Title: Let's Try This One Again
Post by: jackgephart on September 06, 2009, 05:20:44 pm
Well, I posted this head as bakersdozen, but I think I was getting dissed at the time so as Jack Gephart I will post it again.
I tried the Pia Head that Davy was working on.

Wonderfull Jack! I know you do take requests at times. You have a nac for doing justice to the celebritys, but your photo-real skins, IMO are terific and a great inspiration to us all. Even though I see, I havn't managed to realize how. I do wish you would do more of them. Even though it may mean getting out your camera and a lot more work and a few less celebritys, I feel that is a real bonus to all. No one else here has done that as far back as far as I can remember. You are one of the truly great artists here. I am humbled at your presecents.
 I value your critque as much as I value the praise when I post a head or fullbod my friend. Rock on!

Thank you Bill and Ted, and Ted I think it is easier to do heads that aren't famous. The main reason is that you don't have to worry about getting it exactly right. And that is so much easier. Don't get me wrong, it's fun when you get a head in PP and can shape it to look just about like the person that you are trying for, but finding a beautiful face and just playing with it can be just as rewarding. Even if after I make the head, I never use it again. I have the Haptek player read my emails some times, read Bible based publications for me and anything else that I am too lazy to read at the time. So if I do a really good looking head, famous or not, I use it more. But thanks for the request and I will try to live up to it.

I agree, Jack and Ted. Making lovely puttyheads (girls, of course, lol) is very easy. But if it's a celebrity... the likeness must be PERFECT.

And it seems your puttyheads are perfect, Jack. [8D]

And making strange creature heads is even easier than making pretty girls heads. If it turns out weird, so much the better. [:D]

Aladyblond, it's great to hear from you again![^] Are you here to stay or just dropping by? We need a fullbody artist to replace me, my designs are a bit too racy for this family oriented site. Please don't be a stranger. Thanks for the comment.

I guess I'm looking for a site that shows pages of thumbnails and the ability to browse your entire collection. I have tried to sign up for one of the forums where I think you reside but it never let's me join. The link here only provides a handful of the creations you have so talentedly offered us. I think the new guys might be missing out on what got me started in all this and that is you and your library of characters. Glad you are back. Great to see Alady also. It would be good to see this forum on fire again.

Ooglor, ok, all I have right now is a skydrive account that has all my work put on it. But the bad thing is I can't set up a thumbnail to zip file link. If I had a website instead of a storage space it would be better. I'm not trained in HTML or anything like that so I guess I'm just screwed. Maybe one of you members are and could help me. So Oog, here are some links to my work that is saved on the skydrive storage.

http://cid-fcd89cebe59823da.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Skins
This is the skins that I have done, there are more on AI Dreams and you don't even have to be signed in to download.
http://aidreams.co.uk/forum/index.phpClick the download tab once you are there.

Here are the heads:
http://cid-fcd89cebe59823da.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Putty%20Heads?ct=photos Unfortunately, the thumbnails are for show only. But the next link shows all the zip folders of each head in the order that the thumbnails showed them.
http://cid-fcd89cebe59823da.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Putty%20Heads1
And that is all I have right now. I'd love to set up a website, but I have no knowledge of that kind of stuff. I have the storage and all, so if anyone feels generous, please help me to set up a couple web pages that could link up to the skydrive site. Thanks.

No takers huh? Out with the old in with the new I guess is the saying...
I promise I'm not asking for any money or nothing, if there was just some way to get my website back up and running, I would be very happy. Just if someone has some know how to start up a web page, and make it so it could be able to do more than the links up above, that would be great.

Jack, I see from the gallery of heads that if you click on one of the thumbnails it takes you to the full size image.  I noticed you can add comments to the image, so how about you make a comment on each one which includes the link to the actual download ?

Would that be sufficient ?

Take a look at your 'Adam' character, see how I added the link...

Are you looking to have someone host your work on their site? Or do you want a personal site? How much space do you need?

If you want your own personal site I think http://www.tripod.lycos.com/ is very good and easy to use. Just choose their free plan and design your site with their online templates. Then add links to your www.jackgephart.lycos.com (or whatever) site to your skydive account. It's actually pretty easy. No html needed. And knowing how well you can use picture software this will a snap for you to learn.

I just tested the site site out and I think it will work for what you want.

The only draw-backs is that it includes some adds, not many.

Ok, thanks guys. Freddy That sounds like a good plan, but I don't really like what the skydrive pages look like. So snowman's idea looks worth checking out. Thanks for all of your good ideas.

A site that had all the skins, plugins and heads with thumbs would be cool. I would add my stuff to a site that had an easy to use layout. I have a couple of characters and a couple of skins I could contribute. I hope you can get things going Jack. You have too much work to not be able to let people enjoy it.
