Elftown Graphics is a collection of free images which don't break the Uploading Art Rules that you can use to decorate your house and wiki pages.

<img:stuff/2237_wiki_help_9y7vcgcflr5.jpg>

Rules of Use

Do not claim to be the artist of the image unless you are the artist.
It would be nice if you also put who the Elftown Artist is beneath the image(s), or at least a link back to this page somewhere in your bio.

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.

2005-07-06 [Heartless_Angel]: I made a quick border for here made it in paint unfortunetly so it uisnt the best of quality as my drawings *blush* <img:http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/img/drawing/48102_1120673211.jpg>

2005-07-06 [Deadlock jester]: yeah, about that...when something is made in ms paint, should it be presented in comment box or pm?

2005-07-06 [Heartless_Angel]: *shrugs* I dunno I just made it....not to good through is it...

2005-07-06 [pixish]: If you don't think it is very good, why would you want to submit it?

2005-07-06 [Heartless_Angel]: I actual like it but its my first submission here....I think im more nervous then anything else...

2005-07-06 [pixish]: Well, you don't have to be nervous. At this point, I am going to say that it isn't really up to the standard that we are wanting to keep at Elftown Graphics. Why don't you try doing something with your drawings? The one in your house is very good :-)

2005-07-06 [Heartless_Angel]: *blush* trying one actually not sure what part to use however

2005-07-06 [pixish]: Good Luck ^__^!

2005-07-06 [Heartless_Angel]: *nods* I have the feeling ill need it definitly

2005-07-07 [Sunrose]: EG Mood Icons has been removed from EG as you can upload mood icons straight to your mood and select it to be for public use. There is no need for this section anymore :)

2005-07-07 [Ultiem]: elftown graphics is undergoing spring cleaning i noticed :D looks better!

2005-07-07 [Heartless_Angel]: ^-^ Im proud of my work

2005-07-07 [kris3eck]: this is for Banners os here it is Can I enter my pic in here??? <img:http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/img/drawing/114941_1117474299.jpg>

2005-07-07 [Zab]: No. I´m sorry, you can´t.

2005-07-08 [Crimson Regret]: So, about that top message thing...If so many of us like to use images that violate the new Uploading Art Rules, why don't we change them back to how they were so we don't have to worry about it? ^_^

2005-07-08 [Zab]: I think it´s the UAR rules in general, not only the new ones.

2005-07-08 [Ultiem]: UAR is there for a reason, to limit crap that slows Elftown down more than it does is reason enough

2005-07-08 [LaDy_DrAc]: hi??

2005-07-08 [Ultiem]: hello welcome to ET graphics would you like to donate today? *hands cookie* LMAO

2005-07-15 [SpiralDragon]: Hmm... I was wondering??? If I was to make dividers like that one I made here, could I add them to the ET Graphics? I used Paint shop pro8 to make it ^_^

<img:http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/img/drawing/122270_1114526478.jpg>

2005-07-15 [ally]: Seems ok to me.

2005-07-15 [Dil*]: looks alright to me too - (elftown graphics crew)

2005-07-15 [SpiralDragon]: Ok thanks ^_^ I shall make some more! *Is happy*

2005-07-15 [Zab]: Yeah, it´s nice. ^_^

2005-07-15 [SpiralDragon]: Ok ^_^ I have made 10 Dividers now I'll be makeing more. the 10 are uploaded allready do I just add my name in the EG Dividers and add the Dividers?

2005-07-15 [Zab]: Yes, in EG Dividers 3, at the bottom. ^_^

2005-07-15 [SpiralDragon]: Ok thanks ^_^

2005-07-15 [Charybdis]: And the Elftown Art Donation Records :)

2005-07-15 [Zab]: yeah, forgot about that..-.-''

2005-07-15 [SpiralDragon]: Hmm... Do I do that my self?

2005-07-15 [Ultiem]: most likely :D

2005-07-15 [SpiralDragon]: ^_^ oh allright then!

2005-07-16 [SpiralDragon]: Hows That for a house Banner? ^_^ I have 2 more I made :D<img:http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/img/photo/122270_1121483911.jpg?x=300&y=0>

2005-07-16 [Ghost Lilly]: meow?

