CURRENT NEWS

ISSUES RESOLVED

Okey, so the last journal comments and the poll decided what we're gonna do.


The gallery will be divided into several subcategries. There will be a 4 month categorization, so we'll have Jan-Apr, May-Aug, Sept-Dec of the years 2006, 2007 and 2008. I think that will make it easier to browse the gallery.

There are 139 really old deviations from 2006, which isn't that many since the club was created in September 2006, so only 3 months of submissions. They will be deleted as the majority of members in the club poll agreed on that.
Only one deviation from 2006 will be left and that one is the club ID.

Also, I'll be doing regular maintenance of the club gallery and I'll delete those deviations which links don't work anymore, cause the members deleted them from their own galleries. ^^

Since the poll also decided that I should delete the non colored and non shaded drawings, I will do that too.
That means I'll be putting a new rule. Drawings that aren't colored or shaded won't be accepted anymore. That means that drawings that don't have any texture details or shading, won't be accepted.
Now this doesn't mean I won't be accepting any traditional pencil drawings. Traditional drawings, such as pencil or any other kind of traditional, will be accepted if they're shaded in any way. Also if a drawing like that has textures and details, it will also be accepted. Some linearts might be accepted too.
Colored drawings, both digital and traditional, will of course be accepted. ^^


Now the most important thing!
How many submissions each member can submit?

The votes for one deviation per month and one per two weeks is a tie. So a compromise to the new rule.

You can submit ONE deviation per three weeks.

This rule will greatly reduce the number of submissions and it will also make members submit their finest works. So roughly, every 20 days you can submit one picture to the club gallery.
I hope this rule meets everyones needs. ^..^ It is in effect beginning next week btw.

Please don't forget to read the updated RULES

As for the Weekly Feature, it will still remain a weekly event. Though sometimes that may vary depending on how much time I have, but I'll try to put a new featured deviation every week. This will give even more chance of getting featured to those members who still weren't featured in the past. Good luck.

That is all folks. I hope it's all okey. ^..^

[OLD] CLUB GALLERY ISSUE - HELP PLEASE

You might have noticed that the club will soon reach 1000 deviations.
I knew this will happen one day, but in my opinion I think the gallery is too big for anyone to browse through it anymore. What do you think?

I have several proposals. Please tell me what you think would be best.

Make a new rule, a member can submit ONE deviation per two weeks. This would change the featured to be placed every two weeks too.

New rule, a member can submit ONE deviation per month. I know this is a bit far fetched, but this would force members to submit only their BEST deviations, which would reduce the number of submissions of course. ^^

I can remove the really old deviations and the lower quality ones. But I think that wouldn't sit too well to some members, with their deviations being deleted.

The last resort would be more rigid rules. Now this would mean that I won't be accepting deviations that aren't colored or shaded. Also, compared to the overall quality of the gallery, deviations with less quality will be refused.


I made this club so the "little" artists can be seen. ^^ But that has lead to the gallery being really really huge. But I don't want the club gallery becoming "elite". *cough* BUT, I also don't want members to submit every sketchy, unfinished looking, quick drawing they made. =S I refuse those...

That's it mostly. Please tell me what you think. I think the best would be one deviation per two weeks, or EVEN a month. ^^
Of course, if you have another idea that didn't occur to me, please do tell. I'm open to any suggestions.

Oh and I don't want to do like some other clubs did, for example a monthly feature of submitted deviations in the JOURNAL. That I will not do.
Also monthly feature in the news section of DA is also out of the question.

I'll keep this journal here for a week, so till easter next week, by which time I will read and respond to all your comments and finally decide what shall we do. ^^

Thank you.
