To the player of Winnifred Ferguson

[jeslange]

Just wanted to say that she was extremely well RPed, and my char who knew her appreciated her.

*Sniffs softly* That's sweet man, I wish my characters were recognized... *Sniffs again* This post touches my heart...

[Indio no.9]

yeh and whats wid the pictures all over the place. -a picture of winnefred fergussen- **hmmm, no i think il put this down**

[rklenseth]

There is a guy in Seatown Forest that likes to draw pictures of the characters. He is a portrait artist, I guess.

[west]

Will Bishoff I think it is. But yeah. I liked Winnifred the few times my chars met her. Woots. kinda surprised you didn't know who played her, but I'll never tell.

I HATE those pictures. For one, they are usually just pictures of celebrities, secondly, they often include items not in the game, thirdly, most of the people drawn should be naked, not wearing clothing that doesnt even exist in game. Its a CR breach IMO.

[ephiroll]

Yeah, I've seen the pics your talking about, and I can identify where about 3/4 of them came from, not a single one is original work. That's one thing I'm big on, anything I use for my chars is original, no exceptions.

[west]

That's the problem, really. I like the pics but they're not original. I found a perfect one that'd be great for one of my chars but I didn't draw it and the person who did doesn't want it used. So that was a bummer.

But I suppose we'll have to wait on original portraiture.

If I had any talent I could be a ghost-artist

[thingnumber2]

I'd have some artistic characters, if only I had something better the MS paint...*sigh*

[rklenseth]

What I was thinking is that you could take real pictures then use photoshop with a filter that makes it look like a painting. I am horrible at anything that resembles painting or drawing but camera and photoshop I can use.

[rklenseth]

Actually, I think I have my first painting. Do I send it into programming department?

[Meh]

Yes

[g1asswa1ker]

First off none of the pictures I have used in Bishoff's paintings have been celebrities. With maybe the exception of Winnifred Ferguson.
Second, I personally am not that great of an artist. The character William Bishoff is suppost to be a great artist.
Third, almost all the pictures are from the people who wanted them.
Fourth, all of the pictures I use are filtered to make them more like oil paints.
Fifth, this is directed to Nick, I am not about to post full nudes in cantr for one thing there are no naked people in cantr they are just wearing nothing worth mentioning, and that was directed at me sometime ago by people in the PD, and lastly to that there are young people who play this game. Do you want a parent to come a knocking saying why is my child able to access this site with adult material on it?
Sixth, I remove as much as I can from the pictures that don't belong in cantr. Most of these pictures had dragons and things but I bet most of you could never tell.

So, please tell me out of all these pictures whats the CR breech you so discribe.




This one is by far my best oil conversion









And if you didn't see the picture here then William Bishoff didn't paint it.
So, go bark up someone elses tree..............

I will comment on them top to bottom;

First
-Bluejays dont exist in Cantr.
-His shield and sword seem to be made of multiple materials. Sabres and Swords are both all steel, and shields are either iron or wood.
-Belts dont exist in Cantr
-Those clothes dont fit any of the clothes description I can think of

Second
-There are nowhere near that many buildings in Seatown Forest
-What is that on the far left of the screen? Does it exist in Cantr?
-Not all of the buildings are cottages

Third
-That one isnt bad, but I doubt its original, like the others arent. Make your own art.
-Lipstick doesnt exist.

Fourth
-Only bikinis are fur or hide. Is that nylon?
-What material did that character use to streak her hair?

Fifth
-Unless I am wrong, she is nude but covered up by objects, the way most of your paintings should be. Not bad. But again, shes wearing lipstick.
-Books dont have covers, they are just long notes. I think of books in Cantr like ancient Chinese books... very long scrolls.

Sixth
-You sure thats not Brittany Spears?
-Streaks in her hair, eyeshadow, lipstick.

Seventh
-I dont think that character has those clothes, nor a metal Ankh necklace


Make your own dang paintings!!!
Or if you arent a good artist, ask West for the link to that historical art making site. Its quite nice. And lastly, did you ask any of the owners of these pictures if you were allowed to alter them and use them? I doubt it. Remember copyright laws, Asswalker.
