New from ALTAR: Cruel charmer

[Altar]

Cruel charmer, reclining Ottoman Lady of the 18th century.

Ottoman Court painter Levni (1680-1732) is one of the last representatives of classical Ottoman miniature art. According to Ottoman poets, beautiful woman’s face resemble moon. This lady is resting her head on a big pillow as she leans on one elbow. She has unclasped her belt, her eyes are closed, either in sleep or in daydreaming. This lady drawn by Levni is beautiful and she is aware of her beauty and charm, making her a “cruel charmer”. The colors are soft and lines are gracefully naturalistic in this miniature of Levni. It is so real that when looked closely, the soft movement of her clothes can be seen.

I\'d love to see a decent pic of this mini. I really like the concept....

Altar have a name change or get banned? (noticing the administrator title).

Not sure of the reasoning there.

Some sort of bug that does it, I\'ve seen it happen before, usually when news is submitted without a Forum post (the forum post is created automatically)

A news post isn\'t considered a \"post\"... so if he\'s never posted in the forums his post count is \"0\". Which defaults him to the Administrator title, don\'t ask me why... that\'s just the way its built lol
