Description
This group focuses on encouraging artists.
This feature, the first for 2017, as usual contains a small selection of the amazing artworks I receive as submissions from our very talented members, which I hope everyone will enjoy and be inspired by. Our membership is steadily growing and at the time of submitting this journal is now 6,918 and our galleries as I always write, contain even more inspirational artworks, which are well worth viewing as well as adding to your .
Member news:
One of our very talented members is working on an animated film project, 'Malevolent', which is the first US-made animated horror movie. It is 100% hand-drawn, 2-D animation being created by an international team of almost 30 and Morena Baccarin and William Shatner are also part of this film project. It looks amazing and the website has interesting news about this coming event. malevolentmovie.com/
About our group
The primary focus of this group continues to be digital painting and digital drawing, which should be submitted to the 'Featured 10 - Drawings, Paintings etc.' folder. This group also accepts and has folders for animation, designs and interfaces, deviantWEAR, pixel art and pixel animation, vector and vexel artworks, comic strips, pages and panels, matte painting, mature content, mixed media, mixed media - 3D, 3D art, 3D objects, Line Art, Black and White Art, or any uncolored artworks, commission information, tutorials and resources, announcements, colourist art and wallpaper submissions. As always, I would like to congratulate the members on the continuing high quality of their artworks, which are always a pleasure for me to accept.
While it is understood that digital art is digital art in general this group primarily highlights art from:
Digital Painting/Airbrushing
Digital Drawings
Digital Mixed Media with very minimal or no photographic content
Please understand that if you are a member submitting photomanipulations, fractal, typography or traditional artworks, while I respect your work, I will regretfully decline it because this is not what this group is showcasing. We only accept completed artworks and not work in progress (W.I.P.) If an artwork is declined, I will always send a message explaining why.
Artworks containing nudity must be tasteful and have artistic merit. Full frontal nudity is rarely accepted, nor are sexually explicit artworks, hentai, pornography, fetish art, an excess of crude language or those containing grossly enlarged body parts or vagina or anus pointing right at the viewer, clothed or unclothed will be declined. Having said this there can be exceptions but my decision will take into consideration the high number of young members in this group.
If you submit mixed media, matte paintings or any other category of art, and stock/photos are used, it must be minimal, preferably in the background, with the majority of the artwork digitally painted or drawn, or I will regretfully decline it. In most cases, if I really love the image, I will add it to my personal favourites as I frequently do.
Another wonderful selection of artworks, from the many talented members of our group. My method is to arrange the artworks in colours that work best together, and vary the subject matter, so that a portrait is not next to another portrait nor a landscape next to landscape and I usually select cute and/or animated to finish the feature.
