-You must be active

All pictures must be good. Meaning that a picture of a banana peel or a bunch of distorted images wont cut it.
Notice the difference between a bad shot
what is going on?
and a good shot
I see whats going on.

Pictures are visual arts thus the image is suppose to be immediately recognizable and translatable.

Do you know how to upload pics?

Instructions:
1. Download the Brawl bin to jpeg software. http://kakkoister.com/GTT
here's also a web version compatible with OSX.Web version: http://brawl.kakkoister.com
2. Extract all the files to the same directory as your Brawl .bin photos (Should be saved on your SD card)
3. Click the bin2jpgall batch file, which should convert them to JPG format
4. Upload the pictures to an image host of your choice such as tinypic, photobucket, etc.
5. Post!


We will post up our pics here and all of us will judge one another on the work. There is a limit of 8 pics per post so make each one amazing in order to claim those 'Aritistic Points'.

Contest!

Occassionally we will have contests that include themes and will be judged.

A couple of the contests themes may be:
*Solo shots
*Epic Battle shots
*Cute shots
*Old School shots
*Brotherly shots
*Rivalry shots

and many more.


The winner recieves a badge that means he/she won a contest. That badge will be shown on display in the Member section of the first post and you can put it proudly in your sig if you want.

Every member that enters the contest will receive 1 AP. The winner will receive the badge of honor and the same amount of AP as people voted for him/her.
Meaning that if a pic won by 6 votes, the winner receives 6 APs.

The winning pic will be posted up here forever on display along with the winners name, rank, and contest theme.


Tournaments!

This will consist of the best of the best in a theme bigger than any small contest could handle. The tournament's size will depend on the number of members.

More info on this later.

Representation!

We must all have one. It will be a picture that represents you. A picture that people would immediately identify with you.

The 'rep' pic could become your sig. But you must post it first and show why that specific pic is your 'rep' pic. Your Username must be somewhere on the 'rep' pic.

Ranks!

For every pic you post up, will be rated. If you get a positive rating then you recieve an 'Artistic Point'.

Positive ratings will be symbolized with this
Negative ratings will be symbolized with this

The more points you get the higher your rank becomes.
The system works like this:

1-10 *Volunteer Photographer
11-20 *Part-Time Photographer
21-35 *Brawltographer
36-50 *Pro Brawltographer
50+ *Godtographer

After 50 you can title yourself whatever you want.

Signature?

Since this is a picture clan we don't have stock sigs. Instead we urge you to create your own.

Take a picture in Brawl that you would like for your sig.
Then resize it and do whatever you care to do with it.
Put your current rank (if any) and put the "The Brawltographers Clan".
Since your rank will be changing you will find that you will redo your sig a couple of times.

Make it noticeable and awesome and you will catch the attention for future members.
