That’s preposterous!
I don’t even know *how* to leave valid commentary! :O

Ooh, I was wondering about the icons there and never thought to ask you. Interesting bit of code there!

The icons are from a WordPress Plugin called “Identicon” that generates various icons based on the email address supplied. It picks a 24-bit color (I have the background set as “transparent”, so it only picks one color), three shapes (out of 17 available) and the orientations/inversions of those shapes. The end result is a pretty effect that reminds me of patchwork quilts. Nique’s really stands out of the ones I’ve seen generated so far, just because the shapes on hers really stand out and meld into a larger shape than the usual grid of four makes.

As for Golden’s nose: This is more “stylistic error” than a lack of nostril — mostly just trying to make it so Vidian snouts don’t look like Zillan ones. Some details work better than others, of course.

I can add some clarification, sure.

Considering that the form shouldn’t allow you to post without filling in something for an email address, I would hope it becomes clear as you try to comment at least. ^_^

You may want to clarify that the e-mail address doesn’t need to be in the body of the comment. Maybe that’s already clear, but I was confused for a second.

Ooh, pretty default-icon colors! What template (if it is indeed a template) on what program are you using?

@ Nique: Perhaps they open intermittently but mostly remain closed, like those of a hippo underwater. What say you, cartoonist?

Golden Braun has no nostrils! D:
Otherwise, I love her design. Horns = <3

Well I have to start commenting now, huh? XD

I’m waiting to see what colour the discs turn according to ranks. Whether it’s Gold/Silver/Borne or something more original.
