what is the proper image size for dsg posts?

**thylacine** · April 12th, 2005, 10:15 PM

So, out of curiosity, is that rule about sexual content or nudity (i.e. post a LINK and not the picture) ever enforced?

I presume that was made a rule for a good reason.

maybe my idea of sexual content/nudity is different, but last time i checked, bare tits and penises qualified.

Not that i try to be a fun-killer... just a bit surprised when i open this forum and find a dick (or nipples, either way) staring at me.

Didn't see this question so I thought I'd go ahead an ask...What is the general rule regarding posting on a topic thats a day or two old? I understand that it would be nice to have the current days topic be at the top, however somedays I just don't get around to it and miss a cool topic.

I suppose I could still do the sketch and hide it away on my 'puter so NO ONE WILL SEE...NO ONE!!! MUWAHAHA...oops sorry

How do you post your pictures?

**Trollboy** · December 11th, 2005, 05:08 PM

ummm

the dsg topic page, at http://www.conceptart.org/dsg ...

its still displaying the 'human skull as art' topic. I went to that page yesterday, saw the topic, and did a sketch for it. I guess i should have checked what number it was up too... oh well.

I would suggest removing the link from this thread if that page isn't going to be updated anymore, so other people don't repeat my mistake.

Whats the rules on posting after a new topic has started? Can you post in old topics?

**William b. Hand** · July 11th, 2006, 01:34 PM

Ksama - Well, really the idea is to respond to the current thread, but it's fine to post on the previous days' topic. Please abstain from going any further back in time than that, though.

If you are so inspired by some old topic that you absolutely must make a pic based on it, don't bother adding it to the old thread, just post your image in the WIP or FINISHED sections.

are pencil draw accepted?

**William b. Hand** · November 17th, 2006, 01:39 AM

RedTiger - Pencil drawing is fine, but try to adjust the brightness and contrast enough so that it reads well. If you have a graphics program like Photoshop or Painter, you can build on top of your pencil-drawing nicely, too.

I am kind of curious what it means if threads like the "character:white" thread and the like are called open ended?
I kind of thought it was literal like: you can add pictures later on, but the one I mentioned above is closed. So I thought I'd ask.

**dan liimatta** · November 22nd, 2006, 07:43 AM

Pythiadelphie
I'm not the official word on the matter, but my simple take is that you can be open ended with the concept, not the time.

**Bismod** · February 19th, 2007, 03:49 AM

When can we expect a new sketch theme?

**Mydrim** · March 2nd, 2007, 06:35 PM

You really could remove the "skull" link.. It sux..

**Mydrim** · March 3rd, 2007, 10:53 PM

Great! Now somebody could fix that "in DSG forum or (redirecting) in DSG forum". You know, if we are repairing, we should do it in the pure way

Well, ok, I quit now

**JL.Alfaro** · June 14th, 2007, 10:59 AM

Hey guys, Im new to the DSG, never really looked around here b4, I noticed that the topic has not changed in like 2 days now and according to the rules;

· When does the DSG start?
The topic is given at approximately 2am (EST) and ends the next day at 1:59am (EST) so everyone has 23:59 hours to do it.

it should have ended quite a long time ago...unless I missed something...??

I was patiently waiting for the next topic so I could jump right in, but it never came- is it ok to do some of the older DSG's that are not locked?

-JL

**Mischieviant** · July 13th, 2007, 03:38 PM

Hi, I'm new here and I thought the DSG was a really great idea. So thanks to whoever organises it. I was wondering if anyone could recommend the suitable image sizes for posting.

Thanks in advance.

-Emz

**Sinaz** · July 13th, 2007, 04:53 PM

I've seen 800x600 being requested in other group activities as a general guideline. That seems pretty normal considering it should play nicely with anyone's browser on any size monitor (circa 2000+).

Of course... correct me if I'm wrong.

**Mischieviant** · July 14th, 2007, 08:34 AM

Thanks Sinaz.

I'm gonna try to work longer on my sketches from now on. I know I've probably annoyed quite a few people already with my quickies...><;

**Lennybird** · March 8th, 2008, 06:22 PM

Alright, well my picture got transformed into a link. Quality reasons, I can see - but the edit also stated size. I looked over the rules and saw nothing about size restriction concerning the size of the image. I may be missing something?

Thanks

[Edit]: woops, apologies - I assume I've found my answer: 800x600?

**fakhry alazazzy** · May 23rd, 2008, 11:01 PM

hi

**cnctdsns** · June 4th, 2008, 08:11 AM

is it cool to add drawings to previous DS's
for example one from 2 months ago...or 2 years ago!

or just the new ones?

cheers! im guna get my sketchbook out and start doodling!

**William b. Hand** · June 4th, 2008, 11:38 AM

cnctdsns - No, 2 months and older is not okay. Keep it within the past 1 to 3 topics. Thanks!

**kgb** · June 11th, 2008, 05:45 PM

Whats up guys
and
gals.

Its been a while for me, so my question is for last few days I keep seeing the same old topic 1371.

How does this DSG work? I thought it was within 24 hour period new topic. Do we have a timelimit? New topics? How often?

Someone could fill me in I would appreciate. I read the rules, but they don't seem to apply right now.

Thanks

**omgitsduane** · July 3rd, 2008, 10:08 AM

I was wondering If I could go back and post in older DSG, or just keep to the newer ones and save any "extra" drawings for my personal sketchbook?

I really want to start doing this thing almost daily.

I believe (perhaps erroneously) I amended the rules to suggest that it's not necessarily every day. If I didn't, then - yeah - it's not necessarily every day. More like every coupluv days. Too many good topics were only getting 5 or 10 proper hits, and I prefer something more in the realm of 20, give or take. Also, it takes time to come up with and type out these things, and I just don't like to do it every day.

Otherwise, the rules should pretty much apply.

Oh, yeah... Here it is. What are you talking about - Did you actually read the rules? First thing stated on page one is the following:

· What is the DSG?
The dsg is a collection of artists who draw from a topic which is (theoretically) given each day, and DSG stands for Daily Sketch Group. However, since the DSG-Bot broke and WmBHand took the reigns, it's more like a new topic is given every 2 or 3 days.

· When does the DSG start?
The topic is given at random times, completely without warning.

Yeah... Only post on topics that are within a couple of the current topic. Posting in older topics is confusing to others and irritating to me, so keep older ones in your own sketchbook. Thanks!
