New submission limit

Sun Mar 28, 2010, 2:03 AM by *Tolkienmaster:iconTolkienmaster:
:wave:

:new: Just check the lines marked with :new: for the updates to the group guidelines.

I started this group from my general love of all things fantasy and wanting to promote other fantasy artists such as myself.
We don't care what media you work with, as long as at least part of your gallery consists of fantasy works.
Membership is open for anyone interested in fantasy art, whether it is for creating it or just sitting back and enjoying watching the art of fellow artists.
However, we are not a general submissions club. We look to promote the best that dA has to offer in terms of fantasy art and artists, so please only consider your best works when submitting.
Also to keep things clean and manageable we now accept two deviations per week. The number of submission per week might increase in the future.


Group Founder, =FrozenStarRo

:new: To give you a better perspective on what art you should submit, the girls found a definition of FANTASY for you.
"Fantasy is a genre that uses magic and other supernatural forms as a primary element of plot, theme, and/or setting."

Submission Guidelines
:new: Your work must be submitted to the appropriate gallery, meaning fantasy sub-category of either traditional art, digital art, mixed media or photomanipulation.
-There's a new rule for the submission limit. You can submit now two deviations per week. The number of submissions per week might increase in the future, in which case we would let you know.
-If your work has been rejected once, do not resubmit it. Try with a different submission instead.
-We will always check for legitimate use of resources whenever the case (applies to photomanipulation, mixed media, etc.)
-We reserve the right to decline every work that doesn't fit with this group's focus, fantasy art.
-We have certain standards of quality in terms of execution and also originality. Submissions will be reviewed upon these guidelines.
If your work is declined you can be informed by one of the moderators/contributors why the panel has come to that conclusion. Don't take it personally, we are just being professional.

So, in short:

What we accept in this group

-The usual fantasy art, depicting fantasy creatures, fairies, elves, vampires, magic/sorcery/witchcraft, etc. is accepted.

-Mythology is accepted, as long as it depicts a traditionally fantasy scene, character (gods, heroes, etc.) or creature.

-Horror-fantasy and Sci-fantasy.

-Fan-art is also accepted, as long as it depicts a fantasy character (make sure to provide a background story in the Artist's Comments if there are no clear fantasy elements depicted)

What we decline in this group

- Pure Science-fictional works, Surreal and Conceptual.

- Everything that belongs to the Emotional or Dark category.

- Works that violate copyright, or do not give proper credit to stocks/references/brushes/textures that have been used (please state if you purchased stock or used your own).

- Re-submission of works we have already declined, unless some changes/improvements have been made to the work. Works that have been submited into the wrong Gallery Folder are also declined, but we do let you know so you have time to withdraw and re-submit in the correct place.


:bulletgreen: Digital Art Submissions :bulletgreen:

Once your membership has been accepted and you'd like to submit a digital creation to the group, follow this link to The Digital Art Gallery and use the Submit to this Folder button.

:bulletgreen: Photography Submissions :bulletgreen:

The photography category is pretty self-explanatory.

:bulletgreen: 3D Art Submissions :bulletgreen:

Once membership has been accepted and you'd like to submit a 3D artwork to the group, follow this link to The 3D Art Gallery and use the Submit to this Folder button.

Direct submissions will save us the trouble of having to move them to their respective categories.


I guess that's that for now :) I hope this place grows to be a great place where fantasy artists can gather :peace:

DO YOU NEED ILLUSTRATOR OR TRADITIONAL ARTIST? :omfg:
MY PRICES ARE REALLY ACCEPTABLE! ;)
[link] :+favlove: :hexentanz: :flaguk:
:icontolkienmaster:
of course! =) We do have a folder for traditional works in our gallery. Just remember to submit your best, and that they are finished (no works in progress accepted)

"I wonder what's in a book while it's closed. I know it's full of letters printed on paper, but [..] something must be happening, because as soon as I open it, there's a whole story with people I don't know yet and all kinds of adventures and battles."
:iconbad-dragon:
Hi, I'm just wondering why this submission was declined. [link]
:icontolkienmaster:
hi there! good that you asked.
Your work is great and would have been accepted, but we give great importance to the crediting of stocks and references. In your case, it was clear that you had used a well-known costume as reference for the clothing of the girl in the middle, and such costume was not mentioned in the Artists Comments. If you'd like to submit this work again into the group, I suggest you credit references by giving a link to the costume, like [link] or [link]

:iconbad-dragon:
Wow, I just followed those links and the likeness is undeniable. I actually did not use that costume as reference though, I purchased the clothing prop from DAZ3D [link] It is obvious after seeing the costume on Amazon that it was used as reference by the makers of the prop, so I will mention both in the Artists Comments and re-submit.
:icontolkienmaster:
oh well, I'm not surprised at all. Plus I don't know that much about 3D art so I couldn't have known if you people render all the clothing yourself or if you purchase them. You should do that, yes =) thank you.

:iconmelime6:
I'd like to submit an unfinished work, to get suggestions and critiques. Would you accept it?

When men are honest, law is unnecessary; when they are not, law is ineffective.
:icontolkienmaster:
I'm sorry but we don't accept WIPs or sketches. Feel free to submit it when it's finished =)

:iconskiesofchaos:
That is really not the purpose of this group, WIPS are normally not accepted. :) You certainly can invite folk to come look at your piece though on your own gallery.
