"List" of Helpful Threads

[MystikLunaa]

A lot of people who are new and don't really know what to do or where to go. So I thought I'd make a "list" of helpful goto threads. If you guys know any other threads go ahead and reply and I'll add them on

Also here is a thread with of list of Script Templates

"List" of Script Templates (From other threads)

Y’all know the drill if you know of other Script Templates send them my way and i’ll add them to the thread. Please keep in mind that I don’t know if they are limelight or ink AND if they are written properly…I went scrolling from thread to thread and thread replies and I tired to get the once that seem like they were. Make sure to Give Credit , to the people who made these templates. They took their time to make them ------------------------------------------------------------------------…

Why Do People Get Episode Backgrounds From Pintrest?

People are getting episode backgrounds, and maybe other backgrounds that aren’t episode related, from Pintrest. Why is that? Let me hear your views/opinions about this topic. NOTE: We are only talking about this topic, not copyrighted topic, just this topic. DON’T GO OFF TOPIC.

Background do's and not do's

Hey everyone! Welcome to “Background do’s and not do’s!” These are a few tips in making and improving your backgrounds and some lazy tricks I use. Feel free to comment below if you want to add to some points I made. (Warning: Some points below may be my own biases, so please don’t get offended! I will try not to be mean as well, and I would love to have a civil thread) Table of contents (I may add to this later on) 1. Perspectives in the background 2. Overlays and what it adds to a background …

Be Careful Of Using Other Peoples Backgrounds

Ok, um, I don’t know if their is already a thread relating to this topic, and idk how am I going to word this out. Oh well, might as well try it. Now…just to be clear to everyone, that English is not really my best subject, but I will try to word it out as clear as I can. Firstly, please be EXTREMELY careful of using other people’s backgrounds. Whether you are getting them from deviantart. I have received a comment from @lonewolfe regarding about reposting her backgrounds, and I did remove t…

Let's have a debate, whether it is okay to use Google images

This is a friendly zone, no bitch moments. Be respectful. I am just wondering about something the last few days. There’s some controversy of it is okay to use Google images for stories. Personally. I think it is okay because Episode have guidelines in place for approval of images. Some people are over thinking it, they are too worry about copyrights. If Episode find a copyright image that have been approved. They will most likely just take the image down. Do you agree? poll

A message to everyone about using sites

There are so many people who make backgrounds, or make splashes, anything, really. And I understand you all mean good when recommending sites to use, but can I just say, I had to learn the hard way 3D render sites all have something called royalty-free license and delete all my backgrounds previously. Alright, let’s go through this step by step. Step 1: Every time you find an image on google, remember not first to immediately drag it to your desktop or do whatever it is but click on the websi…