2005-07-16 [SpiralDragon]: lol Is it ok?

2005-07-16 [pixish]: It is not really necessary for you to show us every donation you make :P For now, we will look at donations made in Paint. If your donations are not acceptable when you put them up, we will let you know by leaving a message at the wiki. But yes - If you made all of the parts on that house banner, it is ok :-)

2005-07-16 [SpiralDragon]: I was only being nice :P lol Sorry this is my first time here, Sorry if I made anyone mad from puting a few donations in for show, I was really excited ^_^

2005-07-16 [pixish]: :P You have not made anyone mad, and it is goo dthat yo udecided to donate ^__^

2005-07-16 [Zab]: sorry to say it, but it´s too wide. 448 pixels. Just resize it, it´s nice looking. ^_^

2005-07-16 [SpiralDragon]: wah la! 300 pixels!

2005-07-16 [pixish]: *giggles* Lucky [Zab] spotted that :P

2005-07-16 [Zab]: hehe... it´s still 448 pixels if you copy the URL and paste it in your house, though.. :/

2005-07-16 [SpiralDragon]: Boy o boy im not awake today *poars water on him self*

2005-07-16 [Charybdis]: Hey, we all have days like that ^_^

2005-07-16 [SpiralDragon]: Too many for me though lol ^_^

2005-07-16 [Phenomenon]: I'd like to donate something but I can't get the background transparent. I've tried everything I can think of plus the tutorial but that didn't help.

2005-07-16 [Zab]: Do you have the uploading on wiki-privs? You can´t upload transparent in your house.

2005-07-16 [Phenomenon]: Yes

2005-07-16 [Zab]: What artprogram are you using?

2005-07-16 [Phenomenon]: procreate painter classic

2005-07-16 [Zab]: Ok...I don´t know anything about that. I hope somebody else can help you.

2005-07-16 [Phenomenon]: I did manage to get them the same color as the standard stylesheet.

2005-07-16 [Zab]: sorry, that´s what we´re trying to leave; it´s not nicelooking for those who chosed another stylesheet.

2005-07-16 [Phenomenon]: I know, it just bothers me that it took me hours to get it look right and now it doesn't even matter anymore...

2005-07-16 [Zab]: I´m sure you can get it transparent somehow... ehm..

2005-07-16 [Phenomenon]: Maybe you know how to get it transparent in ulead photo express?

2005-07-16 [Zab]: no..I only know adobe photoshop.. :/

2005-07-16 [Phenomenon]: Oh... I really wanted to donate... ah well, I'll just try some dividers.

2005-07-16 [SpiralDragon]: Zap I added how many pic I donated I have to wait till I get another 100 to change how many I have in the records?

2005-07-16 [Zab]: well, at least it doesn´t make much difference for the record before you´ve reached 100.

2005-07-16 [Charybdis]: That's the general rule, because like it says, people watching the page don't want to have to check every time someone adds one bullet or something :)

2005-07-17 [SpiralDragon]: Well, yah That make since ^_^

2005-07-18 [Balroggie]: I have my own customised set of graphics which I'm hosting somewhere else, but they're not showing. The only thing visible right now is the html code. Do I have to put them here for them to show, or is it just a passing problem?

2005-07-18 [Zab]: You have to upload them to Elftown, if you havn´t? And put them inside an image-tag.

2005-07-18 [Balroggie]: Ah, nevermind. The host page is just down atm. Sorry to bother you ^^

2005-07-18 [Zab]: No problem^_^

2005-07-18 [pixish]: you still have to upload your images to Elftown though :P

2005-07-18 [Zab]: ehm..yeah, right.. >< I should stop answering questions...>.>

2005-07-18 [pixish]: nooo :P keep answering, you are doing fine :P

2005-07-18 [Zab]: yeah, except that I always forget something more or less important? ::lol::

2005-07-18 [Charybdis]: Psh! Practice makes perfect :P

2005-07-18 [Zab]: yeah, I can hope..^_-

2005-07-18 [Charybdis]: We should make you an official question-answerer! :D

2005-07-18 [Zab]: O.O ...riiiight..... How many should I mislead before you´ll take it back?

2005-07-18 [Charybdis]: ō_ô

2005-07-18 [Zab]: ^____^ just so I know how much fun I can have before I lose it.

