Since nobody has made a thread on masterpieces yet, I thought I might as well go ahead c:
Here is a thread where you can share masterpieces and discuss the general feature of them in animal jam. Though a more recent feature to the game than others, masterpieces are considered one of the best things in the game and it's easy to see why. It has brought out the more artistic side of the community and has shown that if you put your mind to it, you can make great art with anything, even with the limitations of the Aj art studio itself.
first of all, there are a few rules to keep the thread a welcoming place for artists of all levels. 1. Follow the rules of Aj central. (that should be painfully obvious though) 2. No bashing on art if you don't like it. Constructive criticism will be allowed though, as it is a great way for artists to gain experience. 3. Don't beg for likes. Ex: "omg, nobody likes my masterpiece..." 4. No advertising trades. A trading forum will be added/is in place for that.
well, that's it really. I'm not that good when it comes to writing tbh. well, I'd love to see what masterpieces you have to share, so feel free to post c:

This is a great idea c: I love masterpieces in general and it means people who draw a lot get a little bit more recognition. Also, it's pretty cool having something you drew as an actual item in game. The thing that bugs me is that one message: "Masterpieces are being tested by Members only."
They've been "tested" by Members for quite a long time now, and I hope they come out for Non-Members soon. (I am a member btw if you wanted to know lol)
Hoping to share some of my masterpieces on this thread soon, and some helpful criticism would be great

True. I have a feeling that masterpieces will sadly turn out like the jammer wall. Which has been "tested" by members since it came out, which I'm pretty sure was nearly 2 years ago. I feel like before masterpieces, most the good artists in the Aj art studio I saw on YouTube were non members. It's a shame to let that good talent go to waste, especially since now the nm diamond armor was taken from the diamond shop, the only thing for nm's to spend diamonds on, is pigs, so masterpieces would be a great way to encorage them to buy diamonds, and in turn, membership, which I feel could be a good move for Aj if done correctly.

This is a great idea! I can defiantly see myself on this thread a lot aha. Thank you for making this thread too! Plus I completely agree with your statement there, Jammer walls were actually released a year ago, on the 10th of July. They're still under testing for members? Yikes, I thought the point of the paint system that AJ provided to everyone would allow everyone to make their own unique piece. I mean, It's pretty pointless adding a feature that some members might not even use, and some non-members might crave. I thought art was something made for everyone to do and make.
But I think Animal Jam will release the masterpiece creator for all jammers soon enough, they made giraffes non member recently so it'll be a bit before Animal Jam gives an Animal or any current member feature to them. It's usually every year or six months that Animal Jam would give a previous member privilege to non-members. Plus we can't give up hope! There's always a chance.
I was really glad that Animal Jam added the save and load function to it, I don't know about you guys but every time I drew a sketch and open a new tab, I'd be logged out for no apparent reason. I lost a decent amount of sketches because of that, never to resurface. Anybody else had that problem back then or currently?

Wow Sky! That's Beautiful! There's really not much to criticize here! To be honest, my computer refuses to take screen shots, so I don't have any pictures, but I have some masterpieces done by me in my den! I can post pictures once I figure it out!

Sky I love your masterpiece! It's very well done, however I recommend using different shades to shade a drawing rather than darker shades of the current color. Try using these color balls as a reference: It really does wonders, trust me!
