Submission Rules

• Your artwork must be 100% Traditional (no digital coloring).
• We do allow minimal digital enhancements to your piece such as editing the scan or photograph of your piece (brightness/cropping) or adding a watermark.
• You may submit one artwork per week, per folder. We look for quality and therefore don't accept every artwork submitted.
  
• Artworks must be presented properly. The majority of the scan/photograph must contain the piece with minimal to no background in the photo. Also, no art utensils should be shown in your photograph or scan so as to put the focus solely on the art.
  
• Nudity must conform to DeviantArt's rules and must be tasteful. Fetish artworks are not allowed. Mature submissions are voted on at the discretion of the admins (the traditional art CVs).
  
• Artworks must be uploaded to the Traditional Art gallery. For example, artworks submitted to Cartoons & Comics > Traditional Art will not be accepted.
• If a watermark is present in the artwork, it must not obstruct the content of the piece.
• Submit your artworks to the appropriate gallery folder; for instance, a painting should go in the Painting folder and an installation art piece would go into the Other folder.
• The other folder is where you'd upload anything that isn't a painting, drawing, mixed media, or sculpture.
• Works In Progress (WIPs) can be submitted to the group's Favorites section. Sketches also belong in Favourites rather than our gallery, and can be submitted to the Sketches favourites folder.

If your submission is declined and you'd like to know why, comment letting us know on the correspondence message and an admin will get back to you with an answer!
