WelcomeFor those of you who like to consider yourselves artists, or if you just like to make things as a hobby, or even only making things on occasion, this is the place where you can show off your stuff.Rules:☺No R rated stuff ☺Be nice ☺Follow the TOS of Gaia and the rules of the guild ☺Respect the opinions of others ☺Please don't criticize peoples work. If you have a helpful suggestion for someone feel free to post it, just be nice about it. ☺Don't steal art ☺Don't claim art is yours when it is not What is not allowed to be posted here, as quoted by Gaia's Rules and Guidelines:Quote: # Mature material: Any material that is sexually explicit or pornographic, or depicts excessive violence or gore is not permitted. Tasteful nudity in the art forums is allowed on a case-by-case basis, but on the whole, it is a good idea to cater to a range of audiences. Keep in mind that some members may be as young as 13. # Harmful Images: Certain types of graphic images may contribute to or otherwise cause viewers to experience an adverse physical reaction, such as migraine headaches or seizures, and are not permitted. Should your post or signature contain such an image, it may be removed. # Copyright Violation: Posting images that you do not have the rights to may be treated as copyright infringement or art theft if the owner of the image makes a complaint. Claiming art that you did not create yourself, either in the art arena or on the forums, as your own work will be treated as art theft, which can result in legal prosecution in real life. Attempting to use stolen art for profit is considered to be scamming. Additionally, art that you have made yourself, but that was heavily copied or traced from the work of others, or includes images or graphics you did not make yourself, may also be treated as art theft. If you have a picture that is not appropriate to post on Gaia, you are not allowed to post it in here at all. You must find another place where it is appropriate, and that is not here or in Gaia. If you have questions about what is appropriate, you may personally ask me in a PM if it is not covered here in the thread. If a user is found to be breaking any of these rules, a mod will warn that user and remove the offensive material.
After three warnings, that user will be reported to a Mod of Gaia (Not the guild) as it is breaking Gaiaonline's rules personally, and will be at risk of being banned from the guild.

Critiquing!!
What is a critique? A critique is when someone posts up a piece of art and asks people if they like it, what needs improvement, and how it looks overall. This can include techniques that were used in the picture, as well as colors, clothing, shading, anatomy, etc...
When asking for critiques:
☻Post the picture and say specifically what you're looking to have critiqued. If you want an over all critique, then ask for an overall critique.
☻If the picture is big, post it in a link so it doesn't stretch the page.
☻If someone says something is wrong, don't say that they're wrong and give no explanation as to why. Be respectful and explain why what they said is wrong.
When giving critiques:
♣Be respectful
♣Explain clearly when you find something that could be changed or improved, and why.
♣If you can't find anything wrong with the picture, but still wish to post that you like it, or don't like it, explain why.
Common form when giving critiques (Taken from Picture Post forum):
- One part praise: find something they did well and comment on it first.
- One part pain: identify a few of the major flaws and briefly describe them--there is no need to extensively hammer on minor issues, especially if others have already made note of them.
- One part prescription: give a suggestion or two for how to fix the flaws you pointed out, and/or ideas for future development.

Discussion!
We all like to chat, and a thread without conversations isn't very fun.
Now users are allowed to post pictures up here, and get reviews on them, but they are also allowed to chat so long as it stays on the top of art.
Example of what you can talk about:
♠Drawing techniques
♠Painting techniques
♠Carving
♠Molding (Like clay or wax)
♠Assembling
♠Making jewelry
♠Colors
♠Prospective
There are a lot of topics you can cover in art, and these are only some of them. Feel free to get creative, but do keep on topic.
Examples of things considered spam:
◘What you ate last night
◘What you did with your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse the other day
◘What your cat is doing, or has done.
◘That homework assignment that was due last week.
Really, I don't think it needs to be covered anymore.
You should know what is considered spam, guys.

Personal art sitesI know lots of people like to post their art online, so here is a place where you can post that site so people can see your work. Guild Users DeviantArt pages:SoraKatHow to get your page up here:☼PM me with the link to your art page, labeled "Legion Art Page" so that I know who it belongs to and where it goes. ☼It is not limited to a deviantart page. If you have another site you use, that's fine. If your site contains images that are not appropriate for Gaia, tell me when you request for your page to be put up. If you fail to tell me, know that I will be checking each page that is added to this post.
If I find even one image on the site that is inappropriate, I will add a warning next to that users page. This is for users who would like to not be exposed to images that would otherwise not be allowed on Gaia.

 Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.
Cyril Connolly (1903 - 1974)
Seeing as no one has posted in here, I'll post up a piccy. ♥

It's too big to post up here, but it's a commission I did for a friend and her boyfriend.
Kinda like the pose, but it looks real shiny. o_o
And I still suck at drawing guys. )=
but aside from that, I like how it turned out.
What do you guys think?I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.
Joan Didion (1934 - )

"Paranoid? Probably. But just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face."
— Jim Butcher (Storm Front) I don't have the gold to hold one right now.
Plus, this sub-forum is pretty empty...doubt we'd get more than one entry.
I was gonna wait till it picks up more. "Life is a journey. Time is a river. The door is ajar"
