Group Rules and Such…

We do not allow any posts with nudity of any kind. If we find some art in this category, it will be removed.

Treat fellow members with mutual dignity and respect.

No prejudice or hateful language or art will be tolerated towards race, gender, culture, sexual orientation, etc. If you're unsure if your art/writings qualifies, please note one of the admins and link the piece for clarification first.

If you comment on someone's work, please provide constructive criticism if you feel the artist or writer needs to improve in an area.

NO SPAMMING! For many artists here, time is a precious commodity. They have deadlines to meet and a family to support. Please be respectful and professional and don't inundate the community with spam.

Co-founder Responsibilities: Have unlimited art they can submit in a day of theirs as well as others' work. They also have unlimited favorites they can suggest to the group. Co-founders, as with members are encouraged to only submit one of their own pieces a day to the Featured folder to give everyone a fair chance to get their art seen. Co-founders accept requests for people to become contributors and can also ask other groups to become affiliated. They're encouraged if they find art on DA that belongs to the group's image, to submit it here and/or invite the artist to join. They may be also be requested to judge any art contests we host.

Contributor Responsibilities: Contributors can submit up to 3 pieces of art a day to the group of either theirs or others' work. They can suggest up to 3 favorites a day for the group. They are our art scouts and perhaps maybe a dynamic art machine themselves, but just cannot devote the extra time to be a co-founder. They may be requested to be a judge on an art contest we host if enough judges are not available.

JOINING
Just click on the join button up there, confirm, and you're in
- Joining requests to Members are automatically approved.
- Joining requests to Contributors are subject to vote by an admin.

If you ask to join contributors, please be aware that you're asking to be a helper in the group, and state it clear in your join request note that it's what you want (also to be sure that you've actually read the rules)

SUBMITTING ART
All artwork submitted must be your own work and not works by other artist. In other words: you didn't draw it, then don't post it. Only exception is when you make something over existing artwork AND you have the original artist's permission to use their work. YOU MUST BE A MEMBER TO SUBMIT YOU OWN WORK.

Submission Limits

MEMBERS can submit one piece of art a day. Be sure it is your best. Please don’t try to use our group as a dumping grounds.

Categories

As of this moment we have eight gallery folders. Be sure to submit to the right folder, please. If you have any questions please note an admin. If you make a mistake it isn’t the end of the world, we'll move them.

Featured

(In order to show everyone’s work fairly we will try to make sure that artists work stay in the feature folder for one week. It then will be moved to the appropriate folder. This may change once we get bigger.)

*Update on Featured November 9,2010:
Currently, submissions to the Featured folder are more strict and require more votes. If you find that your art is not accepted, either it expired before it gained the necessary votes, or it was denied. If this happens, you can submit it to the appropriate non-featured folder which are less strict.

To showcase every member's work as fairly as possible, we try to make sure every member has at least one piece of art in the featured folder by copying them directly in from another folder. If you don't have at least one of your works featured, just send us a note and we will include the pic or your choice.

Commissions

The only rule we have is updating us and making sure we have the correct link to your page. Of course you also have to be a member.

Affiliations

We of course love our sister groups. Want to be affiliated with our group? Send us a request.
