Dylan Cole is a world-known concept artist that works within several industries at any given time. His work has been seen throughout many of the worlds most amazing movies such as Lord of the Rings all the way to Narnia.
If you want to ask a question to Dylan Cole, Artician.com is giving you the chance to ask it -- Sometime in the middle of November a Artician staff member shall be asking the questions from the public to Dylan Cole himself.





The rules are very clear really, and that is not to use profanity and please think of unique questions to ask!



I'd like the closing date to be around 10/11/2009!, Plenty of time to think up those questions guys!

So, what are you waiting for?, Get working on those questions, post them in this blog and your questions may just be asked to Dylan Cole himself!

Just a small update on some load time improvements...

Some of you may have noticed at times when browsing the site, specifically when viewing a userpage or a submission page, there could be a good 12-20 second delay for the page loaded. This is due to the Friends of Friends functionality that is better known as your "Creative Network".

The bottom line is, the amount of data that was needed to be processed when either you add or remove a friend, and even if your friends add or remove a friend, was quite significant. This was something that was really starting to get on our nerves, and probably many of you have noticed...

Thanks to Brandon (aka knightar), this has been fixed (and hopefully will continue to scale) as the site grows... Enjoy smooth browsing!

We are happy to announce the Artician Userpage Twitter module, which easily allows you to share your twitter updates on your profile. It's super easy to add, and should take less 30 seconds, so if you have a Twitter page, get started below!

The following link will bring you to your profile in customization mode. When the page loads, the twitter module settings will appear. Simply fill out the settings in the settings box, then click "Save".

Add the Twitter Module to your profile:


Please Note: If you have a custom page setup, you will need to manually add the twitter module to your userpage. This can be done, by going to Customize > Page Setup, and pasting [mod:twitter] into your page setup. This is a standard userpage module so you can add it wherever you want.
