I know there was a Fan Art section here but since I can't seem to access it I don't know what it entailed. I'm thinking, maybe just here on the forums, we should put in a 'Custom Artwork' section. Have people make custom characters, wallpapers, color in old b&w strips and maybe even create 'side-strips' (side-strips would be where someone creates an alternate story line that still kind of follows events, etc etc.. you get it).
Not only would this be a good outlet for fan art, it could end up being great practice for aspiring artists.
Here's the list of possible submission ideas:
-Wallpapers
-New Characters (probably include some history for your character)
-Banner advertisements for Sluggy
-Crafted art (plush toys, shirt designs, etc)
-Website designs (I hope this doesn't offend, but the Sluggy website could use a re-vamp [no Sam jokes])
-Side stories
-Filler strips
-ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE TO DO WITH SLUGGY.
Being that this is a webcomic based on a freelance designer and an inventor (for the most part), I think this should be a fairly important (and highly trafficked) section!
Penny for your thoughts?
(note: if you post 100 thoughts, I will NOT send you a dollar.)
Thank you.

Ok, in this strip there is a perfect idea for a t-shirt.
"When Bun Bun hates, the red stuff comes out"
This NEEDS to be a shirt. I will whip up a design idea when I get home in 4 hrs if no one else does first.

There *was* a fanart section. There was also an Announcementabout it.
The short of it is: it was abused, and it is now gone. And we are all saddened.
This forum, is not for suggestions for the comic, by the way, but for the community forum...I'd repost your thoughts (in a cleaned up form) in GC if you want a good response.

Well, my suggestion isn't really for the strip or the forum specifically. It saddens me that fan art was removed. Perhaps the fan art should only be externally hosted and have links posted? There's plenty of image hosts for that and it would be hard to abuse. I dunno though. I guess I could repost it.

You are welcome to start threads regarding fan art. As long as the images are hosted offsite and linked to, that shouldn't be a problem. WGARS would be a good place if you want to do a contest, GC if you want to have people to just show off their stuff.
