we don't tag threads anymore?

[Takamachi Ruroha]

All right, artists, for those of you who have DeviantArt accounts: it's free Premium Membership day! Go nuts and get journal skins and stuff, kids.

I have noticed quite a few of us have a DeviantArt account. Would it be possible to have a topic where we share them?

[Jana]

A lot of people seem to keep a link in their forum signatures. I don't see why we would need a topic while that is the case.

I'm not one of the mods in charge of this subforum (or a mod at all ), but as someone who keeps things tidy, that's my take.

[Tengukami]

Seconding that. It's why we don't have Twitter, YouTube or Steam account threads. Just put it in your sig - if people want to add you, they will.

Yo, a few things--

1) Can I get a link in the OP?

2) What happened to the art tips/tutorials thread? Thinking of starting a new one. It could have a directory of helpful studies and videos and other resources, and also be a place for critique. I would also give it a witty title like "Art Tips Thread II: Like Hidamari Sketch but Less Glamorous" or "Art Tips Thread II: Border of Life Drawing" or "Art Tips Thread II: Ropes? Where We're Going, We Don't Need Ropes."

3) I kind of want to change my name to Res Ipsayaka Miki, but I like my Madoka avatar too much.

I was also thinking about the benefits of having these topics not too long ago. It would be great source to have (It should probably  be a  sticky so it doesn't get buried, lost etc. ) I also thought something like a Art-blocked/Inspiration/Motivation topic would be nice y'know for times when artist get stuck in that block or something of the sort and needs a few tips and such.

Same for the music one, while you're at that. I guess people really don't frequent general advice in either, causing our suggestions to go to specific people's caveats....

Seconding this. Nothing sucks more than an Art block. Maybe somehow we could extend that to Art&Music block topic. Maybe as a kind of idea dump, not as like random fandom ideas, but more like conceptual ideas. I'm looking at powerful words, concepts, moods, themes, etc.
An example of a powerful word/phrase would be 'chromatic asymmetry', which I plan on using for a Shikieiki fanart.
Just to throw some more out there, other good art block-breaking words I came up with are 'psycho-acoustics', and 'neapolitan'
