  2. If you've got a supposedly black and white image, it should be 2 colors: black and white. Go into "Image" and reduce colors to 2, if it's above 2 it's greyscale. That's where the grey dithering is coming from.

    Once your image is cleaned up and no grey remains, increase the colors back to millions.

    Myself, I scan in greyscale and then reduce directly to 2, clean up the edges pixel by pixel, and color using the "float selection" technique. I'm still not that comfortable with layers, but they are handy.
  3. Yeah the first one I was on, I noticed that even though we were villains, there was a tank and several others. I didn't realize the bit with the countdown, that makes sense that if another group pings it within that time frame, they'll all be joined up.
  4. Cool, that makes sense. Like I said I'll deal with that if I need to
  5. I got a few today, and headsup my printer won't print anything without ruining it so mine will definitely be late (and no, I can't afford cards... technically I can't afford the stamps either, but...).
  6. Okaaaaaaay..... >_> that made very, very little sense to me. If I have a *link* to a photobucket image, it can be used as html for any display purposes, and a link doesn't have to be *viewed* as a picture... I guess that's the problem, that the form they're using is only able to take an image instead of a link?

    In general I'd recommend upgrading that service, if you cannot actually use a link... that makes *no* sense to me at all. What kind of host doesn't allow of-site links from places designed for it? weird.

    Anyway, I'll see about sending images if I win
  7. Awesome.

    And lol shadowkitty I so love that video

    Also: The preset will respawn regardless of whether there are Winter Horde standing there or not. If the present respawns and there is a player within range, the Winter Horde will simply die.

    In short: If there are Winter Horde standing there, alive, there's no present anyway.
    Right, but it gets kind of annoying anyway. Every event that leaves mobs is like this... But I guess trying to change people to be polite is too much to ask. I'm just glad that they respawn the present after a while instead of just standing around forever.

    Maybe.

    What, too scared to come to us?
  10. I might wind up moving some guys around, not necessarily on Protector though because over time I've made some strays that would have been better off on different servers due to their 'theme'. I'll probably move at least one toon off because I hardly play him anyway, but aside from that I don't know that I'll move anyone else off/on.

    Well, the only times I could possible participate, would be for the Female Villain.
    No, no I don't have any issues whatsoever with MY side of the screenshot issue. It's the "do you want to show us your screenshot of your character keep it under 100k" requirement of the CONTEST. I have a paid photobucket account, I can upload darn near anything without worry - and even if something there didn't work, I have my own server I can put whatever else on. It just won't be acceptable by the rules of the contest, because it's too big.
  13. Oh hey, excuse the double post.

    If I send a screenshot can we *please* have them larger than 100k this year? Seriously - my screen resolution is 1680x1050, I can't even TAKE screenshots less than 300k. Losing the detail in a low-quality jpg, or shrinking the image size loses way too much.

    Can we not just link TO screenshots if we have them online? I've got plenty of mine, and photobucket is hardly difficult to link to. At this point I'd say that the era of small-k-sized screenshots is way, way over.
  14. If you're like me, and had a Yahoo address, no marketing email gets through *because of Yahoo's structure*, not for lack of trying.

    It's not. Which is why one should generally try and figure out where that line is if you're going to swipe FROM someone.

    "Inspired by x" and "credit to y" or "I loved this pose by z so much I had to try it myself". Ask first, if they're online.

    That's pretty much why I use stock art.

    Truth be told: I learned how to draw from tracing Dazzler comics. I still have a folder with all my old character poses and 'new' characters done in them. Hell, some of them have become major characters in the rpg world I have written. But I don't use THOSE pictures for em
