Gallery Makeover Project


The Community Relations team will be working in the followings weeks to merge, remove, add and retire sub-categories. We're looking for input from the community to think about ways to make the categories less redundant and to simplify it's structure for easier browsing and submitting.

In the words of moonbeam13 "[...] imagine yourself as a new deviant, [...] one that doesn't speak English as a first language.. and you'll see the nest of insanity in a whole new light."

ALSO, please take a minute to look at the Resources Gallery Makeover Journal: elandria.deviantart.com/journa…. Now is a good time to speak up if you want to get some sub-cats added.

It seems weird to me for anthro to be separate from costumes. Is it just because it's a large segment of the gallery? I guess I would imagine it to be something more like:

Costumery
/ Costumes
... / Anthro
... / Character & Theme
... / Cosplay & Role-Playing
... / Other
... / Period & Historical
/ Masks
/ Props & Accessories

Are the Masks and Props & Accessories sections significantly different enough than they are in other costumes to warrant a separate gallery for anthro?

I've always been a little confused about Plush Fan Art. My 2D fan art is supposed to go into the Fan Art over arching category, when my original 2D art can go into Traditional or Digital. But my original AND fan art plushies all go into Artisan Craft. @_@
