Dragon Age Central

Looks very normal to me ^^

Funny :)

I know why you neven win >_> and yes, that is that horrible. Borders = broken-down pic.

Both pics are not the readable - you need a better (bold) font or a greater color contrast.

Yep well aware of that, still I wanted to keep to red and grey tones. Guess I should stick with the plain one since bold text and other fonts just make it into a big wall of text

This is pretty cool. I would have been more impressed if I didn’t have one of these hanging in my house =) I made one for my wife of me and her..made up of pictures of us over the years. Still cool thought.

That’s pretty brilliant...I love the concept! Chance of me winning lessening... :p

Thx all, anonymous and shepard.

How to do:
* first i draw a mind map. What’s the great things the players love, what makes a dragon age game, what is the fascination of RPG? So a came up with the personality - the role play you take in the game. Second, i liked the "linked mind" of a social site, so a wanted to take both concepts together, as the idea of synergy (~ 2 hours)
* i saved 4 chars and experimented in PS and the free tool Gimp how to do such a thing. There is a really short way: you can take a layer and say "get only the background color, take the gray char pic and put it together". Blending modes ans mosaic filter. You can choose between "color" and "color burn" and "soft light"(best). So i downloaded more pics, cut the city elf bride from wallpaper and put every char on her. Experimented with the size of the char. A made about 1/6, till Saturday afternoon. And oh no, had no time, to do the remain done (~ 15 h)
* so searched about four automates and try them out (~ 4 h) and chosen the best
* i saved every of the 1000 chars manually and looked specially for bright colors (~ 2 h)
* but i had not so many white hair for my loved bride, so i had to choose other pic (~ 1 h)
* finally get all the 1000 chars in the program and tease it as long as the effect was nearly perfect to my own entitlement (~ 3h)
So the automate task took about 12 % of the time.
And as i said, i had a lot of fun looking at other chars and making the things done.
