More pages for the Original Comic Art Gallery! :)

Hi all,

I just thought you guys would like to see how the Original Comic Art Gallery is shaping up - these are all for the Marvel Comics subsection of the gallery. They don’t all connect to each other yet, but they will do when the gallery is completed! :slight_smile:

If you guys could check that these pages work OK, that would be excellent - many thanks! :slight_smile:

Take care, and speak to you all soon! :slight_smile:

Those look awesome Chris.:lionoReally nice job

Looks good Chris!
I enjoy reading your comments at the bottom of the pages as well! :slight_smile:

Chris here…

Here are some more completed pages - again, please can you guys LMK if these are all OK? Many thanks! :slight_smile:

These pages complete the Marvel Gallery subsection of the Original Comic Art Gallery - next I think I’ll work on the UK Gallery, just because there are few enough pieces (plus a bunch that MannyF has already watermarked) that it should be an easy one to do! :slight_smile:

Take care… :slight_smile:

The only problem I’m seeing is with the nav bar again, as when you move the cursor on ‘Toys’ it links to the Cartoon section. Also the links for comics and merchandise are incorrect as well. Seems to be the same problem I had with the Thundercats in the UK page I had a go at a week or so back.

Aside for that those pages look fantastic!

Oh, will probably be on Skype tonight from around 10.30pm after The X-Factor final if you wanna chat for a bit, Chris. Anyone else is welcome to join if they want to! It’s 5.30pm ET time.

I might not be able to go into the small hours though (but then it depends on how tired I am)

Chris here…

Hmmmm, I have no idea why that could be happening, for as far as I’m aware when I created those pages I used the same template that Kyle & I have been using for the Cartoon Section - I’m out of my depth there, I’ll ask Kyle to take a look at it when I next speak to him! :slight_smile:

Believe me, I know the feeling! :wink: I doubt I’ll make it into the small hours either as this week like yourself I seem constantly tired - but, I will try and make it onto Skype at some point this evening as it’d be good to catch up! :slight_smile: Like yourself, my Saturday evening tonight revolves around the X-Factor final - at points throughout this series I’ve voted for both Leona and Ray so I have no idea yet who I’m going to vote for! :wink:

Take care… :slight_smile:

UK Gallery index page completed! :slight_smile:

Chris here…

Apologies for the double-post, everybody, but I just thought you guys might like to see the (hopefully) completed page for the UK index for the Original Comic Art Gallery section - I’ve been hard at work on this all day and finally finished it a few minutes ago! :slight_smile:

http://www.thundercatslair.org/comics/comic_trial1/gallery/uk/index.html

I’m aware that the nav bar on the header is messed up, and have no idea why this is! :frowning: Otherwise it loads OK for me - please can you guys LMK how it works for you? Many thanks! :slight_smile:

Take care… :slight_smile:

It was cool talking saturday night Chris! I said I didn’t want to go into the small hours, yet I stopped on, talking to Jon until like 6am! Madness! I had about 4 hours sleep and got up again at around 10am to go out christmas shopping with my dad seeing as sunday is the only real opportunity we both had. Had to record Lost last night as I just couldn’t stay awake! Had a very early night at around 6pm (only getting up briefly) to start the recording of Lost and Torchwood at 10pm and then back into bed!

Loads fine for me :slight_smile:

Just the nav bar again like you say. Guessing the co-ordinates for the hyper link are off for some reason? I’m sure it won’t be too hard to sort out.

Chris here…

Ha ha, that’s crazy! :slight_smile: Yep, it definitely was great to talk Saturday night, we must do it more often my friend! :slight_smile:

Cool, thanks for LMK! :slight_smile: Here are the first few gallery pages for this subsection - I’ve had to alter the template very slightly to add a credit for colouring these, and one or two of these images are quite tight to the lines of the template - please can you guys LMK if everything loads and looks OK to you? Many thanks! :slight_smile:

Chris here…

Apologies for my continual double-posting, but I just thought you guys might like to know that the UK Comics subsection of the Original Comic Art Gallery is completed! :slight_smile: Please can you guys LMK if the rest of these pages all look and load OK for you? Many thanks! :slight_smile:

One of the most exciting discoveries I’ve made putting these pages together is what the first two pages of Tim Perkins’ unused pencils were likely to have been originally created for! Check out my comments on those two pages - hard to believe that two of the most exciting and unique pages of original ThunderCats comic art you could find anywhere are ones that we were already showcasing, with no idea as to how special they were! :slight_smile:

EDIT: Just to add, I’ve also created the first page of the Miscellaneous subsection of the gallery - again, please can you guys LMK if this page is OK? :slight_smile:

http://www.thundercatslair.org/comics/comic_trial1/gallery/misc/index.html

Take care… :slight_smile:

Everything you linked to is loading fine for me! :slight_smile:

My only advice would be to get the nav bar issue sorted before making anymore pages, otherwise your gonna spend ages correcting it on all the finished pages :frowning:

Chris here…

Excellent news, thanks for LMK, Neil! :slight_smile:

Well, it’s a bit late for that now, as since my last post I’ve built 14 more, LOL!

If you guys could take a look at these and LMK if they all look and work OK (barring the nav bar issue at the top), that would be excellent - many thanks! :slight_smile:

Re: the navigation bar issue - I’m going to contact Kyle and ask him why he thinks this is happening, because as far as I’m aware I’ve just been working from the template that I was given! :? I have a suspicion that the oddities we may be seeing here (bearing in mind that this has happened to both of us Neil, remembering the TCats in the UK page that you did for me) are because of working in the new template whilst the old one is still “live” on the site. I don’t know, I may be barking up the wrong tree, but that would be my suspicion. Hopefully it’s something that can be sorted - with the new-look site relaunch happening in just over a week, I can’t afford any delays! :frowning:

Take care… :slight_smile:
