Hey, Anakin, I have an idea. How about putting up a Fan Art Forum? Personally, I have no drawing talent whatsoever, but I know some other people on this board do, and fan art is always interesting. How about it? It's just a thought.

I think that's a great idea, Rogue Angel. I have found some art online that I would love to post... it isn't really Star Wars stuff, just nicely dark and weird things, but some of it kind of reminds me of what maybe Khar Delba or Yavin or Korriban might look like (these are kinda weird planetary landscapes) and I am simply dying to post these somewhere...!

Wonderful idea Rogue. The only problems are flooding a board with slow loading images, copyright problems, and generaly people taking credit for others work.

I have no say in it, it's totally up to Ani, but also, Graysith, by Fan Art, it's just like on the Dark Lords of the Sith homepage, it's pretty much gotta be Star Wars related, unless Ani makes it otherwise. Thats why the Forum you wanted worked, cause it wasn't Fan Art but just whatever random pictures.

But I think it's a wonderful idea, that is why I've had a Fan Art section on my website for quite sometime now. It's all up to Ani though.

*Draws herself upright* Please. I am only too aware of copyright laws. With any art, whether fanfic or otherwise, it is naturally assumed that proper credit will be given where necessary.

Most of the art I would have liked to offer is with the artist's explicit desire that it be "gotten out and shared" with others. (It's signed stuff, and super kewl)

Since these are planetary landscapes, I guess I could put them in "Leaving Orbit...."

Wow, I'm glad I got a good response! Yeah, Wicked, I did consider the page loading too slowly, and I figured that if we got some really spectacular fan art, it might just be worth it. I don't know if there might be other "techie" complications or whatever. Graysith, I think pretty much every one on this board is honest and isn't going to claim others' work as their own. Of course I could be wrong. I hope I'm not. Glad I got you thinking about it, Ani

Oh yeah, BTW, howsabout a fan fic forum, too? Pretty please? If we can't get fan art, at least let us have a fan fic forum.
