Belle Isle Museum
 

A Museum, run by the Initiative, has been opened up on Belle Isle. All artwork is for sale, so check it out. All of it is made by players.

i love that!!!!

Really cool.

I would like to make a statue for the museum but where can I find the template and the email to send it to?

I'm apart of the Initiative <3

I don't think there is a template. Just make a statue with dimensions that are close to those of the statue. You're a pixel artist, you should be able to work out how big you'd like it to be.

Only Initiative members can make a statue for the museum, sorry. But if you wish to make a statue for the Museum read iNana's status and apply to join the Initiative. Good luck.

Nope, there is a template that all of us Initiative members use.

Yes, but only an Amateur GFX artist, roughly what sort of dimensions should it be?
What's the email to send the finished product too?

Awesome! Is there any chance you could send me the template? I would ask Flux for it as i'm a close friend but he's offline.

I believe there is an Initiative Forum which holds competitions for your work, with the prize being your work is able to be available to the Classic Community?

Where is this forum?

Google is your friend.

I already searched it using Google, it's just a forum talking about bringing Initiative back...

Then if there's no other results he's clearly wrong.

There is a forum for The Initiative:

(Link to our Initiative forum. Don't create an account unless you are in one of the guilds of the Initiative. Thanks.)

Arg you beat me to it xD

There is a template for statues but you don't need to use it...

Wait let me get this straight, you've got to be in some stupid guild just to submit your art to the contest?


Pfft. It's not a art museum if all it showcases is a collection of works by people in a certain exclusive group.

That's like the academy in Paris, you know, those people who only thought imitational work was good and controlled what was considered art and hated the painters like Van Gogh?

I never liked the initiative. It goes against what it was made to do, to allow players to become better gfxers and showcase their work. The fact they have their own exclusive forum and monopolize the museum just show how stuck up it is.

Furryamigo and iNana have accepted me into the Initiative ^_^ they like my work and as soon as another art competition is hosted i'm gonna get started.

Could the next project be to make the Museum look like it is actually part of Graal? It looks good and all, by itself, but it really doesn't suit the area. Being with the graphics of Graal just makes it look like a big white behemoth.

The Art in it is amazing though.

I agree. The building looks like something out of a toothpaste tube.

Hey I could make collumns and....

Oh wait, I'm not in your exclusive group, so apparently I and all other non members can't participate.

You can still email your work in to be uploaded. it's just that only the Initiative are able to submit art for certain assignments.

What do you mean by assignments? Why don't they post it for everyone? This was meant to allow all graalians to be able to have a chance. It seems to do the opposite if you ask me.

Well you have to apply to be recruited or declined, so really anybody has a chance if they apply including some good work. And our assignments we have are the "contests." There is one usually every month. The assignment explains the rules, and things such as that.

The initiative isn't strict when recruiting which is the one part I hate about the guild. Majority make 'gfx' using gradient tools and other filters/effects. Since majority are beginners the only criticism you get is 'Amazing' and 'wow great work' for something like a pillowshaded gradient hat.

I'd write more but I have to go to school.

o-o I'm not in it. I suck at making graphics.

so let me get this straight, im only a good enough gfx to participate if im in a guild? they should have disbanded this stupid thing ages ago.

if your going to have a competition let everyone know and let everyone participate.

For our assignments that can't be able to happen. Usually assignments have about at most 40-ish members entering at least like 12, if the assignments we open to everybody that would be like 300 entries. A lot to go through. You wouldn't even really get feedback. I bet some people would just troll on the posts and such anyways. Besides, it wouldn't be a surprise update if everyone knew. Only the Initiative knows about the updates that we make graphics for, so it's a fun surprise for graalians.

well set a one per account id submission, and as uploaders they need to go through that amount of images anyway every day, and if the forum was for everyone then everyone could get feedback, of course trolls would be banned from it like on here.
