Old Art
I've noticed that many of the older fights do not have cover art. Would there be any point to my spending some time to submit art for past fights for possible picking, or are old fights officially closed-and-archived?
I have a few ideas for some old covers, so I was just wondering if I should bother to make them. Thanks. ^_^

There's one from me for "Birds of Our Own" in the "submitted art" area, but I guess it wasn't good enough to be the official cover for that fight.
But, yeah, you folks with artistic talent, let's get some cover art together for those old fights!

Apparently I killed yet another good idea... oh, well...
On the "submitted art" pages, a couple of suggestions:
- could the scripts translate all the titles to all lower case or something? There are several titles which have been uploaded with two or three different versions of caPitaliZation, so the submissions aren't all in one place. All lower case wouldn't catch spelling errors, but it might fix about 2/3 of the problems on there right now...
- would it be possible to provide a "view artwork by fight date" option? I guess this would be tough to do given the inconsistencies in the way titles have been entered, but it would make it easier to check to see if anyone has submitted new art for an old fight that didn't usta have art.

Hey Art,
All of your suggestions are not only possible, but in the overall plan. I have just taken something of a break from coding, as I have gotten busier at work.
The plan is to have the art archive have the same features and sorting as the music archive, including artist blurbs, etc.
Thank you for your patience.

YAY, SPUD!
Possible improvement for the art submittal page: provide a checkbox to indicate "this is art for an old fight that doesn't have art" and then fightmaster could receive personal email notification that... uh, wait, no, not that part.
But it would be nice if there was some way that the casual browser of art submissions could select on "art submitted for fights for which there is not yet official art in the archive..."

I don't know how the data throwing is all connected together, but having a pop-up menu in lieu of the manual entry fight name field of the submit art page would be a boon to those who find themselves unable to enter a name as it's written on the front page. Not me of course, I'm too retentive to slack on that sort of thing... heh. If a grand unified database driven gleaming machine of music majesty is where this little engine that could is headed, I mean.Spud wrote:All of your suggestions are not only possible, but in the overall plan.

Please forgive me, I'm on my first cup of coffee and really should know better than to post anything longer than an emocon.
One other thing (bolded to stand out from the other blather)... last night I was looking for the cover art for Rabies and it wasn't in the art archive. It was, however, available through the music archive, and I was able to see what I needed to. 'Twas a weird anomaly, and thought I should point it out to those who (want to/need to) know about these sort of things.
And thank you for your patience with us out here on the playground.Spud wrote:Thank you for your patience.

Art Needed
Okay, so I went through the archives today.
The images for Dinga Da Donga are broken. The old fights of "Zero to Phantom" and "A B C D Puppies" do not have art, but would you FMs care for retroactive art on them, or would you rather just have the selected new-fight art eventually copied to the old fights?
If anyone wants a quick checklist to know what e can make art for, here is the list of all songs without cover art, from newest to oldest:

Not trying to stir things up, I was just curious if that was the plan. Which is ok by me. Not like I'm going to complain about not getting to do some art for something that gets done before me.Spud wrote:aaaaargh.
Well, seeing as how I have no idea what is coming in, how long am I supposed to wait?

Great job on the link update on the main page.

I do have one in the works for Tiny Room, so if I can call that one now... that would be cool.

My Birds of Our Own is still not posted.
Weren't there several "ABCD Puppies" submissions this time around? Maybe pick one of those to use for the old fight, same for Z2P if there were multiple submits there.
As long as we're not getting bad stuff rushed out for the glory of doing the art for a songfight, I think "first art submitted is the winner" is reasonable - let's add a little sense of urgency to getting art for the old fights...

I second this idea, so long as our admins find the other submitted artworks acceptable. It sucks to spend time working on a cover and not have it picked (even though this is known as an outcome beforehand), so doing this suggestion will make two more people feel their artworks were not done in vain.king_arthur wrote:Weren't there several "ABCD Puppies" submissions this time around?
