Hello all! I've been co-founder for a very short time, but this group is pretty mellow and I think it will be alright without me. A group that I like is going to close, Male-Ecchi. So I am going to attemp to start up one that does pretty much the same stuff. Because of that, I will no longer be able to co-found this group.  If anyone is interested in co-founding in my place, please note the founder of this group.
I'm still a part of the group, I'll just be a regular member like the rest of you. I'll remain as co-founder until monday.

Keep this group alive! Have fun!

EDIT: The new group I made is . Feel free to come check it out! We still need more contributors and I need co-founders.
and bye bye here as co-founder.

Konnichiwa minna! It's your co-founder!
There has a been a big change to the group's gallery folders. I have combined some, added new ones, and updated every folder with a description in hopes that it will make submitting your entries easier. I also hope it makes finding things easier. As of now, I am in the process of adding a couple tutorials to the traditional folder. Some important changes to what should be in which folder are listed at the bottom.

The new folder set up:

Featured
Artists' Work
Digital
Traditional
Anatomy
Hands and Feet
Head and Face
Expressions
Poses
Hair
Clothing and Folds
Animals and Creatures
Landscape, Background, Environment
Art Resources
Shading and Toning
Writing
Crafts
Random

Help for submitting
Hand and feet references without any tutorial part (e.g. how to position finger bones, foot muscles) do not go in the Anatomy folder.
Anything pertaining to skeletal, muscular structures in any part of the body should go in Anatomy.
Only submit finished works to Artist's work. Processes should be put in digital or traditional
If shading or toning is the main focus, it goes in that folder. If the focus is anything else (like a full coloring tutorial from start to finish), but it includes shading or toning, it does not go in the shading and toning folder.
The Art Resources folder is for color swatches, digital brushes, texture, Perspective related things, tutorials on how to use art programs and other tool related information.

Please go to the gallery and review the folder descriptions before asking if something can be in a specific folder. If you still have questions about submitting work then feel free to ask in the comments! Hope this will end up a helpful change.
* I noticed I never changed the permissions of the writing folder so I fixed it, and all the new folders

Hello Everyone~ I am now the new co-founder of this group. You can call me Tsuki or Tsuki-Nii Nice to meet you all!
I honestly have never managed a DA group so I'm learning all the features, and I'll do my best to not suck horribly. I'll be testing things, but don't worry.

So for my first order of business, I'm adding a new writing tutorial folder. I saw a writing tips submission and noticed that there was nothing for writing but there was a 'random' folder. It seemed a bit weird to me. I believe writing tips for things such as fanfiction, storyboards, character creation etc... are important. Thus, a folder for writing tutorials.

Tutorials such as, how to plan a story, script (movie or ortherwise), character creation, dos and don'ts (avoid rants) and the like are most welcome.
