hello members



I noticed that some of you are not sure about submitting to a well shaded or a normal folder. Then they submit to both folders. This don't makes any sense. Admins who can't vote on well shaded folders will accept your image to a normal folder without knowing, that you also submitted it to a well shaded folder.

If you are unsure about submitting to a normal or a well shaded folder - please use the SORT IT FOR ME folder



That's easy. :) It's the same submission limit. You will have no advantage or disadvantage. If your image is well shaded, we will move it there.

What is well shaded



As said before, it is difficult to explain exactly what is well shaded. First of all, we don't mean high quality art in general. Many art styles do not fit the folder. We are looking for realistic shading, but it does not have to be a realistic drawing. So we have manga-style artwork within the folders that has realistic shading.

Well shaded means:

- realistic shading, no sharp edges where no sharp edges of the shadow has to be, no visible strokes, only smooth shading.
- no visible lineart
- no unsharp parts of the image or untidy parts. If the background needs to be unsharp we may accept it, but usually we decline it. We decide new for every image.
- we only accept full drawn/painted artworks, no photomanipulation, no collages etc.

If your work ist declined it does not mean your artwork ist not good enough. There are many high quality artworks that don't fit the folder, cause we are looking for realistic shading.

Here are some really good examples for well shaded folders:

how come one of the example artworks has visible lineart, while it is required that "no lineart is visible"? :confused:
