New thangka images

**Fred vanderZee** · 18 March 2018, 05:59 PM

Haven't been showing (off

) my work lately so here's some of the newer pictures. Some of them are part of my project Drawing the Mandala of the Medicine Buddha.

Enjoy!

And if you like you can become my patron.

Incredible as always Fred. What size are these? I think they are quite large, yes?

**Fred vanderZee** · 18 March 2018, 08:29 PM

I paint most of them on A1 (about 60 x 84 cm / 23.5 x 33 inch). I export on 300dpi so it can be enlarged two times easily in print. The size in pixels is sometimes too big in Xara though, e.g. the one with all the figures on top of each other. I had to export that at 270dpi.

I have added some pics but there is even more detail in the final images than I can show here. All images and the drawing process are on my FB work shop - see my signature.

Wow!

I've noticed that on the new version 15, that there doesn't seem to be the 9' maximum size that was in previous versions.

Fred, those drawings are superb.

Thanks! I will check v15. That would surely be something... now waiting for 16bit colour definitions

Downloaded and installed v15, tried to open my files and got an error on all of them. Guess I am not using v15 any time soon.

Hi Fred,

Can you send me an example file to http://support.xara.com so I can see what is possibly causing this error? Version 15 should be backwards compatible so this is definitely not expected.

Thanks
Rob

I made a ticket, attached the error messaged, some system info and two example files.
After the upload of the files I got a "504 Gateway Time-out The server didn't respond in time" so I hope it got to you. If not please let me know.

Thanks in advance, Fred

Hmm can't see anything, how big is your attachment? If it's over 10mb it might cause a problem (although something more friendlier than 504 timeout). If so, try sending a ticket without your file and I'll send instructions back on how to send your file using alternative methods!

Thanks
Rob
