Hello!

As you may have noticed, this group has a "Wrong folder" to which you submit per default. (Why is this? Because it would be even harder to sort through if, say, every wrong submission would go to photography per default.) This folder contains more than 2500 artworks right now, and that is only because I sorted through about 500 of them already.

Submitting to the wrong folder means more work for the group admins and it makes you look bad, because it looks as if you don't care about your art and the people who will see it, i. e. the members of this group.

I know there are some of you who might not know how to submit to the correct folders, but there's an abundance of tutorials about that on dA, have a look:


Among the submissions to the wrong folder, there are some really great pieces. So please, if you spent many hours making an artwork, take the 3 seconds required to submit it to the correct folder to show that you value your art and respect this group and its rules.

Also, in order to reduce the submissions to the wrong folder, I've restricted the number of artworks you can submit to the wrong folder to 1 per month (for the rest of the gallery, it's still 3 per day).

That's all, thank you for reading. Have a nice day!

Hi Members!

I have one question about correcting photos^^

So do u use some programs to improve your photos? This programs like Gimp or Photoshop?
I ask just because, some of my watchers ask for this

Well feel free and comment
