygrove fight: I'm glad I did, because I've been trying to isolate those sprites using the other two banners in the set, where they don't pop against the background very well. This one, however, is perfect, and I managed to isolate some sprites of Lee's that have been lost to time, including the only extant Snitz-era Thyra sprite: Why the fuck do old Zeb sprites look so much like Weevil?

hey folks, it's been a while. I dug up some scans I made for sketches I got during the annual MCAD art sale, and I found the Halley that my colleague Rose/Ross drew as part of an OC swap. I'm going to look into acquiring more ORP art from non-Exodites either through commission or art trade, just for a little variety for the ol' Flickr

so touching on the point I made in that last post, I was thinking it would be kind of cool if, once a month or so, we all kind of banded some cash together to commission an artist for a portrait of a character? it makes me kind of sad that we have like three or four artists left on the Exodus, with myself being the only one regularly churning out art. gets kind of boring using the Flickr as pretty much just my own personal image hosting site, so what do yall think? as for the list we use, I don't know, I'm sure we can use the current Illustrated list as some sort of basis, or start a new list from scratch. a colleague of mine by the name of Trungles does some really beautiful work, I would love to commission him for our first round. Not sure exactly what character he should do, though. Illiana? Vathalé? Vieve? Helen??? Garth? ?? I'm not sure if Christy Lijewski even still takes commissions or not, but if she does I am absolutely commissioning her for a sick Yoshimitsu. Or any Elliot character really, a Lijewski Kilik would be just as sick.

Wow, that resemblance is uncanny. It's gonna bug me. You know when you re-read a thread and stumble on those puns that you can weren't expecting the first time but had forgotten about so you can appreciate them all over again? Yeah.

Hello friends, for those who haven't heard yet, Photobucket has recently made the decision to pour some gasoline on their raging tire fire of a website and is now charging $400/yr for the "privilege" of posting your images to 3rd party websites; i.e. you know, that thing you got to do for free for 10+ years.
As you may or may not have noticed, this fiasco has broken quite a few images in our archives and maybe even in your very signature, so I would like to take this time to tell you that if you haven't already, now's as good a time as ever to dig through your Photobucket album, download what you want to salvage, and send me anything that isn't already in the Flickr archive.
Thank you. This has been another Archipelago Exodus Public Service Announcement™
