These rules apply to the Your Art forum.

• You must showcase your art* in a single topic entitled with your username.
  
  • You may showcase a sprite comic or fanfiction series in a separate thread.
• You must only post requests for art to be used for cases in the art requests topic.
• You must give credit when using art made by another person.
• You must not use or modify other members' art without their permission.
  
  • This applies to the Resources Characters thread as well. You must ask for permission first. Assume all contributing artists want permission first.
  • However, if the artist is inactive, you may edit members' art provided credit is given. Activity is measured by forum posts.
• You must not be derogatory or offensive in responding to any art, but may use constructive criticism.
• You must upload art to a global site. Hosting sites, such as Pic-Upload.de block hotlinking images in the Asia-Pacific region. We recommend imgur and Photobucket.

* Artworks include, but are not limited to: graphics, sprites, music, etc.

Disclaimer
These rules may be updated by the administrators at any time if they are somehow incomplete. Every member undertakes to comply to the current rules each time he connects to this section.

Thank You Unas. I think you covered pretty much everything.
Also: CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. Though Unas pointed this out, I would like to say, if you want to say something about someone's art, please help it be helpful and understandable to them, so that they can make their improvements. No vauge comments please. >_O

I agree

One thing I was going to add though...

Don't post spoilers to GK in your art.
At all.

Unless Unas agress with spoilers tags.

I think it is time to update this, no?

What do you mean?

I don't see any need to change the current rules.

[*]You can post request threads if you want, but please understand that the artists are under no obligation to take your requests. All requests are a mutually agreed upon deal.

Should be this.

Fixed.

how do i add a sprite?

Upload it to an image server and use the IMG or URL tags to post it in your own topic.

How about a few new suggested rules, since ppl from CR are coming into AAO?

1. No Hijacking sprites. That means revamping the sprites and posting them into the original artist's thread. I've seen this done on CR a few times, and it's rude. I'm no artist, but if I were, I'd feel a little insulted.

2. A rule about using bases (similar to CR). I know nudal had said something about using sprite bases on his thread. Something about credit and permission.

Thanks for commenting, E.D.!

Those rules seem fine and I agree with you. I'll just reword them to make them clearer and them into the first post.

Well, I did have credit and permission... <_<

I know that. It was not in the rules at the time, and it wasn't one of the original rules established for this subforum.

Oh, I see

Tap, there seems to be an inconsistency when it comes to doublepost rules. Can we get a clear rule on that?
