I actually just realized that I derped. Art blogs are only allowed when they contain more than one piece of art. Singluar pieces of art belong in the forum. Since it slipped my mind the first time, I've decided to disable your submission and allow you to add a piece of art instead of removing it/issuing a ban.

As they would all be considered "art", it doesn't matter what you categorize the blog as. All art goes in one blog, whether or not you choose to label it as "art", an "article", or "other". You would have to include other mob skins/textures in the same blog as your squid texture.[/quote]

inb4 use spoilers and hyperlinks to separate skins. BB code could help as well

AzieAs long as you only have one art blog for all your art, posting it as art in the blogs section is completely acceptable. You were right not to post it in skins or the texture packs section, since posting it in either of those would break site rules.

Thanks for the clarifications. Just to make sure I understand, a user should really only have one 'art' blog? So for instance, if I had 10 skins for a pig and 10 skins for a horse, they should all go in the same blog together, according to site rules. If I wanted to keep the pigs and horses separate (if only to keep them organized and easily accessible), would another type of blog be more appropriate - maybe in the 'Article' or 'Others' categories? I guess at that point it might start counting as a skin series, something that's not encouraged in blogs but since it's for a mob and not player skin, it doesn't really have a place in the Skins section. Hmn. I always seem to find these grey areas - not on purpose, i swear!

EDIT: I think i just figured out a way to make what I'm proposing to do work in a single blog. I forgot that there are 'hidden/spoilers' options in the text options - that could help keep a potentially long and growing blog with multiple types of content into a much more organized presentation. Thanks again for the clarifications!

Texture packs need to change at least 50% of one of the major texturing areas to be posted and skins are defined as usable player skins.

I would also be curious to know this. It just seems wrong posting them as a Blog.
Also, it would be an awesome thing to allow users to post mob skins just like player skins. Maybe have another category or make a sub category in the skins section.