2005-07-18 [Balroggie]: Okay, I'm confused again. You said I had to upload them to Elftown. What do you mean? Can't I just link them from another place?

2005-07-18 [Zab]: No, some times they don´t show then. And if it should be on Elftown Graphics it shall be uploaded on Elftown. You do it via your house.

2005-07-18 [Balroggie]: Oki, just wondered, thanks! ^^ I don't think they'll ever be on Elwtown Graphics, though. They're a wee bit too personalized for that ^^

2005-07-18 [Zab]: It´s ok. ^_^ (ok, correct me if I´m wrong when I think images normally don´t have to be uploaded on ET for wikis or houses, please)

2005-07-21 [giv it 2 me baby]: thank's for taking it away i didn't know, please forgive me : )

2005-07-22 [pixish]: Artists who have their own section in the EG Special Artist's Sections can you please check all of your donations and remove all graphics that incorporate ASCII Art into them.

2005-07-29 [Paz]: I have a question, my three welcome mats have text that's from paint but other than that, it's all my art. Is that okay?

2005-07-29 [Zab]: As long as the text don´t build any copied images.(ascii art) ^_^

2005-07-30 [SuicidalEternalX]: Does anyone know if there is a page of art donators other than EG Artists? (I added my name there a while ago and I still haven't gotten a badge... So, I was just wandering, not trying to sound impatient or snooty... ^.^''')

2005-07-30 [ally]: You could try the Elftown Art Donation Records but the badgers are very busy now I think

2005-07-30 [SuicidalEternalX]: Ah! Thank you! :)

2005-07-30 [ally]: welcome ^^

2005-07-30 [BlackDragon]: Hmm. with the new rule about like 10 images in your description, what use is it then to have Elftown Graphics? Just wondering..

2005-07-30 [SuicidalEternalX]: Yeah... I find it to be rather pointless...

2005-07-30 [Zab]: Here are people who don't draw themself, at all. They might want to use this art, and others are of course welcome too. ^_^ And here are images for wikis as well.

2005-07-30 [BlackDragon]: I mean, ten imgages? What if I want to have a few dividers, buttons, and maybe something else that's cute, and then some iwki banners. Thats more than ten images...

2005-07-30 [Zab]: well, the wiki-banners could be on a wiki, linked from your house. And a few dividers and buttons + something cute would fit there. But it isn´t we who have decided this.

2005-07-30 [BlackDragon]: It really really sucks. I have 25 images in my house. Bad for my fuzzy buissness too..

2005-07-30 [Zab]: As I said, we havn´t decided this (even if I personally think it´s a good change), so it won't help to complain on this wiki. Maybe the limit could be settled a little higher, but it is not up to us on Elftown Graphics.

2005-07-30 [BlackDragon]: I'm just telling that this is bad for Elftown Graphics. Heh...

2005-07-30 [Zab]: Maybe, maybe not. There are still wikis to use the images in.

2005-07-31 [SpiralDragon]: Maybe a rule like: Not to use theses images randomly or imaturely? (just a opinion) ^_^

2005-07-31 [SuicidalEternalX]: ...Personally, they should raise the amount... Maybe to 15... But ten is a bit low... (I had to move 3/4 of my profile to three different wikis because of the limit...)

2005-07-31 [ally]: *quotes [True, plain and simple]* in the forums: Things like the max number of images are subject to change (To accomodate people who use many dividers, etc), so it is important for everyone not to start acting like this is the end of the world (Like some other people's posts suggest).

2005-07-31 [SuicidalEternalX]: Awesome! XD

2005-08-05 [Dil*]: ya..elftown graphics is affected alot by these new rules. I can't even use my own dividers ;_;

2005-08-05 [Kuramasgirl]: I can't add anything to my house because of them :(

2005-08-05 [Kiristo]: Yeah, I hate that

2005-08-06 [pixish]: There are now nonimages that you may use in your description without them counting toward the 10 image count. (They will still count in the image-comment slot though) Please go to nonimgaes to discuss and nominate possible extra dividers and bullets.

2005-08-10 [pixish]: - Spam on this wiki will be deleted.

