deviantArt Group Application Submitted for City of Heroes


Aggelakis

 

Posted

----Update----

The Group Application has been approved!

I've sent out invitations to the first 22 folks who wanted in. Apparently there's a limit as to how many invites can go out at the time. Please check your dA accounts for your invitations and accept them. Everyone else, please head on over to...

http://cityofheroes.deviantart.com/

And join from the page. I'm still exploring the features and getting to know the system, as well as determine a good way to organize the galleries and keep it easy to maintain organization. Keep in mind that this feature is also in Beta so it will be buggy to navigate through and use.

All members of the City of Heroes Group are allowed to contribute their existing deviations to the Screenshots Gallery, and several sub-galleries located on this page...Heroes, Heroines, Villains, Villainesses, Team-Ups, Showdowns, Group Battles. The Heroes, Heroines, Villains, Villainesses for single-character pinups only...the Team-Ups and Showdowns galleries are for any art including multiple characters...with the Group Battles gallery reserved for art that could be considered both a Team-Up and a Showdown.

Start submitting your favorite deviations from your own dA gallery!

The deviations submitted to the Group's Galleries are not entirely new deviations; clicking on the deviations in the CityofHeroes Group Galleries will actually re-direct the viewer to the deviation as it exists on someone else's page. (For example, clicking on the "Enter: The Bayani" piece thumbnail in the gallery will actually send you to deviation displayed on http://angbayani.deviantart.com/) I post all the art I've collected on my dA page with the artists credited in the comments. I encourage everyone to post CoH-related art from their dA accounts to the Group Page rather than just submit them as favorites. We'll use Favorites as a way for group members to share art of deviantArt members who aren't currently members of the CoH community.

Where should it be submitted to? Some of the galleries seem closed.

Excuse while I force you to explain things to me like unto a child... Do you want all of my CoH inspired artwork (character commissions, really) submitted to the group or just one or two pieces? As in, do you want five or six pieces of Polish Princess or just one or two? And the same for my other characters who have artwork.

If you go to the gallery...

http://cityofheroes.deviantart.com/gallery/

and click on the button that says "Contribute to this Gallery"

a pop-up window will appear. The system is a bit buggy and will indicate that you do not have permission to submit to the gallery. The pop-up window will have options however for you to submit a deviation from either your own gallery, your favorites, or a deviation from elsewhere on the site. On the very top of the window is a drop-down menu that should list the sub-galleries you can contribute to. Select the appropriate Gallery for the deviation you want to submit. The reason why folks can only submit to certain folders right now is because I feel the page should be organized and relatively cluttered free. The admins will be responsible for specific galleries and making sure images are classified properly. Just to reiterate...

The Heroes, Heroines, Villains, Villainesses folders are for single-character pinups only...the Team-Ups and Showdowns galleries are for any art including multiple characters. Group Battles gallery reserved for art that could be considered both a Team-Up and a Showdown.

It's up to the respective member's discretion; pick the ones you really want the community to see and post them in the appropriate sub-folder. The Gallery Directors (admins) will be in charge of making sure the galleries are kept in an orderly manner. I don't expect us to cap the number of submissions you can make but don't over do it. Also bear in mind that folks who added the group to their devWatch Page will get a message alert every time something's posted. I'd suggest all members to manage their watch lists appropriately so as to not get spammed with two messages about the same deviation getting submitted. I do hope everyone does get active with this group and contribute regularly, even if it's just screenshots. I'd rather just add this group to my watch rather than continue to add every CoHer I stumble across to my watch list one by one.

Ah, ok, thanks Bayani. I'll give it one more try. I don't want to bugger up the galleries... so if it doesn't work, I'll just hold off for a bit.

Thanks for the tip.

Sweet, man. Thanks for setting that up. Did we ever figure out a simple way to keep the content COH related? (Wouldn't want to clutter up the page with all my other junk. )

If you don't actively click on the "Contribute to this Gallery" thing on the group page, your uploads won't go into the group gallery.

I don't think you can contribute to a group from the upload page, only after you've uploaded the image to your own gallery first?

That's how I understand it, and All signed up.

Bayani:

Can I get a BOOT from the group? And then a NEW invite for my NEW account?

Old account: baquitania.deviantart.com

NEW account: xxLJxx.deviantart.com

I made the account to allow my cousins to see a gallery of only COH work. So I faved 200 pieces of my old work from 2006-2009, and I will be posting new 2010 COH art in there. My account ends on January 15th here, but I will return for Going Rogue...

Meantime I will be finishing my queue.

If you don't mind adding me, my account is derango.deviantart.com.

Not an artist, exactly, but I do play the game and I'm on deviant art and all.

If you go to the group page, click you're own avatar in top left corner, you get a little menu with one of the options being to leave the group...

I believe there is also a button somewhere to JOIN the group if you're not yet a member and then the founder would just have to OK that join request...

Haven't poker around too much yet though so that last part could be wrong.

Like your stuff is junk, Naka. The onus is going to be on the members to keep things in the gallery CoH-related. The admins will assist towards those ends too. Aggelakis is correct. Submissions to the group page are deviations that already exist on the site, Scooter, so you'll have to submit the deviation to your gallery, then to the groups gallery. This is by design, so that the owner of the deviant gets "credit" for the views. You *can* submit art that was either in your Favorites, or from dA in general. However, if you're not the member who owns the deviation, dA will only allow it to be submitted to the gallery if the owner approves it. (The owner will receive a message to accept or deny the submission).


Folks, to avoid double posting in the Groups page, please submit any CoH-Related art to the galleries themselves via the "Contribute to the Gallery" button on this page...

http://cityofheroes.deviantart.com/gallery/


Let's keep the Favorites section reserved for nonCoH-related art. I've gone ahead and move the CoH stuff in the favorites to the appropriate galleries.

If you're a member of the Group already and you wish to be listed as a "Commission-able Artist" please send me a note via dA. Also, spread the word and direct folks to join the group on dA and start more stuff! The Rogues' Gallery in particular needs Villains and Villainesses!

I added my small VexXxa collection to the DA Group page for Villainesses and had no problems.

Great idea, Bayani!!
