General Overview
All artwork should be submitted to Castel only. Please send the
art work as an email attachment, virtually every mail program and
web based email services allow you to attach files.
When submitting desktop wallpapers you should compress them using
a WinZip type compression program if you can. This doesn't only
saves you time sending the mail, more importantly it will prevent
the mail program from corrupting the attached files. We only accept
jpg or gif formats for featured image submissions.
We get tons of email everyday and simply do not have the time to
reply to each and every one. Most likely won't get a reply to the
email you send unless there is a problem with the email attachment,
but consider yourself thanked by the Zaibatsu Staff and the online
Tekken community for your contribution.
Featured Fan Art
We only feature one image a week on average, so your entry might
not be up for quite some time. Don't take it personal if it doesn't
get featured, we usually have a pretty long queue of potential featured
images. But you don't have to wait to share your work with other
Tekken fans, you can post it in our Tekken Fan Art Forum.
We take the liberty to alter your work in dimension to fit our general
page layout and to recompress files to optimize download times.
You can add a "Created by" to your work when using original
Namco images, but do not claim a copyright. Namco owns the copyright,
they just simple look the other way and allow fans to express their
love for the game and creativity using official Namco artwork as
long as not profit is made.
Wallpaper Guide Lines
We truly appreciate all the wallpapers being send to us and understand
the fact to you love to create some art based on your beloved Tekken,
but submissions have gone a little crazy at times so we adopted
a few approval guidelines before adding them to our gallery.
- You can add a "Created by" to your work when using
original Namco images (which is the case for nearly all wallpapers
being sent to us), but do not claim a copyright.
- Do not use artwork by other fan artists unless you can prove
you got permission to do so.
- Show some creativity in your wallpaper. Simply taking a stage
background and adding a character CG or concept art and adding
some text does not cut the cake. Oh... and adding an instant Photoshop
lens flare or click and go filter to a background is not exactly
creative either.
- When using character art extracted from Namco images make sure
you use the proper masking and crop techniques. Poorly extracted
images just look nasty, especially on dark background. Just ask
yourself if you could have done a better a job at it.
- There already is a ton of Jin/Mishima wallpapers, it will be
judged more stringent if popular characters are used. How about
giving Craig a little love?
