PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR ART!!

Once you are a confirmed member of the group, you may start sending in your submissions. In order for your work to be submitted to Elves on DA you -must- send a DevNote to the group with a link to your deviation (just copy/paste the URL into the note and DA will make the link for you) as well as the title.


Sending notes
All devnotes MUST BE CLEARLY LABELLED UNDER THEIR APPROPRIATE HEADINGS. The subject line of the note should read as follows:

Gallery Submission (plus the month) - Example:
For uploads to the image gallery



Link submission (plus the month) - Example:
For link entries in the Art List journal



Write the month you would like your deviation(s) added. If you would like your art submission to appear for the month of August please write "Gallery Submission August". If, however, you are submitting it at the end of August and you would like to it appear for the September Submissions then please write "Gallery Submission September".

If you do not specify a month then it will be added wherever is convenient when gallery updates are done. If you do not specify whether you want it in the gallery or The Art List, your submission will only be added to The Art List. All gallery submissions are also added to The Art List along with link submissions.

Elves themed, inspired or related works only please. This is an Elves themed club so works are expected to at least hint at things "Elvish" and elf-like characters. This includes: Tolkien, dark/drow, forest, winged, vampiric, elemental, made up, Elfquest, even santas elves and any other you can think of! . If we can't see those tell-tale ears in your artwork, please be sure to include something in your description mentioning the elven nature of the character. We follow all DA policies and will refuse to post any copyrighted images or work that is not your own in our gallery.

This club is rated G, so please do not submit any artwork containing depictions of sexual acts and/or situations. Artistic nudity is allowed, but will have the "Mature Content" label placed on it when added to the gallery.

Contest entries will not be added to the gallery or the Art List - with the exception of the winning entry. If you submit a contest picture and it wins, it will be saved from your DA account and uploaded (with full credit of course) to our gallery. The winning entry will be featured on our main page until the next contest winner is selected. However, it will not be added to the Art List, since contest entries are seperate from regular submissions.

Non-contest/project pictures will be added to the club gallery by request only. Your work will be saved in order to upload it to our gallery. We cannot support png files, so please submit gif and jpg files only. By default, all submissions to our gallery will have comments disabled. Each submission will include a description (the one you provide on your deviation), a link to your gallery and a link to the deviation in your gallery. We will only post the small version of your deviation and include a statement that visitors should follow the link in order to fullview, comment on and fave your deviation.

If your description is in any other language than english, please provide an english translation for it. You can either send it in the note when you submit your deviation, or you can add it on your deviation. We will have to have the translation before your deviation can be added to the gallery.

At the moment, there is no maximum number of submissions per month, so submit away! However, please limit each gallery submission to no more than 3 deviations each. We want to give equal exposure to all of our members. Please be patient if your submission is not added to the gallery right away. We will try to get it in as soon as possible. You will receive a reply from us when your submission has been added to the gallery. Once you receive our note, then you may send in another submission. Please send in your best possible work, no unfinished pieces or scraps!

If you move, alter or remove any of the original deviations that you have submitted to our gallery, please be sure to send us a note so we can make the necessary changes to our gallery.

Sorry guys, but we won't accept any submissions that are given in ANY way except notes. We simply don't have the time to sift through the comments on the front page or in the journals to find what you might post there.

Any questions please DevNote the club or =mystikaal.

Thanks All!
