Website Artwork

I have started creating the graphics for the website. Sarah is doing the layout. We are using a still from the game, trees and mountains, for a page background. The menu will have a stone wall background with the wooden signs for buttons

All graphics are based on ones from the actual game. So that you will be able to go pretty seamlessly from the website into the game.

We are also going to look at having some kind of looped animated goblin graphic. Maybe that walks when on mouse-over or something.
