I think that most regulars on this forum know what they can expect from the Gallery community. I say "all the power to ya" if you can glean something constructive and/or positive from posting for ratings/hatings. - Ard

It certainly helps when the user is nuts already ... it saves a step. :ohnoes: - Ard

Trust me when I tell you that it takes practice and persistence. Sometimes it still feels random when I don't really know what concept I'm after but eventually I get inspiration. - Ard

Tons more on the first page. Here's my most recent, made for a contest.

They really made leveling faster from 50-60. It will be interesting to see how quickly 60-70 moves too. So far, I'm liking the Deathknight. I got mine past the starter area with only minor frustration. I actually think the new Northrend is busier than the DK starter area. So many maxed characters building to 80. Someone actually ding'd the first 80 on Mannoroth tonight. Talk about not sleeping since the expansion released. PHEW! Not really my style but to each his own.

Don't worry, I will : *Pokes Ard's dART* Thanks so much! A few new ones on the first post again. - Ard

Thanks so much for posting. Feel free to poke me on dART. :P

...more...

Three more - Click through for best quality.

Another new one. Submitted for the Apophysis "Fall Colours" contest on dART.

New image. Click to view larger versions.

I set it to render and then walk away...for hours. It's well worth the wait when you set the render up for high quality/res. If it's slow-to load while you are creating random batches, you may want to select fewer variables, smaller UPR size and lower batch size in the options menu. It took me a while to get the hang of it. I've been using it for two years and I'm sure I'm still NOT an expert. - Ard

Not really a year. The forum wipeout knocked my thread back so a few pages went mia. I've only had fractal-block since June and simply hadn't brought the thread current from before the wipeout. :twss: ROFL. I know I'm wordy but my first thread states: APO is my primary fractal program. I used GIMP for post-render work like framing/signatures. Check out my DeviantART Gallery and fullview the images for all the details of what I used, including scripts/plugins. Incendia just happens to be my newest tool and was created by a fellow APO user on dART. So far, I've only rendered one item using Incendia. - Ard

Mannoroth has been horrible, lagwise. I've yet to even respec since the patch. Does anyone have a druid they've respec'd - have any tips? - Ard

Yes, it's been a while but I'm hoping to be back in full swing with graphics stuff soon. First thread updated with new images. Here are a couple of fun ones for all you Heroes fans out there: - Ard

Congratulations Peter!!! I'm thrilled to see you take on this role! - Ard

de-evolotion stinks - Ard

Congratulations!!! - Ard

Congratulations!!! - Ard

Thanks to all who have worked so hard to bring this back up! - Ard

Post any comments, suggestions and additions to the Summoning Guide here. Please keep in mind that as of 1-16-2008, it is a work-in progress. - Ard Update 22 Jan: several folks have suggested a "how to make money from summoning" section. Please feel free to post information from your own game experience how you are making money with summoning.

Yesterday's Summoning Progress. (I'm not posting all the levels, just the final one of the day). Combat: 102 Standard Deviation: 12.47

Just a couple of things. If you have a question about how a thread has been handled, contact the moderator (nicely) for that forum or contact an Administrator via private message. It's virtually impossible for us to see every cross reference to locked/moved/edited threads. As for forum questions, we could just roll them up into this forum as more of a "Forum Questions & Suggestions" theme. Skilled, you have become. - Ard
