Welcome to the Art Corner
( Mod of this Sub-forum - Holyangel )
Feel free to post your art here whether it be drawings, paintings, Photography or something entirely different
Do not post other people's artwork, even if you have their permission, or pictures that have been copied or traced from other people's artwork. Also, do not create topics for people to post their art in - since the entire forum is dedicated to this purpose, these kinds of topics are redundant and just spam up the forum.
exclaim Photography: Artistic photography is welcome in the Art Corner, as long as you are looking for comments on the artistic elements of the photo such as theme, lighting, composition, and etc. If you are only posting to have people look at your cute kid/ cat/ self/ other, please use your journal or the Chatterbox sub-forum.

Ready to post your artwork but don't know how to?
Before you can show off your art to the other forum visitors, you have to make sure that it is hosted online. There are a number of sites that will do this for you for free, such as:
www.photobucket.com
www.imageshack.us
www.ourmedia.org
www.picsaway.com
www.tinypic.com
Follow the instructions of your image host of choice to upload your artwork.
Once you have gotten your art hosted, you can display it in your post by using the BBCode IMG tags - just click on the little IMG button in the row of buttons that appear right above the window where you type your post. Enter the link to your picture when prompted. The final code for displaying your picture should look something like this:
[img]http://www.thisismyimagehost.com/andthisismymasterpiece.jpg[/img] exclaim Make sure that your picture is in a web-friendly format Due to the relatively small file-size that results from saving images in these formats, the most commonly used formats for posting images are .JPG , .GIF, and .PNG. Keep the images that you post in one of these formats to prevent people who try to look at your artwork from having to wait to download gigantic image files.
exclaim Make sure that your picture is a reasonable size Large pictures not only take needlessly long to load, but are also difficult to take in at once and cause horizontal forum scrolling. Please try to keep the width of the picture you are embedding in your post at around 500 pixels or less, and if you absolutely must post a large version, add a separate link to it.

Posting Rules
exclaim not bump or spam.because Picture Post is not as fast moving a forum as some other guild forums are, like the chatterbox, bumping to keep a topic on top just winds up spamming the topic in question. Bumping and spam are needlessly disruptive to people who are trying to get serious feedback, and will therefore be deleted.
exclaim Stay on topic. Please try to keep off-topic banter to a minimum. Picture Post is not the place for casual conversations. If it is found that a topic keeps veering off the subject, namely, discussion of the posted picture, it will have to be moved out of the forum.
exclaim Be considerate of your fellow forum visitors. You are not expected to like every piece you comment on or agree with everything that other members say to you. However, you are expected to keep your posts civil and your feedback constructive. If you want your art and your posts to be taken seriously, it is a good idea to use proper spelling and grammar and to try to understand the feedback that is given you, even if it is negative, rather than immediately dismissing any critique that you don't like.
exclaim Do not post in topics from the later forum pages. This is called "thread necromancy" and is severely frowned upon. If a topic has not been posted in for quite a while, the person who has started it has most likely gotten all the comments they were going to get on that particular piece and moved on. Just leave it alone.
exclaim If you see a misplaced thread, don't keep posting in it to say that it is misplaced. Repeated posting in a topic telling the creator that their thread is in the wrong place does absolutely nothing to get the thread moved. Therefore, it can be viewed as just another form of spam. If you see a newly made thread that shouldn't be in this forum, you can make a post to guide the person to the right place, but please make sure to report it also. If somebody else has already done this, move on.
exclaim If you see a post that violates the rules, don't jump on the person who made it. It is alright to let a user know that what they have posted is unacceptable and that they should delete it, along with reporting the post in question. However, if someone else has already done so, again, just move on. Please do not respond to trolling, abuse or flaming - at best, you're making yet another post for me to remove, and at worst, you risk starting a flame war. Report the problem and go find some bigger and better posts to respond to.
If you have a question about these rules or feel that there is something that needs to be addressed here that isn't, please feel free to contact me and I'll will get back to you as soon as possible.
Happy posting! heart
