Maybe looking for a studio site

Eating: no soup for you!

^{Hey guys...

I love Another Studio and I don't want to leave them, but I don't feel any support over there. Making images isn't easy for me, as I'm not artistically inclined, so without a support network I lose motivation really quickly. Maybe I should just keep taking requests on The Secret since I hear from more than just the requester over there, but we have a small graphics staff team so I have to keep the pool of requests small, and that means less selection for me.

I like studios and I want to be a part of one. But AS feels a little abandoned nowadays, and after all the work I've put into making images there I just... I feel unappreciated. We've not once been thanked for our hard work. Am I expecting too much? There's no community left and the admin team is difficult to get a hold of. I feel like such a tool always mentioning what needs to be done in the Cbox, but I don't know what else to do. I don't WANT it to die, but I have no power there. Even the mods can't do a whole lot.

Does anyone know of any photomanipulation studios (prefereably on an Invisionfree or Proboards platform) that is active, nice-looking and friendly? I've been invited to Insincere and I've had a look at Scythe, VOS and Imagine That. None of them grab me instantly. I'm very wary of new sites, since I don't trust admins to be as ridiculously active as I am. I'm a real sucker for gorgeous skins (especially ones not in pale grey, that's so overdone) and I feel more at ease when the power is distributed so things don't all fall to pieces when one admin gets busy and poofs. I'm a member on Surreal Studios, but I was rejected there in the past so I'm not incredibly keen to go throw myself at them again. Also their skin really doesn't appeal to me right now, and that's a big thing for me.

I just don't know where to go. I figure it might be easier to fit in somewhere where one or two people already sort of like me. Then I won't feel so invisible.}

^{Lol I'm not looking to make one, I just wish admins would show a little more dedication. Sites die far too often. I'm in my third year of university and I have the time to have a social life and run a site. Surely other people can too.

If I could have it my way, I'd get a whole bunch of awesome image makers on TS and make more request spots available at a time. I thought a lot of photomanipulators roleplayed, but I just can't seem to kidnap them.}

Awww Spec, if it helps, you're always appreciated by me!

_{you could try surreal, though i think it's rather enormous nowadays. you could also just make your own studio. i'm sure it would rock, you're so inspiring and competent.}

^{Aww, thanks hun! Don't worry, I wasn't gonna leave dA. I'm just looking for a friendlier place to take requests from. That won't stop me from uploading.}

^{Thanks Sarrie. If only more people were awesome enough to think I'm awesome.

... okay that last bit was a joke, I don't have much of an ego. Honest!}

^{Thanks for the love.

Like I said, I'm a member on Surreal Studios, but I was rejected there in the past so I'm not incredibly keen to go throw myself at them again. Also their skin really doesn't appeal to me right now, and that's a big thing for me. I don't mind big communities, but if it's not pretty and welcoming I'm hesitant.

I do an insane amount of advertising for [link] and I don't know if I could take on skinning and adminning another site as well. I'd like to keep my focus on TS. Ideally I would just expand the graphics board on there! But we don't have many experienced photomanipulators.}
