Club thumb feature: Digital art! (pt. 1)

Journal Entry: Sun Jul 29, 2007, 4:07 AM
  • Mood: Content


:star: See instructions for joining at left. More club information here.

So, as some of you might recall, in my last journal entry, I stated that the club would be doing things a little differently from now on, and instead of adding pics to the club's gallery, any Domo-related pics would be added to the club's favourites, and then periodically I'd post some thumbnail sharing journal posts. Well, THREE MONTHS LATER (^^;) here's the first installment of said thumb sharing posts! :w00t:

Thumb feature #1: Digital Art (pt. 1)
(approximately 25 thumbs, in no particular order)



Pending you haven't already browsed through the club's favs, hopefully you'll see some new pics to :+fav: or comment on! :)

Until next time! :wave: (which will hopefully be less than three months from now. ^^;)

Domo-club: MAJOR updates!!!

UPDATES!!!


:star: New club practices :star:

Long story short: The gallery is being phased out and the club will ONLY add deviations to its favourites from now on.

Why?
Everyone hates it when they submit a pic to a club, only to have people :+fav:/comment on the pic AT the club instead of the original deviation right? (okay, well perhaps not everyone, but a signifnicant amount, I'm sure.) So, much like other sites, I thought it would be better if the club instead had collection of everyone's deviations with direct links to the originals so there's no confusion. :) (and, aside from that, it's 934859045 times easier for me to add things to the faves instead of saving the pic to my HD, writing up the description choosing the category, etc. etc. ^^;)

Currently I've moved all but a few of the deviations that were in the gallery to the favourites. The remaining deviations are still there because the original artists have since deleted/stored away the pics at their gallery, so there's no original pic to :+fav:. :hmm: I've sent them all notes, so hopefully they'll be willing to at least re-add the pics to their scraps or something! :fingerscrossed: If not, I'll figure something out.


:star: *domo-club is now subscribed!!! :star:

Because of this new "no gallery, only :+fav:s"-practice, I realize that pictures submitted to the club might get less exposure as no notifications are sent out for new faves. As a result, I've decided to subscribe the club (which also helped with regard to the members list, since DA changed the privacy settings on people's friends lists :|)
[critics corner: Yes, make a 403 forbidden setting on people's friends lists if they choose to hide it, but MATURE CONTENT PICTURES are still clickable with a stupid "mature content" placeholder, which I would probably make a person who is "not of age" or whatever to see such content even MORE curious, and if the artist clicked the "allow original file to be downloaded", THAT picture is NOT filtered. So in short: wtf.]



:star: Please re-fav any deviations you've faved here!!! :star:

I spent the majority of the day yesterday going through deviations in the gallery and I sent a note to EVERY SINGLE PERSON that faved a pic here instead of the original deviation, to let them know that their fav would be disappearing soon and if they could please fav the original pic. I sent out over 100 notes. :faint::faint::faint: I'm lookin' out for you guys! Don't ever say I don't care. hehe ;p:heart:


:star: The journal layout here is a work in progress :star:

Please bear with me while I fiddle with it. ^^;




Okie dokies, I think that's it for now. :phew: Thanks to everyone for being so patient. :hug: Hopefully the first thumbnail feature journal will be up within the next few weeks. ^^; :slow:


:heart: Sincerely,
:iconilovegravy: =ilovegravy

Attention fellow Domo-Kun club members,

I would just like to extend a warm gesture of thanks for your patience and possible ignorance on the fact that we update here once in a Blue Moon! On behalf of =ilovegravy and myself (=Denkou-no-Ronin), I sincerely apologise for our slackness, we aren't really living up to the Japanese' work ethic which causes large amounts of Nihon-jin to die every year from Karoshi, aka death from overwork. We at ~domo-club are indeed the opposite, we're slack and we rarely update, and as such our purpose here is to sit and look pretty!

Regardless of our crappy work ethic, I will try to update here more often, as this is a club that deserves love and attention, among other things :) I'll be working on adding members in the coming days, so stay tuned Deviants!

Warmest regards,
- =Denkou-no-Ronin & on behalf of =ilovegravy

club update!!!

Wed Aug 9, 2006, 11:18 PM
I've added about 12 new members since my last update and a few more deviations to the gallery :)

Also it was pointed out to me that there might be some people who would like to watch the club but NOT be part of the club :O so if that is the case please send me a note that you'd rather not be on the members list/watched back.
(I'm going make it that way, instead of vice versa "send me a note if you want to be part of the club", cuz I'm guessing that 95% of the people who come here want to be part of the club, and the message center can get pretty unmanageable as it is, so the less messages/notes I have to deal with, the better :faint:


BUT! As always if you want to submit art to the gallery, please send me a note, as I don't always get a chance to check the comments posted on the front page ^^;


yay domokun!



----

ok, I just spent the entire night updating this place :faint: :faint: :faint: (about 5-7 hours of watching/adding, commenting, and uploading deviations :faint:), and I changed the members list to the club's friends list, which you can see here: [link] :)

anyhoo, as always, please let me know if you watched the club and were not watched back OR submitted some art and it wasn't added to the gallery. (I'm pretty sure I FINALLY got all caught up with that :fingerscrossed:)


:heart: the worst admin in the world,

Domo-club update!! :)

News!:

Hi again!! =ilovegravy here :D okay, so our free subscription lapsed, and I never got to do that silly thumbnail idea ^^; so I just forked over 5 bucks so the idea could go on, haha =Denkou-no-Ronin suggested we take donations for future subscriptions... would anyone be willing to donate money for that? hehe one dollar or a couple cents would even be cool. But anyhoo, I figured I'd just check before I setup anything :hmm:

Unfortunately, I LOST the list of thumbnails I wanted to link here!! (due to a computer crash and me stupidly not saving it in a text file :shakefist:) so in the meantime, here's some thumbs off the top of my head that I like:



And this is =Denkou-no-Ronin's pick, which I wasn't aware of prior, but I love it too!! :love:



Feel free to add more, other domo-admins! :D

In other news...
As you might have noticed, the club FINALLY has an ID! :dance: ^^; and also in our gallery is the first submission to the club! :) so if you are also interested in having a pic featured in the gallery, just make sure it's in your own gallery first, then send a note to the club to submit it!

Besides that, I set up the club's journal entries now so that the member's list has its own entry, and the basic club info also has its own entry. They are both linked below.

:heart: the infrequent admin ^^;
