This isn't official, but I decided to make it because there are several questions asked daily. Being just a normal member, I cannot force you to do anything, but I'd like it if you read through this before posting a question. I'm not an expert either, but I know enough to get rid of the daily questions.




FAQ's

How do I put an image as my sig/In a post?
It's very simple. Find an image host and upload the picture. Then put
[image]ImageURL[/image]
. For Example:

[image]http://www.somehost.com/username/picturename.filetype[/image]

Step One
Step two

How do I get a link in my signature image?
To get a link in your sig, simply fill out this code and paste it in your sig:

[link=http://URL here][image]ImageURL here[/image][/link]


Where can I host images?
www.imageshack.us
www.photobucket.com

Just upload the file to one of those, and then use the direct URL.

What is the maximum signature size?
Well, if you had read the rules, you would know that it is 500x100 and 50kb.

How do I upload my own avatar?
You don't. You must choose one from the galleries. Only people with special titles like Creative! or Helpful! can upload.

Step One
Step two

How do I get a special title?
You shouldn't want to do art just because of that, but if you must know, you must be helpful, keep out of trouble, be decent at what you do, and never ask for the title. It doesn't happen over night, so don't expect it too.

How do I get a gallery in hand drawn art?
Once again, it's in the stickies. To get a gallery in HDA, you must first create an organized gallery in the GoCA. After you have the gallery set up, PM Grafh or J with a link to your gallery and a request to have it moved.

Can someone rate my sig?
They can, but not here. Try creating a gallery in the Digital Arts section, or request a rating in a rating shop als o found in Digital Arts.

Will somone tutor me in _________?
Yes. Post a tutor request in The Student Teacher Orginazation.

dud, lik hlp e n dis!
We can't. We're to busy trying to decipher what your saying. This is an english forum, so speaking decent english is a part of the experience. You also need relavent topic titles and posts, so we know what to help you with.

Where can I get ________?
Try Grafh's Ultimate Web Resource Guide. Links to paint programs and tutorials.

Is there a way to get ________ free?
That is considered stealing, which is illegal, thus we will not help you. Posting such will only get you warned or banned.

What is C4D?
C4D, or Cinema 4D, is a graphics porgram used to create high quality 3D renders often used by sig makers for effect. The graphics created are reffered to as C4D renders. These renders are used by pasting them into an image and toying with its visibility to add optional effects to an image.

Where can I get C4D renders?
There are many websites that have C4D renders. These include, but are not limited too (Note: you need permission to use these):
www.planetrenders.com
www.deviantart.com

How do I download fonts/brushes?
GIMP: Go to a website such as www.deviantart.com or www.dafont.com and select a font or brush set you like. Find the download and download it to a place within your computer. Then, open up that folder. You will have an option to Extract all Files. Take them, and extract the to this directory:
My Computer> Drive (C:)>Program Files>GIMP>gimp 2.0>share>brushes/fonts (depending on what it is.)
Then, inside gimp, go to either Text or Brushes, and click Refresh Fonts/Brushes and your new sets should appear.
PHOTOSHOP: Once you have downloaded the fonts, they will be either a .rar file or a .zip file, and will appear in a folder on your desktop, or wherever you saved them to.

If they are a .zip file, you simply need to right click and select "extract" and a new folder with the extracted files will be added to your desktop, at this point, you can delete the .zip folder.

If the file is a .rar you need to download winrar to extract the files. Google winrar and you should be able to get more information. Once you have your folder extracted, go to your control panel (Start>Control panel) If you do not already have your control panel in classic view, look at the navigation bar on the left, and select the "Switch to classic view option" You should now have a list of folders and functions. One of those folders should be entitled "Fonts" open that folder. Go back to the extracted folder from earlier, and open it. Inside there should be (among other text files) a file with a large T, a "TrueType Font file" Drag that file into your fonts folder, and you are done.




This is my two cents on the questions asked daily. Be sure to contact me if there is something to add.

Doing decent art is just to get creative title, to get helpfull title it is only required to be it (helpfull).

Hopefully. I like to hang around here and the GoCA, but I can't stand answering the same things over and over again when few people will.

For c4d renders, include that you must have permission to use the render, if you are without permission it is considered ripping. This also includes stocks and images unless they are using deviantart for downloading and sharing purposes.

Hmm. first I need this linked in a pinned topic. Or pinned itself. Though that won't happen.

I plan to add a few screenies, it would be nice if somebody could provide a few. Like CBO, you could provide where to find the area's with screenies!

Just take a screnie that shows the top and both of the feilds, and circle those in read and label. C'mon. Preschool's harder than this!

Edit: Just edit for now. Keep it clean.

Okay, I'll await your screenies.

Creative!


Also just to clarify some things

To get a Creative title, not only must you have good Artwork but you must also be helpful towards your other Forum Members, so essentially its harder to get a Creative title than it is to get a Helpful title

Maybe add the avatar size limit?

I think this is a great idea. Good luck.