2005-08-10 [Ultiem]: i got a question pixie im wondering if i could help keep the art donor list updated

2005-08-10 [Zab]: Why don't you ask in a pm? *shrugs* Nevermind.

2005-08-10 [Ultiem]: i asked TPS in a PM and he hasnt got back to me yet i dunno its just something to do i guess

2005-08-10 [Zab]: I just wondered...it doesn't seem to be the right place to ask here, just.

2005-08-10 [Ultiem]: well its elftown graphics and the art donors have their art here so in ( I think ) more ways than one this area is just fine but if you insist

2005-08-10 [Zab]: I don't insist, I havn't even said it was wrong, just that it didn't seem right to me.

2005-08-10 [Ultiem]: i see

2005-08-10 [pixish]: message [Kaimee] regarding the art donor list

2005-08-10 [Ultiem]: thanks

2005-08-10 [pixish]: welcome ;-)

2005-08-11 [SpiralDragon]: Um why can't I add more banners in EG Welcome Mats page 3? I add 3 graphics a week ago and now I have more to put under my name?

2005-08-11 [ally]: the graphics-wiki are password-protected now. You need to submit new art on the submissions page. When it's approved we will add it ourselves.

2005-08-11 [SpiralDragon]: OK I was also wondering if I could get a wiki in the EG Special Artist's Sections I have 23 Graphics on elftown and I have more now to add. I'll put my new stuff in submissions page. ^__^ 

2005-08-11 [ally]: You should make your won wiki then. Just look at the others to know how to, and then message [Charybdis] ^^

2005-08-11 [SpiralDragon]: Thank you!! ^_^

2005-08-11 [ally]: you're welcome ^^

2005-08-11 [SpiralDragon]: [Charybdis] won't be back til the 21st...

2005-08-11 [SpiralDragon]: Is there anyone else I can message?

2005-08-11 [Zab]: I don't really know. I think you'll have to wait...have you done an own wiki to show her?

2005-08-11 [ally]: Hmm you can message me, I shall put the link it in the forum then .

2005-08-11 [Deadlock jester]: I like it ((I hope this doesn't count as spamming))

2005-08-11 [Zab]: The graphics are nice^_^ But the welcomemats are too big, they are 448 pixels wide, only 300 are allowed.

2005-08-11 [SpiralDragon]: Yeh I know about that I havn't had time to resize yet. I've been working on the wiki and uploading graphic's, I suppose I'll do it soon... ^_^

2005-08-11 [Zab]: Ok. ^_^ It won't be submitted with the others before it's resized, though. I forgot to check, but the images are uploaded to elftown, right?

2005-08-11 [SpiralDragon]: Yes of course! ^_^

2005-08-11 [Zab]: ^_^ Good.

2005-08-11 [SpiralDragon]: Ok somthings not right? I can't resize it?

2005-08-11 [Zab]: Sure you can? why do you think something's wrong?

2005-08-11 [SpiralDragon]: Ok I put the 300% right? but you can click on it and its really not 300, I can't get it at 300 pix?

2005-08-11 [Zab]: you'll have to resize it and re-upload it too Elftown.

2005-08-11 [SpiralDragon]: I don't know how? GRRR....

2005-08-11 [SpiralDragon]: Oh wait I got... I think?O.o..

2005-08-11 [Zab]: just copy it, or use the original if you still have that, resize it in MS paint, Adobe Photoshop or any other program you have, and upload it to Elftown again. :/

2005-08-11 [SpiralDragon]: I'll do it, I just can't right at this moment :P most likely tomorrow

2005-08-11 [Zab]: It's ok. :)

2005-08-14 [chelle122]: how do you add the graphics to your house?

2005-08-14 [Sunrose]: Read How do I upload art :)

2005-08-14 [Zab]: Or img ^_- if you're just going to use an image here.

2005-08-14 [Sunrose]: Nice page ^^

2005-08-14 [Zab]: thanks^_^ Easy way to answer that question.

2005-08-15 [boy of the year]: hi sunrose

2005-08-15 [Sunrose]: Uhm hi....this is not a chat page, if you want to chat with me you have to send me a personal message :)

2005-09-04 [Red Headed Angel]: Hey Peoples

2005-09-04 [Deadlock jester]: uh..[Sunrose] just made a comment about chatting..

