I feel you, even though I'm not a veteran forumer. Tomorrow's Hero is still working on this site, so I'm assuming that's why there isn't yet a 'Suggestions' thread. It's been spoken of and I'm sure it'll be added soon.

I don't think that a thread would be helpful. It's usually better to have a suggestions board with some sub-categories for forums.

i mean yeah suggestions would be great
but i'm kinda miffed that the specific language used in the rules excludes non-warriors illustrative art ??? even though a huge part of the art forum did original art ? that's not a "new forum, haven't gotten around to it" that was a purposeful choice that i really wish the admin hadn't made :/ it's pretty frustrating

Dude, I think he meant that by not posting non-personal artwork, he meant don't steal people's art.
You can post gifs, original art, comics, ect. Nobody really cares about the specifics, but I think he's just saying unless it's a gif or something explicitly for public use (like a meme) you shouldn't post art that isn't yours.

By thread I meant board, whoops. I clearly can't word things correctly.
You'll have to bring that up with Tomorrow's Hero. I'm not sure how I can help you otherwise, as I have no power here.
Edit - I agree with Sakubi

There's literally a fan art section.
He's obviously supporting fan art

yeah...they should've just made another subcat for art that's not related to warrior cats. who knows if they'll look at this thread or not? tomorrow's hero might add stuff.

THAT WORDING IS RATHER CONFUSING AND I SAT HERE STARING AT THIS THREAD FOR LIKE 15 PLUS MINUTES TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT--
I believe what Sakubi is saying here though and it makes a lot more sense-- I already see people drawing non warrior related art things. I think they just mean don't steal other people's art-- things you didn't personally create? evo; -scritch scratches head-
or at least i hope that's what it means i'mma be pretty p'ed off if it isn't what it means xD
EDIT:: SITUATION'S ALREADY BEEN CLEARED NEVER MIND AHA

You can post original non-fan art on the fan art section. It's under an over-encompassing "art forum" section.
No one's gonna care as long as it abides by the no gore/sexual topic policy.

i'm not trying to be confrontational. i'm sorry if it's coming off that way but i'm really frustrated by the lack of a space for me to share my work. i really really do apologize for how angry i sound ;;

I think the issue is that there is nowhere to express art outside of fanworks for warriorcats, etc. The art forums on wcf were actually the worst as artists were constantly drowned out by 'trend' threads and code shops, etc. Now there isn't even a gallery for artists, let alone a subdivision for us to culminate in. It's just super frustrating to wade and navigate through spam, non-art topics, etc. and warrior cat works in an all-art board, let alone one strictly designated for WC art.
Don't take my word for it, as I am not 100% sure how Sorrel feels right now, but this is my general take on it all. Idk, I am going to give it time but it is honestly a bad hand artists are being dealt here.

i could post my art in the fan art section, yes, but that doesn't change the fact that it isn't an accurate categorization

It's fine if you didn't mean for it to be condescending, and I know Tomomo will take it with a smile and probably apologize for everything since he's such a nice guy, but please do be a little kinder with your words.
He's been having a tough day setting up the forums and he hasn't really taken break between setting up, modding, and studying for his 8-hour long mcat, and I feel so bad for the poor cinnamon roll.

Quick little thing.. you can directly contact Tomorrow's Hero by going on their user page and PMing them
Tomo will get an alert, so they'll be able to respond easier.

Sorrel, the only thing meant by that rule is to only post things you PERSONALLY create. It doesn't HAVE to be warriors related at all, it can be absolutely anything in the world so long as it is appropriate. There is space for you to share your work it is the art forum, same as it was before. There was no rule before saying t had to be warriors related, but it DID and still DOES have to be entirely your own.

There is a topic for GRAPHICS to be located, so shops will be located there I would presume, meaning artwork has its OWN space.

i misunderstood the wording of that rule, so my point there is a bit moot(it is confusing though)
please try to understand where i'm coming from, though? there really is not a place for my art. there's an "art forum" as a larger category that does not include a board that includes the kind of work i do. i really don't think that's a malicious choice, so i'm sorry for the wording here

That's the good thing about having a forum run by people and not a coorperation: we can change these things. cx I'd love to see new sections added to the forums. It'll help everyone out with organization. But do realize that it's been less than 11 hours since the forum was created. Some things just slip the mind! It's our job in the next few weeks to come up with some organization we all agree with, and keep improving this wonderful forum to be even better.
Tomo's been working hard, so it falls to us to discuss and come up with ideas to make things run smoother.

Art forum, GRAPHIC DESIGN. All shops and coding will be there, as well as a topic section for layouts. All FAN ART is literally just that- art created. No banners and shops that caused the problems of taking up artist's space at the old place. It will be all art work warriors and non warriors alike.

Sorry I just saw this, I was falling asleep at my desk b/c I woke up at 4 am and I only slept for 3 hours. lolol my bad entirely. What I meant was that you shouldn't post art you didn't personally own if it's not a public image like memes, youtube videos, and gifs. I apologize if this has hurt you in anyway, as that was not my intention, I was just so tired when I made the rule, my bad, I shouldn't have worded it like that. I can rename the fan-art section to art section. hey, i edited the post so it's more clear what i meant minus the reactionary anger rip i'm really sorry if i upset you. that wasn't fair of me. i appreciate that you're working to change things(pls edit my personality next)

hey guys - i understand if you're upset at me but i really don't appreciate the mentality of "suck it up and label your art as graphic design/fan art" that's really demeaning honestly and i'm not arguing the fact that original art is it's own thing(pretty sure it is, :\)
