Art Categories....

I am irked. Very irked.

Why is it that everything seems to end-up in the 'Concept Art' category? There's screenshots, fanart and random stuff from wolves and Spore all on that category! Honestly, not everything is a concept for the game. It seems as if the Concept-Art category is a dumping ground for everybodies picture or what-have-you. I hate having to troll through the useless crap in the Concept-Art section. No offense to anyone.

Anyway, this little tic has been bothering me since the community site opened and I think it was one of the original reasons I had left the community site so early.

Does anyone know what should be in each category?
Concept-art would be art or ideas that would improve the game.
Fan-Art/Gift-art is art created by players of the game of they're characters or another players' character/ Anything inspired by TEF goes here.
Screenshots of the game belong in the screenshots section. Period.
Wallpapers are images made for a desktop and are regulated to a set group of sizes.
Other is where everything that doesn't fit into the above categories goes.

Is it so hard to place your picture or whatever into the correct category?

No, it isn't hard, so I

No, it isn't hard, so I can't understand why people do it. Sorry to hear it annoys you as much as it does, hopefully people will eventually learn proper respect for the art categories. Smiling

-chuckles- Woooooaah calm

-chuckles- Woooooaah calm down -fans- XD I guess I don't really search for pictures too much by catagory so im not all tha aware of it...but I guess if you are trying to search that way it would be a little annoying >< I think it's just that 'Concept' is the default catagory and nobody really pays attention to it so they just leave it. Most of it should go to the Fan Art section ^^'

I put any pics, of anydeer

I put any pics, of anydeer in fan art.
And if it's a screenshot it goes in screenshots.
Last time I made a concept was months ago.

I agree with what darcy says, some may not see it,
or may not know what it is so just guesses?

I know. It's just incredibly frustrating to find stuff when having to search through several pages of fanart and screenshots when looking for concept-art. I just don't see why Concept-Art has to be the dumping ground for every piece of art inspired by the game.

I agree with you. But isn't

I agree with you. But isn't "concept art" the first / default selection in the drop-down box? I seem to recall this when I've uploaded images. Perhaps no one notices that they have categories to choose from...

Yes. It is the first

Yes. It is the first category on the drop-down box. Still, people can move their cursor/hit the down arrow to find the appropriate gallery.
