Talk:Isaac's paintings

Painting victim/fan theory

I'm going to throw a theory out there before I change anything, but... the text on this page for "painting claire murdered" states that the victim is Claire, but is it possible that it could actually depict Jackie? Or is there something from other episodes I'm not remembering? (A dead blonde cheerleader killed with Sylar's M.O., and that fits Jackie as well... I'm trying to suss out how time travel/prognostication works on Heroes, so I'm being a bit anal and considering the idea that Peter might not have changed anything at all.) --Drl909 05:52, 21 November 2006 (EST)

• The page needs to be updated... the theory was that the painting depicted Claire, but we now know it depicts Jackie. I'm noticing that the writing on Heroes really isn't that complex -- every other painting in the "set" has come true, so the writers probably intended the painting to be of Jackie. For now, we should change the captions. --Orne 09:05, 21 November 2006 (EST)

Painting Prophecy vs. Realization

I would love to show a T-chart (a 2-column table, for those of you who aren't elementary school teachers) of Isaac's paintings and a picture of the scene in which it was realized. For instance, something like this:

Isaac's Painting	Realization

It's rough, but you get the point ... So my questions: Any thoughts on how to best present this? Any ideas where a table like this should go? - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:31, 1 December 2006 (EST)

• Probably in place of the gallery. Even if we thumbnail them, the page will be huge, but it will be awesome looking.--Hardvice (talk) 22:51, 1 December 2006 (EST)
  • I agree, it'd be cool-looking, but I'd hate to get rid of the gallery ... no easy way to do it, right? ... How do I make all the pics the same size? Do I do 300px or something? (Sorry, feeble brain here!) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:01, 2 December 2006 (EST)
    • Therein lies the problem. You can specify a maximum width and height, but outside of a gallery, it's really hard to get them all the same size. But a gallery is hardcoded to be 4 images wide. The other problem with specifying a width is you have to keep it low or the page will render badly at low res ... thumb takes care of that by obeying a user's preference, but thumb only cares about width. If you don't want to replace the gallery, I'd suggest a separate page, but I have no idea what to call it. Isaac's predictions?--Hardvice (talk) 02:04, 2 December 2006 (EST)
    • The other (somewhat yucky) possibility is to create separate versions of all the images that are resized/cropped to match. That would look the best and give you the best control. Lots of work, though, and lots of more-or-less redundant images.--Hardvice (talk) 02:06, 2 December 2006 (EST)
