Re: Portrait Submissions - On Hold Until Further Notice

Morgan will try and hunt down the submission at some point, but can you describe the picture itself? There's the off-chance I just missed it when I was doing the uploads. I doubt it, but it's worth a look!

Re: Portrait Submissions - On Hold Until Further Notice

In reply to Whatsinaname0 (msg # 301):

I don't see a submission email with your name on it or even one received on March 1, actually. If we received it, then the only thing I can think may have happened is if you left your username off or similar and it was rejected, it's just now been long enough that anything in the trash folder would've been auto-deleted. So, if it was a rejection, I wouldn't be able to find it now if it was sent on March 1.

Go ahead and resend it, and double-check that your username is somewhere in the email. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Okay, I'll resend. I had my account name in the subject and description, but it might've just seen it as spam since I didn't type much else. It's a mohawked 20-something in casual wear. Thanks for keeping an eye out!

Re: Portrait Submissions - On Hold Until Further Notice

No problem. Sorry about that; there have been one or two that somehow haven't gotten through (or took 2 tries), or so it seems based on feedback.

As always, to anyone who doesn't see their submission added to the gallery: Remember to send the image as an attachment or embed within your email (not a link, ever!), and to include your RPoL username in the subject line or the body of the email so it's clear who you are.

Re: Portrait Submissions - On Hold Until Further Notice

Is there a way to view the portraits without going in through the Character Details in a game? Thanks.

Not that I know of, shy of inputting the URLs for each individual file into your browser's address bar. jase might know different, though.

Re: Portrait Submissions - On Hold Until Further Notice

hey, I just talked to Warrax and he said that he didn't get my portrait submission (painting of a woman with black hair and blue eyes in light grey/silver armor).

Do you know what happened to it? Was there an issue with the picture, or did the email not show up?

Re: Portrait Submissions - On Hold Until Further Notice

Couldn't tell you specifically. If you still have the original sent email, double-check it and make sure
  1. the image is attached as a file or embedded in the email
  2. your RPoL username is clearly included in the subject line or body of the email

Those are the two big oopses that people make, and if either of those requirements isn't met, it's rejected. You can look at the list of other rules to be sure whether it may accidentally have violated any of those (such as being a duplicate), but those two are the main ones that we see.

If you've still got the first email you sent and it's something like the image was a link rather than an attachment, just fix that and send it again. We can roll it into the next batch, no problem.

Re: Portrait Submissions

Okay.  Bit extra this month (last month...).  Did some file clear-out and an archive of the portrait selection as well as the usual additions.

I'm still in the process of doing things, but here's the update.

11 male portraits added. Demihuman, 17th, 19th and 20th century, casua, gangster, rugged and alien were updated.

4 neutral portraits added (Monster, Demihuman, Casual and Alien).

9 female portraits added (Demihuman, Spell-caster, Warrior, Casual, Rugged and Human).

Re: Portrait Submissions

Hey folks.

I submitted a portrait on March 24. I am fairly confident that it met all of the requirements for a submission, including listing my username and, you know, attaching the image. I do not see it in the current update. Can anyone offer an update on this?

Re: Portrait Submissions

A 20s-ish caucasian blonde woman. She has a white collared shirt (of which you can see part of the collar in the lower right). She is seen from the left shoulder, leaning slightly forward with her head turned to her left, and seems to be looking at something to the camera's right. Her head is tilted to about 11-and-5 on an analog clock.

Edit: it was submitted as a 4.7kb 100x100px .jpg file and the email suggested the portrait could likely be uploaded to female-modern-business.

Re: Portrait Submissions

I'm not seeing an email from last month's window that has either that image or your username attached, including the rejections. It seems like once in a while, the forwarding doesn't work quite right and the account we use doesn't receive a random email, since this has happened at least twice before, I think.

Go ahead and resend it when you get a chance, and I'll monitor and see when and if it appears and whether it goes to spam, etc. If it comes through, I'll update here and let you know.
