Oh fack...

In a moment of complete idiocy (and in the interest of reclaiming some server space on my main site) I decided to... delete a whole crapload of images I assumed I had uploaded to Photobucket.

You know what they say about assuming? Yeah, I had saved NONE of them to Photobucket. So I may or may not have lost a chunk of my earliest dragons. A little scrounging turned up most thankfully, maybe missing a stage or two but that's okay. And I'm hoping a few of you lovely people can help me find the rest. Here is what I'm missing:

-Green and blue sets from Dawnsister's Weyr

I thought these guys would be be easiest to find, since Dawnsister's was so popular around the time I joined. XD Thank you all so much for your help! *massive group hug*

Eek! I didn't keep any images from that far back, I'm afraid, but I should be able to recolor images for you fairly easily. Do you need Cynnath's, as well?

Cherubith's still on my site believe it or not! Here you are:

Kitsuneko- Really? :D *glomp* Thank you! As for Cynnath I figured I could go and use a green from past clutches, if it's alright with you. ^^

Xalia- Thanks! *glomps as well* Cheru' is another one of my favorites, I hated losing his image. *snugs him* ^___^

Kitsuneko · Post by **Kitsuneko** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 3:27 pm

*shrugs* If you want, I don't mind. I'll get to work on the other two, then.

dracosinfernoweyr · Post by **dracosinfernoweyr** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 3:31 pm

*extremely grateful* I only really need the adult images for those guys, Kitsuneko, to save you time and effort. ^__^

And, I found all of Epochith's image sets so I've crossed her off the list! *relieved*

Heh, you're in luck with the Opal Moon green-white and green-blue. I have the templates for the original Opal Moon set, which I do mean to use at some point. ^_^

Here's the green-blue, and I can color you up a new green-white if the base green was the same as for the green-blue (although if it was lighter, I can fudge it if you don't mind that the results won't be perfect):

And a quick question: was the Diaspore-Space white with space-like wings or was it bronze?

Kitsuneko · Post by **Kitsuneko** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 3:54 pm

Hey, you know what? I just realized I have a green-blue from Opal Moon. *facepalm* http://www.geocities.com/kad_12/myrimpress.html Should be the same image.

...And I may have a Beach Shards pale blue as well. Is this the same shade? http://www.geocities.com/darklingdawnwe ... adult.html

<EDIT> Oops, Keilin beat me to the Green-Blue. ^^;

Keilin Alyr · Post by **Keilin Alyr** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 4:04 pm

Heehee, yup, that'd be the image! Though if you still need that green-white, Kayla, I'm in a coloring mood. =)

dracosinfernoweyr · Post by **dracosinfernoweyr** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 4:15 pm

Thank you guys so much! ^^ Yes, I do need the green-white image if you don't mind Keilin. And I may need to borrow that Opal Moon image set from you if I'm going to get my diaspore-space Kohavaeth back. x_X

I hadn't looked at R'lan's page in ages, but if memory serves that blue is close enough. Thanks again Kitsu'. ^^

Man, I was going to be happy if I just got the adults back but now I'm getting back whole sets! :D

dracosinfernoweyr · Post by **dracosinfernoweyr** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 4:19 pm

Crap, and I just noticed I'm missing my silver-horned yellow hathian Indefra. That one may not be so easy to get back, either. T___T

Starburst · Post by **Starburst** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 4:31 pm

Dunno if it helps, but there seems to be a silver-horned yellow Hathian here:

I found it linked from the first Rave records on the hathian dens page.

