Since no one's objected the name is Imagecrafters. I really want to design one now that we got the 6 people minimum, but time just ran out this week seeing as how i'm going on a trip. I should be back sunday night. I'll still be able to access the forums, just not this computer which has my art programs on it so i wont be able to make anything. If your willing to wait i'll be glad to make one for you as well.
Votan: If you want to make our banner you gotta join! :tongue2: :tongue2: :tongue2:

Hey ya. I happen to be an artist as well, but happen to be one of the earlier members of the Meh Clan. Mind if I hook up as an official friend of the Imagecrafters?

i'm not sure votan but thanks for advertising us out there. **adds more to signature** i'll need to advertise too.
also. youkai. since i know your the backround man, i was thinking, how bout you and me hook up on the banner thing. i mean like i make the layers you make the backround and all of us collab on idea's? then if we all like the banner, i can put it together on my com (i'd have to merge the layers or at least flatten them if i sent em to youkai so it'd be easier for him to send me the backround.
image crafters is a good name. not too cheesy and not incredibly dumb (looks at banana clan) whoops i didn't mean that guys.... really...lol
and votan as a last show of good faith i'd like to be a freind of project mayhem since your our clans friend.
and i think i covered the basics **goes into shop** i'll make some possibilities for a banner. highly editable of course.

Don't have much to say right now, but I did make a wallpaper in photoshop last night.
Photoshopping is one of my favorite things to do
Oh yeah, I also design mods for Doom 2 under a source port (aka an engine enhancment) called JDoom, and was one of the mappers for a team of people that ported Doom64 to the PC, including new maps and monsters.
(That's the map I'm currently working on for a project called "Scourge", for Doom 2)
(That was one of the maps I designed for it that were brand new rather than ported from Doom64. Those things you see flying are darts)

Just add me on msn if you have any questions or just want to talk
I wont be able to do any art till monday (away from my computer with my art programs) but i still gotta make the to do/done list.
#1: Votan, thanks for advertising. This also goes to any other members/friends. Please put us in your sig. Just a couple words till we have an official logo.
#2: Slavan K. Guiser, Twinkee, Xenphire. Unless any other recruit has any objections, we'd be more than happy to have you as our friends. I realize some might feel kind of wierd having about as many friends as members, but at this stage, i think we need all the support we can get.
#3: Nan: Thanks :grin2:, but it just wouldnt be me if i used someone elses sig...srry.
#4: Pita, dont worry about it, theres a list of recruits at the top, also i'm talking to about 3 other people through pm's and they seem interested. Not gonna pressure them by giving names though.
#5: Ok, main idea of this post. Since this is an art clan, I figure we should have an art contest to decide the clan logo. Its open to all members and friends of ImageCrafters. What I'm lookin for: Something that will fit in a sig (obviously) but not an entire sig in itself. Like the other clans, its more of an add-on that can be added to each other person's idea. Thats gonna be the whole limit i put on it, and after people have sent in their nominees we can vote on the official winner and clan logo for ImageCrafters. There will be no limit to the number of entries a person can submit, the more choices we have, the better the final product. This goes to PlanesJayWalker and other members who don't have the computer programs, or that draw by hand. If you want you can give your ideas, designs to someone that does and still take the credit, or you can even enter them and when its over someone can edit them on the computer so its possible to use them in sigs.
This sounds like a really cool and fun clan idea, but since I'm already a member of FFFB, I'd still like to apply as a friend of the clan.
I've been drawing as far back as I can remember and I also like to paint and mess around in Photoshop. I don't have a scanner right now, so I don't have a lot of examples of my work, but if anyone's interested, I might be able to find some decent pictures on my computer somewhere.

I would like to see some of your artwork. I think ppl's art tell a lot about them, so i always like to see things made by ppl I know (or sort of know :)). Besides it's always interesting to look at a beautiful drawing
Cool. Well, while my friendship is pending, here's one of the few pieces I have on my computer at the moment:

Oh, sure, as long as you credit me for it, I have no problem with you using it. I'd actually be really interested to see what you can come up with.
It might help to know that it is an abstract representation of a face expressing the "transition" from one emotional state to another. I have a ton of these, most of which are representative of some kind of emotion or state of being (I did a series on the "seven deadly sins" which turned out really cool).

