Update: Featured Folder Usage

:iconannemator-08:

To all MEMBERS,

When I started this group, the FEATURED FOLDER was for the sole purpose of displaying/featuring one artwork from every member in the group. Any member can submit but only submit one. That is what we have posted in our older journal entries.
I have pointed this out many times in the last journal entries. For the featured folder, it would be nice if you submitted your best work (but not necessary), it was solely for the purpose of showcasing one of your works for the whole group to see.

I would also like members to REFRAIN from posting too many artworks in this folder. Its for one artwork per member, and ONE WORK ONLY (but some members continue to submit more than 1 here, so hopefully this clears misunderstandings)  

This is how the Featured Folder is being dealt with right now: Submissions are checked by administrators before being selected into the folder.
Anyone submitting a second artwork into the folder, will have their last artwork moved out of the featured folder and into another. If bulk artwork is being submitted into the folder, then all will be deleted. If a member continues to submit in this folder too many times, then future submissions will be deleted.

Featured Folder = open to every member + one artwork per member


Hopefully this explains it all.

Demons Aren't Worth Getting Out Of Bed For   So, have you ever been depressed?
  I don't mean, like, getting a little down because your cat died, because your boyfriend broke up with you, because you dropped your Iphone in the toilet, or whatever.
  I'm talking, like, full-on, deadweight, scars-on-your-wrists, Mom-sending-you-to-the-shrink kinda depression.
  The thing about depression, which someone who's never been depressed wouldn't know, is that it's not always just being sad. I mean, I am sad sometimes. I'm  also angry sometimes, but mostly it's just this kind of...empty feeling. Deadweight. Apathy.
  Kinda like...Most mornings, I'll turn off my alarm, and just lay there forDemons Aren't Worth Getting Out Of Bed For by ~fireheart613

The Red Dragon: Chapter 1
Tokyo, Japan--

  The night is cool and dark. Most are tucked into their beds for the night, resting up for the day ahead of them. However, tonight someone won't be going to bed peacefully. They won't wake up to tomorrows light and it will be my fault as it has been many times now. I realize that and yet, what other choice do I have...?
  "Don't move." I say firmly, quietly. My gun is pointed toward the man and it makes a clicking sound as I pull the hammer back with my thumb. The feeling of it is all too familiar.
  "Please don't! I-I can pay you; whatever you want!" The man pleads, his knees hitting the floor. His eyes are wide and hisThe Red Dragon: Chapter 1 by *irZakuraWolfe

Welcome to Evo, a land of amazing creatures and people. Full of men and their stories, today I will be taking you on a journey into one such story. Sit back, relax, and remember...Nothing is what it seems.

A group of men sat around a large table, a simple dangling light bulb providing a way to see for all of them. They were a rough looking sort, with heavy coats and guns strewn about them. A map rested on the table, with many red lines and circles drawn onto it. They spoke of things meant to be said in places like this.

Shadow City: Season 1: Episode 1: Above Darkness    Mira woke up to her mom yelling at her to get up. She quickly got up, and told her mom she was up. Mira changed her clothes, and brushed her teeth (and her hair). She looked in the mirror. She was considered beautiful to some. She has medium length, messy, black hair. She had very dark eyes, and she was wearing all black. She wore a strapless, short dress, and long black boots. 
    "Good Morning, Mira." said Mira's Mom. 
    "Good Morning, Mom." mumbled Mira sleepily. Mira walked to the fridge, and got out milk, and cereal. She sat down at the table, and started eating her food. "Where's Dad?" asked Mira.
    "Oh, He's off on a little business trip with Jade Karina, and Ben Burrow." said Mira's mom. Mira sighed. Jade Karina, and Ben Burrow were crime bosses- and they were at the top. Mira's Dad was a criminal. He was wasn't near the top yet, he was somewhere in the middle, but he was working really hard to get to the top.

Shadow City: Season 1: Episode 2: Hidden Street    It was Monday. It was also the second week of school. Mira yawned as she listened to her teacher talk about literature, and grammar. Mira looked at the clock, and at that moment, the bell rung. Mira quickly got up and retreated to The Lunch Garden where everybody ate lunch. 
    "MIRA!" shouted Jordan! 
    "JORDAN!" shouted Mira. 
    "MIRA!!" shouted Jordan lourder. 
    "Stop it you two!" yelled Lily. Jordan, and Mira stopped shouting at each other and sat down.
    "Where's Caden?" asked Jordan. 
    "No clue." said Mira as she ate her lunch.
    "I'm here!" shouted Caden. 
    "Where were you?" asked Mira. 
    "Talking to some people." said Caden.
    "Wanna come to Shadow City after school? asked Mira. 
    "Sure!" said Jordan and Lily both at the same time.

Information

About The Group

We're all about building a community of story creators. Whether that's via writing or illustration, there's always a place (and a folder) for you!


Rules & Regulations

You can submit as many deviations as you like, BUT the minimum requirements are that the deviation:
:bulletred: Is visually interesting
:bulletred: Has no nudity, pornography, etc. (Keep it safe for kids!)
:bulletred: Has to relate to a story!
:bulletred: Should be a completed, and nicely done piece (however, things concept art/storyboard sketches will be accepted into Development Ideas folder)


What does "visually interesting" mean?

While something may not be a technical masterpiece, it can still be visually interesting; it makes you look beyond the drawing or there is some element there that makes one think differently. Don't forget that the illustrations you submit must relate to a story, so that should make it easier to make something visually interesting!


The Featured Gallery

The Featured Gallery is for outstanding works that execute a story or concept creatively and efficiently. You submit first to a regular folder, and then from there, if the work stands out, is moved to the Featured folder. Your works that enter the Featured Gallery are selected based on how well your artwork can tell a story/concept on its own.

If you think that your work deserves a spot in the Featured Gallery, then it will make it there in good time without you asking for it. Good works speak for themselves. :nod:

I think that would go under "Development Ideas" folder if you would like to submit it. ^__^ That would be really useful to some people that have both the writer's AND artist's block!

Does this group not accept works in progress? If so, please decline my work if it's not appropriate. I love this group, but I don't like that my last three submissions have waited for more than a week for acceptance or denial while other group deviations are obviously being processed. I'd rather have my submissions declined than ignored. Thank you.

Sorry about this, but as I posted in the recent journal posting, I have been busy with university as well, so I am not online a lot these days, which I understand that being ignored is just not acceptable. I'm glad that you also love this group and I will try my hardest to be more active. It's only during hectic university assessments, that i can't access the internet and check up on the group.

I hope you understand, because I do try to keep the group organized and functioning, however, we have lost a main admin member who usually took care of the art submissions with me.

[Works in progress are accepted into the "Development Ideas" gallery folder]

Thank you for asking...

I'm sorry to have brought this up, but considering how often it had happened, I felt a little blue. I don't actually submit to many groups, so to have my work included in the few galleries I love means a lot to me. I totally understand about being busy (I just finished school myself), and I hope more admins can be found to smooth the process a little. I'm sorry to have been a bother, and thanks for your response.

No its ok. Its a good thing to clear things up with the whole group, and I do hope that they read my comment that I posted, because I don't want members to feel neglected or that us as Admins aren't dong our jobs.

Your art submissions and presence in the group are equally as important as the people who run it. Having both of these is what's keeping the group alive and well, which I have to thank everyone for again!!!

Thanks members, watchers and contributors! and no hard feelings... only good vibes :D

Love,
Annemator-08
