MOBAFire's first Mini Guide Contest of Season 14 is here! Create or update guides for the 30 featured champions and compete for up to $200 in prizes! 🏆
Hey guys, just like to say this again. The reason why you don't alter the dimensions of your screenshot in Photoshop (whatever program) is because you can change it via the comment system here on MobaFire.
Changing it on MobaFire is important for three reasons:
1) You keep the original quality
2) You can change the width to ensure less wasted space between avatars
3) Your focal point will be sufficiently large that it won't be entirely covered by a new entry
Emi, I've used yours as an example, because there's a few things I wanted to point out to everyone (I could have just as easily used anyone's beforehand, but I felt yours was a good example of everything I wanted to point out). I've colour-coded it. Ultimately it doesn't really matter what you guys end up doing but I just wanted to say a few things that have been on my mind.
Red = Area to work. Your goal is NOT to completely cover the art before you. Yes, you are allowed to, by all means, but I think people can be hurt when a member just completely obscures their work. You are meant to overlap the art so it has an infinity flowing effect. You can also take the time to make your work and the previous work "interact", like Legend did with the Tryndamere/Ashe play; though this is not necessary.
Purple = Just as important as your addition, is the previous member's addition. Remember, YOU are crediting THEIR work with your screenshot, as their avatar will be in your screen. In the same manner, the next person after you will be crediting YOUR work via YOUR avatar. As such, it's just a little more polite to ensure people can kind of see the work before you.
Orange = If you scale down the image too much, there's going to be a lot of wasted space between the two avatars. Keep the original scale and try changing the width via MobaFire comments so that the avatars are "touching" each other, if possible.
Green = With the above technique, all this area is "hidden" or "cut off" behind your avatar when you post, which is GOOD. You want your image to be larger so your focal point is larger and all that green stuff (right hand of your screen after the previous person's avatar) will not be included in the next person's work.
These are just GUIDELINES to help keep things flowing neatly, not rules. We won't all die if none of these guides are followed, but I thought I'd just mention them to keep everyone on the same page. Hope this helps!
Also, please book a slot in advance. It'd be disheartening to be making something the same time someone else is, and then have to stop when they post yours before you, or vice versa.

Oh, also, if you find you DON'T have enough working space to the left, you can try making MobaFire's body smaller via ctrl+scroll or ctrl+ / ctrl-. I personally always have mine set on 110%, so I could go down to 90% if I wanted a whole heap of space to work with.
I'd like 16
ALSO: It'd be nice if people would edit the width of their screenshots (within the coding of their comment) such that there wasn't so much extra space to the right, because the extra space there can't be used and it makes it harder to add something to it without covering the most recent addition due to where it ends up.
it needs to be a minimum of 975 with a screen the size of my laptop screen (1366x768) and closer to 1100-1200 for a screen the size of my monitor (1650x1080).

rather than having it like this (which makes for a lot of useless space):

^That's exaclty my point about leaving the screenshot the SAME SIZE as you screen shot it, and only changing the width via MobaFire's image width tags.
Still no mighty no. 11 yet? That's okay, it gives me time to sleep tonight so I can draw tomorrow! Also, I'm going to pretty much stick to lineart. This is going much faster than I anticipated!
