The site seems to be under a lot of load. In case anyone (like me) is having trouble viewing the images, I wrote a quick script to scrape the images:

The naming format is "page_X_image_X.jpg".

EDIT:

Here's a video slideshow of the images:

This video illustrates his progress much better then the original thread.

Could you do the same thing for this guy: http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=114449


Here's the result of running the same script for that thread:

Sure. I'm running out the door, but I'll take a look this evening and post an update here.


Just out of plain curiosity, could I please see the scraping script?


Definitely. Here's the script:

Just let me know if there's anything I need to clarify.


Nice work! It would be even cooler if you added a timeline. :) (That or just simple text saying 1st year etc..)


Thanks for this - a video was the first idea that came to my mind.


17 minutes long. Wow.
