Yea I agree Jesse you could get rid of the spotlight banner and shrink it up some length wise and maybe even do a spotlight banner rotation on the side where the waywo thread stuff is even.
I like this site cause it is simple. I'm not really a fan of the thumbnails I don't find it that hard to navigate how it is now. Don't try to be like the 'other guys' careful you may ruin a good site -
If there's one thing I've learned as a novice artist its that tutorials and openness of workflow make people believe your more of a professional than you appear to be. Hell the tutorials on my website alone get 80% of the hits to my website. Its funny you bring this up because i'm in the process of finishing up a big art…
Yes, as a lurker on this site I have been curious to see and learn the process of how the "hit and run" artists make great pieces. That would make polycount more of a community than an art gallery. Thank you for addressing this problem.
Ok so I will write how I see things around here (from a rather new polycounter perspective). Polycount became my favourite forum. In Poland we actually have one good forum about CG and the game art there is pretty much dead or close to being dead. When I found Polycount the most important things that kept me here were :…

Ah see I was thinking it would be a faster way to check if a WIP thread was updated. If the thumb changes you know there was an update, instead of not knowing, clicking on it and seeing 14 replies that all say "joo rox my box /jizz in pants!!1"
I was bored here is a couple of ideas I had they don't have to be implemented but maybe it would spark some other ideas to make everyone happy? http://artbyhawkins.com/polycount/index.html You can beat it up it is cool it was a 30 min doodle.
I can see your point. Some of my favorite threads here are ones where people explain bits of their workflow, what theyve learned...etc.. Really...just seeing progression from something early into something badass is great. I prefer that over somebody dumping a massively awesome finished scene. Its also nice to think that…
You mean besides the brink thread? =P I'm an old man with a with and house etc, I don't do much personal art these days, being a huge camera nerd doesn't help either. I'm more active in tech talk than anything.
