This suggestion has been marked as "Added To The Game". Thank you, ξιίzα Ð, for the suggestion and to those of you who supported for making Equiverse better!



Right now the art section of the forum is definitely geared toward selling art, though not necessarily improving it. With such a big group of artists on here I was thinking an expansion may help new artists in learning the ropes and improving their artwork rather than just... selling it.

Currently the art section has the following sub forums:
Art Gallery
Tag sales
Other art sales.


I'm thinking it may be better to change it around a little bit,
maybe adding a Sig Sales section, or add it to the tag sales
Art Help and Critiques section
Art Wanted
and an Art Contests board, to keep art consolidated in one area.


Reasons for these being:
Separating out wearable art from other types of art would be very handy for those who are only looking for something to add to their posts. I know if I'm looking for a sig to wear it can be a pain to scroll through pages of character/adopts sales xP

Art Help is something I think is badly needed, perhaps could be merged into the art gallery though I think it having it's own section would do well. This could be filled with tutorials on various subjects (myself and a few other artists are willing to make some), as well as be a place for people to ask for help on how to go about creating things, post works in progress (and ask for help on problem areas), and also ask for critique on finished works.

A wanted board for art would be a place where people can state what sort of art/commission they would like instead of having to try to find artists and ask around through PMs. This would also be where collaborators could find people to work with.

As far as an Art Contests board, as mentioned above it would keep art more confined to the art sub forums rather than bleeding out into other sections. I think this may be appreciated by those who wish to leave the art section alone :)

Please leave your thoughts below!

Perhaps change it to:
Art Gallery (change description to make it clear this is also for asking for critique, etc)
Tag and Signature Sales
Other Art Sales
Art Wanted

I'm on the fence about an art contests board. Having all contests in the existing Contests board makes sense to me, especially as things like layout contest (which may involve both art and coding) could really go in either place.

I like the 'art help' idea because I need some help and I am sure others do also. For someone is happy to help then they can scroll through post a comment or PM the person in need! :)

I really like the Art Help board idea. Heck, I would even make some lines and bases for younger/newer artists to test on.

I could probably gain a lot from an art help board! And would love to get tips from people!

I love all of the suggestion! Especially the art help. I'm testing the waters of digital art and to get help from the incredible artists on help would be fantastic!
