Avatar parts for cmc Guidelines

I\'ll add to this a little..

Valid reasons why your submitted part hasn\'t gone up:
It looks good and original, but it\'s the wrong format. Formats are tricky in some programs (Fine in GIMP 2.0). An easy way around this is to open a blank rgba 60x95 png for editing, already correctly formatted, and \"Save As\" afterwards.
edit: Check bottom of this post for an example single-layered RGBA png. It\'ll work so long as the paint program you use is fully compatible.

The reason behind doing avatars at 120x190 or 180x285 and then cubic/linear resizing them, is to get good anti-aliasing. You\'ll be able to see the difference (for the moment?) between some of my own parts - some are blocky/pixelly, others look smooth-edged. A good cubic-resize will use transparency to achieve this. A non-scaled or wrong/smart resize will likely not.

It\'s too similar to something already up or submitted. Be sure to check the allparts.jsp before starting work on your parts.

It\'s a signature part of a well-known character. Cloud\'s Buster Sword and Spiky Hair would be blatant copyright infringements. Lightsabres, or a more common hairstyle would not, as these are seen in a number of things and not attributable to a single production. Don\'t cover up plagiarism by neglecting to mention your inspiration though - it\'s not about the Avatar Admin rejecting all \"inspired\" parts - it\'s about making informed decisions. If he could still say \"The similarity is just a coincidence\" rather than \"yeah, that\'s Vader\'s mask\" it could well go up.

The uploading/updating process is quite slow, and especially so when cmc is laggy. Some days it will be impossible to update. Nothing can be uploaded during unplanned downtime, obviously.

The point is to keep a steady flow of parts coming in, rather than the occasional burst of new parts. This will be achieved by releasing a few parts every week (few days?) or so, and keeping parts in reserve (artists won\'t work constantly, some will only do parts as a one off).

He may be unable to put a price on the item. You can compare one shirt to the next and say \"That\'s cooler than than one\". And price it up 300pts accordingly. But with more obscure items, pricing becomes harder. It\'s not just randomly chosen, if it\'s not been done before, how do you fit it into the curve? (It\'s the same problem as balancing new card concepts. Beatsticks are easy to balance, complex abilities aren\'t)

Your part is either rather boring, or just plain rubbish. Ask some others for advice or opinions, and improve it.

It may be originally made by webrunner (AFH, CMC, ADV inspired), or another locally available person (remake/paletteswap).. In this case he\'ll need to get permission, or if that\'s not possible, reject the part. And it\'d be silly to bother webrunner for each individual part, so you get a bunch to ask about at once... I think.

Kaddar has a life, and is not dedicated 110% to cmc (assumption).

To name just a few reasons. So there you go, and don\'t bug him too much for answers and opinions.
