yato-girl1.09.10 MODS READ THIS TOO!Due to the mass amount of submissions, my fellow admins and I have been discussing having a Quality Standard in place to help limit the ammount of art that you simply delete from your inbox.
As i have stated before in previous notices, the mods with hold the right to deny any submission with or without reason or notice.
This group has many members. As of this writing 1128 members have applied and been acceptedto this club. Due to this, we have far too many submissions.
In order to further help lessen the flooding, we have agreed to put in place a Quality Control.
You are still required to only submit one deviation per day, but whether or not your deviation is up to par with our standards is up to us.
If your art is declined does not mean we think your art 'sucks' or 'is crap' or any thing else. It simply means that this group has A LOT of members and we're only trying to find other ways to make the flooding easier on you. We will still be flooded, but you will not be.
If you are unsure whether or not your piece may be accepted, ask yourself if it is your
best piece.
To ensure that all descisions are fair, each deviation must be accepted by three mods before being allowed to go into the correct folder.
Criteria for Judging:
1) Originality?
2) Effort put in?
3) Is it a 'scribble'?
4) Would the mod fave it? without any character bias?
While there are other criteria, these are the largest factors that my fellow mods and I will be using to judge whether or not your piece will be accepted. As you can tell, Cosplay pictures will be more difficult to use these on, but they are still subject to judging, as are crafts.
