Folders Description
If you still have any questions please ask.
:bulletpink:Featured: of course here are the best works of the group and only admins and contributors can upload here.
:bulletpink:The best of the club: of course here are the best works of the group and only admins and contributors can upload here.
:bulletpink:Human Anatomy, people and portraits: Here goes all that is 'realistic'. The study of the human figure and so on. No manga, no cartoons, no disney, nothing like that please.
:bulletpink:Palette of colors and work space: Kind of obvious. All pictures of your work space, or materials that you use and stuff like that.
:bulletpink:Watercolor tutorials: Obvious too. I don't think I have the need to explain that one.
:bulletpink:Animals and plants: Every study or illustrations related to animals or plants. Nothing more.
:bulletpink:Fantasy: Elfs, gnomes, globins, hobbits, dragons, people with wings, epic fights, everything on those styles are welcome in this folder.
:bulletpink:Manga/anime: Obvious, everything that is manga/anime style of drawing. And I guess that fanarts of mangas or animes too.
:bulletpink:Landscapes: A sunset, a sea, woods, clouds, the beach, cities. All things related to that is what landscapes are about. No people alone, or shadows of people, or objects alone neither.
:bulletpink:Watercolor texture: If you want to contribute with a beautiful watercolor texture this is the right choice.
:bulletpink:Cartoons and american comics: DC, Marvel, Kid vs. Kat, etc. Everything that is a series of comics or cartoons. Disney does NOT belong here, 'cause they are movies.
:bulletpink:Still life: is more about objects and still life drawings. Like a fruits, cars, boats, things like that.
:bulletpink:Conceptual: Everything that has an ulterior motive, something that is not at first sight. Works that have a concept behind them more that obvious things. Something 'different'.
:bulletpink:Abstract and surreal: Shapes, movements of the watercolor, shape of colors, strokes, all things like this, that are not so focused in anatomy or perfections of the technique. More emotional.
:bulletpink:Fashion Design: of course every illustration were is a cloth design on it and has that as a final goal.
:bulletpink:Story Book: Illustrations that follow a a book or a story, even if its self created. An illustrations representing a paragraph of this story, or even a cover for it. NOT O.C's alone all right?.
:bulletpink:Comic Pages: Original comic pages done in watercolors, or using another story as reference. But of course being a comic.
:bulletpink:Fan Art movies and games: Fan arts of real people movies, cartoon movies, 3d movies or games. Disney fan this is your categorie.
:bulletpink:Pop art and Psychedelic: Same as 'Abstract and surreal' but less 'darker'. Pop art and psychedelic are all about the use of vibrant colors and modern concepts and elements.
:bulletpink:Sci fi and horror: All that fits in this kind of theme. NO Fan art, that's the use of 'Fan art games and movies'.
:bulletpink:Miscellaneous: Everything that does not fit in previous folders.

That's the second time I don't undestand why a submission that was done in pure watercolours, has a very detailed background, was worked on for hours, doesn't have anything offensive, and was submitted into the right folder, got rejected without explanation. [link]

And don't tell me it's manga or cartoon, because it definitely isn't. That's why I put it into the miscellaneous folder. I've read all the descriptions on your folders and it was the only one that I thought would be fitting.

Should it be a question of personal taste, that you don't like my style, you probably should warn in your rules that you will occasionally reject work that doesn't appeal to you simply because it's not you cup of coffee.

It does seems unfair to advertise something like this "cute" pic [link] into your "best" folder and to reject other properly excecuted work. TBH I don't really understand your policy.

Thank you for your time.
