Map Data

Description Takes 12 minutes 22 seconds to load on my home computer, and 21.5 pages on word single spaced, 8 pt font, and times new roman font.

I did this differently than I usually do; I did this without making steps and submitting them to NUMA. Instead I decided to make this completely a surprise. Only about 3-4 people knew I was doing this N-Art, and even then they only knew at about noon today when I announced it on the IRC.

I started working on this 15 days ago putting in more than an hour each day (including load time) I did this in 12 parts, each time saving the map data to my email. If you would like to see all 12 parts, just PM me on the forums, and I will be happy to oblige.

I would be thoroughly surprised if this did not get bitesized within 10 minutes of me submitting it to NUMA. I hope you all really enjoy this because I put so much work into it!

I can see you put a lot of time and effort into it but its still looks really messy. I like the head (but not the mouth) and thats it. The rock has to much blue in it and it looks really messy. Overall i will give a 3/5 for effort.

Dude.

You're the Clifty of the N-Art world.
It's a freaking cheap rip-off. Gah.

I mean, go you for all the work and quality, but this is bogus compared to the original. The way Dragon_Moon blended everything was ace. This is timid and choppy.

Now yell at me for being an arrogant asshole who tells what only he thinks is the truth, I haven't gotten my fix in a while.

what should i say?

great work; Im a dragonist...

I could say "WOW how long did u take that?! 5/5"
but i will not. I say something is missing. i dont know exactly what it is. maybe the light reflexes on the dragon or so. It looks a bit messy.
the concept dragon and that rock hes sitting on... it wont fit really.

but thats my opinion.
Anyway a great job. ^^

last but not least:
thatsa 4/5

well

that's just akward

because it's basically the same thing, just a different background, essentially. If you make it incomplete, it at least wont count for your average rating, which I really think It shouldnt.

@maximum

what are you saying?

This picture has no door switches in it

and I made that
http://numa.notdot.net/map/90397 . your not sly. give up the excuses.
it is complete, I just made a second version because I didn't like this version as much as I should, but nevertheless it is complete!

okay

make it incomplete

or I will hurt you mentally

badly
=]

well, i wont, but you know...

Look at the suggestions in your Dawning Dragon 2.
One thing about this N-Art....



Why the hell did you put the dragon on a trash pile? (I know it's a rock..) NR!

you see guys

the thing is, i can't see the blue I am colorblind

@Gimp

that could be said about anybpdy maps wheither its action DDA Nart or anything really

dragons ont hover

they fly! thats why its wings are spread

I am taking out the rock, and am going to submit it again, but it might be a while

pretty average

nothing new comes out in n-arts. everytime you make one just as good as the last one you made, the rating must go down. because its no longer better than average. because the average went up.
I actually mistook this for AfternoonDragon Step 5 at first. xD It looked that much like it!

Without the rock...

What the hell would it be sitting on? Wow, I didn't know dragons could levitate. No, we're saying the blue of the thwumps doesn't match the coloration of natural rocks.
You didn't specify the version of Word. On Word 2002/XP and 2003, it takes 10.1 pages. On Word 2007, it takes 10.6 pages. Neither of those figures are remotely close to 21.5 pages. Obviously, you were using size 12 font instead of the proposed size 8 font.

Summarization of the major flaws:

1)Rock is blue.
2)Wings are oddly textured/shaded.
3)The texture of the dragon is minimal.
4)Not an original idea.
5)The sun is not perfectly circular.

I tried to sound professional =/

lol

MaximumRide pretty much dissected this map.

Very cool!!

However, the dragon could have a little more texture. That's what separates this from AfternoonDragon. But that's the only thing that bugs me!

4.5
Hmmm... my best map didn't get bitesized for over a week :/

SWEET

great effect on the mountain coloring, but the anatomy could uae some work, none the less 5aved
The thing it is standing on is not very pleasing, it is not original, and under its wings is very weird. It has its amazing parts, but it also has its flaws. Just an opinion we hold...

Wow

Cool.

5/5.
is this at all barely above average? thats a 3.5. look at the newest narts and see what their rated.

and hope the snipers dont get here.

Agreed, frogs.

Three.five from me too.

@ Why_Me

Do rocks generally look blue to you? I see usaswim also harbours similar doubts.

Nicely done.

This is strikingly similar to Afternoon Dragon. The gold pattern used in the background is nearly identical to Afternoon Dragons'. I'm a sucker for originality, and this isn't original in the least.

On the other hand, i see that you are a phenomenal artist,and i realize that depicting anything recognizable in NED is a worthy feat. Three point five

OMG

Can you say 'nerd'? That's f*ckin' amazing, dude! How many hours did that take?

The rock....

is kinda ugly.... Are rocks blue? Uhhh... and the underside of the wings are oddly colored. Meh.

4.5

DING!!

5/5 I hope that sniper doesn't get around to this :/ >_>

Um, mc_george?

it's a rock, stupid

54 seconds r-tard

just messin w/ u. i love it tho.

FIVE!!!!!

Great job.

It's good

The background is too similar to Afternoon Dragon for my liking, and the dragon seemed a little plain to me. And what is the dragon resting on? 3.5/5

wow that was fast

new record?
14 seconds bitesize

Me too, 15
