10 Simple Tips for Getting Your Art Accepted QUICKIt's troublesome for all of us when we have to ask you questions and, require you to withdraw and resubmit your deviation for one reason or another. Well, this document is designed to help prevent that so we can all have a nicer day!
1. All Members:
- When you upload your art to dA, select the proper category. ex. When a member submits a drawing to our Digital Art folder, but we see that it's in dA's Traditional Art category, we will ALWAYS question that.
2. Digital and Traditional Artists:
- List the media/tools/programs and reference image links you used to create your art in your description. This is a practice of Pros, and it helps us to ascertain that your art is submitted to the proper folder.
3. Photographers:
- If your art is a photograph, and you did any editing besides tweaking, or BW/Sepia conversion then we will probably consider it a photo-manipulation. This includes selective de-coloration. Submit it to our Digital Art folder.

We're open again!Welcome back to #DeviantsGallery

It's been a lot of work, but finally we can introduce you to our new gallery!
Our goal was to make this as simple as possible.
And so, here are the folders you will now be abele to submit to:
Animations
- We thought that animations is it's own "medium", it's a different art experience, just as digital art, traditional art, photography, literature and artisan crafts are different from each other. So here is a special folder for all you animators!
Artisan Crafts
- Formerly known as "crafts and models", here is your folder for anything that is in physical 3Dimensions!
JOURNALS for contests, commissions etc
- Here it is! The new folder for <b>

State of the Deviant's Gallery AddressSome of the staff and I have been corresponding with each other through the day, and we are going to lay things out in the open, and address the points that came up the most in the replies.
The main point I want to start with, is people thinking we have 100% full control over how this group is set up. WE DO NOT. DeviantArt has set up the groups specifically to what they want, and we have very little control over anything except the layouts we use, and what folders we have. I, along with several other Founders have been complaining about this, and none of us have been given responses.
Michel2011, who was one of our Co-Founders... quit the Group this morning after reading some of the mean responses in the last blog. I want to be clear on this... he donated the ENTIRE prize amount for the Your True Self Contest because he believes in this group, and the hurtful things he read made him give up on wanting to help run this place. I honestly want people to remember that, and understand how th

Daily Deviation SchemeOur Daily Deviations Scheme will be suspended until the 1st November (at the earliest). This is due to my own workload exploding of late. I will do my utmost to get this scheme back up and running as soon as is physically possible. Please bear with me

About our "Dont submit here" folderI think you have all noticed our top folder, "- Dont submit here, pick the correct folder".
Maybe we need to explain the purpose of this folder.
This folder is not for submissions. Nothing will ever be accepted in it, everything submitted to it will be declined and asked to be re-submitted to the correct folder.
We created this folder, to save us a lot of time.
Because there will always be people that don't pay enough attention to groups' folder systems, for many reasons.
They will just submit to whatever folder that shows up first, either in the gallery, or in the drop down menu when submitting to the group directly from a deviation.
Mostly this is the aphabetically first folder, and before this was our "Animations"folder, and we got so many wrong submissions to this one, from people that didn't understood the folder system, or didn't care about it.
And since we almost never decline submissions, only re-direct them, we had to check every single submission to this folder, in order to b

October Feature!

Journal Entry: Sun Oct 7, 2012, 2:05 PM

Sorry for being late with this! Your founder is very tired at the moment

Each month our admins picks their favorites from the gallery, and we put them in the featured folder for a month. And we had a LOT of favorites this time

And here they are, the September selection!

Apocalpyse ChildStanding alone amongst ruins of rubble,
Waits a little angel with eyes expressing fear.
She wears a dress of shining so light and clear,
And in her palm she holds her teddy so tight,
Whilst scarlet skies turn black to herald trouble.

Flames fly high over her raven crown without care,
Scorching grim ground beneath her feet.
But this is no angel that any army can defeat,
She'll break bullets with breath of a terrified sound,
And she'll tame those who torment with her stare.

Standing alone amongst wreckage of war,
Sings a little angel with hands howling pain.
She walks in boots of mourning so brash and vain,
And in her gaze she wiel

My point of no returnFind your breaking point

Your boiling point

The things that make you cry

Then push it

Take it a bit farther

when your speach is slurred

when your tears are dried

as your body becomes tremors

then push that

push it farther than ever before

when your breath stops

you know whats to come

you die

you die of heartbreak

or you lose your mind

Push that farther

then you'll know

why I cry

You'll have spent a day

in my life

Being HumanYou could be anybody.
Everything has a right to live.
But it all is made of the beholder because it can't be made out of something else.

"People are funny toys for me.
I know how to rule them very well".
An ordinary writing for a fifteen-year-old with a spiky bracelet and black lipstick.
"I may be Another..."
"People are grey mass!"
"Vampires, werewolves, wizards, boom, boom, bobobobobooooooommmmmm..."

Being human is not in fashion now.
Of course, every thought creates a new world somewhere away.
The world has very own ideas, but we can't reveal them.

"What did I do that everyone treats me in such a way?!
I am too soft, I forgive
