The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

Hello, stalwart artists.

Huge renovations are coming for this part of the site. I cannot reveal all the plans that have been in discussion, but the hope is that this is an art community that we can foster and build.

Not only do we hope to feature our own artists, but the plan is to be able to promote others as well. Part of this would be accompanied by cross-promoting with the front page (who knew we had one?) along with some other promotions coming down the pike.

One of the new plans is to change the look of the Corner. So here's where you come in, Artists. How would you like the Artist' Corner to look?

Suggestions about how you may want the place to look would be a nice start.

I was thinking of having art in the background.

But camo is on the table.

Basically, moderator abuse.

Oshawatt is attempting to be a troll for no other reason than to be a troll.

He basically came into this thread (meant to be a positive thread about changes in this forum) and decided to troll dairy.

I have edited his post, and he persists in the behavior, though I cannot really ascertain why.

Well, for one, the blood red background.

I wanted this area to have its own distinctive look. SO we can change that if we like. We can put comic panels back there from people here or whatever else to separate this are.

I am also considering a different logo for this area.

A topic icon to label all art threads would also be nice.

Not sure about the banners. I figure rotating banners for the whole site would be good, but that's not specific for this area.

seriously though, can we just ban this guy already? he pulls dumb shit constantly

How about front page galleries where artists can showcase work?

Yes, please.

But I figured this would be part of a bigger overhaul that would be more like stage 2.

Also, this is more your area that I cannot help with. I was looking to do stuff to improve this part of the forums while you work your magic on the other stuff we've been talking about.