Is it just me, or does Cherubith invert body/wing colors when he grows up? Trippy :-p

Keilin Alyr · Post by **Keilin Alyr** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 4:37 pm

This should be close to the original green-white:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/K ... nwhite.gif

And I hate to have you sort through all these images, but is the wing pattern for the Diaspore-Space in here? I know I saw the image file for the Quartz-Planet in there, so I think this was Analyn's source.

dracosinfernoweyr · Post by **dracosinfernoweyr** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 4:47 pm

Oh no, I don't mind looking at all if it means I get Kohavaeth back. ^__^ I believe it was this one, only on his body and his wings were a plain brown. But either way is fine with me, if only on the wings is easier for you. *snugs for all*

And thanks Molly! That's actually Indefra's exact image, I think. ^^;

Edit: Um, including the link would be good... yiss. x_x

Keilin Alyr · Post by **Keilin Alyr** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 4:52 pm

Ah, so his body was the pattern and his wings were solid? I'll just need the image file and an approximate body color. ^_^

Uh-oh... and I must resist coloring a dragon with this as a base x.X:

dracosinfernoweyr · Post by **dracosinfernoweyr** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 5:04 pm

I think the body was close to this color: #734A12 and the wings about this color: #AA6600 All I'll really need is the adult, don't worry about hatchling and weyrling images. ^^

And as much as it disturbs me to say it... I'd so adopt a dragon with that coloring. It could bond my boobah dragon. O_O

Mystic Dragon · Post by **Mystic Dragon** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 5:06 pm

I keep all the old Hathian images, so any time you need one, just ask.

Thanks Mystic. Let's hope that this time was the first, last, and only time I do something so stupid though. X_x Also, would you mind terribly if I made the background on Indefra's image transparent?

I honestly never noticed that until someone pointed it out. XD

Keilin Alyr · Post by **Keilin Alyr** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 5:15 pm

Hmm... *scratches head* Somehow... I don't think either of these looks like Kohavaeth. But I definitely have the time to alter the images if need be. ^_^

Hey, Kayla, were the DS images from the new Weyr or one of the older ones? Because Shard's massive dragon collection has yielded these two from the new Weyr ^_^:

dracosinfernoweyr · Post by **dracosinfernoweyr** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 5:18 pm

The second one is just perfect, thanks Keilin. ^^ Now that I think on it, I believe Kohavaeth had some kind of raised, swirly pattern on his wings but they were still one single shade of brown. But don't worry about it, he's as gorgeous as I remembered. ^__^

dracosinfernoweyr · Post by **dracosinfernoweyr** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 5:20 pm

Yep, they were from the newer one. Thanks, again! :D Y'all helped me so much reclaiming my lost stuff. ^_____^

Keilin Alyr · Post by **Keilin Alyr** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 5:22 pm

Definitely no problem, and this has resparked my interest in using those templates again, which is always a good thing. ^_^

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 6:22 pm

I wish I'd gotten whole sets of those.

Go 'head and take what you need if you find any of them on my pages.

Not a problem. Also, if you want one of the new templates then I can colour one up for you. That offer's open to anyone with a solid/canon colour Hathian too.

dracosinfernoweyr · Post by **dracosinfernoweyr** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 7:17 pm

Nah, I like Indefra just the way she is. She and Damen are my only "classic" hathians. :P Thanks though. ^^

What a wonderful trip down "Omg I wrote that? *cringe*"-lane I've just experienced. XD;

Keilin Alyr · Post by **Keilin Alyr** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 7:21 pm

Heh... can't possibly be as bad as the memories that re-surfaced in me. I knew I wrote some horrid stuff in the past, but my Tripaldi material was the pinnacle of terror. Poor Cherubith for being a part of it (and poor Xalia for having to deal with the brunt of it)... ^_^;

*sporks Ecanirith and those godawful stories/roleplay sessions until they exist no longer*

Astra · Post by **Astra** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 10:55 pm

Oh I know that feeling. My flurry candidate actually references a character who bonded at the 2002 flurry ... and dear GOD was she ever bad. I've changed so much on my planet and in general plottingness since then, anyway, that her story now no longer has anything remotely to do with actual happenings on the world of Cyrna. The Second Darkness, while tragic, did NOT single handedly cause the downfall of Rea D'asani, and it certainly didn't last for 20 years after that. Er, yeah, old stories are fun

Wish i still had some of my REALLY old ones saved on my long defunct aol account and such...
