Fan Art & Images Update

Written by Kirada :



 

Hello, Balto Sourcians. I apologize, yet again, for my lack of posts to the Fan News.

First of all, I would like to inform you that the moderators are discussing fan image "renders." The current discussion is whether or not they should be allowed. The following is now the status for "renders" (what is not allowed):
-Unedited screenshots
-Badly modified screenshots
-Drawings
-Real photos
-Stolen images
-Images of creatures not related to Balto
-Images not giving proper citation.

Also, I will be running the Fan Arts and Images "corner" rather differently now. I will, each week, "feature" two artists (this is similar to "artist of the day," but not quite). In agreement to that, I will also choose a picture from the artists' galleries to feature, as well (this goes for both fan art and fan images, so I will be featuring four galleries a week).

I will also be posting art tips and guides, along with fan images, as I have done on this . Also, feel free to PM me any questions about art techniques, tips, or something you would like to be discussed.

I will start this "change" soon, so look forward to it!

Sheba: The second one is a "render," while the first one is an edited
screen capture.

ANY IMAGE TAKEN FROM THE SCREEN CAPTURES
OF "BALTO" AND EDITED ARE FAN IMAGES. By "drawings," it means things
you drew on MS Paint or by hand (or another program) that is YOUR OWN
WORK.

Well that's true RayJ....

But not as a substitute for real artwork. I prefer not to leech off
other's artwork and call it my own, hence why there's very few renders in my
gallery.

Wait a minute RayJ...You say you don't like renders but you do them
too!! No cruelness here, just saying.

Okay, Kirada, thanks! Er...what still concerns me is that I have an
avatar image of the real Togo, which I sometimes use in that capacity.
There is no writing on it at all, no alteration. So...Kirada...can I
continue to use that? Because I was thinking of changing back to it
soon.

I really don't like the idea of renders at all here, to be honest.
Then members start complaining that they cannot draw, and stick only
with editing photos which can lead to problems on other sites (mostly
because editing/recoloring isn't allowed). I think that covering up
the idea of edits with the name 'rendering' and making it sound like a
good thing isn't the best idea.

Perhaps it should be
scratched so that more people can and will actually try with their
artwork, and develop their own style instead of using the Balto
screenshots for a crutch, but perhaps not. Would it sound foolish if I
threw out an opinion of replacing the 'renders' section with a
'tutorials' section?

Sepp: Well, that's pretty basic know-how. But, I thank you - because I
know notice how bland it is.

Photos in relation to the
Serum Run, as long as they are edited, WILL BE ALLOWED. I'll be sure
to post it when I feature next.

Sepp, She means, you can't post an un edited picture of a real photo.
They have to be in a banner etc.

I like this. However, can you clarify what you mean by "real photos"?
I think historical photos from the serum run, especially of Balto,
Togo, Fritz, Leonhard Seppala, Gunnar Kaasen and the others should be
permitted in forum topics, articles, and other fan works, and in
avatars, signature images and banners. So long as no one is putting
their names or screen names on them, or claiming those photos as their
own.
