Still on the hunt!

1 min read

Hello friends!

We're still on the hunt for new contributors. If you'd like to be considered for the position then all you have to do is leave a comment on this journal entry saying you'd like to come forward and sell us your soul (not really about the soul part!) We look forward to hearing from you guys, hopefully!

What contributors are expected to do:
1. Submit their art on a regular basis and fill up our gallery with their beautiful works.
2. Vote on incoming submissions.
3. Have fun!

Don't get angry!

3 min read

Hi guys!

So, things are flowing into our gallery every minute and we really appreciate everything you're all putting forward. All your hard work really shines through and we're really privileged to be able to showcase your talents. Thank you for all the support and keeping everything alive.

This is just a quick little update to ask those of you who think it's necessary to swear or take your anger out on the group when your piece is declined, to not do so. I'm writing up a little guide right now with reasons as to why your piece was possibly declined. As of late, a lot of (understandably) frustrated people have been filing the complaints in and I can't help but feel it is disrespectful to ask for anything more than just a quick reason as to "why".

We all want to improve, know where we went "wrong" and learn from our mistakes. It makes us human and it makes us artists. You learn from feedback. But there is no point ranting to us, swearing at us and complaining on and on to us if one of your pieces was declined. In no way does it make your artwork "bad" or "unworthy". We get hundreds and hundreds of submissions and our voting process ensures that the majority vote wins to help make it a little bit more fair. It is down to what the admins feel fits the general feel of the group, we like composition and conceptual pieces that make you stand out and think "That's art!" We like simple and abstract pieces which make you say "That's inspiring!" We love being different and pieces of artwork which just scream talent.

Art is incredibly subjective and what 1,000,000 people may like, 4,000 people may hate it too. It is all down to personal opinion and we feel we are incredibly level headed and as neutral as possible when it comes to accepting pieces into the group.

So please don't take it to heart if your piece is declined. It doesn't mean your work is bad and that we hate you. It is never a personal attack. And please don't retaliate with a sore attitude that your work is the best in the world. All we ask is that you try again with another piece and just keep on trying. You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try.

Keep the work coming, you're all doing a splendid job at it and once we get more members then we'll start some competitions and giveaways! :salute:

From the team!

Looking for contributors!

The club has been gaining a lot of attention and new loving members which is absolutely fantastic! The submissions have been flowing in by the hundreds and we've all been astonished by the standard of art you have all been submitting, thank you!

However! We need you! We are now on the hunt for new contributors to bring fresh, interesting and inspiring art to the club on a regular basis. It doesn't matter if you draw, write or photograph - we are interested in everything and everyone. It doesn't matter if you don't think "you're good enough" or can't match up to anyone else who has been featured - we just want to see you for who you are, not who you are next to someone else.

So if you are indeed interested, please do let us know and we'll be in touch!

Keep it up everyone and keep spreading the word! [:

K&N.

Hello all!

Thank you so much for submitting so much wonderful art, we've been overwhelmed with the amount of daily submissions and thank you all so much for filling the club with such beautiful pieces. Keep them coming!

A lot of people may be disheartened by their pieces being rejected and we want to stress that it isn't to do with abilities or skills. We have a lot of people who submit their entire gallery to us which is very frustrating to have to go through so we end up rejecting all of them out of exhaustion! Please do read the rules before you submit. A lot of other people were rejected on the basis that their submission didn't match our submission theme.

We do submission themes for the benefit of everyone. It's to keep a consistent look to the gallery as well as give you a little bit of inspiration to branch out and maybe try something new to submit to us. If your piece of art is exceptionally amazing or beautiful and doesn't match the theme then that is okay, we'll usually accept it anyway.

We have a new submission theme which is now "Dreams" so please start filling us up with all sorts of new goodies. We're very eager to see them.

Keep it real and keep spreading the word about bringing back the real art to DeviantART!

Nathan & Kitty

Aloha!

So Summer has set in firmly, the mercury is soaring and our diets are all consisting of ice lolly after ice lolly. This is the time of year we all live for, and now it's finally here - why not celebrate?

We're halfway through the year already and this group has really picked up and taken off. We have had so many amazing new members join and share their incredible work with us. Thank you all, keep it coming! For those of you who think this group is only for the "leet" then don't worry - we consider everybody so please do not feel intimidated. So long as you don't spam us, we're more than happy to submit as much as we can which is relevant.

So please take as many Summer shots as you can and submit them to us. We're going to work on some new guides and hopefully release some free actions too only for our members - so we're going to have a productive time. Please also do tell all your friends to join our army of youthful and fresh artists who are determined to bring real art back to this site!

For those of you in the southern hemisphere, we haven't forgotten you! We know it's Winter with you so why not submit your old Summer shots or tell us what you're looking forward to about your next Summer?

Can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Cheers,
Nathan & Kitty
