Well...here we are with another week of the Neighborhood News, where I will be alerting you to the latest happenings around the site!

 ~Did You Know?~  

We have an FAQ/Help section. Introduced back in November of last year, this section is a comprehensive collection of commonly asked questions in the Renderosity Digital Art Community. If you don't see your question listed, all you need to do is ask. You can read the introduction here. 

~Around the Forums~ 

Fitting this week to highlight the Photography Forum first, as both of Renderosity's Moderators of the Photography Forum have been interviewed recently by Dee-Marie in the Front Page News:

Daniel (danob) O'Byrne: An Eye For Beauty! In the world of photography Daniel (danob) O'Byrne is remarkable; not only for his natural talent, but even more so for his rare lack of artistic ego. Danny is a humble man with an innate eye for recording the beauty of the world through his camera lens. Interview by Dee-Marie

Bruce (pushinfaders) Clayton— Renaissance Man From multi-forum moderator to featured DVD artist, Bruce (pushinfaders) Clayton’s cyber fingerprints can be found throughout Renderosity. An outstanding artist, Bruce’s continued dedication to Renderosity, exceptional leadership, compassion and devotion has gained him the respect and admiration of his peers, staff, and community members.

~Of Special Note~ 

Honest, constructive critique is very important for anyone to improve in their art. Here are a couple of examples of Renderosity Forums using this in a great way:

Poser Forum:

Want critiques? Sign up here!
"This is the "official" thread for signing up to join the "Critique Group".
The aim of this group is to provide a way for artists to give and receive constructive criticism on artworks, without worrying about hurt feelings."

(Stay tuned to the Front Page News for an upcoming two-part series entitled: "The Art of Critique" by karen1573)

Photography Forum:

Constructive Critique
"Twice a week an image will be offered in the forum for honest constructive Critique.
This will be done on Monday and Thursday."

 

And, of course, don't forget to check out some of the current running contests/challenges!
