Since bios seem to be the thing to do, here's on for Mandarine.

Pictogram: http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/register/pictogram.php?usernam...
Favourite Adornments: Mandarine likes to have flowers on his head, since he's a fawn and can't benefit from magics yet. But he is looking forward to the orca set, magpie, peacock, and... well... just about every pelt and antler, to be fair.
Favourite Spot: Anywhere where there are deer! Actually though, I am quite fond of the ruins and the Crying Idol... there's something sombre and otherworldly about them. Being there almost makes me feel like I'm far in the future, long after humans have ceased to exist.
Language: Mandarine bows a lot- he tends to bow in greeting, as thanks, and as a goodbye. When preparing to leave the forest I always bow to say goodnight, and then go lay down by myself somewhere so no one thinks I'm ignoring them. Mandarine also dances a lot- dancing can't possibly be interpreted as aggressive! Rearing up usually means excitement or, more likely, part of Mandarine's dance (or trying to reach a floating deer, in once case). Any aggressive-type behaviours are in play or part of a dance.
Personality: Much like his player, Mandarine is a happy little soul looking to have a good time. I see no reason for magical immortal deer in a magical forest to be grumpy and mean when there's no danger of going without food.

Here's some shots from today:

Mandarine exploring the ruins


I loved his face at this angle! I only wish I could have gotten a closer view.


Let me out!

Oh, and Lieka, I forgot to reply to your comment before... I was searching for Deermuda around the playground... I'll have to take a screenshot of where I was.

Hello, everyone! I'm gonna teach you a neat way to give your Endless Forest screenshots a fancy new look. I'll just be covering the basics, so I encourage you to experiment and look up other tutorials on the internet for more tricks!

***I assume you have a basic understanding of Photoshop 7 or any equivalent program. If you need specific help, please ask me!***

Step 1: Shoot, Crop, Resize
Cropping and resizing your images can really improve your shots. The photo I used was resized from 1000x720 to 400x286! Once you have your image, you can follow these steps...

Step 2: Duplicate
Duplicate your image two times. You should now have three layers (see below). You won't be altering the first one at all, so don't worry about it.

Step 3: Settings
This is where we get technical. I have an image here to help you:
*
(the "Background" layer serves no purpose... I just forgot to delete it)
See the drop-down box that says "Normal"? Head there for these next steps:

1) Set LAYER 1 COPY to SCREEN
2) SET LAYER 1 COPY 2 to SOFT LIGHT
(You will not be working with LAYER 1)

Your image should look like this:

You can see how even a few settings can really alter a picture!

Step 4: The Magical Exclusion Layer
Create a new layer. Fill it with #09002E, which is a navy-blue (almost black) color. Set this layer to EXCLUSION. Your image should look like this:


Step 5: Fine-Tuning

Manticore here! I'm new and n00bish. I've done some exploring in the past few days and I have pictures to share!

HAY GUISE! This is me. I didn't understand the game too well at first and might've offended people. I'm sorry!

I got turned into a lamb. O.O

Then I became cool like the other deer. C:

A bystander who also got a mask.

My first gathering.

Graveyard visit.

A party during my second day. The stags there were very nice. Thanks!

FLOWERS IN MY BRAINS! Aaaaaaah!

Dance party I had today.
That's all for now see you in the forest! Maybe a bio and stuff in the next blog. I have AP exams the next few weeks so I may not be on too often. And please feel free to identify yourself in the pictures!

ö.ö ..

I've decided to move this to the new Life Forum.

I'm not even sure what to make of this place yet. It has to be one of the strangest things I have ever seen on the web. But, it's refreshing also. It's something totally different from what I've seen.

I spent a bit of time running around earlier. I saw quite a few other deer running around but I didn't really know what to do once I ran up to them. I guess my communication skills will get better as I spend more time in the forest.

Been playing as my doe(Kitiri) more now that she's an adult, I usually play her when I'm in a more solitary or contemplative mood, preferring smaller groups of one or two other deer. Usually if you see her in the ruins, it's because she's not in a very interactive mood, she'll greet you if you go up to her but will then lie back down. One exception is fawns practically begging for attention.....I just can't say no, they're so cute!

Some pics of the day......gotta have pics!


Kinda felt like a babysitter here.....maybe it was the flowers.


Anyone see where my fawn went???


Frog vs Squirrel...who will win?


Thankyou Sluggs for again putting me back together after a run in with the water. Kitiri meant to jump over it, not in it..........XP
