- How to join!
- Art Submission Guidelines
So it's time we get this group up and running!
Please share your comments and ideas for this group in the comments. I have some ideas to make this a nice spot on FA, just let me know what you think!
A gallery representing and linking to all toony artists on FA
I personally (mystery person!) think posting seperate art pieces would be quite chaotic and unnecessary, especially since artists post their work in their own galleries already. I take it most people who watch this group watch their favorite artists already, so that would only result in double posts in their inbox.
Instead, I think it'd be nice to post ONE submission per artist, representing their work. This picture can be a compilation of pictures, ofcourse, the description links to their gallery. That way the gallery stays simple but is a great way to find new cartoon artists.
Commission information
The journals, and possibly temporary submissions, can be used to promote toony artists who are open for commissions, especially if they have something special going on! There can be a permanent journal post showing which artists are open for commissions, though this might be a bit hard to keep up to date.
Linking to artists on other sites
This is just an idea but there's quite a few awesome cartoon artists out there who are taking commissions, but don't have an (active) account on FA. Maybe the journals would be a nice way to promote these people, as well. If they give permission, you could even post a picture with their work in the gallery like for the other artists.
Cartoon news
And ofcourse you could also use the journals to post and discuss interesting stuff and cartoon news. For example... the horror that is photo-realistic Tintin CGI? ;)
Tell me what you think!

Very good ideas! I'll try and use this account whenever I can to help promote other artists :)

I especially like the idea to have only "one promotional" artwork of each artist in that way we can avoid chaos :3!
