The Artisan Crafts gallery doesn't belong to me, maytel or any other volunteer. It belongs to YOU, the community. Neither of us would dare make anything the community is not happy with. We are not the leaders of the Artisan Crafts community, we are your humble servants. So please don't be afraid to share your opinion!
One of the most discussed themes is the Anthro sub-category under Artisan Crafts. One interesting suggestion is moving it to the top gallery Anthro. I just talked to KovoWolf and this suggestion was mirrored in the Anthro community. So the changes would be as follow:
From this:
Artisan Crafts
Anthro/ Costumes
/ Masks
/ Props & Accessories
To this:
Anthro*
Artisan Crafts/ Costumes (might be renamed to Fur Suits)
/ Masks
/ Props & Accessories
*Just to clear things up: The Anthro gallery already exists, I'm not proposing creating a new gallery... just moving all anthro crafts there.
Pros:
- The Anthro community will be less spread. They will have the gallery all for themselves
- It will give them freedom to include more Anthro Crafts related galleries (sculpture, ornaments, etc).
Cons:
- May cause some miscats in the AC/Costumery gallery.
Another suggestion that many made is merging AC/Anthro with AC/Costumery. Opinions seem to be going back and forth whether there is a significant difference in making Anthro props, masks and costumes to deserve their own sub-cat. I'm no expert, but from what I understand there is a different set of skills required in making for example, a fur suit... not to mention that there's a whole different mindset in making anthro costumes. I personally think that's the most distinctive thing about the Anthro community, and why I think they deserve their own place.
