You should follow UnCritic on Twitter here.

We'll be tweeting about art, critique, and other similar topics. Group-specific topics may be posted, and followers with works in the gallery may occasionally get shout-outs!

Hey, it's me, VBAadmin! I founded UnCritic nearly three years ago but only held the position of head administrator (“Master UnCritic” in our group lingo ) for a year and a few months before handing it over to TehAngelsCry. She ran things here for over a year and a half, and now she's invited me to take the head admin spot back. I'd like to thank TehAngelsCry for all her hard work up 'till now.

In other, somewhat related news, we're looking for moderators (known as “UnCritics”, which in retrospect was a pretty confusing name to choose for mods considering that “Members” actually do most of the critiquing). Moderators fill more of an administrative role than members and are not required to critique actively. All you have to do as a mod is check the UnCritic submissions every few days (preferably every day, though I'm aware that this isn't always possible).
If anyone would like to apply as a moderator, comment here (or leave the group and rejoin as an UnCritic). Feel free to apply even if you don't think you'll be extremely active; the more the merrier.

Update: I've also limited the gallery to just 20 pieces, so everything there should get just about even attention.

Simply put, does anybody want it? I just don't have the time to pester people to write critiques in order to receive one... and even then most don't bother writing one.

Read our rules. I'm too busy now to tell everyone submitting to write a critique, so here're the rules in a nutshell:

"Thank you for your interest in submitting a deviation to our gallery. As the rules state, we require a Critique for a Critique. This means that you must critique something in our gallery before your submission will be accepted. We do have a few rules though which must be adhered to:

It must be at least 100 words long. (All premium critiques require this as well).
You cannot critique something which is in the first 10 pieces of our gallery. (This is to ensure that older pieces get critiqued).
Our critique template must be used. You can find it on our homepage.
It must be written in English.
If the piece you are critiquing has the official deviantart critique feature enabled, please use that and the appropriate template from the front page.

Once you've completed your critique, link us to it here and, assuming it meets all requirements, we shall accept it!

Kind regards,
Your UnCritic team."

It seems now that everyone can critique work~! Yay! Though, only Premium Members can request critiques. Read the full article here: heidi.deviantart.com/art/All-d…

So what does this mean for us? Well, now all critiques for premium members will have to be written in the freely available critique feature box. The constraints regarding word limit will now be imposed by deviantART itself, which means one less thing to check for me x)

The template has now changed, and just includes the footer which is still required to be added to the end of any critique that you write - just so the artist knows whom the critique was from. It helps advertise the group, which helps YOU in turn as your work will be seen, and critiqued by, more people.

Of course if the work has not been submitted by a premium member then you will still need to use the old template.