2005-09-04 [Zab]: And two people telling off inLove is a little too much. ;)

2005-09-04 [SpiralDragon]: :P *deletes it* hehe Sorry Zab *makes puppy face*

2005-09-04 [kris3eck]: you can make the pic or drieings 500 x 489 and it will wok... ;)

2005-09-04 [ally]: I'm sorry but what are you trying to say?

2005-09-04 [ally]: I didn't ask you to repeat yourself, I asked to explain yourself and use a regular font-size here.

2005-09-04 [SpiralDragon]: I think kris3eck is saying: "You can make the picture or drawings 500 x489 and it will work...;)" but ally..im not too to sure what kris3eck means by it?...

2005-09-05 [ally]: Well I figured out so far.. but honestly have no idea what he's trying to achieve here...

2005-09-05 [SpiralDragon]: Beats me? I'll send him a message if you'll like :)

2005-09-05 [ally]: Meh do whatever you like, I don't care really :P

2005-09-05 [SpiralDragon]: No.. I was just curious. oo but I'll ask anyway :P

2005-09-06 [kris3eck]: go to properties and you can see it... ;)

2005-09-14 [Orlangur]: Hello! I need a help of an artist. can somebody help me?

2005-09-14 [ally]: Not here. You should go to the "free art wanted" forum.

2005-09-14 [Orlangur]: Thanks

2005-09-15 [Skanksta]: hi u lot i love this wiki lol

2005-09-22 [Stephen]: Please do not chat on this page. ^_^

2005-09-25 [dew_farie]: ok, i have a question, do we have to post more images to the submissin page if we already have images that have been approved?

2005-09-25 [Zab]: yes. :)

2005-10-09 [addchick]: this is so confusing....

2005-10-09 [pixish]: what do you find confusing [addchick]? :)

2005-11-03 [Pnelma Tirian]: is there a little tutorial to tell how to set a transparent background?

2005-11-03 [Pnelma Tirian]: Oh. nevermind. >.<;;

2005-11-03 [SpiralDragon]: so you figure it out? ;)

2005-11-03 [Zab]: I would guess so, the link is in the rules. :) (and that was a quite random comment, Spiral ;)

2005-11-03 [SpiralDragon]: Well its not so random, its easy straight to the point! ^^*

2005-11-04 [donezo]: alright,i have a welcoming mat but i dont have the password to add it,its in my house

2005-11-04 [Zab]: Add it to Elftown Graphics Submissions, and read the page here before you comment. ;)

2005-11-04 [donezo]: lol sorry

2005-11-14 [Paz]: Things have changed since I first posted things here ;) I hope at least one of my mats are left

2005-11-14 [Zab]: You better check it then, instead of commenting it randomly here ;)

2005-11-15 [WolfBrother]: hey, can i host a pic form the net, then put it in me page?

2005-11-15 [Zab]: You mean in your house? No. Random images are not allowed there. It might be allowed on a wiki-page. Read the uploading art rules

2005-11-26 [duckofdoom]: so is it fine to post pictures I've made but on plain paper - as long as there are no lines then?

2005-11-26 [Zab]: yes, if it's a nice picture, has transparent background and follow the other rules, I can't see anything wrong with that :)

2005-11-26 [Charybdis]: Or you could give it a background, in which case transparency wouldn't be a problem; it depends on the image, of course. ^^

2005-12-01 [Athilea]: Can these images only be used in houses or can you use them in wikis as well??

2005-12-01 [Zab]: yes, they are allowed to wikis as well :)

2005-12-01 [Athilea]: Thank you ^_^ I'm glad to know it.

2005-12-01 [Zab]: You're welcome :)

2005-12-06 [R*e*a*i*g*e]: <img:http://12.47.45.83/rendered/cooltext2396429.jpg>))

2005-12-06 [donezo]: hi im back

2005-12-06 [Zab]: Please don't chat randomly here, this page is for questions about Elftown Graphics. \\ Shadowreaign, don't post broken links ;P You did it on the submissionpage too.

2005-12-06 [donezo]: oh...i see,sorry then

2005-12-13 [David the Good]: How do I upload gif pictures to ET?
