Reasons to be declined

Journal Entry: Thu Oct 27, 2011, 11:02 AM







Submission rules

Hi there :wave:
After a few days i have notice many members don't read our submission rules :hmm: I know the blog about it is a bit long so i will make a short version,very explicit so we can avoid problems later :D

:bulletred: Your work muss be at least your best work so far.
:bulletred: 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.
:bulletred: Traditional works that where photo shoot and not properly cropped will not be accepted. I recommend using a good camera or a scanner then cropping in your fav image editor.
:bulletred: Credit all stocks even if they are yours, 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.
:bulletred: 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.
:bulletred: Submit to the right folder or it will be declined and your 1 per month will soon go away with that.
:bulletblue: If the work looks unfinished or needs soooo much work with other areas will be declined.
:bulletred: Images that are very small that you can't appreciate all the details and blurry will not be accepted.  
:bulletred: 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 .
:bulletred: We do not take IDs.
:bulletred: Works without a background (except designs) have their own folder [link]
:bulletred: Manips with many blending problems will be declined.
:bulletgreen: SXC.HU stocks are now forbidden (Photo manipulation does not grant you copyrights to the image therefore you cannot use sxc.hu images in the described manner. You cannot create derivative works with the use of sxc.hu images. Furthermore, you need the original artist's permission to use their work in a derivative composition.) Unless you get the permission from the owner. This is their new rule.

Legal stock sites problemSubmission rules
Hello :wave:
Hope you are all having a great day. It came to my attention some problems about what sites are legal stock providers and witch ones are not.
I have made a very extensive research to make sure I'm not making a mistake by declining images with not confirmed sources. Please read very carefully, i will not battle about this later.

Thank you for visiting and joining our group :wave:
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 around DA and for you to submit here please read the rules below :)

Submissions process:




hellooo :wave:
Hope you are all ok :) sorry i have been absent but i had more commissions i could handle and then the holidays came and so on..
There is a small problem i forgot to talk about.. the line arts that have been colored by other artists instead of the owners..
I accept works that use approved line art shared by the artist allowing us to paint them, the only thing that HAS to be in the description is the direct link to that line art itself.
Works that use random line arts are not legal and we will not accept them. Please be care for with the proper links, not just the profile, this is also for the manips, we want direct links and not just to the profiles.
that's all, have fun :hug:


- the message when your work is declined will always be "sorry but the work doesn't meet our groups standards " and if you would like to know what exactly was wrong, just ask. This way it will be a fastest voting process and i will always have your answer waiting if you like to know more.
- i will keep add DD or amazing works i find around DA. so if you don't like the quantity in your inbox just UN-watch us and done, you will still be able to submit.
- for haters, i will hear your opinions and if my answer is not of your like and you keep trowing punches, you will be banned from here and my other groups. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
- i will be more selective. Similar works of the same artist will be declined. submit only the best, not all your gallery. sketches and random pictures will also be declined. we want full works, complete and ready to be loved.

So that's all, have fun and be happy :D


ps: sorry my bad English.

When you decline art, do you actually decline them , or do you just let them expire?

decline them, we have a lot of submissions and not enough time so expired submissions should always be submitted again by the artist :)

If you'd like to include a link, there are some good tutorials on DA about photographing and cropping traditional work. I made one specifically for people who don't have access to a photo studio or high end camera. [link]

Hullo! I'm interested in joining the group, but first I want to ask about the watermarks, just to be sure ;)
I usually put mine on the top and bottom, sometimes in the center of the picture, small and transparent ones like this: [link] Is this acceptable? :)

:wave: yes the only thing that make us decline them is if the signature is placed just on the main character or is a huge wattermark with no opacity at all, small like yours are perfect :)
