Nice design in the way you view the images. Much thanks to Jason and the programmers.

[JustinBeckett]

Sweeeeet. I have been waiting for this forever, its awsome how you released it right on my birthday! Haha, this is the sweetest birthday present ever, :)

[chaosrocks]

hey Jason my dear sweet and powerful person..would you please put at least one token woman up on the thumbnails thingy? just one. surely there is some artist of a female nature of sufficient merit to be there.

think it over....
Thanks
Chaosrocks

[Kitiker]

wow. applause to you guys...amazing work all around.

i think my soul cried with joy just a little bit when I viewed some of those thumbs.

i'm so glad to be a member here.

[magicgoo]

Wowie! So cool!

I second chaos' idea. How about Yumiko's work because she worked so hard for ya? :D Or, the amazing Shelly Wan would be awesome too!!

[Jason Manley]

shelley wan is invited up first...we are not done yet...but first you all must get her to agree. There are a number of others whom I would like to have up..female or otherwise.

J

[Jason Manley]

there are about ten others that have to go up yet...so just have patience there k? :) We are working as fast as we can.

[Interceptor]

I hope this means the spotlight artist section is coming back.

[romance]

Save a spot for me up there., I plan on earning one ;)

Great stuff, love the links and love the new front page.

[young paddy1]

tis veh sexay, love the big thumbs in the artists galleries

I was wondering if the text links are meant to overlay the thumbs at the top of the artists sections coz they're pretty tough to read.

[Interceptor]

Great stuff, love the links and love the new front page.

That's going to be my next personal goal.

[stephen]

hah, cool. i like how the gallery works. reminds me of the suicidegirls thing.. which is a good thing :)

[Justin.]

IT IS DONE


Yes!!!!

[sve]

Thanks for the new interesting feature, works fast and effective. I love the gallery of art work very much. Wish to see some of my talented friends there too.

[Silvertone]

Woah, it's all new!!!! COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!

[Craig D]

Awesome,

[Elwell]

OK...grumblegrumblegrumble;)

[robinchyo]

Very nice addition to the site! Can't wait to see the rest of the site's new features. :)

[Tyranx]

Fuck Yeah!!! :)

[Spats]

Wow that's sweet! Good work!

[bRyaN]

well played good sir...the new shit is hot...

[blanquish]

totally sweet job, clean nice design.
My only tiny complaint is that sometimes the pics are too small. The only case was really Alexsi's work, and it deserves to be a tad bigger because its so amazing.
Bumskee and Magic Man should be up there!

[fooxoo]

I wake up and have some CA goodies, what a nice way to start a day!!!

THANK YOU!!!

p.s. now I gotta work my ass of to be as good as them all :teeth:

[Kovachs]

Awesome new site design!

made my day :)

[Arctis]

Good job !

[Dile_]

whoa nice Jason and all others who was involved :D Are you going to change the Forum graphics anything ? or will it stay , I dont care wich one of it, but it would be cool with "new fresh CA " :P Big thanks for you guys takeing your time! :D

[asoir]

Wow, hot design!

[flatliner]

Great job guys, if having 54 artists of this calibre lining the top of the forum does'nt motivate and inspire, I don't know what will.

ps. maybe its me going nuts but I swear I count 52 on the forum and 54 for the larger thumbs in the gallery..

[Gloominati]

Damn the new mainpage is puuuuure hotness! Amazing!!

[Flip]

Shh!!


(Will be fixed ASAP)
BTW - you count weird - 54?? not yet, I think.

[Rudeone]

Freakin' awesome!!! great job you guys!

[Myako]

:yayca: wow thanks guys

[Carnifex]

omigod YES!

[flatliner]

Shh!!

heh, sorry I don't mean to pick holes :bashful:,

and I meant there will be, I was counting the spaces - places to fill are motivating too :D

[Flake]

Looks cool and works well, good job.

[rblitz7]

Nice! awesome improvement to the site.

All the sudden i really want to see some more of Yumiko's recent work. She hasn't posted anything (that i have seen) lately.

[Onir]

whoa those are amazing! great work and a big thanks to all who worked on the new site; man I was with everyone in hoping those would be clickable, but this was beyond what I had imagined.

[DannySketch]

yer baby!

thats right

yer fricking babay!

i love ca thanks so much to all the guys and gals who put the work in, it looks SO good.....i just want a CA baseball cap now.....its on the picture... i want it!!

:yayca:

(also reserve me a place up there, gimmi a year:))

*EDIT*....ok ok maybe 4....:er:

[Mr. Visions]

Swweeeeeet stuff. Mucho kudos to the tech crew on this one (Cotron, Sean T, Yumi, Flip). It looks great, I've reading through them for a while now. I'm going back to drawing...

- Visions

[llothcat]

ya forgot the entire reason I joined up here:

feeb

though cool, this menu is highly skewed towards massive black types, rather than representing the other coolness artisits on these boards:D

[Slash]

Yumiko, Flip, Cotron and SeanT - Thanks! Beers to you!


Thats my motivation right there. Soon i'm gonna be up there too!

[Mr. Visions]

By the way, Foster should get himself a seat up there, too.

- V

[Alday.J]

By the way, Foster should get himself a seat up there, too.- V

Yeah, exactly what I wanna said. [it will be criminal without him]

Shelly Wan is a very good choice too.

Bravo et merci à Cotron, Flip, Yumiko et Sean T. You rocks ! :)

[Jason Manley]

dont make me whack you.

the artists you speak of were not always mb types...they became mb types...many were main page guys before joining mb too...so perhaps you can go do some drawing and earn a spot up there too.

