With all oekakies change is underway when there are more then a few exstended memberships.. I've found that Smeargles canvas is un-officialy the main HQ of several oekakies, from people at Groudons to Pikachu's world, even some of SRO has taken our name as a oekaki to join! So if we're going become a big oekaki on smeargle's, I'd like to try and connect all our members a little more. I know it would be in Pauls best intrest as well cause that would make us more active in return. Though I love the tight knit community, a Forum often goes stale if left to long and people leave when the same stuff is repeated. Though that hasent happened I know the main thing is to keep it moving so that never becomes a choice observation.. So with that the oekaki is undergoing a lil' change, I've been in hiding through this holiday season to prepair for a new year and new obligatoins.. I have yet to speek with Paul but when all is said and done I hope Smeargle Square will be more connected to the oekakies we have, and our oekakiers who love RPG's can communicate with fellow RPers here insted of making Role Alongs on the oekaki..
Some plans I have been thinking about, are on some touchy subjects to our balanced sprite shops here, so I'm only posting all this information so everyone is informed.. I would have just posted this in the lounge for mods, but alas I must confess it is the artists that I want to hear from as well.. And what I live for. So your opinion counts just as much as any mod around. And with that I hope the mods read this as well as the admins and the fellow artists who already work and play in smeargles square..
...
Now to start.. I'd like to say that there are a million Request shops open in the oekaki, and if I posted all of them in the header of playground we may as well forget about having a oekaki XD, it's alot of information and the oekaki already glitched once when I tried.. For this reason and the reason that the oekakiers don't know what Mtmoon is, I wish to post a Thread called " Smeargle-mart" For all Smeargles Playground and Canvas users to post a advertisment for their work, some preveiws and a lil' about themselfs.. But a part I havent thought of yet is how you will ask for their work, one idea I had is having the artists post their oekaki name so they can be O-mailed back at Smeargle's? Or you could also post requests for a sertain person base on their name here.. But it's really a final choice for the Admins to make, I'm fine ether way, the oekakiers will get to know what our forum is. And maybe we'll make some new friends to team shops like the sprites shops we have now?
In combination to this I also have four oekaki members that are enjoying the fun of lineart itself, and alowing other people to color it. So I would like to post a thread in the name of Chriz called " Chriz's coloring book", this will be a thread where members here and on Smeargles canvas/playground , can post their lineart for printing or to be reunited at Scanvas or Playground for color additions there.
The reason for naming it after Chriz is she started the whole idea a long time ago and now it's finaly comming into view, so with her linearts already donated to this subject, I want to ferther the option.
The Contest thread for the oekaki will also be revamped since all Smeargle members will have to add their own contest here before it's added to canvas, in this sense a contest wont go without the oekakiers and mtmoon member knowing. but to hold this in a mannored way without being mixed in mtmoon contests, it would be called " SPC's Contests 2007" Or something simular if someone els has any other ideas =D.
Resently I've been using my MySpace web page to host a huge amount of information regarding the oekakiers and though it's not like the Smeargle news I was thinking of, it's really helped bond the community.. To extend this would it be okay with all of you if a thred is made up for oekaki information and weekly ad's,job watches,best buys,top oekakies,sponsers,artist of the month,High achivers and interviews? This way all of you can say the news insted of having five people under cover and lurking behind their shoulders O-O..
ZT Tunes Is also being revampt with the rules, so I wanted to know if any of you also know of great music sites like OC remix and Nerolidg for Remix and classic video game music that the oekakiers and yourselfs can lisen to while you do your work ^^;.. I know not all of us lisen to music while drawing or spriteing but I've been lisening to music every day I draw since I was 12, and I've known a few artists to do the same.
Now when or if this compleatly works out and well all get connected even more, I feel these following options would also need posting if you all happen to jump into oekaki o.o..
Many of our oekakiers have been going to P-chat meetings. Chriz,Hazel,Angel,Halftone,Howler,Black Flame And Kori to list a few. And we have our good and bad Pchats, our PaintBBS and Cyan.. But I want to vote on the best one, and possably incorperate it into the oekaki itself through a link? It would help boost some people into talking with other artists and would create a stable Mentor oekaki for people who are teaching others without the use of animation.. I myself have found it to be a wonderful tool while training new oekakiers to get the reall feel of what artwork is about and it's made 40 good members join our community , of which 9 have been given archives! So it's really a wonderful tool for mentors.. Again the end choice is Pauls. O-o specialy since I know he's okay, I havent bothered to do anthing like this cause I was worried something's been going on >>;
Final issue we have is that people get confused between canvas and Playground rules, so even though it's not connected to the member rules here.. I would like to state that the Playground rules are being looked over and the final choices will be desided on Pauls behalf, if he isint busy. Otherwise this issue can clearly wait ^-^.

Well I think that covers all the basis I wanted to get down for all of you.. It's just some things I've been thinking about and though the ideas are really out there, the last time a thought I had was really far fetch'd was thinking I could admin a oekaki O_o;... Now I'm admin to a few portals with many oekakies in them XD! So I don't expect this to fly very far, but giving it a good hardy shot in the butt wouldint hurt ^_^..So um.. let me know what ya'll think in the thread and I hope we can come to a great conclusion to connecting Bulbgarden,Smeargles Canvas and Smeargle 's Playground together with Mt.Moon.
Oh and I can't help but end it like this on some post today, just happends that it's midnight and it's the final post I'll possably make all night...
Marking yesterday on my calender made me a oekaki member for five years
.. The dream of my internet abilities was to go far in oekaki.. And now I think it's safe to say I'm in the green ^0^! :Dances:
Sorry for the Spammish ending, >>; I just promised some people I'd dance for it.
