The Antiquity Collection is now available!!  XD

This one is too large for a single zip folder, so it's been split thematically between Roman Antiquity and non-Roman Antiquity.  I think there may be more variations per picture in this one because most of FotoSketcher's filters seem to work better on things that aren't modern buildings.  Or something.

Anyway, part of me has been thinking lately that I really ought to be distributing the original photos so that people who do have artistic bones in their bodies (eew, that sounded much more gross than it should) could get rid of the damage to the pictures and/or the people in them before running them through a filtering process, but part of me is somehow very leery of releasing my untouched photos.  Not sure why, since they were taken with a film camera and therefore cannot have any metadata that could identify me (not that they could even if they had been taken with a (time-traveling) digital camera, considering they were taken half a world away from where I live) but...yeah, I'm still feeling pretty reluctant to release the originals for some reason.

(In other news, for the updated demo displaying the BGs, I redid my blobby silhouetted self-portrait sprite slightly, giving it a light blue outline so that it becomes more obvious as a sprite and less an extra patch of darkness against a dark BG...)

Anyway, I'll probably get to running the rest of the pictures through FotoSketcher in the next day or two...but as the process is weirdly time-consuming (my laptop isn't powerful enough, maybe?) and my motivation level is not as high as it ought to be, it may be a couple weeks before they're ready for release.   On the other hand, the remaining two collections are smaller:   Churches is only 5 pictures, and Scotland is 12...so actually that's not that much smaller.  For both of them, it's roughly on par with City Scenes.  Well, a little smaller, but close.
