Okay, I've enabled upload on the Wiki. PLEASE do not overuse this. I don't have unlimited diskspace y'know ;]. Please use the upload feature only for illustrations to articles, and not for file storage.

Maybe you should restrict uploads to TXT, PNG and JPG?

[EDIT]
Errors seem to be occuring when generating thumbnails of images. See the Zerosaiko page, for example.

Restricting uploads to those types would probably be a good idea. In addition, to save bandwidth and storage space (and also because I think the picture is a bit big for the page) the images could be replaced with smaller versions.

Wikis support thumbnailing and resizing on the fly. Just use something like [[Image:filename.png|thumb|Some caption text here.]] or [[Image:filename.png|100px]] for a custom size.

On the side, you can use left or right as "pipe parameters" to align the thumbnail/image. To show a fairly small image in a frame without resizing it, use the frame keyword.

Thumbnailing fixed.

I would rather use nice renders for the mecha About boxes and put the hand-drawn images further down in the page (as 'Concept Art').

Tip: render the model in high resolution, then use cosplay to adjust the palette. Press PrintScreen, and voila! you have your image.

Unfortunately most of my 3D renders look worse than the concept art. If we used a big render of the BuruBuru, for instance, it would be obvious that it's made of Lego.

I don't know about mine. I've got three models, and maybe could make a few more (each successive mecha is done quicker than the former ^_^)

Well, maybe not so big, then--only 2 or 3 times the size of the sprites.

[EDIT] I added a nice render to the Vadel page. Check it out.
