Hello everyone! It's been awhile since we have updated our rules, so we figured a new journal wouldn't hurt . Please note that these submissions guidelines are up to the admin's discretion and are subject to change If you have a question as to why something was denied, please leave a comment on the correspondence message itself. Please do not note the admins directly, or leave comments on the front page. We get a large amount of submissions and may not know which deviation you are speaking about. Thank you for reading our rules, and we hope you enjoy your stay

This is a club for any artist with a passion for animals, whether you are just a beginner or a professional. 

We strive to help our members by exposing them to the art community, and of course, a community with common interests. So come and join! We'd love to have you here! 

Submissions

We accept photos, photomanipulations, digital & traditional art, gifs & videos, literature, and artisan crafts.

• Current submission limit: 2 deviations per week per folder
• Animals should be clearly visible (main focus of a deviation)
• Animals should look relatively natural. Meaning no oddly colored markings, accessories, clothing etc. However there may be        exceptions to this rule, and that is up to the admins to decide.
• No anthros & fantasy creatures
• No made up creatures, hybrid animals, or OCs that are not realistic
• Extinct creatures are OK, as long as they were once real.
• No dead/injured animals or gore images. However, skeleton studies will be accepted.
• No humans (fingers/hands may be acceptable)
• No clearly caged animals
• No unsharp/extremely grainy works
• No stolen works