[Ostrander]

I love it, awesome job Yumiko and Sean T!

[Vishaka]

New design, very cool. :D

[wesburt]

though cool, this menu is highly skewed towards massive black types, rather than representing the other coolness artisits on these boards:D

i don't know if i'd call 13 out of 40 "highly skewed"!

[Azrael]

This is great Jason! Thank you indeed Yumiko and Sean and Flip and Coltron and all else that made this community a little bit better.

[Sinix]

Yea, saw the new front page earlier... great work, it's nice to see it incorporated into the forums. Always enjoying the new tweaks and updates.

If you guys are open to suggestions, I think AndrewLey has been a great contributor to the board activites and brings an amazing design sense that newcomers should be aware of. Also, M@.. and let's see, acouple more of the arenanet'ies would be good spotlights.

[JERI]

WOOHOO!!
When I feel heavy metal,
WOOHOO!!
And I'm pins and I'm needle,
WOOHOO!!

[Interceptor]

well.. I think the reason that they're in MB is the same reason they're on the main page. They make great work. I think that NOT putting them up there because they work at MB would be insane.

[GriNGo]

agreed! it's a pleasure to go through all those mini portafolios :D

[Icon]

;P Nice work guys, quite nice. It's nice to see that CA. is changing constantly adding all these interesting things, it really makes me want to come back every time! ca. it's seriously not just another forum ;p

[Simon.Rain]

wohhh, I leave for 3 days and it s all different and new

I like it a lot =)

Great Job everyone

[strych9ine]

The sponsors have helped in various ways as this community has grown...others will be added over the course of this year. The creation of the new main page comes from all the talented peeps mentioned in the post that started this thread.

cool. love the thumb galleries and how the images open in the same window. this is the kind of shit that made me choose conceptart.org as my homepage. you guys are win. thanks to everyone that worked and still are working on this thing. good job =)

[ndp]

whoooooa! thank you all for making this work, the new page rocks.

[llothcat]

I do like that lightbox effect.

[Jason Manley]

lloth...you need to stay out of this thread and the drama..

[character]

i vote for mike corriero to be up there! MIKE!! MIKE!! MIKE!!

[Brendan N]

*BUMP*

Just curious, are there artists still being added to the thumbnail list? When viewing in forum the thumbnail banner there appear to be only 2 spots left, when viewing the main page there appear to be 4 spots left. Foster hasn't even been put up there yet ( I guess he hasn't gotten the information or images to you guys yet) since I know he was one who was definitely going to be added. I'd like to think it were possible to add a bunch more considering the amount of talent and professionals who have still gone unrecognized as far as the thumbnail banner list goes.

Gangus
Foster
Viag
Jakkas
Mentler
Living Rope
Miracola
Bluefooted
Steph Laberis
John Kearney
Iconophobian
Artkitty
Dave Palumbo
Hurricane
Poshspice <-- forgot to add ;)

and that's just off the top of my head, I know there are tons of others. I realize you can't add everyone because the space just isn't there and it would look tacky but I'd like to see a few more skilled professional and non professional status hard working constantly contributing members up there ;)

Mike -

Mike, you forgot your own name :). and I second all your suggestions.... damn, there are so many out-of-this-world artists around here...

- d.

[Stark]

I agree with mike's list...but I'd like to add Llewellyn up there also...his recent post in FF was amazing...Also, I'd like to see some new people up there who have been making strides this past year or so...Just to show where they've been and how they've come along...

[Dile_]

Stark.. Llewellyn is already there... kinda ^^

Mike.. actually I was VERY surprised when this feature was new and I couldn't find your name up there :( Kinda disappointing also... cause you have worked hard and you always help the community ! and your skills are mind blowing GAH! theres no reason for not putting you up there !

~Dile

[Jorge Gecov]

I agree with Mike's list too and would like to add Koshime and Mike Corriero.

[Stark]

Just to go against the grain....I vote Hurricane and not Mike.. :O

[Steph Laberis]

Thanks for the mention Mike ^^; I very much second your presence should be up there as well!

I've submitted my artwork for the gallery (sadly I couldn't clear NDAs and thus could only post personal work :sadcheerleader: ) so I'm just sitting tight for now :)

[Kan Muftić]

Although i draw since i can hold the pencil in my hand, every time i click on one of those thumbnails i wish i had started earlier.
For me, life has changed since i became a member of this community and i enjoy every single day of it ever since.
Thanks for giving us this portal.
Best,

[bluefooted]

Thanks, Mike! You should definitely be up there... I don't care what you say.

I really enjoy the thumbnails and it's nice to be able to point someone to the forums and give them easy access to the quality of work here.

[Kan Muftić]

And yeah, Mike definetily needs to climb up that sweet little bar too.
None helped me more then him here, btw..

[Aly Fell]

Get that Corriero fellah up there...! :)

[nicolas]

Poshy has to go up!!!! Ive said it before, I'll say it again. Aly ftw!

[0kelvin]

HOORAY FOR STEPH!

Congrats!



Eric

[Steph Laberis]

Eeeek, thank you guys! It was a huge surprise at work for sure! I do feel like the runt of the litter up there though, I need to rifle through my recent stuff and see if anything else is ready to add.

Mike: Did you mean extra work as in quality-wise, or extra work as in quantity-wise? O_o;;

[Icon]

CONGRATS STEPH!! :D

Mike: :P I'm honored to be thought about in your list to go up there, but quite frankly I would feel too overwhelmed! I still have so much to learn that I'd be out of place up there! Maybe in like 6 or 10 years! :P
but I think i'd like to see you there more! :D You've worked so hard, and are practically every where else in this comunity, you should definetly be up there!
