BigTig

I just launched a site with a simple idea: a blog in wich each post is a big artistic pic related to video games. The intention is also to promote artists and video games by their works.

• Web: http://bigtig.com/
• Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigtigblog
• Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/BigTig/244179189004

Each post only have:

• A Title
• The Pic (width = 900 pixles)
• A Brief Description (maximum 3 lines)
• A Link to The Artist / Game

Do you want to promote a pic?

• If you know some links to resources I can use, please, tell me!
• Or better, if you have your own matte paintings, concept art, pixelart about video games that you want to share. Or you want to promote your own game, don't hesitate in posting there the material.
• English is not my native language, so if you see some mistakes, please, tell me.

Restrictions

• Images need to have a width of 900 pixels (the height is arbitrary). You can post the link to the original image and I will resize it.
• If you resize it, please, provide the link to the original image too.
• The resized image hast to be below 200kb size.

maybe you can watch deviantART.com, but I think you must ask to use arts from others...but maybe posting their names is fine...

[Javilop]

Thanks! I'll check Deviant Art, I saw some really good artists already there. I'm now collecting lot of sources in my Delicious account. And I have already created and pre-posted the posts for this month. A pic every 3 days. The upcoming ones are GREAT  

but maybe posting their names is fine...

Yep, the intention is to credit all the artists always if are not unknown. They will be a little bit more visibles to the world this way. I hope.

Consider ripping off Neonlight's website template (it's free), it's great for pictures: http://neonlight.merseyremakes.co.uk/

Made with http://www.pixelpost.org/ and a template by http://blog.kevincrafts.com/

[Javilop]

Thanks anosou! But I'm in love with the current theme.

If you like Nonie's picture of Mario throwing turnips so much that you've put it in the site's header, you could at least include it in the list and give her credit.
