~*~][:::][THE POSTING GUIDE][:::][~*~
~*~][:::][WHAT BELONGS][:::~*~
<::>Threads that promote your art<::>
These threads are to basically show off your completed art, and to promote it. Whether you're promoting your own website for your works, your myspace, your deviant art, whatever, these threads are for that purpose exactly. You MUST, however, post an example of your work in the thread, or it qill be considered spam. No thread should be created for a simple link... that's what the promotion's thread is for.
<::>Artistic help<::>
For unfinished (or finished) artwork to be looked over, and critiqued. Whether you're looking for a general opinion, or an all out, rip-appart bout of constructive critisism, these threads are helpful for all artists.
<::>Stores for your art<::>
Enough said ^^ please only post one shop, though.
<::>Artist Discussion<::>
For discussions of your favorite painters/writers/actors/musicians in the fantasy genre
<::>Artwork Discussion<::>
Your favorite peices of art (books, pictures, movies, songs) in the fantasy genre.
A couple general rules:
When you make a thread, make sure that it's not just a random title like "COME HERE OR BE EATEN". That's just retarded, and it's a real eye-roller. You can post the title of your work, or state what is wanted (Constructive critisism needed for a song), but you cannot post something such as "DON'T j00 CLICK THIS~!"
If you're promoting something, don't simply post the link saying "check out my site!". Post an actual picture of your work, or a thumbnail at the very least. If it's music, post a link. If it's writing or scripting, post a sample. People aren't going to blunder around a site without knowing what type of art you're promoting, or if you're any good at it.
REMEMBER WHEN POSTING THESE THREADS THAT THIS IS A FANTASY GUILD! THIS IS NOT FOR A GENERAL GENRE.
~*~][:::][FOR VISUAL ARTISTS][:::][~*~
(painters, drawers, photographers, digital designers, etc)
DO NOT PAGE STRETCH. Man, this is a BIG pet peeve of mine. If you image is HUGE, then either make a thumbnail for it, or simply post the link. You can also make a small image and post the link afterwards. Or link the bigger image to the smaller one.
Resizing images:
Right-click on the thumbnail or title of the image in your folder. Click on "edit", and the image should open up into MS Paint. Hit ctrl, and then (still holding down ctrl) w, and resize the image by 50%.

Posting your image:
To post your image, you will need to have it on an IMAGE hosting site. The most popular are:
www.photobucket.com
www.tinypic.com
www.deviantart.com
Though, please keep in mind that sites such as Deviantart do not provide direct linking (meaning, you will have to provide a link to the page where it was posted, instead of posting an image tag)
Then, you will need to post it inside some tags.
For BBCode:

For BBCode:
[img]link to your image[/img]
For HTML
Sites such as tinypic and photovbucket will give you your image url with these tags already attatched, so all you need to do is copy and paste.
Like the picture post forum, this guild does permit mature artwork (nudity and sexual refferences), though we ask that you put a warning for mature content in the title. Also, instead of posting pictures, please post the links. Violent sexual images (rape pictures), R-rated sexual images (intercourse with bondage, graphic sexual images, mutated/vilated nudity), etc, etc... is not allowed. Know where to draw the line, this IS, after all, a PG-13 site.
For a more detailed posting guide, you can get a general idea here.
Please note that all forum refferences of what "do" and "don't" belong in that forum do not apply to this guild unless otherwise stated.
~*~][:::FOR PERFORMING ARTISTS:::][~*~
(Actors, musicians, dancers, fighters, etc)
You can ask for critique on performance, composition, quality, ask for suggestions, etc. It all works.
Posting your work:
Well, for you guys it's pretty simple. You need to get an image, a video or an audio clip of you guys performing. In order to POST these things, you need a FILE hosting site.
www.photobucket.com
www.tinypic.com
Both of the above support videos, though I do not know if they support videos with sound.
www.files.bz
A place to upload mp3 files
http://rapidshare.de/
And a quick uploading site that you dont need to create an account for.
If there is any mature content in your video or audio (NO FRICKEN PORN YOU HORNY HOBOS!) please state so in the title.
~*~][:::][FOR WRITERS][:::][~*~
Please format your work for online veiwing before you post. That means that you have to keep the font the default color, or otherwise make it a very dark color (suck as dark blue, or a dark brown). Reds, greens, pinks, yellows, oranges, purples... they're all so hard on the eyes. I'd much rather prefer that you keep the black font. Another thing, is you need to put a space between each paragraph.
Such as the one I just put in between this text, and the other text. Please no random line breaks...
