Ok, since we have a toooon of Wyrms in the registry now, and I'm working my tushie off in spare moments, I figure I'd better open an official topic for this.
I've said that I want to put together a book about Cruinndrac Farms, and the Wyrms. It includes the background short story, info on each Type and Breed, photos, drawings, and specifics. I envision it as a sort of combo book/bestiary. It will explain details about each Breed, their habits, all that fun stuff. And I'll be doing sketches for detail shots, but ideally I want one or two good, clear, well lit, preferably outdoor photo showing an example of each Breed. This is where you all come in!
Want your baby to be the model for their Breed pages in the book? Think your little fluff can strut their stuff and strike a pose with the best of em'? Submit links in this topic, and I'll pick photos to represent each of the Wyrm Breeds. Mostly it will be teacups, as we don't actually have one of every Wyrm Breed in Standard and larger sizes, BUT.....if you have a larger Wyrm and want to submit their picture, please do! The more examples we can show, the better.
There are two caveats to this.
One, the photos need to be well lit, (natural outdoor light works best) IN FOCUS, and show as much of the Wyrm as possible. I'm specifically looking for photos of the little ones posed in their natural habitat. Think discovery channel. Pose them so it looks like an actual nature photography type of picture. This can include props, food, nesting materials, whatever you like. Unsure of if your idea is canon for the Breed and their habits? The fanfic section of the forums has a number of short write ups on different Types and Breeds, but if you have a specific question, ask me and I'll do my best to respond! Most of the Wyrms are pretty self explanatory, and their Type should help give you an idea of their proper setup. Mountain Wyrms, for example, obviously should be in hilly or mountainous habitats. But if you are unsure, poke me to check and I'll confirm the proper info.
The second thing to remember is that I do intend to try and get this book published, which means photo submitters MUST be ok with their work being included in the printed versions, and by submitting photos for consideration you give your legal permission for the pictures to be used as such. By way of compensation each photo will be credited to their owner in a 'contributor' page of the book, and if desired, I'm also happy to put a link to any online gallery you would like to include.
So, feel free to post links to the photos here. Remember to take your time, post your best example, and if your picture is chosen, have a 300DPI file available. I'm posting the list below so we can keep track of the pictures chosen. This will also serve to show good examples of the kind of photos I'm looking for. ***Please note, full body photos as well as closeups of faces are needed! So don't be afraid to submit both!! ***
