Very well done - Satisfied dragons are the best kind of dragons - especially after a 'meal'.

*burps* I agree. :p

I remember this on Voretex. Have you a coloured one like your userpic?

Yeah, I made this a long time ago. It's only in pencils though. A friend of mine wanted some of my stuff to make icons with so I sent her that, and she made the colored icon.

Do you draw yours on the computer or on paper( my artwork is on A4 sheets of paper so I have too scan my to the computer)?

I use the computer and the program Open Canvas a lot now. A lot of times I'll draw rough ideas on paper and then scan that in for lots of cleanup. I've only done a few in traditional media from start to finish in the past few years.

Could you draw this drawing again where hes a lot fatter or one where he has indigestion?

Well I have no plans to revisit this one. I've got a big list of stuff in the que right now, but random inspiration draws me off track a lot of times. Some bigger bellied dragons are planned for a little down the road.

Do you have any suggestions into how I can upload my A4 drawings on too this site( in both dimensions and format) please?

From your reply in my other post you can already scan pictures. The file sizes you stated in KB aren't to large for this site, and the resolution sizes you say you ended up with (somewhere around 1000 X 1000) are within the size limits for submission.

The submission process is pretty simple. There is a submit button (third from the left beneath the Furaffinity banner) that you click on and follow the on screen instructions.

You'll check the button for artwork. The next page will have you upload the picture itself. Click the button next to the upload field and find where it is on your computer. Then when you go onto the next page you'll type in all of the information like image name, description, keywords, select if it's adult or not, species, etc. Then when you click submit it's uploaded into your gallery (Or scraps if you selected to put it there.)

looking at your shouts I'm not sure what issue you specifically have. The file type has to be JPG, Gif, PNG, or some other common file type for the site to use. I can't pin down off hand why you're getting the little red 'X', but that usually indicates a file the computer is looking for isn't there. If you didn't submit a file for picture and only tried to upload the thumbnail image that might do it. You still have to have a file submitted. I'll have to see if I can get that to happen myself.

You said something about a File, could you explain more on this( also can I scan too a JPG, GIF and PNG. And if so where would be the best place too put image( on the scanner it say's - Image, Email, File and another I can't remember)?

A File is what you're going to make when you scan your picture. All of these images you see on FA are files and each one has a file name. It will look something like this: Filename.jpg except 'Filename' can be mostly whatever you want. When you put the paper in the scanner and start scanning it you want to save it as a file. The scanning program is also going to ask you where you want to put that file on your hard drive, and what you want to call it. You can put it anywhere on your drive that you want, and call it whatever you want, but you have to remember both of those when you want to submit it to FA. I've made a folder on my hard drive for just scanning images so I know where they always go. That works pretty well for me.

If the scanner has buttons that say Image, Email, File, and whatever else, then use the File button. That is what you're going to create. The JPG, GIF, and PNG are file types the JPG one will work fine for you now.

Once you have all of that done then you can submit that one image to FA.

I know this is lame but in your scan folder on your computer how would you write your drawing's name( in other words do you have the JPG or file in the name because that might be the problem I'm getting on FA and my stepdad's PC)?

Apparently with this one above it was fulldragonnt.jpg.

I don't have the word FILE in the name or anywhere. You don't need that. The way a computer files are labled so that programs and sites like FA know what to do with it. The format used is some kind of name then a period followed by a three letter extension. In the picture above fulldragonnt is the file name and jpg is the extension. The extension tells the program what kind of file it is. If it's an image file your computer will do something with it to let you see it, and if it's a sound file it will have a different extension and the computer will then know to turn on a different program to let you hear it.

Whatever program your using should save whatever you scan or edit with either a gif, jpg, or png extension. If you get a choice choose the jpg one. Any of those can be submitted to FA.

Then I suppose I better make another Scan folder then and rescan all my art into File setting "THEN!", If I get my artwork on this site then I'll let you know and you can tell me what you think of it.

Then do you have the name jpg in your art on you computer( do I have to add the jpg with my JPEG scanned art)?

Tell me what you have it saved as and what you did to get it down to that size, because I think I'm confusing you a little.

I scanned it into the control centre on the File setting. I change the size in "scan" on the control centre. I created a folder in scan to put my JPEG art into(wait is that where I'm going wrong).

And when you look at the filename that you created on your computer what does it say? All of it, include everything after the period.

It just say's FUTURE'S FOUR SEASON COLOURS( I apologise for the big letters)!

Ok, can you open it in any kind of image program? Like if you double click on it does the computer open anything up?

I don't understand the Question.

What I'm trying to find out is if you've saved this to an image format that the computer understands, and I'm trying to find out which one that is. It's difficult for me to troubleshoot because I can't see what you've done. I'm trying to collect as much information about what you've done that I can.



You've submitted stuff to DA, and other than the image size you made that should have been plenty compatible with FA. So now that you've supposedly shrunk the image size you should be able to post that here. Since you can't I'm trying to understand what's gone wrong. I can tell you this, all of the pictures that you've submitted to DA are in JPG format. If you've made an image the same way it should be in the same format. I'm trying to confirm that.

The art on DA was originally scanned as bitmap:Image and it was changed to jpg by DA loading( all my original scanned art is still bitmap and is in a folder "FUTUREBLOCKER'S ART"). Yesterday I rescanned my art as File:Image and placed art in a new folder "futureblocker's art"( in other words I have two folders with the same art but different formats). The folder I mention ealier was used on DA, but the second is supposed to work on FA!

Oh, that explains a whole lot. I didn't know that DA changed formats. FA doesn't accept bitmap images either, and it doesn't change your formats for you. A bitmap image will have a bmp extension.

There are two things you can try. If what you just told me up there is how your scanner saves images then look for something like JPG:Image or GIF:image and make sure to keep that image size small.

The other option I'm talking about is that you use some kind of image editing program. From what I've read of your posts you don't seem to understand how to use one of those, is that correct?

Actually I've just found out that I have to reupload the submission by simply going on change submission instead! Well it's like what they say "you learn something new everyday"!
