G'day, Balto Sourcians!
First of all, I'd like to my "mod thang" and post a few reminders.
→ As a member, old or new, please visit the to keep yourself updated. Yes, they do change from time to time. Many members don't even know the rules exist until they get into trouble with the staff. So, save yourself some problems (and a possible banning) and read the rules. It doesn't take as long as you think!
→ When sending anything to the site, make sure it follows "e-mail etiquette." This is simple -- the site rules tell you what that etiquette is for this particular site. This also includes not writing messages when angry or upset.
→ Be patient with mods when it comes to reports and work (art, literature, etc.) activation. As people, we have "lives" too. We go to school (many are in college), have jobs and families. Try not to get upset if your work isn't activated right away -- it will be soon. (If your work isn't activated within 3 days, contact a mod for that section -- preferribly the section's lead moderator.) Also, be sure to read the rules for that section (which should be displayed in the submission process). Make sure the work(s) don't infringe any of these rules.

Fan Art Features
(Nominated by ForeverLostInThought.)
Nominator's Comment: "Awesome gallery! I choose this gallery because White Pheonix_Rose has a unique drawing style. She has lovely drawings and great creativity. I love her drawings and have seen some on paper wich are simply amazing! Even better than the ones that she has done on tablet.Keep up the great work Pheonix!"
Here we have an artist who is not lacking in creativity or inspiration! As always, I fell into Jones's gallery when I found their comic (I enjoy reading comics), . Jones has a very good handle on color useage, and how to use those colors in blending.
Another artist here whose style I must praise. It's very "romantic," and well made. Normally artists who combine realism with cartoonistic effects (such as in the expressions and eyes) normally don't work out so well -- but not Jett! The style also resembles that of the beloved Pample, and fans of that artist normally fail in style replication (or being inspired by her style). Once more, Jett has not failed us.

Fan Image Features
It's not very often that users use Photoshop -- or a similar program -- to create images such as TH's renders. If they do, some of them only use it for backgrounds/effects, or don't use it very well. The renders are also fun, and again with creative characters to enlighten and individualize the images.
It's not often that broad lines and bold colors work; Wulfdog98 has made it known that, yes, it is possible! Wulf has also gone and created siblings to the Balto characters -- such as Kaltag's brother "." Having a gallery with some images that are however Balto-related makes it all so much more pleasing.
