Who would be intrested in a Art Forum here on BL? (Could a mod make this a poll?)
Choices:
A-I support a Art forum and would post in it
B-I dont support it
C-I support it but I dont think there is enough of a demand for it/would not post in it myself
I know we got the Gallery and shit, but, theres a couple problems with that.
#1 - "discussion" in the gallery goes as far as givin compliments/critiques of someones art, but not much farther.
#2 - it takes a long time to load, and un like threads you cant just easily go in and check when the last post was, etc.
#3 - cuz the post is delayed for approval, im sure alot of ppl forget to keep checking back on the same pictures for responses to comments, etc, i know i do.
#4 - you can talk about a specific piece of art but it dont get much deeper than that and it aint so much a place to get into specific styles and etc.
#5 - Iunno bout yall, but man, i get paranoid as a muthafucka about postin my art up here. Yall know how much internet stealin goes on?
I know im handy with Photoshop. Anyone with a mouse and 40 minutes of practice can go into a JPEG that has been tagged with a copyright and paint right over it without the average person noticing, without much work at all. Everyday i get scared ima go look somewhere and see some of my ish wit someone else name on it. so i get scared to post my good shit in here cuz of that.
I think if it was more specialized to artists n shit, then it would seem 'safer' or whatever....more respect...maybe not but thas just my feelings on it.
I love to recieve love from ANYONE about my shit. but have you ever drew somethin pretty shitty actually, with no real effort put into it, and someones like WOW THATS A GREAT PICTURE!
And you like...well, thanks yo....but sometimes you like...damn....i bet every picture i show you , youll be like "wow thats a great picture."
Somtimes its nice to get a review from someone who got a lil skill themsef so they could point out shit to you. I know if i watch somebody doin some shit I aint no good at, if they even kinda good, Imma think they mad talented and aint no way i would be able to give them advice to improve cuz i think they already good. But someone who is skilled at that, might be able to see some lil things that could use improvement and give advice from the point of view of someone who knows a lil more you dig?
So, I think it would be sick, to have a spot just for people who love/do art.
I know we got a good amount of graffiti writers on here too and i think that there would be a jump off spot for cats to share their work an shit too which shouldn be over looked cuz its a nice chunk of posters on the site.
We got Film and TV...We got Music....We got Poetry/Writing....So why not Art? only fair....We already got some art threads scattered around the site, think how much more intersting it could be if we had a spot just for us artists and shit to talk in. a home for the Share your art thread, the Photo threads, even , how bout (original made by posters here) JPEGS and GIF's and shit? Theres some MAD funny shit ppl come up with on this site and maybe there could be contests and shit liek for the photo bizness, for the more humorous less serious kinds of art. Even for when BL needs images for whatever , like the NSFW tag in the past, or whatever, it could be fun. there could be contests like every week they have the site banner look different just for fun and cats in the forum could all take turns designing shit. just to make it more interesting u know?
Plus i know there is also cats on here like myself who are into Comic Books and the like....so theres another thing that prolly dont get discussed as much as it could on here. Plus people in school could use it as reference to talk about famous artists and shit and learn for projects....People could request custom avatars or collabarate on ideas together , the list goes on , as far as the possibilites for the forum...
Well, thas all for now, but what do all yall think about the idea?
