The Great Update is Complete

[tealin]

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' :(

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 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 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!

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.

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.

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?!
