If someone wanted to collect all of the image links (working links only) and or images of all the battles I would be happy to host them on my site on their own page entitled BEST OF THE BEST.
I think this way it would be more easily accessible for those who want to see all of the art created by the many talented individuals we have here.
It would even be sweeter if someone wanted to make a FLASH photo gallery for it. That way I think we could show case some of the FLASH work done as well.
I have pleanty of space and bandwidth to boot. SO if someone is interested in this let me know.
well obviously you would get at least an honorable mention DJ
There are so far too many names for me to remember who I would personally include, but to be sure my name isn’t on the list…yet
Canadian Guy
Unflux
GraphicSlash
EthanM
B_Hyere
FlashGordon
and others to many to list…
but I say we would put in there the winners of each battle for sure with dates and links back to the topic they battled in. I say the dates so we might be able to see any progression or trends in the persons style/techniques.
I would also say that we should include a section for all the links to each of the battles. I’m very serious about this though. I think it would be a boon to the entire Battles concept here on Kirupaforum.com. To see the best of the best of the best as it is.
Just so folks have an idea - I have 20 GB of bandwidth a month and only use on average 5 gb a month. I have 800+ meg of space and currently use only 250 mb of it. So I have enough to host it with ease.
I stand corrected I have"
PHP, JSP*, ASP*, & PERL
800 Megabytes Storage
Priority Toll-free Telephone
Support
40 Gigabytes Data Transfer
FTP Access
Microsoft FrontPage™
and so much more…
when I started with this company I only had 400 mb storage and 10 gb bandwidth, that was 4 years ago. since then the keep uping the package for the same price. All I really know is that I don’t ever seem to run out of either
The important thing would be to get all of the images, links to the battles, permission from the artists naturally and from Kirupa, and someone who wanted to do the footwork of rounding up al of this. Since it was my idea I’ll ask Kirupa for permission to link back to the forums and other considerations, but it would really help if someone would start making a list of all the images and their links etc…
Kewl Deal DJ. Kirupa has given this project his blessings and is excited to see the finished product. Now all we need is a flash GURU type to create the Gallery frame work and we will be on. I suppose I can do an HTML thumbnail gallery if we need to but I would really like to spotlight some FLASH WunderKind’s work as well. It would also be very helpful if the participants of battles that want their work displayed to send me a copy of the pieces as well as a link to the battles the pieces are in.
Send it to Webelf(at)cybersoapbox.com?subject=Graphic Battles Submission
I FULLY understand if you keep mine out Just wanted to let you know if you’re looking for more partcipants…and need to fill space…feel free to use my crap
Best of the Best is mostly just a title, though in the gallery there will certainly be a section (or should be) for only the winning images, but everyone who has participated in a battle should and will be included in the gallery.
A rough idea of how the nav. would work is:
LINKS to ALL BATTLES (these would link back to the Kirupa Forums links where the battle took place)
Participants Showcase (sub menu to individual battle participants gallery)
Best Of The Best (sub menu to winning individual battle participants gallery)
This way no one is excluded from the gallery, all the graphics are in one central location for all to see, links go back to the original topics for those who want to read the battle mutterings, and artists will now have an additional venue to display their talents with ease.
Hopefully it will also encourage others to participate in the Battles.
