Yes, all good things come to an end.

Yeah, server issue that I won't bore you with but it's fixed now. It made me think though that I could add a blank one so that sometimes you only get two, rarely one and very rarely none. These things keep me up at night!

Are the images pulled randomly from a table in the DB?

If so can I submit some more images to the mix? Little cartoonized PNG catfishes, gotta love em.

From earlier in this thread................
The artist who created them isn't available to create more (and I would have to pay for them) so it's 14 until I redesign the site and possibly stop using them.

Same style? Well, I'm open to any offers but I don't want to offend someone who's tried very hard but to my eyes the work isn't similar enough.

But if anyone wants to do it, given the above, go for it.

They are copied into place every five minutes by a cron job which pics them at random. As has been noted, I'd be happy to look at more, but I might feel they don't fit. That said, if they're of a similar style and look good then I am all for many more.

Hey, nice effort! :D

I'm not sure if it is quite in the same vein as the PC pics but a quality drawing nontheless - worthy of applause!

Yeah, it could do with being a bit more "cartoony" but I'm willing to add it in if I can get it as a massive high quality TIFF file - it looks like it's scanned from paper, is it? Did you just draw this today - it is very good?

A new species has been added tonight. It's not a pleco, or a cory, or indeed a family previously represented. I've also added a random blank. So there's at least one new trio to "collect".

Nice one Rich!

Speak to canadapleco, he did the most recent one. They're all done digitally, I saw a nice sample L046 he did too. The next one may also belong to this genus.

What I really need is a massive, high quality, pictures of more species to do this with. The next one I had always planned was .

Platydoras is among the really iconic ones and would look good in the cartoon style. I will search my pictures for catfish profiles that might be usable.
