Welcome to Gaia! :: Eye-Candy Inc. (128 users) | Gaia Guilds

Do you like to post or view images? Searching for a particular type of image, but your search engine won't spit out one you like? Need to find an image hosting site or other image tools? Tired of digging through commission artists in order to find the style that's just right for you? Have a love of Macros, and want to find more/make your own? Want to see some cool animated GIFs? Or are you just bored stiff and looking for a new webcomic/manga to start on?

Then welcome to Eye-Candy Incorporated!

At this visually oriented guild, we have multiple threads for the posting, viewing, and sharing of images by our fellow Gaians from around the globe. These threads have been separated into to categories to make finding a particular type of image easier to find, with a wide variety of pictures to choose from. We also have listings of various sites where such images may be found.

The founder has an contributed an extensive list of webcomics, online mangas, and related sites. Members may feel free to post their own lists in the selected thread.

Artists who commission their work through Gaia (such as doing avatar or signature art) are encouraged to join in the spirit of mutually beneficial advertisement. It is requested that those wishing to advertise in the guild submit a link to their shop and sample of their work

The Rules
1- Obey the Gaia ToS at all times!
---Those found to be willfully violating the ToS will be given one warning, and if nothing has changed, be immediately banned for the good of the guild! Those who unknowingly violate the ToS will be allowed to stay only on the conditions that they fix the offensive posts in question, apologize, and (if it is felt needed) make amends to the parties in question.

2- Eye-Candy Incorporated is NOT a porn/hentai guild!---While it is true that the name of the guild is Eye-Candy Inc. and that the founder may have *cough* 'certain tastes' in images, this guild is not meant to be your own personal palace-of-pleasure, guys. Explicit 'adult' images are a violation of the ToS, and thus forbidden. Saying this, though, we realize that not everybody in the world has the same set of standards... This is why we have the Guidelines and FAQ section, though. Read it.

3- Don't spam the guild.
---The guild is expected to be pulling down enough bandwidth without spamming it, thank you. Do not spam the guild. Excessive spammers will be kicked out. You are allowed to post (each one of) your 'bump' pics in the designated 'Show Us Your *Bump* Thread!'; however, this thread is meant for allowing you to show off the images you may use for 'bumping', and is not actually meant for 'bumping' itself.

4- On repeat images---Please try hard not to repeat images within a thread! If the image is a different size, has been edited in some manner (made into a banner/wallpaper of significant difference), is of better quality, or is the original of some work that has shown up that thread before, feel free to post it. People who are found posting the same old images time-after-time-after-time will be warned, then considered to be spamming the thread on purpose and most likely banned. If you are new to a thread, please try looking through it first to see if someone else has already posted the image. You will get to enjoy all those other images along the way.

5- Do not post images directly from Deviant Art.
---To be blunt, it doesn't work. Images from Deviant Art are protected against this. So don't even bother trying. Instead, post a link to the page that the image is shown on.

6- Do not direct link Webcomics or Online Manga. Our founder Gatz TdaMax on the reasons why
---Gatz "Many online artists get upset at having their bandwidth stolen in this way, and most of them don't exactly have lot of money to begin with. I also owe many of these artists a great deal of personal gratitude and respect for making me laugh, cry, and smile throughout the years, as I feel all people who truly enjoy their works will agree. Therefore, there will be no direct posting of webcomics/online manga pages or panels in the guild without very, very good reason... Like, say, if one forgets because the house they are in is burning down around them. That would be an example of an acceptable reason."
"That said, persons wishing to post said webcomics or online mangas installments are to instead post a link to that particular section of the artist's website they wish to share with the guild, or to the homepage of the site itself."
---Note---A number of artists have also taken the precaution of getting a software setup that protects their precious bandwidth from such leeching. So like Deviant Art, it doesn't work---all the time, at least.

7- Be polite. Play nice.
---Be nice to your fellow posters. Don't bad mouth other people, and if you are going to say bad things about their pics, art, avatar, speech, or whatever, try a bit of constructive criticism first. A little politeness can go a long way.

8- Try not to stretch the page when posting.
---It's just really annoying. Picture that stretch it just a little will probably be forgiven, but please post larger images as links only, alright?

9- Introductions and Profiles.
---New guild members, please introduce yourself and fill out a profile so that we can keep track of you!

10- Image Searching Searchers for Hire
--1--Members of the guild are available 'for hire' to fellow Gaians who wish to have the guild find them a specific type of image. To hire a member, send a PM to Gatz TdaMax with your request and a description of the kind of image you want. Gatz will then search through the profiles of our members and select an (active) member who appears well suited and familiar with the specific type of image you are looking for. Searchers are encouraged to use the guild threads and links as resources if possible. That's part of the reason they are there, after all.
--2--The service fee is 500 gold per image, to be divide evenly among the searcher(s) and the guild itself upon finding an acceptable image that matches the description given. If a picture matching the description is not found within a week or two, the employer will be notified and the job dropped. If the gold has already been sent in, it will be refunded at this time.
--3--Once again, Eye-Candy Incorporated is not a porn/hentai guild! If you want someone to find you that sort of thing stuff, do it on your own time, not ours.
--4--If you are joining/already a guild member and do not wish to be a searcher for hire, please state so in your profile.

( Due to certain problems he's been having, Gatz TdaMax has been forced to change the setting on his PMs to "Friends Only". If you need to contact him or have any questions about the guild, but are not on his friends list, please direct your message to Bleu Kat instead. )
