[i:d77a578db6]Are you a new artist? Do you need help with your real mediums? Need to learn the lingo and brush up on your CG skills? Would you like to get help from more experienced artists, or are you an oldbie looking to help the newer and more inexperienced?

The Anime art Academy is a place where artists, new and old, can come together and learn, offer up tutorials, get help, critiques and compete against each other for rare items. If you're into art and into a friendly, spam free environment where artists can learn, compete and network their projects, then sign up now while membership is free![/color:d77a578db6][/i:d77a578db6]

This club has many up and coming features, and many features already being implimented. Here's a small taste:

[b:d77a578db6]Portfolio thread[/b:d77a578db6] - A sticky thread that allows guild members to showcase their art and post links to galleries where their art is posted. [/color:d77a578db6]

[b:d77a578db6]Tutorial Database[/b:d77a578db6] - A sticky that features helpful links in a directory format for as many mediums, programs and styles as possible. I'll be hunting down these tutorials myself, and hopefully members will be nice enough to sumbit some as well. This forum is also moderated by[/color:d77a578db6] [b:d77a578db6]Silver_Lien[/color:d77a578db6][/b:d77a578db6]

[b:d77a578db6]Picture Help[/b:d77a578db6] - A sticky thread where artists can post up pictures they are having problems with and ask for help from more experienced artists.[/color:d77a578db6]

[b:d77a578db6]Mini Clans/Guilds[/b:d77a578db6] - A sticky thread that outlines the rules of having mini guilds, and tracks current mini guilds and their members. The point of mini guilds is to have groups of four or more artists work as a team that challenges other teams to small art contests, and to compete in special guild quests that will be hosted by the moderators. [/color:d77a578db6]

[b:d77a578db6]Contests[/b:d77a578db6] - We are currently holding a contest with up to 20,000G worth of items! Our theme is creating a Mascot for AAA, and there is NO entry fee because of our grand opening.[/color:d77a578db6]

[b:d77a578db6]RULES[/b:d77a578db6]

Like all forums, this one has a few simple rules. Follow them and you will get along with everyone just fine. Choose not to, and you'll be given ONE warning, which will be followed up by a ban if you continue to be troublesome. This may sound harsh, but it will help keep things fun and interesting for everyone in the long run.

1) NO SPAMMING. This means no answering posts with like three words, or emoticons.
2) NO BUMPING. There is no need for bumping, and it will not be tolerated.
3) NO FLAMING OR TROLLING. These are not tolerated, for any reason, EVER.
4) Please use proper grammar and punctuation. This *can* be a bannable offense if no one can EVER understand what you are saying and you make countless threads. Proper grammar (as in, no leetspeak, shortening words like you to 'u', etc.) will make everything easier for everyone.[/color:d77a578db6]
