Elysian Shadows

I've been moving a few pages off of my main website and into their own subdomains, since they seem like separate pages anyway. One was the Pickin' Sticks directory (http://pickinsticks.moosader.com/), and now I'm working on "OpenArt" (http://openart.moosader.com/), which will basically replace the current Public Domain Art and Music sections on my website.

For the time being it's going to be just me updating it; I'm not really planning on having it be something where other people can register and upload their own PD stuff, but I'm writing it so that I can scale to that in the future. I just don't want to police the content and protect against spam and the security issues that go along with all of that.

I'm hoping it makes it easier to search through the things, and maybe easier for me to maintain as well, and add more art. I'm thinking of having a section on the page where people can "commission" free artwork, but the trade-off is that any artwork I create _for_ them, _for_ free gets thrown in the public domain as well. I think it is a good way to expand the page, and also to provide decent graphics to people who don't have the money to pay for their art.

I have gotten complaints about the purple theme. Is it really that big of a deal? I suck with color-themes. Moosader.com is pink, OpenArt is purple. :P

Tell 'em to find their free art elsewhere.

I really liked the Chibi Ninja, though I think all the graphics was good. Hope you'll add more in the future. :D

Why would anyone complain about it being purple? Purple is the best color ever.

:D

I love purple.

Well I'mma be doing a site for my private wow server eventually.... and I was thinking a black and dark purple theme :P so take that haters

Every time I see purple, I am reminded of royalty due to a great fiction story I read ages ago. (See: Faerie Wars & The Purple Emperor)

I think purple is a very royal color, everytime i imagine a king or queen, I see them in purple :D

well purple has been the color of royalty for a long time, so the fact that you imagine royalty in purple might be because they prided themselves in wearing purple anyway

that does indeed make since ginto :P

And that's how Chaos Rifters came to be historically aware of Purple.

When I see purple, I think of grapes whether it is grapeade, jelly or just grapes

When I see purple...I think awesome :D lol

I've set up a makeshift page for asset contributions if anyone happens to have spare art/music they'd like to share. Ryan Pidgeotto has contributed something, as well as Des Tomate and one of my Finnish game devver friends.
