community improvements by Vioectrolysis

edit: #BASED #COLORS3D

i don't understand why this paid app lacks features that other art communities enjoy for free, and i especially don't understand why the 3ds version of the gallery doesn't even match the same features offered on the colors gallery website. these are just a handful of ideas i brainstormed in about 10 or so minutes that would greatly improve the quality and overall experience for users of this app. feel free to agree/disagree with my ideas or contribute some of your own.

Agreed. no doubt about that.

Just as an addition: Report button. A friend of mine was victim of art theft here and they haven't even taken down the traced works after the original artist posted on the pieces in question.

That's a good list. Let's hope the Colors staff takes notice.

exactly! i would also like a 18 and up report option that would disallow kids from seeing naughty and suggestive art.

The "Random painting feature" do exist in the app. You know the mini slide show on the startup page in the gallery? That's randomly selected paintings.
I saw a post on the Colors! FaceBook page, where they said that an update for a 3DS game/app needs to go through the same approving process from nintendo as a full game, so they're gonna do one big update instead of many small, and it's probably going to take a while.

How about categories, like Zelda or Ponies. They can do Ponies because technically, "Ponies" isn't copyrighted.

These are all fabulous ideas! I've been thinking about a lot of these as well.

i think there should be an 'unlike' button, like for when someone accidently presses like instead of comments.

In other words, it should be like deviantART. I like the idea.

Great ideas you got here! I really wish there was a seperate gallery for 18 and mature content, but of course block the kids from peeking there. I hope the 3D Colors gallery could make improvements in the future.

Agreed!! Yeah, the search button should also have top rated, most recently added, etc... I admire people who stand up like this. I was really actually waiting for paintings of suggestions for Colors!

I agree with everyone! And an update this fall? AWESOME! I cant wait.

Notifications would be AMAZING to have. And the option to tag your own art for mature content. *sigh* Gotta wait for the update...

i think we need a search feature for creaters and not just pics!

Kaori

15 Sep, 2012, 10:16 am

yes, we REALLY need this Features D:

Also an UNLIKE button (yet the stars they got from the person who accidentally liked their paintings remain), a SEARCH tool, like you said, an 18- section (with a pass.word of some sort), paintings to stay LONGER! It drives me INSANE when my paintings get bumped off by CRAP! SECTIONS for different themes (Zelda, Mario, funny, etc.) And NO MORE TOOLS than we have now! Anything more will be CHEATING! An auto-comment that says 'this painting was traced.' and that's pretty much all I can think of (except, of course, an optional friend code insert in your gallery that is optional)

Yes.

We need to be able to search for pics AND artists profiles.
And we need to be able to draw our own profilepics...
But I agree with every thing you said up there.

First, the search feature and follow artist features will be in the next update. Image replies aren't really a need, and I can't see them happening. Also when you pay for colors, you're paying for the app, not the gallery. 5 bucks for an art program is very cheap.

all these suggestions must be added in future updates

Reply: I've done so, honestly. If you looked before that picture in my gallery, I've 5 pictures posted between the last 'flation I did (not counting the WIP), 7 before the last pokemon 'flation. No harm in words intended either. And as a comment to the picture.. Most are now solved thanks to the update (Captian Obvious much?). I think the replies part isn't there because the main site doesn't have it yet. Silly sounding, now that we've following as an option... But replies sounds like something the site would need first, not the 3DS. Just my thoughts...

who are you to tell someone their art is useless? u think it's okay to make rude comments on art? sure constructive criticism is okay but your rudeness just shows your stupidity , now tah tah darling i cant type to many words because you are definitely not worth them.
