- A thread dedicated to helping newcomers reach the fullest of their avatar-making potential. Regulars of the AT have experience that others may not have spent as much time and effort obtaining, and we want to share the knowledge we have gained with those seeking it. This is chiefly happening now because of an expected rise in the amount of new traffic coming to the AT, with it no longer being a sub-forum. We want to provide a place that people can go to learn the standards of the AT. In time, this thread will serve as a document of the progress of a new generation of ATers.
Most of all, we want to have fun and welcome new blood into the place we proudly call our home. heart
- There will be a staff of mentors, which newcomers will get to choose from (picking their top 3, those three will then decide which of them gets that student, the top person getting priority). Every week there will be an activity, which the mentors will guide their students through. At the end of the week, all mentors discuss which avatar is a) most improved, and b) best overall. Once that is agreed upon, the thread will feature those avatars, also including a students' choice, voted on by all the students.

- a note: A mentor's job is to be as helpful as possible, and to help their student accomplish what the student wants to accomplish. We are not here to make people into ourselves, we are here to guide people down their own path.
A mentor should not say "remove this," a mentor should say "why did you choose to use this?"
