If the images are working for you but no one else it probably has something to do with how you're hosting them (photobucket, imageshack, etc.).
I copied a link to one of his pictures: (which gives me an "Invalid Attachment Specified" error). I don't know the root of the problem, but I can speculate that maybe he didn't upload the pictures to a public area of MTGS? I'm going to start working on taking pictures of my Balthor deck since it's mostly pimp now.
Hehe I understand that, there always people that don't know a lot of cards. It's ok, you just have to explain them (can get boring but hey...that's part of the game)
I personally don't like foreign cards unless it is 100% built of a certain language, which I don't have the money to do anyways, and it can be a hassle trying to figure out what a lot of cards actually do. I want to know what the cards do, verbatim. Lots of wordings that can change how a cards works.

Will try to get some pictures of my Ixidor deck. Working on tuning it still, as I don't get to play much, but it has a few foils I really am proud to have in the deck.
Is there any way to upload pics from a smartphone?
What I usually do is email myself the pics, open them on my laptop and save them, then upload them to photobucket or whatever you use to host the pics. There might be easier ways but that's what I do.

Wow, there is some really good stuff on here! I've been working on pimping out my main deck for a while now, but I still have a long way to go. Only 16 of the cards are what I would consider the best possible versions, discounting foreign language. I prefer black bordered old art over foiled versions, so I have a Fellwar Stone from The Dark and that one's never getting foiled. I did see a pretty sweet German version today that I'm going to try to acquire soon. I'm also always going to play a Duel Deck Anger over the older version because the old art is just so bad. Finally, in the list of "perfect version caveats" I also play the Graveborn Animate Dead just to make sure that I always have the latest oracle text on hand to prevent confusion with people who may not know how the card actually works. Plus, it's already foiled as a bonus!
My basics are all non-foiled full-art Zendikar lands, with the exception of one shiny M12 land. It's not even one of the better arts from the set, I'm just really lacking good land arts it seems I did get a good lead on some Un- Mountains and Swamps today, though, which is going to be sweet.
Just a question for everyone with these totally sweet foreign language all-foiled decks: about how long did it take you to get there, and how much time/effort/money would you spend on this endeavor? Was it a decade of slow value trading, or did you just go on Ebay and buy all of your cards all at once?
edit: also, I've been looking around to get my commander the altered-art treatment. I sent a few emails to some alterationists about a week ago, but I still haven't heard back from them. Has anyone had any luck with a particular artist or website and would like to make a recommendation? In the meantime, I whipped this little thing up in MWS:
I think it could use a little work making the rules text more unwieldy and unnecessarily long. I'm really trying to capture that old card charm.

Depending on what you're looking to do with your commander, Eric Klug or Ron Faris (Black Wing Studios) are both really good options.
I'll try and get on my buddies laptop later and get some scans. The whole phone/photo bucket thing isn't agreeing with me. It's only 40% pimped (after I get my mail in this week), and I'm already 5-6k in. It's true what they say... Pimpin' ain't easy.
I have a bunch of foils in the mail (foil grim monolith, vedalken shackles, mystical tutor, mox opal, a couple avacyn foils) but here's scans of what it looks like so far. I'll be taking out a bunch of the not-so-pimp cards and will try to update with better pics later.
My arcum dagsson deck
The general
The lands (by far the hardest part of the deck to get)
well, this is all I could scan before my buddy's scanner crapped out. Everything that looks like it might be foil, is... just in case you cant tell from the scans because they are double sleeved.
Also, my computer-skill-fu is not so good. Im not sure why he pics are so small, but if you click on them they will get bigger.

I wish I could do more Japanese/Russian cards in my decks, but the people I usually play with aren't very savvy on what cards do.
