Once a week we will choose a Member (you can also send us a note and suggest a member for feature, but not yourself) and feature them here as the Group's Favourite Artist.



CRITERIA FOR SUBMITTING WORK

Currently we are allowing one (1) submission per person per day, and all submissions will be voted on by the Admins of this Group. :star: We want your BEST work!! :star: We dont expect everyone to be a professional artist but there needs to be some effort to create something artistic. This is an artistic website and an artistic group. Please submit ART only. We realise all of you have varying degrees of talent and we don't want to discourage anyone from doing what they love, but acceptance into the Aus-Art Galleries will be left up to the Admin's discretion.

When submitting, please select the category you have your deviation under; for example, if you have listed it as a Digital Painting, don't submit it to Digital Drawing; likewise, if you have it listed as such, please submit Fanart to the Fanart folder, regardless of whether it is a Traditional/Digital painting/drawing. Thank you :)

Pieces that will be declined include (but are not limited to):

:bulletpurple: Childish drawings, poor quality, snapshot type photography (eg. a photo of someone holding a doll is not artistic/quality photography).

:bulletpurple: Rough sketches and unfinished work (WIPs) are also not welcome. There is no need to submit 3 different versions of the same drawing, eg. a rough sketch, a digital and traditional coloured verison.

:bulletpurple: The deviation should be your own work. Anything found to be in breach of general copyright (screenshots, etc) will not be accepted into our galleries.

:bulletpurple: Anything that is just total rubbish will be denied.

:bulletpurple: Please choose your BEST and FINISHED pieces to submit to the group.

:bulletpurple: PLEASE DO CONTINUE TO SUBMIT YOUR WORK!!

:bulletpurple: PLEASE
don't take it as an insult if one of your pieces was denied. It's not that we don't like your work or have anything personal against you!! We just want your very best work :heart:

:bulletpurple: PLEASE DO NOT resubmit work that has been denied. Please respect the Admin's decisions. Resubmitting work that has been denied may get you booted from the Group.

:bulletpurple: PLEASE DO NOT leave notes asking why a piece was denied...you will most likely get a generic reply that your piece does not meet the standards we're aiming for in our galleries.

:bulletpurple::bulletpurple: How to Submit: :bulletpurple::bulletpurple:
Go into the "Gallery" and choose from the appropriate category/folder eg. Photography People, then click the "submit to this folder" button. Please do not submit work to the Featured Gallery.

Hi all!

Sorry for the lack of weekly features - due to eye strain and time constraints (aka. 70 page thesis), I'm behind in organising the feature rosters. However, I'll be free again from next week so expect to see features again in the next couple of weeks!

After discussing with the other admins (who I am exceptionally grateful to for their wonderful support!), we're going to trial a once-a-week feature, with an artist feature one week and deviation features for the other three weeks (as opposed to one artist and one deviation feature per week). This will put less pressure on admin and give artists and deviations longer exposure on the front page.

Remember also that we have a group donation pool: [link]
All point donations go towards our next Super Group membership, allowing us to continue featuring your work. As a thank you, you'll also be featured on the front page for a period of time. :) Every little bit counts!

Thanks all for your continued support, and remember, we want to see and show off your best work!

Thanks,

=elexti
on behalf of the #Aus-Art team :heart:

If anyone is interested in 3D art/CGI I've been putting together some Bryce artist features on my blog complete with interviews. [link]

If you've always thought Bryce was not up to creating quality work now would be the right time to find out you have been very mistaken.
