[QUOTE="Magi_Siani, post: 2854112, member: 34597"] I've been thinking about this for a bit. Here are some ideas I have and feedback is sought. 1) All pictures must conform to the setting restrictions for whichever setting the character is in and regardless of where they are stored. 2) Graphics may be posted as found with the following requirements: For the settings with restrictions disclaimers are noticeably made that any attributes the graphic shows that are violations of the setting rules are not present when the character is in that setting. This would be true of setting restrictions for other settings. This is sort of like "Tavern description" or "Rotunda Description" as is often done in text forms when people have several looks to one character. Bhryn, if I may use her as an example, would be fully winged in all her glory in Sigil...but would have a separate tavern dessie for when she is there without those wings. Instead of doing it entirely in text you are showing a graphic and noting in obvious manner what bits are not present when the character is in a restricted setting. Reading a description is the responsibility of the individual, but do note that the Magi are required to read them. 3) Links may be made to graphics stored elsewhere as they are with a note that any elements that are not allowed in a giving setting are not present when the character is in that setting. Graphics actually in the description must conform to whatever setting restrictions apply to the room the character is in. These are the three I have come up with so far. Let's hear comments. As Trelian has noted, graphics for dessies are a new thing for us so it's going to take some time to shake things out. As was noted by another patron, it isn't always easy to come up with a graphic for your character, though graphics are purely a player choice. I haven't got a picture of Siani and it's been...oh...over 30 years. So yes, it can be hard and most artists want compensation. Siani [/QUOTE]
