Regarding the Art Request Thread
Since we've been talking about the rules recently and possibly shaking a few things up in this forum, I have to ask you regs how you feel about the current request thread. Is it working? Have there been any success stories? Are the requirements too strict?
We would love some input.

Sadly I haven't taken up many projects from the request thread. But despite that, I think the rules are pretty good over all, if anything needs to be reinforced is the payment/reward for doing the work. The payment/reward is the one thing that seems to get left out the most.
Now this is just for the kicks.
On the other end, I think that us artist should take more jobs from the thread. I suggest a public posting of a weekly, biweekly or monthly tally of how many jobs each of us do.
Only getting the mark on completion of course...
Inspire a little friendly competition between us.

I can actually see this working for the smaller requests; say if someone wants a quick graphic or a logo design or a menu background or whatever, and cant really pay anything, they could drop it in a special thread, so that the art request thread could be saved for the more serious, bigger requests. Or perhaps they should be combined, I dont know. I think there should be a artrequest.newgrouds.com account to watch over the scoring though.
NEVER LOOSE FAITH IN MANCUNT
I think the biggest problem is the fact that most people are asking for full game art or partial game art.
I think if they were smaller, part time things more people would want to do them

We were thinking of creating a thread in the collab forum and redirecting stuff like that there... and keep the request thread here for things like... I need a logo, tattoo, t-shirt designs, etc. Maybe it should be renamed:
..:: Art Commissions Thread 1.0 ::..

that would be better, commission implies payment, request means freebies, although you could have a freebie thread for small stuff if people are desperate and want to try their luck

Probably wouldn't amount to much, but yeah, that isn't too bad an idea. However, I've yet to really bother to take a single request, myself, and I don't really know any regs who have - like M-vero said, nobody really want to straight-out take the time to plug in a full-set of game art and the like, smaller requests would work better, although it wouldn't deal with the million or so request threads that seem to pop up.
That, and telling the difference between the two threads to people new to this forum might be a little confusing.
I would be much more interested in smaller things, like single character commissions or small group things, you know, commission stuff.
what most people here would probably consider commission stuff at least.
My only concern would be reliability with payment, something that I've seen as pretty common place is half before the commission, half after, or all at the start, to avoid getting shafted.

That's awesome Kinsei! I wish I knew how to carve pumpkins. Imagine the things I'll be able to do with those things.

I'd rather not imagine.... cause in my head it would probably end up with you having a restraining order against all vegetables....

Bullshit. Those aren't potion bottles, those are wine bottles.

I don't have much time to make proper drawings lately, so I'll make up for the lack of attention with money.
Here's what I bought you for your birthday, Vero.
It's a Louis Vuitton, and they are goddam expensive.
Happy Birthday Vero!
.... and no, there's no witty comment following.
Thanks guys, joe the bag is fabulous, my old one was getting a bit worn and torn.

It makes whoring that much easier.
Happy birthday, Vero, have fun being eighteen. Perfect reason to get completely drunk and go on a popcorn-consuming rampage.
In other news, I stubbed my pinky and the nail on it split in half. That's the second toe that's happened on, first being on my big toe (which is now going ingrown). Are my feet being targeted, or conspired against?
