  Perhaps the already existing Art Enhancify Thread can serve that purpose. A one stop editing/enhancing thread would work out well. Also I'd like to throw in the suggestion of adding coloring requests to that list. Some people can draw well, but photoshop and gimp can be kind of intimidating to new users.

  I agree with Ben.  The thread itself needs to be attractive, and demonstrate the best of what the Art Group has to offer.  The thread basically needs to advertise the services of the group as a whole.

  I'm thinking the thread should include all the things that typically go into creating a build, blog, or other post on the site that aren't a screenshot or drawing.  Basically all the other little graphical elements that make up a great post:

  1. Fancy Text / Headings / Dividers
  2. Perk Spreads, Equipment Layouts, etc.
  3. Basic Image Editing (Cropping, Colour Correction, Borders, Minor Edits

  I started pulling together some examples, but I don't have the necessary skills myself for the first bullet.  Plus I think it would be good if the thread provided examples from several artists.

  I can't say much for my drawing and coloring skills but I think I'm good at creating nice perkspreads. I've even created a few for new character builders just starting out.

  Aside from the new screenshot thread. I agree its time to restart the other request threads. I believe ZuperCreeper has his own perkspread thread, though I haven't seen him around as much lately. 

  I agree it might be easier going forward to simply roll all those things into one thread as you've suggested.

  Oh and before I forget I came up with another idea while on the move to my new apartment. In the future perhaps some of our more talented artists could design armor mod concept art. Might give the Modder's workshop something to be excited about if it all works out.

  Excellent. We'll compile some good examples of each type of request for this new thread. I left Zuper a message to see if he wants to add his thread to this compilation.

  I know I have been a little inactive. Just been reading posts. League of legends took a chunk out of my time lately.

  Great idea! Am officially getting my gaming laptop in 2 weeks, so I'll be getting a ton of mods.

  Im glad you like that idea. It's something I'd love to see done right along with the Face request thread. Speaking of which, has anyone come up with a way to get around the issue of those markers changing positions?
