New site and art contest (no new pics yet actually)

[thrandrall]

Looking for a few more thoughts/opinions:

So far I've been wanting to keep the site kinda tight as far as community - not openly listed on blogger's rolls or visible to spiderbots - not interested in attracting the wrong kinds of folks...but then that happens no matter where you go. I guess if I want more actual views/feedback...it'd probably be better to open the gates in that sense.

Also interested in getting listed on a few more site lists, etc - too bad most of the old comprehensive ones are now defunct.

So far I'm listed at tgcomics.com - and I've got my site addy posted on my profiles at DA and FA.

Any other suggestions?

I say keep your robots.txt like fort knox. The only thing spiders will get you is bot-accounts trying to hawk garbage and the occasional troll.

Well I've listed it with blogger now.

I guess the other issue is whether or not we want it to show up in search engine searches for this sort of topic - currently typing in the site name doesn't bring it up at all - even in google.

I'm more for the restricted approach.
People who are into TF/TG will get to the Process, and find you site through there.
Or find you on DA/FA and follow the link to the blog.
Even for you it might be better if only the "right" people find the blog.

Still, it's great to have you back, with all this art coming up I'm quite excited !

More contest entries posted....including flash! Wooo! Bringing out the big guns here. I'm impressed ;p

(course blogspot/google are a hassle for actually posting flash - eventually should be able to link directly from the DA page, but I did say no prior posting ;p).

Details for contest 2 will be going up very soon --- something spooky and halloweeny - very retro this time. Stay tuned.

Awesome additions! The flash comic was good and anything by Enginesykie is amazing

[thrandrall]

Well first contest is officially over - only thing left is for you folks to vote on your favorite - for bonus prize!

Please participate!

Fun for everyone - almost any process accepted if it fits the theme.

Ok I know I missed out on the last one but I will make a serious effort to get in on this

[thrandrall]

Catching up on posting a few recent and older things - and one never-before-seen piece of (non-tf) art. Maybe some more updates tomorrow. Need to type up more of my idea notes from this summer to submit to folks for projects.

[thrandrall]

More new stuff - updates and all.

More new projects being commissioned as well. Still waiting to get others that should be done by now.

Just got the final pic back for my elephant girl sequence by solios. Posted tonight. Also some new material coming from muneoppaiman and others (actually already posted in requests thread ;p).

More good/new stuff on the way....
