Can we get an "art" forum?

[Giubba]

That would be nice.

I was actually quite surprised that this forum didn't have an art forum when I first visited :c
Hoping this will get added as I love seeing people's art.

Yeah, an art/fan fiction section is like a basic need of every forum ever.

Also fancy running into you here in FFXIV, Sachi.

Sorta bumping.

Yeah, I kept doing double-takes when I saw there was no fanworks sort of forum.
"There's no art forum? huh.... I guess there's no art forum...... Really?! .......... There really isn't one. .................. Really?!"

Regarding reddit, a lot of the stuff I share with my friends ends up coming from there. But I tend to not go there unless I suspect there's an interview translation I want to read. And last I recall, they try to filter most of the art out since it's still a forum discussing the game itself--which I agree with. If it's funny or amazing stuff, it's generally accepted anyway. But otherwise, it's encouraged to stick it into /r/FFXIVart instead so as to not clutter up discussion. It's still pretty darn cluttered though.

I suppose part of the reason there isn't one here could be that there's a tendency for people to throw in NSFW material. And then there's always debate on where's the line for NSFW, and mods get cabbages thrown at them for any inconsistencies.
But if that can be avoided, then I'd really really love to see a forum made for stuff by fans.

If I had more time in the day, I suppose I could go around through YT, reddit, tumblr, twitter, fb, pinterest, imgur, dA, and who knows wherever else. But even if I did have that kind of time, I think it's a hassle that I'd have to go everywhere-but-here to find anything of this sort.


Finishing this post off with an example of stuff I hope to see more of here:

Hello Saito ~ x)

[Annah]

This is an awesome idea!!

[JumperX]

I support this idea. I know a lot of people with the desire to share their art and amateur who wishes to have a constructive critique! They really need to create a section in this forums.

I'm all for it but I don't trust SE to give it to anyone outside of the JP forums, seeing as they gave them both a Glamour Suggestion Forum and a Forum to show off their UI Layouts. :B
