Bonaparte Posted April 3, 2007 Welcome at the pirates forum Maedhros! I love pirate stories and yours looks very promising. Great intro movie! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted April 3, 2007 Greetings Maedhros! Is there a great interest in stories among you Pirate fans anyway? I know there are among the Castlers at least... There have been some Pirate stories in the past, however the stories which were only text tended to recieve fewer responses. I'd assume that the big blocks of text were very daunting and put some off, but you might not have that problem given you've spaced the text with nice images.

Can't take some time reading off a story bewilders me, just because of a block of text :S . The Fightfor Forbidden Island Please do enjoy your stay here Mr. Maedhros :capn: !!! I've as well have another Pirate Story, but this one will becom a lego film [or collectively known as a BrickFilm] The teaser poster for it is in my sig :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted April 4, 2007 I've added the title graphic to the first post since it looks intriguing. Did you design that yourself, Mr Maedhros? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maedhros Posted April 4, 2007 Thanks for the interest (and warm welcome!) guys! I've added the title graphic to the first post since it looks intriguing.Did you design that yourself, Mr Maedhros? Well, I just googled a pic and added the Fallen part... not that complicated, remember that photoshop is your friend :-$ ;) And nice mist-effect there btw, ImperialScouts! EDIT: And to save some of my humbleness... I didn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scouty Posted April 4, 2007 Thank you Mr. Maedhros. Nothing but a Filter>Render>Clouds and a little layer transparency :capn: Photoshop is certainly your friend! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted April 7, 2007 Well, I just googled a pic and added the Fallen part... not that complicated, remember that photoshop is your friend :-$ ;) Nah, I prefer Fireworks because it lets me use "Live Effects" X-D If you checkout the Set Reviews then you can see my efforts of combining LEGO sets with backgrounds. Anyway... The Fallen... I have some time to read, so I shall do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Phes Posted May 9, 2007 Given that English is your second language you've done a terrific job! Even though English is my first language I'm always looking for alternate words to use in my assignments and the English language is so vast very few people ever scratch the surface in terms of the overall lexicon. A website I find very useful is Reference.com because it has both a dictionary and a thesaurus. So what I do is use the thesaurus to find a synonym then double check its meaning with the dictionary.
