Title: Site updates
Post by: arseniy on December 09, 2011, 03:17:34 AM
Hello!
So what's new
+ new front page (http://theguardianlegend.com)! :bluelander:
+ new section - Gallery  (http://theguardianlegend.com/gallery/):heart:
+ the logo on the forum now leads to front page  :)

I need suggestions for separate fan art on sections by quality. At the moment there is fan art which is really good. Should be another section for average pictures and other section for weak stuff something like this:


(http://fragart.stalo.com/densetsunew.jpg)  (http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/ollirudi/guardianmini.gif)

(visit gallery  (http://theguardianlegend.com/gallery/)for something awesome instead)
Waiting for feedback and suggestions.
I will try to bring up more sections with time. Your suggestions for sections are welcome(for example "Music")


P.S.
I would like to find a good use for intro made by TrickyCC. Maybe by clicking the core of Naju it would lead to the intro but there should be some text. After we come up with idea I will try to ask TrickyCC to update the intro.
If you forgot what was the intro it's here - http://theguardianlegend.com/index-trickyCC-intro.html

I see some fanarts are found also on deviantART, just wanted to make sure that you get the artists' permission to post their pics since experience talking, most of them are  pretty picky regarding that.

But otherwise, i'm liking it :D

Adding the highest quality at first. Need 2 more sections. One for average quality pics and other for under quality - Sketches, amateur drawings.
For example I would_not add this to main Fan Art section with best quality stuff but would add to mediums:
http://realyst2k.deviantart.com/art/Mira-The-Guardian-Legend-210687169
Any suggestions on pictures I missed are welcome.
I have some more pics to add to the main Fan Art gallery.
P.S.
BTW anyone knows where is this from?

As for me,
previous mainpage was better 'cause it was a little more.. harmonical I'd like to say. This big blue ball looks... well, it's awful.
But I like new section of the site - I always loved  galleries, and this one isn't the exclusion. It's nice to have our own archive of the game-related pictures.

And once again: sorry for broken language.

Put the DS screenshot on google, only match is here one year and half ago, I suppose we'll just have to leave it alone... not even "similar images".

The gears and different flying constumes are on lots of characters. I saw lots of stuff like that.

To be honest, if you separate it due to quality, it may discourage people from submitting. If they fear their hard work and love will only be seen as Mediocre or worse, than you can expect those of even the best artistic abilities to be kind of on the fearful side of judgment. All fan art should be seen as a whole good or bad not to single anybody out. I admit some are epic, but if we shun those without artistic ability for showing love and dedication, we are in reality discouraging fan-based material. Maybe class it in a less offensive way if a whole lot comes in. You never know. The way art changes, the stick figure may be the next big thing. All I am saying is I don't honestly think anyone that puts forth any effort deserves to be tread on.

I thought sketchy, amateur is not insulting at all. I also put there alright stuff but drawn with pencil outlines only. It looks unfinished so it fits there.

Agreed. I may start a new project just for the site.
