| Member Requests: Please read the rules before submitting a member request, and state that you have done so. A short introduction and statement about your work is also encouraged. Bear in mind that we do look at your gallery before approving/declining your request and may ask a few questions to get a better understanding of your work. We also need to see at least five pieces of illustration before we can make a decision on your request. **All empty member requests will be denied.** Submitting to the Gallery: 1) All submissions should be original illustrations. That is, an illustrative representation of something that communicates an idea. Still life and technical studies will generally be declined, and it is rare for us to accept character model sheets or a single character study (without a background and in a neutral pose) unless we feel it has particular graphic or illustrative merit. Plagiarists will be lynched and reported to DA. You are free to submit non-member work to the favourites folder. 2) Nobody likes a spammer. Two submissions per member, per week. Please don't spam us by submitting two pieces to every folder each week. We'll be annoyed. 3) Nothing rude, crude, or perverse. If it would make your Nana blush, think twice before submitting it to us (nothing offensive or overtly sexual, please). All pieces will be judged on an individual basis and are subject to Admin consensus. We may refuse a piece if it does not have a Deviant Art maturity tag on it. 4) Finished pieces only. No unfinished pencil lineart, , sketch dumps, WIPs (Work-In-Progress), speedpaints, scraps, or scribbles. Submissions should be refined to a coherent, finished level. 5) No photography. (See point #1) Photographs of 3D illustration is okay. Photomanipulation is okay (Just reference your sources. Photomanip is okay. Plagiarism is not.) Photo-collage is okay. Photographing your work because you don't have a scanner is also okay. 6) Give us your best. All submissions must meet our standards of quality. Your work should demonstrate the following:  Solid understanding of proportion and perspective Solid grasp of colour theory and usage Solid understanding of effective image composition Considered application of typography (where appropriate)7) Have fun. Fun is compulsory. Those found not to be having fun will be severely punished. FUN!! Lousy attitudes and harassment of other members or admins will result in bad karma. We'll also kick you out of the group. 8) Do not add your work to the gallery and then remove it a short time later! Please be aware that our gallery is not a revolving door. Do not submit a piece only to remove it after it has been accepted in order to gain views. If you have altered/improved the piece, then removal is acceptable and understandable, but we would consider it a courtesy if you inform us of your intentions regarding removing a piece from the gallery. First time offenders will receive a warning via Note. Second time offenders will be removed from the Group altogether. Declined submissions:  Please don't resubmit declined work. We'll only decline it again. You will be entitled to an explanation of our decision to decline both member requests and submissions. Don't be discouraged- it's not personal and we are more than happy to offer constructive advice, if you so choose. |
