Your Artwork was declined?
Well, there might be a good reason for it. ;)
Below I will explain every single reason for rejection,
to help you out. So no worries! :)

Declining Artworks not only makes you angry, but us also... please respect we are also humans... most of us. ^_^
Did you read our rules and guidelines yet? I guess, not...   Sweating a little... 

Here we go: Heart 

Most important:

IN 90% OF CASES YOU SUBMITTED TO THE WRONG FOLDER!!!!
WE SORT SUBMISSIONS BY THE MAIN CATEGORY AND SUBCATEGORY YOU
HAVE CHOSEN WHILE UPLOADING AT DA. PLEASE CHECK OUR GUIDES & TUTORIALS
BEFORE NOTING US.

MAKE SURE THE ARTWORKS CATEGORY MATCH THE CATEGORY OF THE FOLDER!!! 
IF YOUR WORK IS FANART, IT MUST ALSO BE CATEGORIZED AS SUCH TO GET ACCEPTED!!!
THIS RULE GOES FOR EVERY OTHER CATEGORY!!!!!


Tutorials:

  

If your artwork was declined and after reading THIS Journal you still have questions?
Do NOT send a note, but comment on the submission process window of the declined artwork!!! Thank you. 


You submitted to our Featured folder, but we didn't accept it? 



Explanation: 



Keep in mind, this folder is subjective!
If your submission was declined here, 
resubmit it to another folder please.
 Nod 

Different admins need to vote on your artwork - it's not a one man decision.
Also we only accept what our team finds suitable!

It's content is chosen by our founder and admins and might not satisfy your personal tastes. 

It's content might be chosen by: skill level, colors and lighting, theme and so on... The reasons are endless...
We do not focus on popularity and it's never a criteria for choosing an artwork!
Also it does NOT mean we disrespect/ don't like your artwork just because it's not featured. 


Your artwork was declined for another reason? 



We NEARLY ALWAYS leave a comment, explaining why your work has been declined and which folder we would suggest to resubmit!!! Giggle 

In Case we didn't leave a comment, the reason for rejection is one of the list below: 

:bulletred:Your artwork was submitted to the wrong folder. ( > This happens in 90% of cases!!)
Bullet; Red Your submission to "featured" was declined because we didn't find it suitable. 
Bullet; Red Your artwork is too perverted/demoralizing or contains too heavy content.
Bullet; Red Your submission was a photograph, traditional work, literature, journal or a WIP. 
Bullet; Red Your artwork was not created through a digital programme or was tagged as traditional. 
It MUST be completely digital and categorized as such! 
Bullet; Red Your artwork contains 50% or more text and was considered as Literature. 
Bullet; Red Your artwork has unsightly watermarks that deface the intended image.


You still can't find the reason? 


Then I know, you never have read our rules, otherwise you would know that: No, I disagree! 

 

WE DON'T ACCEPT!



Bullet; Red WE DON'T ACCEPT: Photographs, traditional work, literature, works containing over 50% text, screenshots, journals, unfinished artworks, 
WIPs or any advertisements at our frontpage or folders other than our 'advertise folder'

Bullet; Red WE DON'T ACCEPT: Nudity, porn, violent content, gore or any piece with a mature content filter on. 
If you submit multiple pieces that break this rule, you'll be banned. 


Erotic images/Porn policy:


This is art that is clearly meant to be sexual, whether it only accentuates certain body parts or fully depicts a sexual act. This includes suggestive material such as panty shots, people touching themselves, hinted rape, having sex with other humans or species, over-exaggerated privates, etc. Our group doesn't accept them, full stop. We also do not accept furry, MLP, etc. porn. If the original production was intended for children, 
WE DON'T WANT TO SEE PORN OF IT. 
ADMINS WILL DECLINE THESE IMAGES WITHOUT COMMENT OR FEEDBACK!
More Info about it: 

MATURE, SEXUAL CONTENT REMINDER
WE DO NOT ACCEPT NUDITY, OVERLY SEXUAL ARTWORKS. 
NO OFFENSIVE PANTYSHOTS, ARTWORKS FULL OF BOOBS OR
SOMETHING ELSE HALF- OR TOTALLY NAKED!



CLEARLY ACCENTUATED BODY PARTS, BOOBS etc.
CAN BE DECLINED BY AN ADMIN ON HIS/HER VERY OWN OPINION.
DISPLEASING & OBNOXIOUS WORKS GET DECLINED IMMEDIATELY AND
WITHOUT  COMMENTS OF OUR ADMINS/FEEDBACK.

:bulletred: Violating these rules for 3 times leads to a ban without time limit! :bulletred:
Thanks a lot to all the lovely members that check our rules first, we really do love you!!!

:bulletred: :bulletred: :bulletred: :bulletred: :bulletred:
