It's not about how much work you've got submitted to the portal (as long as it's at least 4) but what kind of quality it is. Say you have to make a portfolio with 5-10 works of art. Do you cram in 10 images that are mediocre or do you show only your best work?

I only put up stuff that I like. But its not very often. So it may not get seen.

I could do a joke related to your sig right now, y'know

While I'm not exactly following the....ongoing conversation, I'd like to ask an art question.

Every time I draw in PhotoShop it looks pixelated.I know that this is because thats how the software works, but I've seen some amazingly detailed works and I wanted to know how I can fix this.I've been raising the pixels per centimeter and they are now 4000, and yet it looks unchanged, quality-wise.

You should post an examble (picture) of what you are talking about. Othervise it is a little hard to say what the problem is.

Likewise.
Anyway, it the problem might be that your brushes don't have antialiasing on.
Also, you mentioned that you set your pixels per cm to 4000. Do you mean the DPI (dots per inch) or did you mean that the canvas size is 4000?

Just play around with using different brushes. It might also have to do with your pressure sensitivity settings on your tablet, if you have one. You can also go into your brush settings and change the hardness, which should help. And try working smaller too.

Also, put your dpi on 200 or 300.

a guy shitting out a rainbow would be more interesting, but I can never really choose something to draw at free will. Usually I have no idea what I want to draw, then I get a broad sketch going and eventually it ends up as something finished.

I usually find it easier to toss around a load of ideas till I have too many, then I just start and one of them comes out, or they all combine into something rubbish. ;D

Why is the castle collab and the sketchbook tour threads locked?

I have no idea. But I would really appreciate the reason this happened. With almost 50 artist submissions (more so if you count unsuccessful ones) A lot of hours of work has just been locked.

might have something to do with the phishing scam ren mentioned:

although suspiciously the link she provided is dead, whereas it wasnt before... also couldnt find the thread in wades post history (im pretty sure he started that thread), so it seems to be deleted.

sorry for double post, but Id suggest making sure you have a copy of every single artwork you plan to include, just incase the thread gets deleted...

They're unlocked now. I believe it was a result of the recent phishing attacks.

If any of you guys notice anything else suspicious, like more threads being locked or deleted for no reason, be sure to let someone know about it. Thankfully no irreversable damage has been done, as far as I'm aware, in this forum.

Be aware that this is going on and don't allow your account to be compromised.

I just know that I'm going to get laughted and kicked in the chin for this, but how does one set a DPI on a photoshop file?I've only adjusted the Pixels per inch..not dots :/..is that the same thing?

My mspaint pokemon thread was deleted D:
I put a lot of effort into those, they werent spam.

Actually about 30 of my posts have vanished. :/
No idea which ones though.

when you make a new document, you choose the dimensions. The resolution is how many pixels you want per inch. 72 is the normal camera resolution and 300 is how much printers use to put the image on paper

I think

next time, post these types of things here
