I don't know if anyone even wants this but I had an idea for an image site just for RPG images with tags as a resource for DMing and finding portraits. I finally set one up after discovering software that does pretty much exactly that. You can put in for example: "fantasy cleric mace male" and that should, once all the images are tagged, show every male cleric looking dude with a mace.

The content is just the folder of stuff I have saved from the past 3 incarnations of this thread (I'm not fully caught up on this one though). Might be a few duplicates.

Is this something people like and might use? I could use help tagging things if so. If you want to upload pics or edit tags you can make an account. Also let me know how well it works, or doesn't work if there is a problem.

I'm glad you guys like it. Also, an artist I showed it to is uploading a ton of his stuff which is cool.

Oh by the way: Anything which isn't a proper noun should be all lowercase and you can put an underscore ( _ ) between words if you want to do a space.

Also, the site is friendly with hotlinking!

Near the end of the time we set aside for the discussion, after talking about how wood elves wear their hair or something I jokingly asked, "How much will Skrillex hair feature in our setting?" Everyone laughed except Nate, Creative Director for the company and Lead Developer for the setting.0

I've been painting and sketching for a cyberpunk heartbreaker and noticed that I've subconsciously drew almost all my women with Christy Mack mohawk ponytails. I even have like tons of hair reference images and that's what I keep going to.

Wow, lots of images have been tagged.

Just for note though to whoever untagged all the images which had "Rykka" as the tag, that is the artist's name, not just a random person who uploaded them. So gonna add those tags back.

e: I put an about box on the side with basic information and messed with some other options. I don't know why the tag and source history buttons don't seem to work because I can see the histories fine elsewhere, will mess with that later.

Sorry for posting so much about it in this thread.

Every image has a source field where you can put the artist's name or a link to their website. Tagging artist names can be nice too since you can use that to get a big collection of similarish artwork.

Funny you should ask, I just turned on the report feature. It's on the left side when you're looking at an image and you can enter a reason such as "duplicate of #####" and it goes into a queue for the admin (me) to check.

The software checks the hash of images being uploaded so duplicates of the exact same file are not likely but I'm sure some got in anyway.

New stuff on https://ragea.net/rpgimg :

PM system, you can send a PM in a user's profile page. Could be useful if someone keeps tagging something wrong or for any reason you might need to contact another user. In your User Links (left side) it shows a (#) after your profile if you have unread PMs.

Favorites! On the left side in the image controls you can select that image as a favorite. In the User Links there is a button which will just display your favorites. Others can see your favorites through a link in your profile or you can go get that link to share with someone.

The buttons for tag and source history are still broken, didn't get a chance to look too deeply into that yet. It still works fine in the admin page for it so this isn't too critical.

Oh, also those random tags some images have which are like Qt63Ir were somehow added to part of the bulk uploads, I think it was the file names after they passed through Imgur. Remove em when you tag an image.

I think it needs better tags. but catgirl seems to be the only existing tag for this thing. maybe turn all of those in there into cat_person instead? I also tagged the artist unless that is a no no.

I aliased "catgirl" to "catperson". We have a few aliases now which just automatically change the first thing to the second thing if someone tries to use it.

This is what is aliased so far:

apoc apocalypse

armour armor

b&w black_and_white

catgirl catperson

fairy fae

fey fae

girl female

boy male

scifi sci-fi

e: oh and another nice feature of an alias is if someone tries to search for the "wrong" tag it will automatically change it to the right one for the results. So searching for fairy will instead search for the fae tag.

If anyone has ideas for more useful aliases let me know.

Please don't. I spend too much time tagging untagged images already.

Edit: Seriously. If you got the image from this thread or its predecessor it's almost certainly up there already.

Since 90% of fantasy artwork features caucasians/white people anyway I think we don't need to tag those, so I'm gonna go through and remove all the tags done that way. Other skin tags are good but avoid doing just the skin color as a tag so instead of "red" the tag would be "red_skin". Super pale skin would be white_skin.

Generally unless an image is overwhelmingly <color> it should be color_something instead of just the color. If it's a thing that is mostly one color like say a red robot, that should be tagged red so people searching "red robot" will get all the red robots.

Let me know if any of this doesn't make sense or sounds like a bad idea.

I think there's a lot of redundancy with magic... stuff. Like, we've got wizard, spellcaster, sorcerer, witch, and probably eventually warlock. "Witch" is probably pretty decently defined, but gently caress me if you can point out the difference between a wizard and a sorcerer. I dunno if that's something you want to filter or what.

Black_and_white doubles up heavily with monochrome.

Black (or I guess "black_skin" now) doubles up heavily with African.

Yea, it is pretty fantastic. I spent about an hour just reloading random pages and getting random pics to tag with whatever jumped to me first.

I can see this getting very popular soon.

I've been thinking about how to handle those tags because we do have a few which are emerging sort of like "classes". I'm noticing a lot of stuff tagged fighter (I aliased warrior to that tonight), ranger, wizard (mage is aliased to this now), witch, spellcaster, cleric and so on. Maybe we should settle on a list of archetypes to stick to and alias everything related back to those? Any thoughts?

Having more tags isn't a bad thing like having both wizard and spellcaster means we can tag all sorts of stuff with spellcaster which aren't really fitting for wizards.

That is a good point. A handful that I tagged I did everything that I felt appropriate to a type, like hunter then ranger or warrior and fighter in some cases. I also did some mage = sorcerer = wizard ones as well. some top level filtering as described seems to be the way to go.

Most of the images I just uploaded were ones I curated maybe half a decade ago when I was trying to make a custom Magic the Gathering set from a D&D setting I was futzing around with.
