...a music section? Various artists could add their music to the section for others to download(If allowed) and rate. Otherwise we're gonna keep using the forums for this stuff. And while it's ok to use the forums, it's much tidier to use a section.
Just came to mind and I was wondering if it would be worth it.
Hmm. Maybe a media section as a whole? Because as it stands now there is only that board for digital works. A dedicated section next to projects and downloads for art/music might be kinda coo.
I agree. It would all be very cool, but OMC makes a point. There aren't many artists here, but if we can get a nice polished art section, possibly it will attract more artists, and therefore, more members.
Maybe by having a large selection of artwork, people will be impressed by the quantity of the work that's been added.
Newgrounds.com has a large selection of aspiring artists as well as flash submissions, so it's possible we can do the same; just upload all the things you're willing to share. Chances are the date of upload would be shown, so maybe to make it look less suspicious only upload a couple of things every day or week or whenever.
And to refine the section, seperate the pixelart, drawings, sketches, and the like from the music and sounds.
If it flourished like you wanted it to, it could easily get out of hand. :\ Nothing would be organized and everything would need to be named properly... I dunno. I'm all for sharing our non-game digital works, but I think posting in the forum is the best way to do it.
Accepting the forums won't increase the traffic of members; that's another reason why I suggested this. The main reason is because it'd just be awesome to have an art section. (I love drawing... |3) And if the names are misleading just tell an Admin.
I still think it sounds good but you have made some valid points.
Ok, I have a new idea on sorting things. So when you go into the Art section and you choose Drawings and sketches or Music and Sounds, they split into branches. I can't put these into branches without it looking incredibly cluttered, so here's my point.
The drawings are seperated from the music, and the split into branches when you click either one. If you click on music it would have branches that would say "Rock", "Techno", "Dance", "R&B", "Jazz", "Classical", "Sound effects", or whatever. The art work would split into branches that would say "Pixel art", "Pencil", "Pen", "Paintbrush", or whatever.
Exactly. A Section for aspiring musicians and graphic artists could also encourage others to do the same. While it'd be great just having an art section, it's even greater to have a full art section filled up by new and veteran users. And if you haven't noticed lately, we've been seeing quite a few new members lately, some of which could have potential. If the art section gets big enough more people will come to TDC and check it out, and eventually check out other things. So basically the plan would be to have an awesome art section just to show off your stuff, while attracting new members.
Edit* Oh btw Andy, try Fruityloops studio. It's just awesome.
I think an art section would be a great ideal! I would like it if you could access the art also through a persons profile. Like if I clicked on Dr. James or Adam I would see the art they contributed.
