Thanks in advance.



At the moment, we are NOT accepting:
• Screenshots
- The only screenshots we accept, are desktops, and only if it's clear to us that you yourself have actually done something to the interface.

• Personal Journals
- The only ones we accept are announcements about contests, commissions, art trades and groups. Nothing else.

• ACTA/PIPA/SOPA/CISPA or Kony 2012 art
- We support all of these causes, but we refuse such submissions because most of the times, the submissions are one and the same "sheet", that are posted over and over again by those that wants to spread the message, and they didn't create the submitted piece themselves.
Keep it original!



We're also NOT accepting artworks that you didn't create yourself.


We apologize for any inconvenience that any of this may cause you.

Erm was just wondering, I submitted something to this group I made for a cosplay, and got a comment after it was accepted saying to credit the character in the description. Its handmade and isn't actually something the character normally has. I was a bit confused, as usually I don't credit characters for cosplays often, much like most people, and it hasn't been brought up before on here. Do I have to credit for cosplay things, even if its unique and something I made up? Just curious as to the rules. Thanks.
