Palden Dorjee Lhamo is almost finished ! This girl's sprite (yes, it is female. And not the kind you'd wish to present to your mom :D!) has been really hard to draw. I mean REALLY. But at least, I managed to obtain something that more or less looks like I wanted to do;).

Sde Brgyad (Frightful Ones) are finished, and will be a national summon.

I've finished Bdud (a kind of demons) and Bdud Warriors, and also made the sprite for Lhas (sorts of guardian spirits or lesser gods) and Dgra Lhas (warrior gods or spirits). I'm about to draw some other demons (Srin Po, Gshed Ma, Rgyal Po, Srin Po'i Rgyal Po) and spirits (Klu), and I hope I'll be able to present you with a test version of the mod quite soon (possibly next week or the week after... I hope:rolleyes:)

By the way, if you want any advice on Nepalise/Tibetan/Ghurkah armaments, and maybe military practices, I can probably help a lot there. I've studied the kukri and related weapons at great length (I was going to have a kukri specially forged for me, at one time, but I got married and the money for it disappeared-aside from that, my dad used to appraise swords for auction houses, and I basically got weapons and armour with my mother's milk.).

Before you stick up a test version, how about a preview of a couple of completed sprites to whet our appetites?

Honeybadger, what an horrible thing to imagine :D ! But, at least, you had an iron-rich diet when you were a baby...:rolleyes:

I'm interested by advices on Tibetan armaments and military practices.

Concerning Ghurkah, you won't have them until LA, but a unit in MA uses kukri (dagger-size kukri, 'cause I plan to have Ghurkah-based units in LA, some with short kukri blades, others with great kukri, sorts of dacian "sica").

Oh, and here is the sprite of Palden Dorjee Lhamo... I hope you will not be too disappointed by my lack of drawing skill :D !

Nicely done. You are a true sprite master.

Well, this didn't work like I expected...

I just tried once again, and failed !

How can I attach an image so you can download it and see it better ? Any help is welcome...


BTW, the yellow guy is a Gelug lama of Shangri La...

I just went though that myself today.

I read and followed Sombre's advice to Honeybadger in Honeybadgers' Aksum thread.

What you have to do (from a near-total idiots understanding) is convert your sprites to a JPEG format, upload them to Free Image Hosting.com, copy the address and paste it in the "manage attachments" part below this section of the reply.

How did I do?? Did it once, two hours ago and already I'm an expert!!!!!!!:D:D

Thanks, Ed.

I tried ... but it didn't work !!

I keep having the sprite as a thumbnail, not as an attached file, and it doesn't seem you can download it...

:DI think the problem is you're a near-total idiot... so you understand it much better than me 'cause i'm a total-idiot :doh:!!

The best thing to do is to wait patiently until one of the Dover pros read this thread and can help you.

I spent about 30 minutes clicking and hoping in my image program until I stumbled upon the method of accomplishing (mostly) my objective. It is known as the "Even a blind dog pees on a bush once in while" method of computer type stuff.:)

Convert the .tga file to .png

Go to freeimagehosting.

Upload.

Copy the URL for 'Display this image on a forum' or whatever.

Paste it in a post.

If people want to download it they can do a save as. I don't see why you'd need people to download it though.
