art artist needed

-Timo-

hello all,
I am making a game and alreay put some (bad) art in it that really needs to be better
and I'm very very very bad in it...
can someone make some art for me? PM me pls
(how can I put an image here so you can look what I want?)

Wingmanapps

First of all. I assume you want pay somebody to help you?
Secondly, what is your budget?
What is your requested style - Vector/pixel/etc?

-Timo-

I'm very bad in art and maby someone just started with art and want to try it.
it cant be worse than what I have...
I don't have much money so I want to try it for free but maby if you need help too I can help you with something (with rules or something)
and I wanted to put a picture here but I dont know how... (do you know how?)

I'm pretty sure requesting free art is against forums rules, you'll probably find a mod steps in soon to clarify that.

As for posting images, firstly you need to host them somewhere online (dropbox, tinypic, etc), then type the following in to your post:

<$img src="www.linkToMyImage.png">

But remove the $ sign and it'll work.

-Timo-

I'm not really asking for free art. I want to trade art for help in rules.

here is the picture:


the idea is the man has to go to the portal and cant touch the laser
later in this game he has to: (also need art for these)
open doors with keys
with a switch turn of the lasers
watch out for the lasershooter
gravity change to the ceiling

picture doesnt work?

BoomshackBarry

Did you put it in the public folder on dropbox?

-Timo-

yes, I think so

-Timo-

really sorry for the other posts... is there a way I can delete them?

BoomshackBarry

From your link it looks like you've got it hosted in your own area of dropbox. You need to drag it into the folder called 'Public', then right click it and choose 'copy public link'. Then use that link in your post, and remember to add the "quotes" around the link like my first example

-Timo-

yes I did foget the "quotes"
hope this works

-Timo-

other try with imageshack

BoomshackBarry

Holy Moly! I may be off the mark but it looks to me like your dropbox image still isn't in the public folder. Any images in my public folder have a different link structure to the one you're using (I can see what you're typing by quoting your posts). The link structure you're posting looks like the links I get when images are hosted within my private area of dropbox?

-Timo-

I just putted it in my dropbox and then I do rightclick and then share dropboxlink
I copy the link and typ this: <$img src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/kqrdyr4zcw75147/screenshot1.png"> (without $)

-Timo-

like this maby?

If you want to have a picture embeded in the thread, it don't work with dropbox for some reason. But you could use for example imageshack or tinypic

BoomshackBarry

Some step by step instructions:

1. You HAVE to upload the image in to the dropbox folder called 'Public', because this is the only folder in your dropbox that you can use to post images on a forum. If you can't see the public folder from your local dropbox install you need to go to the dropbox website to access it.

2. Using the dropbox website, right click the image you just uploaded.

3. Click 'Copy Public Link'.

4. Copy the link to the clipboard.

5. In your Gamesalad forum post type: <$img src="Paste the public link here.png">

6. Remove the $.

7. We're done, high five yourself!

It does work if you follow my instructions above, I just tried it and it works in preview. I didn't post it because I don't want to have to host the test image forever in my public folder

cant find the 'copy public link' only can find copy link is that the same?

BoomshackBarry

I'm determined to make this work...

Here's an image (hosted in my public dropbox folder) of what you should be clicking on:

edit: I just noticed from my image there's also a copy public link button above the file once you've selected it. Either one will work

-Timo-

I cant get a public folder...

BoomshackBarry

As far as I know every dropbox account comes with a public folder...

@BoomshackBarry - I admire your patience.
I am one more post away from breaking my keyboard :-t

BoomshackBarry

Haha thanks @Wingmanapps, I now see this as a personal challenge I've set myself, I'm determined to get it working ~X(
