After a bit of discussion, *DoktorRainbowFridge and I (=Overmare) have decided to open up a brand new public skype chat for the members of #MLP-FIM-wallpapers.

Anyone is eligible to join this chat, so invite your friends if you feel to do so.

What will this chat bring?

You can get live assistance and help with your wallpapers as you are making them from the other users within in chat. We can also provide critiques on said works if need be.

Because this is a public chat, you are free to pretty much just chat about whatever, and just hang out.  There are obvious restrictions of things that shouldn't be talked about in the chat. If it's not talked about in a Disney movie, it shouldn't be talked about here.

To join

If you wish to join this chat, please add one of us on Skype.

*DoktorRainbowFridge - doktorrainbowfridge

If you know someone already in the chat, feel free to ask them to add you to the chat.

Please make sure you mention that you are adding us because of the chat, or you will most likely be ignored.

Feel free to ask questions below.

If you're interested in getting critiques, assistance, and exposure on your wallpapers (and other digital artwork), look no further! Recently, the Equestria Digital Forums launched, run by our group affiliate, #EquestriaDigital. We are working in collaboration with them to help make the forums super awesome.

On the forums, you can post any digital artwork that you've created, whether it's wallpapers, program themes and skins, digital drawings, vectors, or any other artwork created on or with a digital medium! You'll be able to recieve critiques and pointers on your artwork to help you improve. In addition, if you ever make non-pony digital art, there's also an entire section dedicated to non-pony artwork.

Aside from that, there's also a section filled with more sources of assistance. You can find official tutorials on how to achieve certain effects or recreate certain wallpapers, ask questions about how to do something, or even apply for one-on-one lessons with a volunteer tutor.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask away in the comments! I'll try to answer your comments as soon as possible.

Over the next few days, we'll be restructuring our admin team in order to accommodate for the increasing amount of submissions that we receive each day.

First of all, we have a few changes to our admin team! Our previous founder, *AliceHumanSacrifice0, has stepped down as Founder and given me that role. In addition, we have two new Co-Founders, ~dadio46 and ~Clueless313.

I'll be demoting any inactive Contributors or Co-Founders to Members; we want our admin team to be active and regularly submitting wallpapers/other customization items to our gallery. (If you are demoted and wish to rejoin as a Contributor, send us a note.) In addition, Contributors have been given a wider set of abilities, such as being able to vote on submissions and Affiliation requests, to help with the submission process. They are also able to submit directly to any folder without having to wait for their submission to be approved.

I am also accepting applications to become a Contributor. If you consistently make wallpapers, and have the dedication to continue doing so, we'd be happy to have you on the team! The only requirements are:

(1) you must make MLP wallpapers
(2) you should have at least 15-20 previous wallpapers so we can see where your skills have brought you
(3) you're willing to stay active in the group by regularly submitting your own wallpapers and helping with the submissions queue.

If you meet these requirements, you can either (1) send a note to the group (2) leave the group and send a join request for Contributors. Please note that we'll only be accepting a limited amount of applications. In addition, if you are inactive for more than three months, you will be demoted to a regular Member, but if you choose to come back, just send us a note.

Thank you for reading!
