Free Graphics Subsection

That wouldn't help

 

I'm not sure what to say other than "I support" really.

I agree with all your points, it'd be a less stressful place for graphics artists to work on peoples requests than opening a "free gfx" thread and having 20 people posting all at once. Also it'd be nice for people to get some free graphics out of it.

Seems like a really cool idea, so again..support!

Although the rule was recently changed against asking for free graphics in the marketplace, I feel like having a free subsection [of the marketplace] could increase graphics activity and help people hone their skills whilst getting regular orders at the same time.

I'm sure many people may argue that there are already shops in place that give free graphics, but the free marketplace would make it easier for those with free shops to be seen as well as make it easier on people seeking free graphics without having to search the threads and simply make a thread to get several options.

In addition, as advancement of skills is encouraged, asking for free graphics in this theoretical section just gives rising artists an opportunity to practice their skills based on someone's order. They can do it as they please, and rather than running a shop with orders and speaking to customers on msn as to what specific details they need for a longer period of time, these request threads would open up options for people to practice their current skill set, make someone happy with some new gfx, and help them to get better all at the same time.

So yeah that's pretty much it. Thanks for reading!

Idk this could put moonglare and ziggily and people out of buisness, but would be pretty sweet

People will still pay to get a GFX that they can change and discuss more in details.

I think free services section would bring more artists in our community.

If their quality can't exceed the quality of free graphics then they don't deserve to be in business(which I'm sure it does).

I support, but not 100% convinced.
If any starter wants to learn, he could just open a free graphics shop.
I don't really see the need for it.

Going to get a final decision on this. It seems like the community supports the idea so we'll hopefully have an answer from the staff on this within the next couple of days.

 

[Bluewhite]

No support.

The section has been approved and created.

Just a warning to all users who plan on participating in this section, the staff has allowed post count to rise from posts in this section with the idea that people will be granting proper criticism and feedback. Posts such as..

"Great sig!"
"This sucks"
"I want a free one"
"Free sif pls"

Will earn you an automatic infraction and if posts like that continue then post count will be removed from the section entirely.

On that sour note... ( ) enjoy the new section and let's see some activity and some new artists! If anyone has any ideas for a proper sticky, feel free to let the stsff know.
