Wrath of the Republic-Episode I-Jedi Trials. (Teaser)
- Thread starter Arc_Trooper77
- Start date
great so far!I like the customs at the moment, working well & not too OTT!
The only thing I'd suggest is not to use images from Knights of the old republic (the building pic) - Drewton kinda does that & it makes it look like your own imitates his, there are many different cultures that have amazing building structures that you could use or make your own - then you will get the atmosphere to be unique to your own stories 8)
Also although its nitpicky if that is Bultar & Saesee Tiin then perhaps make sure that the timeline is correct with that of episode 1 - as far as I'm aware Saesee Tiin looses his horn during the clone wars . ... just to make your stuff as credible as can be!
That better, Raziel? :lol:
As for that being Bultar & Saesee Tiin, I checked Wookiepedia as vastly as I could, and I never found anything about Tiin loosing his horn. I had thought he did too, but even in his last few moments, it showed him with having two horns. So, I've figured I'd make this a different Jedi Master. :wink: As for Bultar, I'm just going to use her as a Jedi Padawan for the story, she won't be playing that much of a major role.

To respectfully disagree with my friend Raz, I don't think you should waste any time worrying about when or how Saese Tin might or might not have lost a horn.
It's got nothing to do with good storytelling. Just tell a cool story, that's all that matters.
The pictures are very clean and nice, but I would have liked a little dialogue in the previews so we could see the context of these events.
But I look forward to this story and will definitely check it out!

:lol: wow!
Yeah thats awesome - much better - it wasn't a criticism before, just a nudge towards taking what could be just another PN into being as awesome as you want it & imagine it to be . . .
Believe me, you can imagine alot in your head but sometimes the reader doesnt quite see it as you do - every little helps dude & this looks excellent in just a few shots!

:wink: Thanks for a step in helping. I fixed this little plot-hole. But be sure, there are many surprises to be had! 8)
ITS ONLY GONNA GET BETTER AND ARC WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THAT PAINT THAT YOU TOLD ME I SHOULD REDO OUR CLONES IN
One thing I recommend as I've been putting the finishing touches on my PN is to make the images a fixed size. Look at how Chewie and other PN'ers do it. And not too wide either, you don't want people to have to scroll horizontally to look at frames. I myself am going with a 4x3 aspect ratio, 640x480 pixels for the final cut.
Looks great!
Looks great!
Thanks for addressing that! I have been wondering how that is done.. mind giving instructions for that? :?
:?I use this software to do the simple stuff like cropping and resizing: XnView
Plus it has really cool batch processing options.
So to crop the images to a 4:3 ratio, go to Edit -> Set Selection Ratio -> 4x3
and then the selection will be 4x3 and voila
Later on when you're ready to publish you can re-size them all to a consistent size.
I notice there that you have some frames that are pretty narrow compared to the others so you'll probably have to sacrifice some of what you intended the reader to see there when you crop, that sucks. For that pyramid, I would cheat by just resizing and ignoring the "maintain aspect ratio" thing, just stretch that sucker out and see if it still looks good
It's good software, and it's free
Oh and btw, 4x3 is just one option, you can do whatever you want of course!! 5x3, etc you can even make the frames square if you want, or if you just can't sacrifice anything on those narrow ones you can just pad the canvas (resize canvas), just as long as all the frames are the same size

Ah sorry, too subtle, click on the XnView on the first line of my last post and ye shall find you seek
Can anyone help me find larger sized pictures of good-looking temples and a larger picture of Yavin? I can't seem to resize these without distorting them heavily.
Bump.. Update! Here are some customs for the photonovel I managed to whip up.. to solve.. character problems.. :lol:
