[Loriahnell]

Go on - Admit its a good idea

Some of the artists already have their own websites to put art up on, and there will be links to art as the game goes on.

I think he means a section on the forum for us to post fan crap.

[Loriahnell]

yeah i meant that.. but COOL anyway as long as its not just for the game.. ya know ? anything

Placing an area is a thought. Do you think it would be better as part of the boards? or a seperate area on the website?

[Weiser_Cain]

I think it should be on the boards so you don't have to jump around so much to see all the stuff on the site.

I've seen some great artwork created by fans. Sure, much of it may not be top notch, but there are skilled artists out there. I'd enjoy having it available on this site. *shrugs*

[Loriahnell]

yeah dude keep it on the boards - good job :D

A link to it from the boards might be good but it shouldn't necessarily be part of the forums. There is only limited space on the first page of a forum. In my experience, people tend to compete with one another to be on the first page creating needless bump-a-thons. I'd suggest that whenever you get around to updating the Games > Sith Lords portion of your website, you have one link for concept art, one for screen shots, and one for amateur art.

 

Of course, if you do that, you'll have set up an e-mail address that fans can submit art to, submission guidelines (or else you'll have people complaining that their picture of a naked T'Leek dancer eviscerating a Dark Jedi hasn't been posted), and someone will have to go through the submissions and put them up ever so often. In terms of time and manpower, an extension of the forum might be more efficient.
