tealin | The Great Update is Complete

FINISHED.Mostly.

Probably.

I've standardized all the Books pages, sorted the Books drawings to their respective characters' pages, listified the 'Odds and Ends' which has been sorted into Characters, Locations, and Gags, and (last but not least) updated the copyright dates. Needless to say, if you find any errors or omissions, please let me know ...

Now that the series is finished, and my affections drifted elsewhere long ago, this is probably the last major update of the Potter stuff. Every so often something might trickle onto the site, but it's probably fruitless to keep checking back for new stuff. I'm considering making a splash page for my site, which as soon as you accessed it would give you the choice of going to Harry Potter or Everything Else – what do you think of this idea? I thought it would give my more recent, better, non-Potter stuff better representation than hiding it all in a corner of the Potter site. But if everyone hates this idea, maybe I shouldn't bother. (Or maybe I will anyway, just to be contrary.)

I am SUCH A LIAR. I remembered a Snape picture I hadn't added, and in trawling through Photobucket to find it, discovered a slew of other things I hadn't included either. So. Utter Miscellany has even more new stuff, the Snicket page gets in on the action, and a few new drawings have turned up on Harry's and Snape's pages (mirrored in the Odds and Ends).

I like the idea of a splash page. I think there should be a picture involved for each link as well to help give a visual representation of the different.

I'm getting 'page not found' :(

Bah, I fail at making links. Dumb quotation marks. Should be fixed now. :)

Cool, all working :D

Splash page sounds like a good idea. A lot of people go to your site for the HP stuff, so they'll be able to go straight to it. And since the 'Everything Else' section is just going to keep growing as you find new things to love, it makes sense to give it its own section.

I'm kind of surprised the DW books aren't listed in chronological order. (Unless you did that since I looked the page over this morning.)

I thought listing them alphabetically would make it easier to find the one you're looking for, as more people know the alphabet than the chronology of the books. Then there's the question of publication order or internal chronological order (which would make a better web than a list anyway), whether you group things by their sub-series or try to figure out an absolute chronology, and whether to list them up or down, i.e. most recent ones first or last. Alphabetical is easier.

Um. Yes. Whatever was I thinking? ^_^O You're right, of course.

You were overestimating my nerdiness! (is that possible?)

I remember obsessing over your galleries back in 2002. It's so neat to see how things have changed!

oh, yeah, do the splash thingy! It's excellent, if you are tired of HP (which is not my case xD... yet o.O) and you're too tired to find another thing.

YES to the splash page. You could have it so that you have a general "Harry Potter" button to click, but then the other things underneath to click as well, like how it's set up on this page: http://www.nocturnalsoldier.org/Tealin/xhp/ . And then after you clicked Harry Potter you could have those book and character things you've already made on the next page to click.

That's how I'd set it up anyway, if I was you. It would be nicer to your other stuff than if you just had "Harry Potter" and "Other Stuff" as options on the splash page, eh?

I was thinking the Harry Potter link would lead to the index as it is now, and the other link would lead to that /xhp/ place (which might get a bit of a makeover as it's kind of barren). And yeah, there'd be more there than just 'Everything Else' but what and how it's presented depends on what I come up with for the page layout, and with my track record on website innovation it'll probably be another couple of years before you see a result...

I just visited your website for the first time and now it's marked as one of my favorites! God, I admire your expressively drawn characters. If you don't mind me asking, what does such a talented traditional character artist such as yourself do for a living?

I was just perusing you pages, and I realized that the little story on the snicket pages about Klaus being confused as harry reminds me a lot of Monty Python and the holy Grail "She's a witch!" . . . "This isn't my nose it's a false one!" I imagine bellatrix drawing a scar on Klaus.

All your stuff is awesome, as always, but how did I miss Captain Hammer JFK?! BRILLIANT BEYOND ALL REASON!

I dunno, it was only ... gosh, was that a whole month ago now? Anyway, I posted it on here. A disproportionate number of people seem to have been gone that week; I think they were all in line for Batman. Fools! The only people with excessive eyeliner in Dr Horrible are in the Evil League of Evil where they belong!

Hear, hear! I´d actually want to see more of the "Evil League of Evil". There wasn´t enough of it in the musical. *sigh*

And thumbs up for the Splash page idea! *secretly hopeing for more Discworld stuff*

Weeelllll ... my sister and I did come up with the idea for a The Fake Thomas Jefferson High School yesterday ...

(Actually she'd probably be horrified that I'm sharing credit with her, so I came up with it. All by myself.)

There will indubitably be more Discworld stuff (I can think of at least three Thud! illustrations I'd like to do still) but I need time to be able to read the books again ...

Very nice! I found your artwork because of Harry Potter, but I didn't know you liked Snicket too. :D

I like the splash page idea a lot. And I'm totally biased, of course, but I rather think there should be a commissions section too.

Haha, well, do your best to get me fired from Disney and I might start taking commissions again ... :)

You'd better. I'm gonna want this guy at some point (the, uh, sparkly one) :

Not "you'd better get fired", but... you know what I mean.

You do realise that had you kept the original of Ketchup Harry and let it develop a nice furry overlayer of mould then you would undoubtedly have won the Turner Prize/other-eccentric-arts-competition-of-your-choice? :/

Under Lovecraft art, Howard Phillips (thumbnails) and Howard Phillips (full body) both link to the thumbnail page, fyi.

Thank you! Should be fixed now.

I am SOOOOO sure you should make a Kretcher. Besides, I think that THIS would be entertaining:

"The kitchen was almost unrecognizable. Every surface now shown: Copper pots and pans had been burnished to a rosy glow; the wooden tabletop gleamed; the goblets and plates already laid for dinner glinted in the light from a merrily blazing fire, on which a cauldron was simmering. Nothing...[was more] different than the house-elf who now came hurrying tward Harry, dressed in a snowy-white towel,his ear hair as clean and fluffy as cotton wool, Regulus's locket bouncing on his thin chest."

Dobby and Winky have made it, so shouldn't Kretcher?!

Sorry to say, Kreacher just doesn't excite my occipital lobe ... he didn't when I met him, he didn't when I read book 7, and he still doesn't now.
