An Art design section..., Not a forum but like the layout sections Options

[pshaa.shauna]

I have been thinking about this. With all of the layout sections (myspace, xanga, etc.) We have a showcase. We have a digital art forum,which is like a showcase. So with that an idea happened, why don't we have a section where you can submit a peice of digital art, for other people to use. As a wallpaper, or icon, or whatever else. I don't nessicarilly think it could be used towards the offical designer status, unless you use every 3 peices count as one layout, etc. I don't know how good of an idea this is, but I just thought I'd throw it out there.

//edit//

Or you could specify what is what. Like, make an icon section, a signature section. Then with the normal categories as subcategories (abtract, anime/comic, etc.)

So it would be.

-icons
-abstract
-anime/comic
-etc.

signatures-
-etc

wallpaper-
-etc.

Then any other categories.

//edit//
signatures(thanks sprinkle-the-stars!)

[pshaa.shauna]

I added that signature up there too! I <3 you! You are soo awesome for making these!

[technicolour]

It's no big..really I didn't go to the game..just..oh blah

Besides. I can't find a good pic to vexel.

[br0k3ndr3amsxl3]

YOU PEOPLE ARE GENIUSI [plural of of genius..lol..me & my quirks] but i'm on the brigade!

[pshaa.shauna]

To actually get back on topic on disscussing this, how should it be presented. Like the xanga scripts, or like the layouts on the frontpage? Also, we should have a rule, that you have to save the picture and upload it to your own server, that way it doesn't steal bandwidth. That's just what I think, any more suggestions guys?

[Heathasm]

^^ i think it would be a better idea to have it sort of like when submitting a tutorial and have the image uploaded to the xangans server.

[pshaa.shauna]

^^ yeah that's what I was thinking. But if we get a lot of images, it could make this site run crappy, and more exspensive to keep up for Junsun. So maybe we should make it so they can't use this site as their host?

[technicolour]

You would have to find a pretty decent place to host the things. Xangans runs pretty slow...But hrmph..

I was thinking something along this line.

Icons/Avatars [whatever they're called nowadays]
-Anime
-Emotion[al]
-Nature
-Blah
-Blah
-Blah

Wallpapers
-Blah
-Blah
-Blah
-Blah

etc etc etc

We'd have to come up with pretty broad[sp?] categories.

Celebrities...Nature...Emotional...Uhm. What are the layouts sorted by?

[pshaa.shauna]

Abstract
Anime/Comic
Emotions
Games
Minimal
Miscellanious(sp)
Music
Nature
Objects
Seasonal
TV/ Movies


-------

Right-o. So people wouldn't be allowed to use xangans as their hosting place, they would have to find their own picture hosting place, which isn't that hard to find. WE could put up a link for the Big Book of Resources, they have a lot of places. Plus, if we have it like the tutorials, it would be easier to put out the credits. (brushes, etc.).

[technicolour]

Well maybe they could download it from the xangans server, but then have to go host it at imageshack or wherever.

no hotlinking.


cause doesn't hotlink make it go really really slow?


---
Categories: I think we should sort everything through those categories. Just to keep with the flow of how things work @ Cb...

[toodlepops.]

So, are we having a separate sub-forum for every category? As in a a forum for icons/avatars and sub-forums for their categories (Objects
Seasonal
TV/ Movies)?

You know, you saying that made me think, that's a heck of a lot more forums...

...hmmm

[toodlepops.]

Or maybe there'll be a whole art design forum and sub-forums for icons, wallpapers and stuff?

[technicolour]

That would be way too much clickage. My fingers hurt from all the clicking I do.

..not really but still.


That's a ton of clicking.

Do pretty much what sarah said.

ART DESIGN FORUM >> ICONS >> categories



Hm. That looks good to me. I'm just wondering how they'd look. Cause usually the things have individual threads, and that'd be tons and tons of threads.

I think you could have a cateogory thread. Like a Nature thread!




ohh...that sounds somewhat good to me.


++ And whoever they pick for mods better be good. Or else...I shall show my hacking wratch!

..not really..but I will get pretty dern mad.

[Heathasm]

yeah but if cb is going to offer it then it should be uploaded on a reliable server >_> like its own.

[technicolour]

Trueee..

But what if we disabled hotlinking? Where they could download/copy&paste it and then save it to wherever?

lmao..your avatar cracks me up.

THat is such a good idea! Make tha categories threads! Then the get looked over like the scripts and tutorials.

And then mods BETTER be good, I'm going to be uber mad if they aren't! Haha, I'll apply for a staff position when I get enough posts.

muahhhahah

yeah, theres probably a way to disable hotlinking to a certain folder. its just not a good idea to have others host it cause the link will most likely become broken

Your avatar is still making me laugh. No offense but you look like a blowfish. lmao..but that was prolly the point..blah

[Heathasm]

LOL thanks.
