Hi I'm Mystical and if Tom Fulp doesn't add multiple image support within a single art post I'm gonna drop a fat piece of dookie in my hand and scribble mean things on the Newgrounds HQ's walls.
Expecting for this to get tackled after the new text editor gets popped into blogs.
So here's a question to think on.
The quickest way we can address multi-image is to use this new text editor for the author commentary in the art submission form. You will still upload your primary art piece and set a thumbnail but in the commentary space, you can pop in all your alt pictures, wips, speedpaint embeds, sketchfab embeds, etc.
We would put the commentary in the same box as the art, so if you want to have a straight panel of images (like a comic), you can... Or you can do all sorts of commentary between the pictures and embeds as well.
There are TWO things that I think might not be enough though:
- The art in your commentary would be sized to fit the layout and wouldn't have a way to view the full resolution version, like you can with the primary piece. This could be a big deal if you want people to access hi res versions of secondary pieces.
- You won't have a fun "reshuffling of cards" tool for managing the order of your art. You'd still be able to change the arrangement but it wouldn't be as user friendly as a system specifically built for re-arranging art pieces.
Depending on how big a deal that is, we might still need to create a more custom system. I think using the rich text editor for commentary is a good move regardless though so it doesn't hurt to start there.
