Hello I am a new member as of today I hope you enjoy the art that I do.
I have been mostly a fantasy artist in years past, but things change, and I wanted a fresh start, something to spark the creative flow again after a period of hardship and loss.
Now I have new tools to work with and a new digital medium to explore.
All of the art that I have done in the past has been done in graphite. I have never been to a computer class in my life, and this has been my first chance to work with digital art.
I am currently working with a macbook and PhotoShop CS3 Extended.
And I am enjoying what I can do. :)

Welcome, JohnGWolf! I can't wait to see your stuff!

Star Wars: Tapestry - a play-by-post roleplaying game for everyone... good OR evil!

JohnGWolf

So how do I submit stuff to the gallery?
I don't see a place to do so.

I'm assuming you applied for, and was admited into, the guild? If not, there is a link at the top of every page that says.. "Guild Application" you click that, submit sample art, and wait to see if you get approved to join the guild. The process can take a while, and then again and can be really fast. ... If you are approved, I'd suggest asking them in the "Bull Pen" how to submit work.

Asok

The application is pending. Please be patient. If you are admitted to the Guild, you will have the tools to upload your art. :)

Kool, Thank You. I was unsure as to how your proses is set up. :)
Every site has there own way of doing things. I thank you for the clarification.

Welcome to SWAG, man! I'm still barely more than a lurker myself. Feel free to join me in my quiet little 'waiting to see if I'm approved into the guild' party... I've got cookies!

JohnGWolf

I might just do that. :)
But I do so much hate being a lurker.
I'd much rather be posting some new art pieces here,
rather than watching the requests go bye. :(

To Tusserk and JohnGWolf, It seems to me that Eclipse is waiting to move new guildies in until after he gets his upgrade off the ground, which seems like it will be happening shortly. There still needs some bugs to work out it appears, and some discussion on the matter, but I must say I did enjoy both of your work and I cast my vote for you two. And I would like a cookiee...

Tusserk

Hey, thanks for that update, Drig!! Sure makes the waiting easier hearing something like that... and many thanks also for the positive vote! :D

Haha, I totally hear you on watching the requests go by, Mr Wolf!! Some of the ones I read reeeeaally tickle my creativity bone. But, well, I have plenty of scenes from the campaign I'm currently in to satisfy most of those urges in the meantime anyhow.

Cookies for all!! Right now it's double-choc-chip or ginger snaps. ;)

JohnGWolf

I to have to thank you. :D
I have been going through a period of self doubt since my losses.
It is good to hear some positive news and feed back.
And one Homemade dutch chocolate chip cookie to all positive voters. lol.
Thanks guys. :)

Very nice.

(and don't bother trying to butter-me-up with cookies. My vote has already been processed.)

JohnGWolf

NP. :D I'm all out of cookies. "Yawn"
Wake me up when the verdict is in, starting to get board with an empty gallery.
But I really do appreciate the comments and support.

JohnGWolf

Well I have popped in a few times since my last post, ether I'm missing something or I'm still waiting to know if I have been accepted.
If someone has the answer to this question please let me know.

Xanamiar

If you don't know... you haven't been accepted yet.. lol

From what I understand, they are waiting for Eclipse to get some things into the website to approve more artists. Maybe even a site upgrade. Eclipse is the only one who can answer the question though John.. Sorry

JohnGWolf

Ok guys I've waited long enough I'm out Delete this account I'll try some other time.
Kind of disappointing I've waited all this time. :(
Send me an email if or when I'm excepted but I'm tiered of checking in for no reason.
Hasta.

JohnGWolf

Yawn,, yay right.
Patience is cool and all but over 13 weeks to wait to see if I'm excepted is a little much.
Obviously my work is not worthy.
Sad.
I might check back next month. :(

Tusserk

Hey, don't take it to heart, man! They've explained why no new artists are being taken on at the moment, and those who run/own the site have all the right to take as much sweet time as they want doing whatever they want with it!

From what I can see, there's been nothing but positive feedback on your work, and there's certainly nothing stopping you enjoying the site and contributing through the forums in the meantime. Just relax!

Judas

What Tuss said. Yer work is great, and you WILL make an awesome addition to the crew WHEN the real world lets the command crew update the sight.
Rember what Yoda says:"blah...blah..blah..patience..blah..blah..blah...A.D.D......blah... blah... blah...stop picking at it...

JohnGWolf

Well I was going to put a link to a new StarWars piece but it set off a spam filter so I guess I can't. :(
you will just have to look for it at my site or on FaceBook.

Xanamiar

The spam filter is set off by any link... just fill out the little captcha, and you can post it.

Xanamiar

LOL.. All that picture needs, John, is a "Born to be Bad" logo at the top right...

That made my day.. very nice work.

JohnGWolf

Thanks guys. :)
I'll keep posting pics here till I can post in the gallery.

Xanamiar

so, now he's a Wanted Jedi... hehe.. Nice, love the twi'lek, and the stuffed bunny.. very funny stuff. And no, I didn't have to use a decoder, I shamefully learned how to read aurebesh to decode SWTOR stuff.

JohnGWolf

You mean the kushiban plushy. lol :)
I had to throw that in, a friend of mine plays a Kushiban Jedi named Ikirit.
Good to know you can read aurebesh. :) I like throwing it in every now and then.
The write up is that "Kouken Ookami" (Guardian Wolf/Japanese), is protecting the little twi'lek girl from slavers, even though he is wanted by the Empire himself. :)

Eclipse

@JohnGWolf,

A couple of things:

1.) Let me apologize for the amount of time it's taken to make you a guild member. I've basically stopped accepting new guild members until I have the time to give this site a serious overhaul. That said...

2.) From looking at this forum post, you've been here for months participating and waiting, and showing off the cool stuff you can do which I think:

3.) Deserves your promotion to Guild Member immediately. Welcome to the guild, you can now submit art to the real galleries, and you have my sincere apologies that it took this long.

Eclipse

Drig

You da man Eclipse!

He had my vote too!

Glad to see things are happening!

Welcome to the wide world of SWAG sir JohnGWolf! Can't wait to see your gallery swell with awesome!

Xanamiar

Welcome to the guild John, hope to see your gallery swell as well... :) And hope to see you start taking some requests, that would be awesome.
