Comment Room Requests

Please follow these directions when requesting images and features for the forum. Email Lady Mystic if you have any questions, comments, requests and submissions.

Send via Email:

Email your request or concern (image, forum features, etc) directly to me (Lady Mystic). Please see the admins page for my email address.

Post with Key Words:

If you post your request or concern in the forum, please use key words that I may find to ensure that I have a higher chance of noticing your comment:

• Direct it to: Lady Mystic or LM.
  
• Or use one of these words: request (such as "CR Pic Request" or "Image Request"), CR, forum, or board.
  

Due to various circumstances, I am limited to browsing the forum and skimming through comments. If I missed your request or comment, please email it to me or repost it directly to me following the aforementioned rules. If you notice someone requesting or concerned with forum features, please inform that person to email or repost his/her message directly to me, or give me the date and time the comment was posted.

Pic Requests:

Please keep these in mind before requesting anything:

• Official TGS illustrations have first priority as CR images.
  
• Only images of canon characters from TGS and Gargoyles are allowed for the forum.
  
• Personal portraits of yourself and images of non-canon TGS or Gargoyles characters are not allowed.
  
• Since TGS is a fan project we don't encourage Gargoyles screenshots (even modified screenshots) for CR images.
  
• Hand drawn illustrations (traditional and computer enhanced/colored) are recommended.
  

Requesting an Image:

First, view the archive of requests to see if similar requests for CR images already exist. If there are none, email all requests to me before any images are created. The reason for this is that there may already be existing images made by the TGS Staff that suit your requests. If you post your request in the forum, please use key words that I may find to ensure I notice it and ensure a higher chance of your request getting met. Requests are accepted at any time and will be publicly archived.

Meeting Requests:

If I find satisfactory images, I will notify you via email, place the image(s) on the new images list, and make the necessary changes to the chart.

If my search doesn't produce any satisfactory results, I will notify you via email and your request will remain archived. You or someone else may then create images that suit your requests. If you are doing so or if you want to fulfill other pic requests, please follow these guidelines before submitting work:

• Send images in Windows/PC PSD or TIFF formats, or else in JPG or GIF (not transparent) formats. Follow these specifications:
  
  • PSD images: Save in Windows/PC format.
    
  • TIFF images: Save in IBM PC bit order with no LZW compression.
    
  • JPG images: Save at maximum quality (10 or higher) in baseline "standard" or baseline optimized, with no progression.
    
  • GIF images: Save, with no transparency, at maximum quality in indexed mode, with an adaptive palette, 8bits/pixel color depth, 255 or 256 colors, best color matching, and in normal row order – not interlaced.
    
• Send images in the highest quality possible, with dpi no lower than 72 and no higher than 300.
  
• Large file sizes (no larger than 5 MB, as in 5120 KB) are acceptable.
  
• Images that are relatively square (in width and height) are preferred, but not required.
  
• Large scale dimensions (width and height) are encouraged. Leave the image sizing for CR use up to me.
  
• If possible, send images with solid black backgrounds. If necessary, I will clean up backgrounds so that they blend more seamlessly into the background of the forum.)
  
• Don't send other people's artwork without their permission. If you are not the creator of the image, you must provide the creator's email address so that I may get confirmation on the artwork and permission for the use of the image in the CR directly from the creator.
  

If you have any questions or can't meet any of the above guidelines, please email me before sending anything. We may be able to work something out. Send all finished material directly to me.

Voting:

All images must be judged by the general population of the CR, by way of an official poll, to decide if the images will be available for use in the forum. All images accepted for CR use get placed on a waiting list and won't be available for use in the forum until the next CR update. Various factors are at work here. Please accept this.
