The Oddessy Update

Post by Yakima »

I've revamped the Oddessy's pages to a more space like theme (inspired by the Abstract Destiny :D)

http://www.wolf-mage.com/last_oddessy.html
(here is a character page...tho it has been tweaked since this upload) http://www.wolf-mage.com/character/toshiero.html

I've also added some things (one is for later [the Records] and the other is a 'well it's about time' type of thing. :P) I've decided on some species information for the handful of species i've given out but I didn't put on Anarendor in the end. They're info will be found here. Hopefully I find/remember all the information about them from previous giveaways.

One I don't think will remain the same as previously are the Tajsar. I've...er...kinda developed them (as well as some of the others) and I hope no one minds. :P *is currently trying to draw the anthro version of the Tajsar and is not liking the result).

Now, if I can figure out the shading-style I want for the template for the Breeding Code Generations I'll be on a roll... *pokes template*

It's always good to have a spacefaring group. :)

Okay, I updated what I did today. I have to fix the side view for the map in the beginning (cause I didn't put the engine thingy's on it... >.<) but yeah...i'm not meant to do maps so I barrows Phe's style again. Tho, I did put an overhead view on it too. lol

Everything looks great, but I would highly advise going through to beta-read the text! There are lots of spelling errors (for example, issues where the spelling is inconsistent: "is it spelled 'Oddssey' or 'Oddessey'?" as well as basic grammar errors: "'there' denotes location: 'there were three packs of wolves' vs 'their' denotes ownership 'the wolves looked up to the alphas of their pack'") It just looks like you've spent most of your time on making the first impression of the site look nice... though going through and making sure that the words read impeccably is really important, because it's what will hook viewers and make them take your site seriously, in the end!

In any case, ooh, the breeding project looks like it's going to be very interesting!

Can I make one suggestion? For the species database, make the image of the species a part of the link to its page? My first instinct is to click the image, rather than the name of the species, so including them both as a part of the link would make them more quickly accessible!

I'm glad that this ship is getting some attention. I really like the characters you have stowed away, there!

:P I know, Dray. I've been more interested in organizing the characters and I really need to find a text editor that has spell check (well, the one I have does but I can't get it to work >.<) All the species stuff for the Tajsar was temporary sorta till I get into my word processor and start hashing stuff out. :P

*goes back to trying to draw the anthro version of the Tajsar* I am not very good at this. lol

Fair enough! I'd just noticed some mistakes on the front page! Most of our sites are works in progress, I think. X3

Good luck with the anthro! They are tough, I agree.

Yes, thought what I'm struggling with is what they look like. Right now I might as well have them as a wingless terigon anthromorph. I don't know how human I want them to look...

This is what I have so far...i don't know if I want their wings to be carried over in this form yet...I have a character for Uny that's this species, for the tattoo dragons which is why I got into developing them so much. heheee

Heck, might as well add the wings in! They'd be like Gargoyles, then!

Just to let you know, I have the Malsen/Asper-dal info up...Well, basics and the start of things at least. They took a different twist then originally thought but I tried to keep the basic principles of ice and whatnot (the Malsen-dal[im] are not bound to just air anymore...]
