Beast Wars: Future, and a Head's Up!

Superquad7 · 08-12-2010, 05:49 PM

Hey guys, while I think quite a few of you are aware of this project, I wanted to post another head's up about the discussion of the project going on over in Creative General Discussion (see the link above). Once you're there, you can find a list of characters that still do not have designs completed as well as the postings of the Fan Fiction story for this project. The goals are to have a lot of really cool character designs, a sequential story, and basically just some really cool artwork from you guys! Go over and check out the discussion taking place there!

Also, just as a general head's up, Creative General Discussion is for YOU! This forum area was added some time ago not only just for those who create customs, but also for those here who have Fan Art ideas, artwork topical discussions, and a place to talk about techniques, etc.

Basically, if it's not a project thread that's conducive for the Fan Art forum here, go to Creative General Discussion to post! Just be sure to affix the "Fan Art" prefix when you post a new thread. This is so to alert all of the members that the topic of the thread pertains to Fan Art. Think of this forum as your "idea think tank". Got an idea without artwork to show yet? Post it there! Are you stumped on a particular technique? Creative GD is the place for you [along with the Fan Art Tutorials]

Also, if you go to Creative GD and have a reaction of, "Well, hey, all I see are 'Customs' threads, but I wanna talk or find out about stuff with just Fan Art!", then you can also search the forum by prefix (which is the other reason affixing that prefix is important!). Just follow these instructions:

Also, I wanted to post this to offer some help to you guys regarding posting images. If you want to use Photobucket or a similar type of image hosting program, feel free to do so.

I would like to offer a suggestion to you, though - attach your images! I'm posting this for a few different reasons:

It gives you another option.
You can upload images directly from your computer's hard drive.
As long as TFW2005.com is up, your images show up!
It can save on the image upload time when others view a thread.

Again, this is only a suggestion.

If you choose to attach your images, you can simply click the "Manage Attachments" button in your post editor:

After you click that, you'll get another, smaller window that will prompt you to find and upload your images:

Simply find your images where you have them stored on your computer's hard drive by clicking the "Browse" button, click the desired file, and then click "Upload". You'll see your files show up just above the "Manage Attachments" button your originally clicked.

To get these image attachments to show up in your thread, you just right click on the image name, click "Copy Image Location", then put the image within [IMG] tags like you normally would post an image.

Included in this sticky is a YouTube video on how to make attached images show up as full-sized images in their threads, or appreciate just how unbelievably easy and painless it is to do so now. So, here's a quick little video demonstration, that hopefully answers all of your questions! If you DO still have a question by all means, let us know!
