As you've probably gathered already, our aim is to create and provide the best painting and modelling resource on the web. To cater from everyone's needs, we must look from every perspective, giving our own opinions and examples of how to paint certain troops types. However, there is no one definitive way to paint, and different people paint in different ways. The more different views of the same techniques we can provide viewers, it will enable people to learn much much easier.
Becasue of this, we invite you to write articles for our archive. By following the following guidelines below, you can write articles for whatever techniques you like. Whether you collect Space Marines or The Empire, we will put in into our archive. Even if it is already on the site, please write to us if you do the same thing in a different way.
Guidelines
Sections: If you are writing an article describing how you painted a particular model, split it up into different sections. Write a different section for each different technique used on the model, describing how it was painted. This way you will cover everything you have done on the figure.
Colours: Remember to include all of the colours you used in the painting. Don't abbreviate by saying that you used 'brown', say that you used 'snakebite leather' or 'bestial brown' etc.
Pictures: It will help people understand what you are talking about if you provide us with pictures of the model you are describing. Please make sure that your pictures are in JPEG format and under 100k. It would be easier for us if you post your pictures on an online photo album, such as on Yahoo Photos or MSN, this way we can be sure you are not sending us a virus, and we will be able to post your article much quicker. Just provide us with a link to the photos with your email. Please put your pictures on such a site if they are over 100k!
No Advertising!: Please do not advertise your own site (or other site) in your article. If you own a related web site, contact us about adding it to our links page.
Sending Us Your Work: Once you have written your article, copy and paste the text into an email and send it to tralanapainting@aol.com (put Submission as the title). If this means that you are unable to include certain fonts or other effects then note down somewhere that you want this done (or you could send us a HTML formatted email, but if you do this put (HTML) next to submissions in the title). It may take us a couple of days to post your article, but we will send you an email when it is up. (please remember, if your article is not adequate or innapropriate, it may not be posted up at all).
Your Email Address: When your article appears on the site, it will be followed by your email address, so that people can email you asking questions. If you do not want this to be included, please state on your email.
That's about it! Get writing and send us your work! But as one last note, please make sure it is your work that you send us. DO NOT just copy it from anywhere else.
