OWL- HOUSE RULES
We are posting these rules in order to avoid further misunderstandings during submissions process. Please follow the rules to avoid arguments
Group Purpose: Owl-House is a place for all things relating to owls! Owl-House is committed to showing devaintArt's amazing and under appreciated owls! All owls are accepted here; from the tiny pygmy to the rare Blakiston's Fishing Owl, all the way up to the giant Eagle Owl! We are happy to see realistic owls, stylised owl designs, owl crafts, etc. If you have any advice or suggestions, drop us a note!
1. Treat each other with respect - Do not argue with members on our pages
2. Do not argue with the admins team, our word is final.
3. Stealing and not giving proper credits to photo manipulations are prohibited; if admin team will find a stolen piece in the group gallery, it will be deleted and the member will be kicked out.
4. The staff reserves the right to delete any member's artwork that we deem inappropriate for our gallery without prior notice or explanation.
5. No spam or advertisement on our pages! You will be reported.
6. We are happy to see your feedback and suggestions. Also, we can help to promote owl-themed contests & events in your group, please use a note for it.
1. Your piece MUST BE about an owl. The owl must be the main subject of the piece although multiple characters are allowed. In this case it must be clear from the description that the picture is about the owl.
2. Make sure you submit your piece into the correct gallery! Misplaced submissions will be declined.
Traditional art - paintings, drawings done with acrylics, oils, pen, pencils, ink, watercolor, a spray can, graffiti, tattoo, face paint etc.
We do not accept – lined, dirty paper, blurry photos, unfinished pieces or WIPs.
IMPORTANT – painted stones, ceramics, wooden pieces, chests, jewelry – go to Artisan crafts folder!
Digital art – pieces done using computer software (raster and vectors), photo manipulations. Please put your pixel works into a Pixel folder!
Mixed media – pieces of traditional art edited using computer software, mixed traditional and digital works - collages, etc.
Artisan crafts – all kinds of craft works, paper folding, paper cutting, glass, metal, wooden, clay sculpture, carving, food art, jewelry, masks, costumes, crochet, cross stitch & embroidery, toys, plush, miniatures etc. Must be done by you!
Pixel art - This folder is for digital art, created through the use of raster graphics (pixels) both isometric and non-isometric. Icons and templates go here too.
Photography – general bird photography, photography of architectural pieces or details depicting owls. We are happy to see a non-distracting background, original pose, composition, low noise and decent lighting.
We do not accept – blurry photos, anything that does not have the focus on the owl (i.e. a focus on a person with a small owl on the shoulder, but we are accept few fingers or part of a hand. Falconry gear and some cage bars are allowed but not too much) Books, toys collections are not allowed too, (unless they are made by you, submit them into Artisan crafts folder).
Literature - This folder is for prose and poetry about owls: owls must be the main theme or focus in the story (verses). In some cases we also accept comics (with lots of texts).
Tutorials – your original tutorials on drawing owls or making owl themed crafts.
Animations – pieces which move, videos and GIFs.
3. WE DO HAVE QUALITY STANDARDS! We are OK with beginner art, but we want to see some effort in your work; messy and unfinished pieces, rough linearts will be declined! Such things as: lined, dirty paper, blurry photos, unfinished pieces or WIPs (unless it`s a tutorial) are strictly prohibited!
4. What we do not accept:
- works under our quality standards (see rule # 3)
- photo manipulations without credit
- pictures which do not feature an owl (small owl and a big human/animal)
- fantasy creatures which have some “owl features” (owl heads with animal ears/horns, wolf/dog/cat/human body, snake tails, gryphons, anthropomorphized owls, furry, owl-looking dragons, etc)
5. Why my submission was declined? - First, there should have been a comment on your submission explaining why it was denied. If there wasn't, check the rules. If you've checked the RULES and still do not understand why your piece was denied, ask us by placing a comment in the declined submission.
