I.Mage is a freeware drawing program. You can have a bigger colour palette than paint can have. And it uses hex colours in stead of rgb-colours.

2. You don't get blinking couplers and pantographs. I've tried to paste my graphics over existing decoded GRF files, and it perfectly works. All you have to do is not using the special colors. With other words: Paint works perfectly.
Ok then, but I will still use i.Mage :P

PDT currently has an "Available jobs" section, which contains/should contain available graphic jobs for someone who would like to draw something.

I've added my own Available job for the ECS:
PDT wrote: "European Cargo Set (ECS) wants artists for drawing European cargo carriers, altenatively we could use cargo carriers from other continents. Besides that, ECS could use some coders too. If you're interested, take a look at the ECS topic in the Graphics forum at TT-forums."
Maybe I can add some other jobs too? :wink:

You can give me the exact text to put on the website

It might be a bit OT, but why does nobody answer me if I post in the BR Set that I want help drawing and that I wonder if there's a list somewhere with all locos, units and wagons with pictures, if they're looking for artists?

Because we have several lists of what could be in the set, but no-ones finally decided. Maybe you should leave the BR set out of the website until we get a decision. Sorry, I sort of rushed into it :oops: .

Okay. The website isn't online yet, so these kind of mistakes don't really matter :wink:

I always found Image easier to use, I could count how many pixels high or wide it was in paint, neither could I find the basic shape, and I had to keep zooming in and out.

Could you put planeset artists and coders?
And expand the list's horizons?
Because I think it's unfair to only include people in 1 set when it's supposed to be a general graphics site.

And, if you need to put me up there, I need as much publicity as possible.

(ok, this was a big ego-boost but hey, can you blame me)

DaaNtje, you said you would explain me how to update my site, but you haven't done that yet. I will not be available today until 18:00 h (my time) today.

I've attached an update of the links section of PDT. Could you put it online?

(And could you update the site stats too?)

Thx.
