I guess we can discuss wtf moments here? It is a discussion thread and I'm sure it happens a lot among graphic artists.

Anyways, a few moments ago I was perfecting the lineart for a Tropius drawing and in less than a second I watched boxes pop up and GIMP shut itself down, and I was just about to save and hadn't saved it earlier. Life sucks.. This happened earlier to me too I was making a dewgong drawing and I had just finished and saved and I try to open it up to show to people and the file had deleted itself. (It is still saved however if I click on it it says that no picture is in the file.)

So has anyone else had moments like this?

Also, could someone rate the Chingling in my signature? I drew it earlier today.

I cant get GIMP to run on my computer, you lucky ... You ... Person

I have a WTF every-time I save something as the wrong type of file ... The colours get all smeared, and everything looks like crap. This happens surprisingly frequently

I only have bad memories of GIMP shutting down every time I made a banner. I can't draw with GIMP with my tablet. If I try, it freezes. =x I don't mind, since, I don't like Gimp for drawing anyway. xD

Hmm, the drawing is cute.
The outlines are kinda think and looks am little messy. =[ I like the shading could use more of a curve shape, since Chingling is round. ^..^;; I give it a 7.5/10.

Thanks for the critique! I do agree about everything actually. I wanted to use thicker lines than most Pokemon art, just to see how it went and I do think that I should go back and make them smoother. Also, I'm not too good with shading and I love when people give me tips and such, so next time I open it up, I'll see if I can edit it.

Anyone has an Idea to attract activities to the main Art Gallery Forum?

It's pretty much dead...
I have an idea.

PC's Art Pokedex Project idea

Well, I've seen a Pokedex project before, but it was used for Graphics. I think, if we make a Pokedex project for the Art gallery, it could bring activity to the section. I mean, I'm pretty sure people are bored of posting galleries. Plus, if you're having an artist block lately, this project can keep you occupied. The Pokedex has over 400 Pokemon, I think it's be cool to see many pokemon drawn in many different styles here. I think it'd be fun. =] How it'd be set up? Well, I'm thinking about artists making pictures, one by one Pokemon, or draw a picture of the Pokemon (and if it has stages) and it's evolutions stages or forms.

It's a big project that could use lots of artists to join! 8D What do you guys think about my idea?

It'd be fun to do this :D We could open up maybe three threads a week for three different evolutionary lines (like the first week would be threads for Bulbasaur line, Charmander line, and Squirtle line) and whoever wanted to could post any or all of the Pokemon in that line, and there could be a winner for each Pokemon that will be posted in a stickeyed thread.

I'm averse to this mainly because of the ridiculous problems we've had in the past with collaborations like this.
If you'll notice, there is a rule against these without explicit permission, so unless someone who's gonna be sure to run this thing without any hitch that'll get people complaining and whining like they all used to whenever we did pokedexes, I think this would be a grand idea.

But unless someone knows what they're doing, this idea could be risky, imo. :/

Yeah, I think that's great. But really? Permission? How and to who must we ask? Art Gallery don't hav a mod now. D:
We'd have to ask a super mod or a higher up.

I asked Hiroshi Sotomura if I could have permission. I just need to make some rules for the project, and he'll approve it or not.

This is a cool idea!
If you need any help keeping things in check I'd be glad to be at your service, Anstastia.
Thanks! That's be awesome! ='D
And the idea will be up soon! I got my PM awhile saying that I had enough rules, and that it was fine to post without asking. xDD;

So, be ready! =]

Alrighty, the Pokdex project WILL start next week. Why? I gotta go to Florida for a bit, sorry guys. ^..^; I have the rules set up, and the lists of Pokemon. I hope you understand, and can wait for another week. I would post it now, but then, editing would take a long time, people might have questions, ect ect. ^..^;

Hey everyone. I heard that dA made a new program similar to Photoshop to develop graphics. Their announcement is on their site (not sure if I'm allowed to post it but for now I won't).

What do you guys think about it? Has anybody tried it yet?

Haha count me in on that Pokedex project miss Anastasia.R.

Ok guys I'm like seriously blocked right now and we all now how much artistic block sucks ><. I wanna do a group picture using my main characters of my manga as usual but I'm fresh out of ideas for a good group picture. So here I am asking my creative brethren and sisters for any good ideas for this picture. I greatly appreciate it :3

@Eternal Nightmare - 8D Yay! Glad to see you wanna join in the fun. ^..^

Tune in Friday and this weekend! - I'll be posting the Pokdex project. Hehe, it's gonna take that time span, since I forgot to pack. XD Plus, I have to babysit. -3-; But, yes, expect it this weekend. The earliest time WOULD be Friday, but I probably won't be done and ready to post that soon. xDD;

What do you guys think about an art contest?

Of course, that question is really vague and doesn't take into account that we have to talk about loads of things like traditional medias vs. digital medias, experienced artists vs. less experienced, etc, but just throwing that out there, since Competitions has always been dominated by Graphics & Photography, and it's been a long standing issue to inject some of the other art sections in there. .-.

We finally got pixels, but what about the actual art gallery?

Richi says we should believe in ourselves. It should be fun so tats not going to stop me from entering as some excitement needs to be going on around this part of the forum. So I have the contest, hopefully, and Anastasia's pokedex project to look forward too :D

I second, third, and fourth this. G&P has always seemed to dominate (the one visual art category of PC that isn't stuff I'm into doing), and finally I can do pixel challenges again, which I love, but my real main forte is general art. Duking it out with the greats in another area I have some viable skill in sounds awesome!

I think contests would breathe the much-needed life into this main area as pixel art challenges seem to do to theirs. There are plenty of awesome regular artists here that may not do pixels or G&P, so a contest would give them a better chance to strut their stuff than doomed gallery threads. Surely it could entice talented people that don't even post their art at all to compete and get exposure, spark rivalries, shed more light on the presence of regular art in general, and of course have fun!

An art contest would be awesome. But I think it will only work well if "Style" isn't included in judging OR the judges have an equal view on all kind of art styles.

Jus' sayin' :P

Plus, we don't have a mod to confirm and accept them. D:
True about the style parts. Or, maybe, instead of just one judge, maybe we can have 2 or 3. =P I really like the idea of an art contest, but, are we going to make it weekly, monthly...? Well, I guess that's not so important to know yet. ^..^;

We need to ask the S-Mods and higher staff members while there's no art mod in this section. Ugh, I wish we had a mod around the Art Gallery. Maybe we could get our ideas approved to be made quicker. Well, at least we can ask for help and approval to the higher staff members.
