Talk:Mark Tedin
Gallery
It'd be nice if the eight selections in the gallery represented something why I chose each one: - Mana Rig: Symbolizes his work on the Style Guide - Forgotten Ancient: You Make the Card tie-in - Necropotence: Iconic card - Chaos Orb: Iconic card - Mindstab Thrull: Artist's personal favorite of his own work - Leviathan: Already on Wiki. Happened to be my favorite of his. - Kraj: Already on Wiki. It was also the most recent.
8 was an arbitrary number as well. I felt it made a lot of sense to have galleries for the artists that depict and symbolize the whole of their work. A picture speaks a thousand words eh? Just throwing this out there to see if anyone else has a take on it or suggestion.--Cashew 14:06, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
- I agree, artists should have galleries that sum up / show off their work. 8 is a good number, not too many, just enough. --GeoMike 00:28, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
Template Box
Would it be worthwhile to have a template box for artists? Something like:
- Name
- Photo
- Years/Sets Active or Simple Status
- Pieces
- I don't think zodiac sign is appropriate. --GeoMike 22:52, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
