AW STAFF: Correct, this is a different site than ArtWanted.com and you must create an account and upload art to the site.
Also, I don't like the way the display enlarges small images to fit the window. Images should be shown at the size they are uploaded, or smaller, never enlarged.
Right-click blocking would be nice, but is not essential, since "print screen" is always an option.
It would also be nice to be able to see what comments other people have made on an image, so it is possible to add to the information rather than just repeat what others have said.
Also, I would like to see a "beginner" category. I teach drawing, and feel I can offer a lot of helpful pointers to other artists who are still developing. Ideally, the beginner category would be moderated, so that inane comments like "this is awful" wouldn't discourage someone who is just starting out. More developed artists can hold their own, but beginners are often be delicate.
Overall, I think it's a good idea, since genuine feedback can be hard to get.
It might be a good idea to REQUIRE some comment along with a vote, instead of just letting people scroll through and click numbers. That, to my mind makes it too much like "rate my kitten" or other entertainment sites like that.
