inkblot vs paint_splatter

Posted under General

I'd kind of like inkblot to be for shapes that actually look like ink spots that dripped from a fountain pen. Not exactly sure how to define that in a wiki, though (I knows it when I sees it, but that's about it), so I guess the color thing is okay too.

A related issue: do we need a separate tag for "in-universe" paint splatters that come from paint appearing as an object in the actual image, as opposed to paint splatters applied like Photoshop filters? Posts like post #870013 and post #82841 strike me as very different from the rest of the paint_splatter tag.

ok, thanks for all the advice. i'll update the wiki entries and state the color restriction. there are very few posts at the moment so i can clean them and maybe add a couple of entries for inkblot.

however, i encountered post #898516 just now. it's tagged as ink only. but im thinking of the 'in-universe' suggestion earlier. it's an in-image (stain) but the color is black. is it necessary to create a new tag for this e.g. ink_stains? or we expand paint_stains to include black too? or keep the post with just ink tag? thanks again.

Edit: i'm inclined to keep the ink tag and add bodypaint instead.

done updating the wikis. if there is any unclear or confusing part please don't hesitant to correct the definitions i made.

some problems i met so far: post #520750 and post #911197, both currently tagged as paint splatter. however, both are black/white. should i retain them?

edit: this is something bugging me, i didn't add in the wiki definition yet, but is it generally accepted that when something 'splatter' usually a strong force was used? i've looked at post #486950, there is a spilled paint. currently tagged with paint splatter. the current definition i made looks ok, but it seems to lack a degree of force present in others. just consulting.
