I think it was more that each image was getting its own post, which kept on bumping the thread up, which can be a little "much." I suspect nobody would have said anything if they had been contained in a smaller number of posts (perhaps with some imagebin-style thumbnails instead of fullsize, too). Nearly 45 consecutive posts on the same thread can come off as a little spammy even if that wasn't the intention. :)

Understood. As nobody (with one excpetion) seemed to respond to the forum excpet to complain about it's spamming nature...i will cease adding to it. I do thank you for explaining.

Jedi's post was only meant to be helpful. He meant no disrespect.

I like the images as well, Viktoras. I haven't checked all the links, but please be sure to only link to the picture from the original website. Don't upload pictures to our website, and certainly don't post modified versions.

Posting a modified image, or uploading the original pictures to our site will definitely violate some copyright laws. As long as we are just linking to the pictures, we can't get in trouble.

The images i posted are found on MANY websites as free wallpaper images....so i don't believe there are issues with posting them....but then i've no idea what the laws are in that regard.
It was brought to my attention by a friend that some might think i was posting these individually so as to increase my 'Forum Rating' though i'm not sure what that means...if it has plz just reset whatever that is to zero if u like.
Beyond that if my posting of the images in ANY way is a threat to the site for legal reasons plz feel free to simply remove them or this Thread. Again I apologize. None of that was my intention. I'll simply keep myself to simpler threads and subjects. My apologies.

I think I like the 1:36a post on p1 the best. The yellow one with just the two eyes and the pop-up tattoo.

The 5:51a archer on p2, is definitely the cutest. However, I'm not quite sure why she's wearing a helmet, or armored gloves, if her body armor is so insubstantial.

Visuals: more important than practicality.

On 4:24p . . . is that her version of sleepwear? Plate mail underwear?

Hmm... .

Wow cool thanks a lot for the images! Please keep them coming. Nothing beats a feisty young lass with a fireball in one hand and a sword in the other.

Yeah the Asian looking archer pic....that one just makes me go WOW....looks sooooo real i think the artist used an actual model to pose for it...almost looks like a photograph it's so good.

not sure what ur referring to as the 4:24p one....i think our timestamps are different but i tried to figure out your reference and am still drawing a blank sorry.

4:24p is the largely greytone one, all other colors very muted. The angry girl with the spear, flanked by stone hellhounds or whatever.

On page 3.

The Japanese girl does look really nice, and I like her stylized... um... adornments, I think they look pretty interesting, visually... although I can't see how those tiny little arrows that look like long darts can be all that useful in battle.

...Maybe she only uses them to pierce the delicate hearts of young lovers... or something.

...Or maybe it's just an optical illusion.

Ahhhh that one! Yeah the actual title of the picture is 'Vengeance is Mine!' If i recall.....she looks very pissed off :wink: i had to do a double take the first time i saw it cause it almost looks like she's topless....but then you can make out that it's just VERY tight fitting breastplate.....yeah....interesting art for sure.

Okay...bunch more female pics (there are sooo many more of artists doing female pics, I wonder why that is? You don't think that perhaps they feel the female form is so much more beautiful, do you? jokng):
