[Tina]

Thanks for joining us here on the Fan Art board!
We are happy to have you here and look forward
to seeing your artwork, or just to have you hanging around.
The official Fan Forum rules are topped in the site-wide announcement.
Please make sure that you have read and understand these rules,
in addition to our Fan Art board rules, which are stated below.
If you have any questions, this is the place to ask. Please read
and reply before you begin posting.

Please feel so free to private message either of us,
if you have any problems or concerns. Have a great time
on this board!

Your Moderators,
Tina & Theresa

• 1. Please consult this thread for an existing thread on the topic before starting a new thread.
• 2. Please do not quote pictures. It makes it difficult for posters with a slow internet connection to fully load their pages. If you would like to quote someone's art, please erase the image tags so that just the link is left.
• 3. Images larger than 800 pixels in width should not be posted. This will cause the message board borders in the average screen resolution to stretch, making the thread difficult to navigate. Please make thumbnails or post text links or your post will be edited.
• 4. Feedback is not obligatory, but it's very much welcome. I'm sure you all like to hear a word or two about your work. Constructive criticism is welcome too.
• 5. Lurking is okay, but posting is even better. If you don't have any arts to share, or don't have comments to make, please join us on the Off-Topic Chat thread.

Please fill out this form about yourself.
We'd love to get to know you better.

[Jenny's Dimple]

Wow, I love the OP! Great job Tina.

[sharmans]

Tftnt!

[PrettyAn]

Ahh love this OP!
Tftnt

[Tina]

Thanks for the compliments. I appreciate it. I thought the green and purple looks great together.

If you have any suggestions to make the board guide neater, don't hesitate to PM Rella or I. The board guide is for you guys.

[PrettyAn]

I don't think it can get much neater

I was thinking about starting a new thread called Artwork Admiration, where you can share the artwork made by others that you admire and/or love. Of course sources to the original work should be given, when you share a piece.
Would that be alright?

[Tina]

Anne: I spoke with Rella with this very idea last night. I, of course, love it. However, I feel, if a person doesn't give credit / proper credit that Rella or I would delete the post. What are your thoughts? Overall, I love it.

[Sweet Embrace]

I second this! I would love to have this thread, as long as credit is given to the artist.

[PrettyAn]

As long as credit is given, I think it is a good idea
What artworks did you have in mind? Just artwork from FanForum.. or could you share artwork from anywhere?

[Tina]

I was thinking of sharing artworks from anywhere as long as the credit is due and Rella has mentioned to me, artwork from Fan pop or the likes shouldn't be linked since they don't credit. Go ahead and start the thread if you like.

[PrettyAn]

Here you go:

Feel free to add anything to the OP, if you think there is something I didn't make clear enough.

[mefallit]

Hi, I have a question. I was thinking of helping out in the Fan Art Requests thread. Are there any limitations in animated avatar size (not the 100x100 dimensions, but actual k size)?

[sharmans]

Thanks for wanting to help us out

All icons incl. gifs have to be 39.1 KB, but preferable under since uploading adds a bit size to the gifs too.

ETA: Updated the OP with http://www.fanforum.com/f51/fan-art-...mage-63041130/

[Tina]

Hi Tiff! Thanks for helping at the Request Thread, your artworks were beautiful. I look forward to seeing more from you.

[mefallit]

Aww thanks, adoption pal! I'm going to try to find the time to do more!
