This thread is to help any artists that are new here understand how they can post art on this forum.
Posting art here is relatively simple. First you have to post your picture somewhere else, either a personal gallery or a database. We suggest www.photobucket.com for this. Photobucket is free and easy to use and allows you to create multiple categories/files for your pictures. However, any file over a certain size is usually rescaled to fit their format, so that might be a problem. Other good sites for uploading pictures are www.imageshack.com and www.freeimagehosting.net.
Once you've posted a picture you can use the forum's html code to post the picture. The easiest way to do this is to press the button with a photo on it in the "add tags" section above the text box when you post a reply or start a new thread. This will give you an HTML command: [img*][/img*]
(ex. [img*]url_to_my_picture/mypic.jpg[/img*] )
That image command without the "*" in it, will allow you to post a picture by pasting the URL of the picture between the center-most brackets. It should look something like this, but without the asterisks: [img*]http://twdmechdesigns.com/110011.jpg[/img*]
If done right, you should get this result:
There you have it. Any comments you want to post about the picture you can type before or after posting the HTML code and link ^_^
Finally, if you want to post a picture, or a string of related pictures, remember to start a new thread and not bombard some one else's thread, unless they started that thread with the intention of people posting their art on it.
That's about it, if you have any questions regarding this topic, feel free to leave them here, or get in contact with an administrator.
