It has arrived!!!


http://malazan.wikia...ki/Malazan_Wiki


The first window is waiting for you to open it :(

Why not leave comments here for our amazing artists - without all their fantastic input the Wiki would be a lot less fun!

Edit: I have added a spoiler warning to the title so discuss to your hears content as to what is what ;)

Hey it's a picture of Hetans family! That's such a great image!

Nicely done Dejan!

It's not visible on the mobile site, unfortunately. Egwene, I can help set it up so it works on mobile, if you'd like.

You most likely know this but some people might not:

You can scroll at the very bottom of the page and click on "Full version" to switch to desktop version of the site and be able to view the calendar

Thanks for the offer, Whisperzzzzzzz. Jade Raven is dealing with the technical side of the Calendar. I have passed on your comment so hopefully we'll get something sorted soon. I have to remember that your are a techno wizzkid when I am stuck next time - you may yet come to regret divulging such knowledge!!! :(

When I try to make the image larger by clicking on it, it brings me back to the advent calendar page. I'd appreciate being able to enjoy this work in non-thumbnail form :(

I'm using Chrome 54.0.2840.99 64bit if it helps.

Keep reporting problems if you have them, I'll try my best to fix them.

I've tried it out on mobile (i.e. the full site on a touch screen, the actual mobile site wont be showing the advent calendar, or much of anything really) and I see the problem, I think disabling the links on the thumbnails might fix it.

Obdigore, I'm having trouble replicating that. The images should start at 700 pixels on the minimum dimension and only get bigger from there.

The most pertinent information is whether you are using a touch screen or a mouse and high wide your browser window is (two columns with the Navigation block on the right-hand side or one column with it below the maps).

Edit: Try it out on mobile now, I think I've fixed it.

Why not? I'd bet a large proportion of wiki hits are from mobile devices.

I keep thinking all he needs is a barret.

For some reason, in my head, Staff sergeants wear barrets.

Excellent work CN! Were you channeling someone you know on the page?

Because the website, Wikia, doesn't allow anything but the most basic customisation. They basically control everything there, it's a bit annoying to be honest.

I am allowed to write a text message onto the home page, maybe I should say in it how to change to the full site.

I'll have a look into seeing if we can get captions to work.

It is indeed Kindly. He looks uncannily like a sergeant-major I once met, that guy had a fearsome reputation too.

I'm not sure what scene #3 is of, but damn, that's a beautifully rendered and textured forest! The dappled, watery light is luscious.

Perhaps a scene from Reaper's Gale? Looks like Whitey White and Kettle.

Do you mean beret? Because a Barrett is a .50 cal sniper rifle. Hard to wear one of those. :p

And yeah, he looks like he could be an RSM. Nasty looking bastard. :(

Indeed, the light looks just like real!

I think so, he even has little red eyes if you zoom in a little!

Reaper's Gale stopped my progression of the series. I have tried three times to read it and it bores me to tears so I was just guessing off the first half of the book. Mostly figured it was them because of Kettle. Couldn't think of another kid in the series (up to RG) that it could be.

I can say for sure that it is indeed Silchas & friends. I think I may have annoyed AT (who drew that) a few times too many with how much I love that storyline :(
