Second Discussion

So, what would you guys like to do now as a group? I'm personally open to anything.

as a group huh... well idk whats happening with sig comps, but if/when/whatever there open, why not all of us make an effort to put in an entry? in the meantime... how about making some sort of sig/mini sig that represents the groups name?

I made a small one a few days ago, but I'll probably change it soon because it's a little bigger than I wanted.

I'm not really sure about anything else though.

But in other news, AF now has a mini photoshop thingy, it's pretty cool.

Well, the Signature of the Week competition is back up, found here: http://www.animeforum.com/forumdisplay.php?133-Contests

I do like Ellipsis' image. And yeah, it is a bit small, but it works very well. We could make multiple versions of that.


We could create a shop of some sort. Shops in the requests section can be maintained by groups if you guys wanted to that.

Well, since Serated loves to run contests, there could be contests within the group sometimes. The winner entry can then represent the group on an actual contest on the sites (if we will ever have group battles of some sort). We could also make a collection of tutorials and/or tips and tricks. Then, there is a chance to post unfinished works here for advices. It's easier to ask a group member, than throwing out an unfinished work and attach the all too well known "Looks weird, I'm not happy with it" text next to it. As a group we have a wide range of possibilities that usually one single person cannot do alone. But before that, we need to advertise ourselves. Not by spamming people with PMs of course, but to attach the group's name wherever we can. I'm sure they will join when seeing the quality of the group. WE NEED ACTIVE MEMBERS!!

I like the shops idea and the new logo is nice ... simplicity works pretty well in such cases. :P

We could revamp this thread: http://www.animeforum.com/showthread...ip-of-the-Week

I stopped writing those tips because I ran out of things that people wanted to learn. I wouldnt mind writing more of those, unless of course you guys wanted to contribute to it in some way.

I think we need a few more members before we hold any in group contests. But, I like the idea.

I started making "beginner's tips" a while ago, just to show beginner sig makers how to get started on making sigs. They were just basic things like showing which tools did what, what some terms like "flow", "lighting", and "C4D's" were because I kept getting a lot of questions about them on my tutorials on DA. I could put a few of those up if you wanted. I'm really liking the contest idea though. We just need to recruit a few more people, and advertise ourselves more first. Another thing I wanted to know is, are we looking for people who want to learn/get better at GFX or just the ones that are already good at it?

Strange, I almost never get questions on signature making. But sure, I guess that would be a good idea, you should probably send copies to some of us, so we can check what you say, or add in other information that you might not have covered.

As for recruiting, its all up to you, boss man.

Maybe we could do something like a weekly/biweekly/monthly challenge. Y'know, just to help keep active.
Stuff like, "This week make a tag using a logo as a focal," or, "This week make a wallpaper using only the pentool."
And all of end results could be showcased and we all can get C&C from one another.
Just a thought. :3

I could do an extraction every week or so and you guys could run with those if you like.