extremeicon- thanks for the interest...friend :grin2:
Legacy- nice work, but not really what I'm looking for. Its usable though, if it was a logo, the only thing we'd want is that text "image crafters" The rest of the background would be ignored, but you can still use it to show how it would fit. I'll give an example of what i'm talking about monday. For now that, please post your entries in the contest thread.
Pita- Thanks for posting in the Clan HQ
EVERYONE- We need titles, specifically Leader and Representative. NOTE: All of this is up for voting, just say something. I don't want to sound selfish, but seeing as how i started it, I think i should be the leader, so I'm nominating myself in that category. For Representative I'm nominating Legacy_15 because he's always the first person to see a lot of stuff on the boards, though he hasnt posted much he is always on, I can tell because he's the most active in our avatar shop. Any other titles you think we should have then please bring them up. Also, the nominees aren't official till we have a few more people backing them. I'm not gonna run this like a dictatorship, so if a lot of people agree that I'm not a good candidate then i'll step down and let the popular vote take over if he/she wishes. So if you think me and Legacy should get the positions, or if you think someone else should PLEASE SAY SO! Don't worry about hurting anyone's feelings. Please try to speak up and often too. I'm hoping you joined this clan cuz you wanted to be heard by others with similar interests. You have a strong voice in here. This is an online clan, we're friends now .

i'm not against being rep. i can do a good job methinks. and i'll back youkai for leader. on getc i watched this guy come up from acolyte to plainswalker (highest rank anyone has achieved over at getc without being mod) and i know he can do good leading this clan. so there's my reason to see him be leader. he never got a good leadership role on getc. I think he deserves this.

ok seriously i've been bored out of my skull today and almost like i was a machine i opened up my photoshop and animation shop and out popped this final product
the black.......thing, is supposed to be my grade 7 logo for a project we had to do (make our own music band) anyway that was my logo. i drew it and then i couldn't find anything to do to it so i erased it. with a right slash eraser (cus i used it to do the cuts on the logo) and those small black lines showed up so i erased all of it peice by peice like that and i got a skeletal kinda looking thing for the logo. then i just erased all of it one part at a time and then added the frames from end to start and ended up with that animation and i added text.
i had no idea what i was doing. looks kinda cool though
extremeicon: hey friend lol.

*Llama decides to de-lurk briefly* Hello y'all. I was going to post a couple of my 2D, Magic-related projects-in-progress and ask opinions, but the computer my scanner is attatched to decided to go on strike. So I'm posting one of my dolls instead (even though it isn't Magic related, sorry), to see what people think of it and as a "hello, this is my style" type post. She's Spring, part of a series of dryads I'm working on. *crosses fingers and attempts attaching the pic* What d'ya think?
youkai_blood, you've got my vote for your suggestions for leader/rep, much as the vote of someone as quiet as me counts.
Cool little animation Legacy. I really admire the patience it takes to make animations. I tried animating something once... breifly... and quickly went back to my watercolors and clay.
I'd also like to ask everyone what their favorite book or article about art is. I don't know many worth mentioning. I like Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, it is a great introduction to the basics of drawing, and of course any big book of pictures is worth looking at, but I can't seem to find anything worth reading more advanced than those. What I'd really like to find would be a book about composition, or a general book about profesional art. Anybody else read that article on the WotC website a couple weeks back about "the little box"? I really enjoyed that.

I havent read any books on the who's and how's of art, just one or two books of "how to draw ..." which i never was very good at. I just stopped trying to hand-draw after some1 mistook one of my people for a raccoon. I love to mess around on photoshop and sometimes flash player (very recently). Whenever i see an image someone else has done on the computer I ask myself "Can i do that?" And then i try to think of what it took to make it. In the real world I'm amazed at what some people can draw. I'm especially interested in anime style art. Its one thing to watch the TV shows, but to see the picture drawn in front of me, its just incredible and I keep looking back at it over and over again.
I have some examples of what I'm looking for in the contest thread, check it out and post your own ideas PLEASE...you'll have to wear that logo :wink3:

R&D, what language is that in? The art is sure interesting... You always use the same colors?
So is that the Official Banner or are members encouraged to make up their own? I think I'm the only "traditional mediums" person here so anything I do to suit me is going to not work for anyone else and anything anyone makes is almost certainly be digital. Say, DOES anyone else here use traditional mediums? 2D or 3D?
