PA Game Wallpaper

GruntyDewGruntyDew Registered User regular
edited March 2007 in Games and Technology
I didn't really like the PA Game Wallpaper that Gabe posted, so i made my own variation.
I know this is nothing that someone with minor Photoshop skill could do, but i figured some people don't have photoshop, so whatever...

    ... should we be discussing this or something?

    Seriously man, just a friendly word of advice... read the rules before you post something. I saw the trouble you had in the art forum, but here it's going to be much, much worse for you.

    I was just asking for criticism or whatever. If this is also a bad place to post this, is there a good place? Does everyone hate wallpapers?

    Since it relates to a game, my first guess would be to post it in G&T.

    Actually, no. Post it in the subforum devoted to this game.

    The RSPD forum is far and away the best place for this.

    I'm sure people would yell at me me because it's not about the game itself, just a picture. I don't know. If this gets locked I would at least like to know where i can discuss minor efforts of PA related Photoshopping...
    PS - I kinda missed that forum.... whatever.

    There's already this thread over there with boxart mockups and such. This would fit right in I imagine.

    The thing is, this place is for... discussing things, not posting work for critique (even if it's an essay!).

    The game forum would probably be your best bet, just DON'T go in SE++

    All I can think of is the G&T photoshop thread (if there's one going on right now), but those are themed events; not "here's my stuff, please critique it" events.

    I'm not sure we have a good place for random photoshoppery.

    SE is probably the best fit just because it's the off-topic forum, but they eat people alive there. You could start a general Photoshop thread in G&T (since PS is tech) and see if it takes off.

    Out of curiosity, why didn't they appreciate this in the art forum? Because it's a shop of Gabe's work instead of your own?

    We certainly don't mind having you around if you're going to give us something to discuss. D&D just isn't the place for this post.

    Yeah... honestly you haven't even come close to getting yelled at yet. People here can be brutal when it comes to stuff like this. On the other hand, it just toughens you up and you try again.

    Edit: The mods here expect more. If you really want some fun, go mess around in the H/A forum. Pheezer can be absolutely brutal there.

    I don't post over in the Artist's Corner, but if you plan to post in any forum, check out the announcements and stickies. Over in AC, one of those announcements is the rules. Violating #5 is probably what got you into trouble there.
    5 ) Post Your Own Work
    If your pal is an awesome artist, then encourage him/her to sign up and post the art him/herself. Don't post artwork on someone else's behalf and demand critique.

    I know you did the shop yourself, but the art is, as you admitted, Gabe's - not your own.

    EDIT: Also, they weren't being mean. This is the Internet. One of the requirements of playing on the Internet is thick skin. I'm sure they're sorry if they made you feel bad, but the reply in AC was meant to be funny, not hurtful.

    Lol, I should've said I drew that entirely by hand.
    Plus, if they don't like seeing that sort of photoshopery they should mention it specifically in the rules and saved me time.

    I guess...this is a thread about AC?

    OP: That response you got from DMAC was so "clean" compared to some things I've seen in there that is almost comes close to not being insulting, at least when you look at AC on the whole.

    Now, violating the rules and lying about it probably would have evoked some mean-spirited replies. Nobody, especially artists, likes people that steal credit for other people's work.

    Yeah, you should see them when someone posts about their new "interweb comic." Brutal.

    Be run what way? We expect new posters to lurk for a while and read the rules. Reading comprehension is sort of a prerequisite to be on a message board.

    And, to be fair, after your AC thread got locked you immediately started a new one that was unrelated to art in which you called people names and generally whined and carried on. We (much like most other message boards) are an established community. You adapt to us; we do not adapt to you.

    But i feel better when i just have to contend with retards posting rather than forum dieties that squish people like ants just for fun.

    I never made excuses for the second thread. I was being a whiney jerk, and? The rules about originality and photoshop/art are vague. Theres a thread up about some dufus's really bad photoshop Venom that is perfectly acceptable, it appears.

    There's a rule in the AC rules thread that you didn't read that says "Don't start new threads with no art in them." And another that says pieces that took very little work (which you admit about your shop) belong in the doodles thread.

    There's a rule in the general rules thread that says "Don't whine about locked threads by starting a new one. PM a mod."

    It's nobody's fault but your own that you didn't read the rules before making threads.

    First, i read the rules, but did not realize this would be a violation, my bad. In the "squash for fun" I was referring to peoples comments about how harsh mods are here not anything particular to me.

    Harsh doesn't mean they squash noobs for fun. It means that we have rules and they enforce them. If you want to know why your thread was locked, PM a mod; don't start a new thread calling people jerks.
