My scifi-art/graphic pic prompted a small discussion on if it would be a good idea to add a graphic art forum to SD. In the interests of trolling for a larger body of opinion on the matter, please note the poll above.
Let the flaming begin...
Would adding a graphic art forum to SD be a good idea?

It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.
Enlightenment I would love to see your art, your ship images are just cool! So I wouldn't mind an art section. But I guess it's up to Mike and how much bandwith he can handle.

Crown: Thanks. Since you'd like to see more I'll direct you to my webpage (address in my profile), where I currently have 9 3D pieces and 8 photos on display.
As for bandwidth it'd be no worse than an ordinary forum as anyone who posted images there would need to provide their own hosting in much the same way that anyone who uses graphical sigs or graphical insults (etc) needs to do at the moment. The biggest 'difficulty' would probably be that it's just one more forum on the main page and one more forum to moderate. As far as the latter problem is concerned I'll volunteer to moderate a hypothetical graphics art forum if the current mod team is too busy or didn't want to worry about another fourm.

Most definitely. If we do get one, I'll try scanning in some of my drawings. I know I can get a digital picture of any paintings I do.

It makes things to fragmented/not enough new pictures to Justfiy
We might make it the Fanfic/Fanwork forum but we don't want to get the 500 forums of SB look

I like your 'Aliens Guide to Conquering Humanity' page. 
And I would like to re-iterate how much I like your rendered models, especially the close up one, do I detect some 'Shadow' influence?

2. Visit SB sometime, god, we got 9 forums on the front, they got 6, if we count their sub-forums too they have 9 too

You could always stop by SB. Most of the people who post in the Art & Support forum love to see new pictures and will give you constructive comments and answer any question (usually)

I think it's a pretty good idea to remake the FanFic Forum into FanFics/Fan Art.
Plus, it'd allow you to avoid SB entirely.
EDIT: I do have a question, though. Would that allow us to post non-sci fi art?

All you seem to do is bash SB and insult me. You insulted me when I defended SB against the idea that the trolls came from there and when you were proven wrong you didn't even bother to admit it or apologize. Then again you insulted me in another thread (SSD vs Federation) for no reason. And now you make that comment about SB.Spanky The Dolphin wrote:Smiley = joke.
Damn robot.
Robot? Fuck no, you have given me plenty of reasons to be pissed off.

I'm okay at drawing. Here's an example:
Mihoshi Kuramitsu from Tenchi Muyo!.
http://ironmouse.dhs.org/dragon/mihoshi/011/023300.html
http://tifakat.idleplay.net:802//mihosh ... 23300.html
Both servers are a little finiky and slow sometimes. Please bear with them.
EDIT: Removed picture to make it not look like I'm "pimping" my work.
