Has anyone had a go at drawing these? I was thinking of giving it a try to replace those little icons for people online on the front page, [img:ebd6c9a253]http://www.terrypratchettbooks.org/images/blocks/group-4.gif[/img:ebd6c9a253] and [img:ebd6c9a253]http://www.terrypratchettbooks.org/images/blocks/ur-registered.gif[/img:ebd6c9a253] for instance. They're pretty small so it might be quite difficult, though I guess they could be a tiny bit bigger. Anyway, does anyone want to have a go at drawing some imps or Nac MacFeegles for the online icons? You can draw them bigger to post here and we can see what they look like reduced if that makes it easier?
The Feegle you did is already on the front page. I think it will look cool if we have a few more, all slightly different and just sort of hanging around.

I'd make the blue slightly lighter. You can't see the black outline. Come on, you've got a proper graphics package now....
Well phlon inspired me to make something in a paler blue... Although because I was using that evil software Paint it came out looking something like this: [img:9b221bd4aa]http://www.ecocomm.anu.edu.au/people/info/eagar/phlon.gif[/img:9b221bd4aa]
[quote:a3c7bef591="mowgli"]Smurfs are a different shade of blue and wear a white hat. [/quote:a3c7bef591] Reread Carpe Jugulum. They're described as wearing smurf-like hats, with points slightly downward.
Ok, here's my go at it, pretty lame, of course but well... [img:c665e84cdf]http://www.speechissimo.com/images/minis.gif[/img:c665e84cdf] or on a larger scale, they look like this... [img:c665e84cdf]http://www.speechissimo.com/images/maxis.gif[/img:c665e84cdf] The smaller version isn't that good I'm afraid...
yep... I'll have to try cleaning up the smaller ones by hand, reducing their size automatically really messes them up...
Katcal's are pretty cool, I think they still look pretty nice small. I'll add them in later. Don't worry too much about the size, I can do that with the bigger ones and they don't have to be really small. No one has tried imps yet, it's Feegles all the way so far.
Maybe it's just because the imps aren't as fashionable as the feegles. (meaning we don't see them on illustrations much) I wonder who would win in a fight between imps and feegles. No I don't, feegles would win, the sconners ! (edited for spelling and stuff)

I also think Doors' feegle is a bit on the dark side, but other than that, it's great too.

[quote:dbc4ca3e64="Katcal"]Hmmm, Feegles from the dark side, eh... Crivens, Luke, ahm your dad ! [/quote:dbc4ca3e64] This made me, well, giggle...

I must admit it made me laugh when I wrote it I hope the laughing didn't hurt your neck too much... But yes, I like the idea... maybe some kind of DW-Roundworld translations... there being already so many allusions to cinema and music in DW already, this could be quite fun...

Okay have a look at the front page, there's still a few more little guys to replace if anyone else wants to have a go, or if the same people want to make more.

As for accent mocking, if Doors speaks like a feegle, that's just another item on a long list of reasons why we should mock a) the accent and b) Doors.

I still get only these ones... [img:8acd8bf7b1]http://www.terrypratchettbooks.org/images/blocks/ur-author.gif[/img:8acd8bf7b1] Just a bit more stretched than ususal. Except for the one Doors made.

Proposal for the swampdragon can be found HERE Unfortunately, my site went down (The server actually) and everything is being put back in order, I just don't have FTP access, so no bigger version (yet) unfortunately.

But perhaps he could get a living space in the code of conduct, under "copyrighted material"? (as in piracy) If you think that's a good idea, I could make similar figures for the two other headings, "Nudity/Porn" and "Impersonating Other Users / Accessing Another User's Account". Actually, I got a couple of fun ideas now thinking about it.

On a completely different subject, why does Doors' feegle have an Elvis haircut, in red ?

Either that or change your firefox settings to never cache web pages, that way you always get the latest view.
