* Do not claim to be the artist of the image unless you are the artist
It would be nice if you also put underneath the image who the Elftown Artist is, or at least a link back to this page somewhere in your bio, but it's not necessary.
* Do not edit the image in any way
* Do not use the image outside of Elftown
Remember, these images were made by Elftowners, for Elftowners, for use in Elftown, so don't put these images elsewhere or you'll lose the privilege of using these images at all. ^_^
*All images must be approved by the Elftown Graphics Group. Please place your donations on the page Elftown Graphics Submissions for approval. Please read these rules before submitting:
* The images MUST have been created by YOU.
* The images must follow the Uploading Art Rules.
* Upload your images to Elftown.
The images must be uploaded to Elftown. Images uploaded elsewhere will be removed.
* Keep the images no bigger than 300x300 pixels. Dividers and words are the exception: they may be up to 500 pixels in length.
* Animated .GIFs are not allowed.
* Transparent backgrounds only.
If your image has a background, make it a transparent background (GIF) to accommodate any changes in the colour of stylesheets.
To upload your image with a transparent background you can use the feature 'Upload a folder of images' that is shown on your house.
This feature allows you to upload one, multiple images or zip-files in their original size to a wikipage.
<URL:upload
Once you click this link you can follow the instructions. See also uploading images.
Dividers and banners usually don't have a background.
Read how to make transparent GIFs: ECGTD Transparent GIFs or Generating Transparent GIFS.
-This rule doesn't apply to images already donated.
* Graphics submitted on lined, notebook paper will not be accepted.
You may not upload EG graphics to your photo/drawing slot unless you made it and don't have wiki-privs.

2008-07-17 [Mordigen]: a HA alrighty then, well I will just have to try to work my way up to my own Artist page so I can make me some themes *rubs hands together*
and alright :)
*feels special that her suggestions didn't get shot down XP*
2008-07-17 [sequeena_rae]: *would never shoot a suggestion down* *cough*
2008-07-29 [Mitsuki The Wolf Girl]: This wiki needs more vampire stuff...I would make some but...I am sadly not an artist..
2008-07-29 [sequeena_rae]: @ [Mitsuki The Wolf Girl]: Everyone's an artist, practice makes perfect they say :)
@ [Imperator]: I'm getting fed up of your random, out of place comments on official wikis. You're a guide, start acting like one.
2008-08-01 [Mitsuki The Wolf Girl]: Very true ^^ I do need to try, I have just started with coloring and photo manipulation, but I do word art, not picture art if you know what I mean ^^.
2008-08-01 [Mordigen]: Typography dear ;) and that's a really great start -- typography is a big attraction, everyon needs it (as in career/busines
2008-08-01 [Slavork]: squee, wrong guides-link ;P
2008-08-01 [Mitsuki The Wolf Girl]: ^^ Lol. I did not know there was a word for it!
2008-08-02 [sequeena_rae]: Like I care :p
2008-08-02 [Imperator]: Out of place comment squee!
Question: Assuming we got the permission of the creator, could we use their work outside of Elftown?
2008-08-02 [sequeena_rae]: [Imperator] I really wish you would shut up.
I don't see why not, they created the images and donated them to Elftown Graphics. We don't own them.
2008-08-02 [Imperator]: *snerk*
Oh, right. Of course. Thank you so very much for your time.
2008-08-04 [Mitsuki The Wolf Girl]: [Imperator] although I do not think that anyone would notice if you used their pieces elsewhere, I believe that it is frowned upon. The people who donate art to the Et graphics page do it so elftowners can use it on elftown. That is why they don't call it the internet graphics page. But I am not a gaurd, this is just speculation.
2008-08-04 [Imperator]: Yeah, I know. That's why I asked. :-) Besides, I would feel guilty if I did anyway and I don't live too well with guilt, lol.
2008-08-04 [Mitsuki The Wolf Girl]: Why don't you just ask permission? I am sure no one would mind as long as they are given due credit.
2008-08-04 [Imperator]: I will. I was just checking if there were any special rules associated with donating them to this page or something confusing like that. :P
2008-08-04 [Slavork]: donating to the EG just means that ET-ers can use the graphics, but they still belong to the artist who made them. so the artist can also use the images for other things besides the EG, and also lend them out to other people for useage outside ET. but they go over that, we don't :)
2008-08-18 [ElfinGoddess]: How do we actually put an image on to our page?
2008-08-19 [Mitsuki The Wolf Girl]: right click on the image you want and go to the choice that says properites, then find the URL (its labled) then paste the URL in your house with this format
then it should show up.
2008-08-19 [ElfinGoddess]: Thanks!!
2008-08-19 [Mitsuki The Wolf Girl]: Np. Hope my vauge instructions help
