Hawks Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 And since I have an excess of free time, I decided to make another random discussion thread. Ideas to get new people to post here: Organized list of tutorials; beginner to advanced, organized by program and style/art type - Also add more sort of... introductory guides to programs or sig making (like that one on DA everyone links to) Times Feature; article written describing the Gallery and everything about it, etc. More of about what type of art (which is everything except written things) we like and what we do about/with it. Perhaps about what some of the members have 'gone on' to do. 'Forum Feature'; essentially the same as above, with more content, like an interview, video, arts, etc. Then get a global announcement and sticky it. Speaking of stickies. I think that we could reorganize the 'Looking for an Image Artist?' thread in the Art Bazaar because the majority of them aren't active on the forums/in the gallery anymore. (I also just realized there's two 'Test your sig' threads...) Also it should be changed to reflect the fact that we can't charge for art anymore. (Unrelated) Geez I really need a decent camera... sig by Soa.....tip.it times.....art & mediadeviantart/flickr/last.fm/steam/twitter/tumblr/youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainy_Day Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 The Test Your Signature thread in Art Bazaar is there only to link people to the one in The Gallery. Also, I don't believe we've ever allowed people to charge fo art on here. It always has to be for free. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)RIP Michaelangelopolous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champion Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Just coming from a lurker of the gallery and not really a poster, I suggest some of you guys be a bit gentler on the newbies who post their not-so-great work. I've seen some most likely first-time Gallery posters get replies basically calling their work garbage. Doesn't exactly make the Gallery feel like an inviting place.

I've seen some most likely first-time Gallery posters get replies basically calling their work garbage. Doesn't exactly make the Gallery feel like an inviting place.It's the way people take it, they spend 5 minutes on a few splashes of brushing here and there and expect everyone to say it's a masterpiece. We give people c/c, and alot of the time it's the newbies who can't handle it and expect to be perfect instantly. We do try to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of my time in The Gallery, I never found anyone rude (it was where I started in Tip.it). But I've seen many users become offended at simple c/c. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about that, people aren't mean or rude with their c/c, it's just the users consider it rude and take offense.

Hawks Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 :P I just quit drawing things that had bad anatomy because I knew you'd all yell at me. So err...

Most of this has been 'we give harsh c/c' not actually anything that's particularly proactive. It gets better with practice, I'm terrible with anatomy too, but eventually you do it without thinking about it, similar to how you know a square has 4 sides, a triangle 3, you'll just draw without thinking with minor adjustments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsavi Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 There's gonna be a huge public hanging staged in General Discussion. But first there's gonna be a huge banner contest (RuneScapers only) to commemorate the event, and the one voted as the best (The one by the user with the most friends) will be set as your signature for life.

dsavi Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Now that I actually took the time to read the first post (:|), maybe we should have a contest for the worst signature. I mean, you can make something bad, but then you can make something that is well and truly bad that makes you want to scratch your eyeballs out.
