A notice regarding Art Topics

[Koshizu]

As you may have seen recently, the increasing influx of flourishing Yoshi artists here is becoming large and fast, with many strong talents from a vast amount of individuals. We admin here are extremely pleased with how the community has handled recent events, and continued posting artwork for others to enjoy. We can only thank you for your patronage at this time.

That said, an increase in artists also means an increase in topics posted. We here at Yoshi's Corner believe that all artists deserve their artwork to be seen, and lately a few pieces of art are either being -

A) Bumped towards the back without comments, or
B) The main page is populated with one artists' work

Both of these circumstances are saddening to see, as we all know artwork cannot be made without time, effort and patience. So for now, we are implementing a new rule which may/may not be added to the Rule Set, depending on how well this idea is taken.

From now on, if you are going to post three or more pieces of artwork within one day, you must either edit a current topic of yours or create one thread for them all.
This is also being posted and applied to the Yoshi Art section of the forums.

We thank you for your time and reading of this notice.

Sounds like a good idea to me~! Double-scoop ice cream

alright i'll keep that in mind next time i post some of my artwork on here.

[yoshicreator]

Yes, very fair and agreeable if I was an artist!

Yes, I know this is a huge bump. Sue me.

I'd like to request that when people post their art, that they shrink it down to a more manageable size when displaying the image in the topic, as opposed to a text link where that doesn't really matter as much. All it does it warp the page dimensions...

Many a time I've browsed through the art boards and came across an image 1000pixels or more in width. Sure, with a resolution of 1280x1024 its not so bad, but what about people people that are stuck with 800x600 or some similarly small screensize? More often that not the images are huge in filesize, crushing dialup users while the page loading grinds on forever.

Its not hard to resize an image...

_{yes I did cross post this, it applies to both the art boards.}

I, too, have a sort of request. _{Ironically, it's about art requests, hur hur. :B}

Please try to refrain from making any art requests in other people's art threads, unless otherwise asked for.

It leaves the artist under the pressure of accepting the request, even though he/she probably wouldn't want to take it or isn't currently taking requests. We don't want to seem rude and assuming, do we? If you are desperate for a picture from that one particular artist, PM them about it so you two can discuss it in private, rather than making it a public issue. Same applies for art trades.

If you have a request open to anybody, take it to the Art Requests section. That's what it's for, after all.

Thank you.


^{This, too, will be cross-posted as it applies to both art boards.}

Yes, I recently had that happen to me. I agree with Anjii.

[plebenshiren]

are there any rules regarding flash animation
you see i'll be getting flash soon, so may be able to sumit some of my work.
i, and probably others would like to know if there are any boundaries that need to be seen before something like that is submitted.

As long as it fits with the board rules, I can't imagine there being a problem with it.
