      Hey,

      As someone who frequents both the Image gallery and the developers board I have noticed that there is a bit of a lack of communication between the 2 groups. I know that a 100x100 landing pict is really not enough to show of the graphical talents of many of the members of the image gallery but there are so many 'Need Graphics!' posts taht I thought I would try to do something about it.

      I propose a webpage that has a listing of both avaliable artists and people who need artwork. This would be a nice extention to the already very nice Resource Freigter 3, (David if you could add this as a page to the site I would be gratefull), but failing that myself of someone with some really good page bilding skills could throw something together. I think something like a list of names with contact info and some sample work, pretty simple stuff.

      Anyway, if there is not enough demand for something like this I strongly suggest that people look at the work over there, if anything you will learn to do your own graphics, which is the best thing you can do really. And it won't take long before you can make plenty decent ships for EV. (It will take a while longer to make really good ships for EV Nova as its shipyard shots are 640x480 . . . YES! :))

      Any comments?

      Good thinking, a page like that would be very useful for people seeking artists, and artists that are bored out of their minds. Great idea.

      In a few weeks, a portal for EV plug developers called EV-Dev.net will go live, and will have every resource needed to create plugs. It's going to be run using the (url="http://"http://www.phpnuke.org")PHP Nuke(/url) scripts, and will feature articles written by many members of the EV community.

      Wow! Very cool. So columns on plug design I'd assume? 😉 Will there also be some reviews of plugs/editors/etc.? 'Cause that might be cool...

      The site will feature articles on graphics, plug coding, storywriting, plug design and other plug related topics. As for reviews, we will have reviews/previews of all major TC's and editors as they come along. Hrm..I think it's time to make an annoucement.

      Hmmm... I would... except the numper of "I want graphics" people listed would bog down anything but a T3 while the list of "avalible people who do graphics for free" can easily be counted on my watch hands. And I use a digital watch. 😉

      Hmmm...simple law of supply and demand. Those of us who can do graphics can charge a hefty sum of $$ (assuming our pics are good of corse). Meowx Shipyards figured that out early on. 😉

      Ehh... I think there'll be people who have a graphic, and don't really feel like using it in anything. They could post it on whatever site, and people will gobble it up. Now there will be more people wanting, than giving. But there will be some. I don't think the charging is a good idea.
