:iconanything-traditional: Rules.

Even though the rules of the group, is right at the top, where everyone can see, seem's like no one takes notice or just need a little reminder of them :)

1. You have to be a member to add art to the gallery.

2. The Featured folder is closed for members. We decide what art gets to go in there. :)

3. Submit into the right folder.

4. Only 1 submission per week.

5. No WIPs, vague or extremely rough sketches.

6. Tradition work only.

7. We accept photography, as long as it's film and was processed by hand.

8. No lined or square paper.

9. No images with very poor quality will be allowed.

10. Make sure the only thing that can be seen in the photograph of your work, is actually the artwork it's self. No floor, no desk, no tools. If there's a little bit of a desk/floor showing we'll over look it, but if it's bad we'll decline.

The only digital editing we accept are:
:bulletblue: Slight adjustments in brightness/contrast
:bulletblue: A digital signature or watermark
:bulletblue: A simple (!) digital border
:bulletblue: Composite images (more images digitally worked into 1 piece) are ONLY acceptable for 3D works, like the pieces that go into the folder 'sculpture, jewelry, crafts'.

Examples of digital editing we don't allow (basically anything that's not any of the above, but hey, some examples for clarity never hurt ;) )
:bulletred: Digital coloring
:bulletred: The use of brushes and textures
:bulletred: Changes to backgrounds such as digital transparency
:bulletred: Digital text (with the exceptions of your name/watermark or text in a comic/graphic novel page)

Things to look out for in terms of quality:
:bulletyellow: Cropping; if there's an edge sticking out here or there we won't penalize you for it, but please no hands/arms, feet, tools or large parts of your desk/floor in the frame. ;)
:bulletyellow: If your image is extremely dark or extremely bright so that it's hard to see your work, it might get declined. This is where the bit of editing such as brightness/contrast can come in handy. :)
:bulletyellow: Blur. We know it can be hard to take a good and clear shot of your work, but if it is extremely blurry it's really worth it to try again. You will get more views on your work for sure!

Is it okay to use index cards? (without using the lined side of it. I never use that side.)
