I've thought about it... but the thing is, adding a watermark might give off the impression that I'm somehow calling ownership over the material, when really, all of the stuff on there is based on open-source data/images and even though I put in a lot of time and effort in making the document and airbrushing/manipulating the graphics, I've used the data/source images in the spirit of Fair Use. Putting a watermark seems to me to be against the notion of Fair Use. If somebody wants to grab the images and text and claim it as their own hard work, well, I'll leave it to their conscience and karma to sort things out.

I guess I needed a reboot for Picassa.
You're a good man Zulu. I don't think Karma is going to get you. Love the explanation for Zartan. Particularly the Hyperflexible joints business. Did you ever win any No-Prizes back in the day? |

Zulu, you continue to impress me. You gave us another Joe from Maine-Icebreaker! And he appears to have been well researched, having attended the Maine Maritime Academy and U ME Machias. Excellent attention to detail, as usual. Also liking Zartan and family, very plausible explanation for his appearance.

Slam dunk on the 'Noks, especially on Zartan. Seriously. You made all of that silliness work. Fantastic approach, especially in light of my favorite approach to classic characters, ie "Greatest Hits". It's like, I know you're crazy detailed and yet you still wow me with some of the obscure ways you make all of this stuff fit.

Here's a question for you guys: I'm working on a glossary of terms that I'll be appending to the PDF document, but I'm not sure which terms need explicating. Some of the stuff that's self-explanatory to me might not be as clear to readers. So if there are some unfamiliar terms, euphemisms, or phrases in the sample reference bible I've put up, feel free to list them in this thread so I can add them to the glossary. |

Awesome work on all three. Great work on the Zartan research BTW, I never thought someone could come up with a realistic explaination for him. One question though, does Zandar look slightly dark skinned or is that just me? I was wondering if he was going to do that. And I'm not too surprised it worked either. |

Glad you like the Zartan siblings. As for Zandar's skintone, I deliberately went for a tanned look, both as a nod to the toy (which was a couple of shades darker in colour than Zarana or Zartan) and to sync up with how I see his character. I figure he's the concealment specialist/survivalist type and he gets his fair share of time in the subtropical Everglades sun (as opposed to Zartan and Zarana, who are more into impersonation and such).
