I was thinking about this and it has come to my attention that maybe a new forum is needed. Sure everyone wants that off topic forum but this one I am speaking of is more specialized. I see many of these \'sig test\' threads. Many are actualy people wishing to test if their sig works but in most of them, they are showing off. Nothing wrong with showing off. I enjoy looking at some of the art work used in making some of these sigs. So here is the question. Should we put in an art gallery type forum so artists can show off their work and also people will have a place to work on their sigs? I for one say yes cause it would be a great thing to have especialy for us, the developers. We need artists badly and this would be helpfull in finding them.
-
Its a great idea, yet pictures of pure beauty should be reserved for the shelves of the obsenely wealthy citizens, or otherwise known as a page on the site of main for PlaneShift.
-
i say no to an art gallery, we dont need one, thats just a tiny thing, u mine as well call it \"sig test\", and people should use sites like yoursighost to test there sig
-
I say YES!! I always like to see the pretty pictures people on this forum make. cause i know there are a lot of people who can make beautifull pics. I won\'t say any names *cough*meket,kada,nu sham*cough* and there are lots more sorry if I forgot any1. and maybe we could discust the art of sigmakin and stuff like that. and help eachother I for one deff need some help. besides my psyciatric help. i allready get that.

i guess you\'re refering to me, and my \"sig test\" threads..
i should say it wasnt \"showing off\" , i dont have alot to show off at.
what it was it was a test of how the sig looks on the board background. also, i made afew transparent pics , and wanted to see if they work propertly.
also, i wanted to upload the sigs to the people i made it for them, so they can use it. but i\'ve realised i cant upload every sig i make and write \"sig test\", cuz it will just be spamming, so i upload them to
http://www.geocities.com/nu_shams_sigs
from now on.
despite that, i vote yes on a graphics forum, because it would be cool to have all those artists around here (did u guys check outo Kada\'s extras page?!!) post their artwork, have us comment, and maybe even newbies who want a sig can go there and have some1 make them one ..
but you ops HAVe to know that if you make this graphics forum, it might not be extreamly active.. i mean its not like we upload these made sigs all the time =/
so i say, make it but dont delete it right after.
-
Art Gallery`s are cool, lots of pics. (Nu_Sham`s Pics Rule)
-
awww..
suck up =/
but thanx .. its important to me, cuz i\'ve only started my way in the graphics world, so im a tad insecure
-
Dont bother, your pics are really good so I should say so.
My pic (The one I`m using now) is also made by Nu Sham.
@Nu Sham: Maybe you could start a website....
-
hmmm yes. Maybe a official fan website for posting artwork might be better than a thread(but i voted yes anyway :P ) That would be great if someone could and would do it.
-
its been done, Kada is posting pictures made by players in her BBB site =/
as for me, i use to post some of my 3d graphics when i was 12 at my website.. lol thats all over now..
as for me.. i really have nothign to brag about
-
nu shams sig lick the sweat tht roll off the hair thats on my nuts.
il show u guys some mad crazy 3-d art shit, if i can manage to get my comp back from that fool meket..so since im the greatest i vote yes! ima show off all my stuff.
-
i\'d fight back buti have to agree, his 3d artwork is great =|
but my sig is cool too, stfu.
-
i think it would be cool to have a art gallery :D
hey Nu Sham...sup man?
-
me and a friend just made this pic...u like?
-
I say no, There are a lot of sig test etc. but for them they can use kada\'s BBB. Plus an Off topic forum would be good for some *cough* wolfman *cough people :P
-
@kodin me like
I still say YES!
-
Can i just ask what the address is to Kada\'s sig page
-
You can get to it from the link in her sig
-
@kodin - yo lol.. whats been up with you man, how come you dont come to the irc chatroom? and the sig is cool , REALLY cool dragon =)
@mortis: your sig is cool too, really nice work... the link to kada\'s site is members.aol.com/kadael/main.html
-

Alot of things are small on forums like this forum and roleplaying we dont really need those forums but we got it and it isnt really that much trouble to get another forum
-

-I feel that a art Forum would be the most valuable addition to this board right now. there are a couple of reasons.
1. Almost all of us have something that we want other people to see
2. All of us could use input and suggestions
3. Most people would like to see what ametuer artists are doing
4. It gives people an opportunity to comunicate with the artists
5. Not every one has any one to critique their work
6. People can request help and tutorials
7. There are posts about user art all over the place and it is difficult to come to this board and find them all quickly and easily
8. People could ask to have pieces made for them
-There are a few reasons that i dont think that posting elsewhere is popular, or practical and why user sites can be difficult.
1. The BBB has very few artist to view
2. It takes time for things to be posted
3. It is possible to be denied
4. It is difficult if not impossible to ask for help or request a piece to be made
5. You cannot see what other people are saying
6. It is easier to make a user site to simply get your pics on the web to post them here than it is to make one that is easy to find and pleasing to look at.
-it is obvious that i feel there should be an art forum.
-In this post i did not mean to offend any one or discredit The BBB, or user sites. The BBB is a wonderful site that displays very good art. It is also a better site that i could make.
-
If any one is up to making a user site that is accesible to all a very good example of a sit that alows comments can be found here,

Well until someone does come up with something better I will continue to host fan art on my site. Great work from three new artists have gone up today and I would welcome work from anyone who would like to host art there - I will update as quickly as I can. I realise that the format is not what it could be, I will work towards something better - this is my first attempt at a web site, I have lots to learn and the site is still under development.
The forum on my site has been used by many people to get feed-back on their art work and also to make requests of artists for personal signatures and guild art etc. So communication is entirely possible and seems to be working fine to me, we\'ve had some great works produced because of it. If there is a real need then I am happy to create a dedicated board on my forum for art posting, questions and topics. I am happy to help however I can and am always open to suggestions, tips and ideas.
