Activity #2 - 2d/Conceptual Design

Forum

Kudos to HazarD

Create a portrait of a Dungeons and Dragons and character. Think of Neverwinter Nights and the Baldurs Gate series for what you're aiming for.

You are pretty much free to do any kind of portrait you like, though I think it'll suit the topic better if you stick the the D&D theme.

For those of you with NWN, and would like to use their new piece of art in game, here is a how-too guide.

You need to change that NWN link, the following error is given if you click it.

"On every single HTML page of GameFAQs is the following request:
Feel free to link to this page, but not directly to the FAQs..
You're seeing this error message because it appears that you're linking from an external site directly to one of the text files stored at GameFAQs. GameFAQs is not a free public file server. Bandwidth costs money, and when sites link directly to files stored on the site, it becomes both a financial and resource drain. We've tried asking, but some sites simply don't care, so now we've implemented a technical solution.

It works if you copy paste it into your browser.

I realise that it would work if you put it into your browser, my point was more of along the lines of maybe we should honour the request of those hosting the article, paying for the bandwidth etc and link to the html.

It?s a courtesy thing.

Fair argument, but I think that restriction is aimed more at pictures etc, stuff that gets downloaded each time a page is viewed.

In a roundabout way, by posting the direct link to the tute, I am saving them bandwidth, people can get to it without going to the main page.

But, still, I'll take the first link down..

Dagnabbit! I just got NWN, I didn't know you could create custom portraits! [:(] Man I already started playing, I'm such a chump I'll prolly end up discarding my character to make one with my own portrait! I have to say theres nothing like playing with your own painted portrait! None of this running into a dude thats.. hey exactly your double! If I get time I'm in (but I like my current dude! dilemma)
