Thank you for visiting and joining our group
This group was given to me in October 2011, the main theme or exclusive selections of this group are the best in quality that we can find arround DA and for you to submitt here please read the rules below
HighQualityArt is a group devoted to the best of the best on Deviantart, from the recognized to the not so recognized. We aim to have a gallery of only the best quality artworks, help promote unknown artists with outstanding talent and give the community inspiration.
We don't just stop there, we provide critique and suggestions to improve artworks that have been declined from submission. The group aims to provide administrators who specialize in all the selected galleries; Photography, Digital Art, Fan Art, Traditional Art and Literature) to better improve feedback and select artworks.

Submission Rules


Your work must be at least your best work so far.

Images with huge watermarks will not be accepted. If the watermark you used is from DA and its placed just on top of the main theme will not be accepted. A small signature is enough on the sides.

Traditional works that where photoshoot and not properly croped will not be accepted. I recomend using a good camera or a scanner then cropping in your fav image editor.

Credit all stocks, I will not accept images from google or random webs. Remember you are an artist, you can't steal from others and use it for your own placer. Add the DIRECT links to them even if they are purchased or add in the description if they are yours.

Mature content. I love nude works BUT people showing their V or P explicitly just for fun will not be accepted. People having sex is banned.

Submitt to the right folder or it will be declined and your 1 per month will soon go away with that.

Images that are very small that you can't appreciate all the detaills and blurry will not be accepted.

Photography. I will accept artistic,emotional,etc. But images you took with a cell or used in your facebook without a special meaning will not be accepted .

We do not take IDs or Scraps.

No screenshots.

So thats all, have fun and be happy
