Customs forum needed?

[RockiesFan33]

I agree. No offense to Bigga or RockiesFan33, but its annoying to see these customs and not be able to use them. Plus you have to take time to add the watermark, so you might as well save yourself time. Maybe ask for a cc donation whenever someone uses a custom? I dont know... I'm just voicing my opinion.

I use watermarks basically because I don't want someone sending my card to a player before I'm able to. I've given out between 150-200 on this site over the last year or so, but always designs that I've already had signed. For new stuff, I like to show it off, get feedback, etc and then share it later.

This may come across as selfish, but as someone who's made some customs, I put the watermark on because honestly, I don't want people using them and thats not my point of posting them. More than anything I am looking for feedback, not to give them away.

For me, the point of making customs in the first place is to create something unique, something that you wont see anywhere else or in other people's collections. Also, it's fairly time consuming to create a design and takes some practice so I feel I have every right watermark my work and keep it for myself.

Also, you must not see the posts and threads where RockiesFan33 and Bigga have given away or made customs for other members. They both have made many for other people around SCF and I will look to do the same as I create more designs.

Like I said, I may sound selfish, but I wanted to let you know what I thought. I dont have nearly the skill or experience w/ customs as other around here but this is how I see it and why I don't simply hand mine out. It may be different for others but hopfully this provides another viewpoint.

Back to to original topic though, I am very excited about the new sub-forum. I'm always look for feedback, ideas and inspiration as a new customs guy and this forum is great for that!

I totally agree with both of you guys. Whenever I am feeling lazy, I just upload the picture at a small resolution so it looks bad printed
