In an effort to create the best possible browsing experience for
those viewing the galleries, we try to keep the galleries as neatly
organized as possible. The galleries are there primarily as a
convenience for those browsing, not those posting. It
is for this reason that the site Moderators will often add, move, or
remove artwork from certain galleries. The Moderators will almost always notify the artist if a gallery move/removal/addition has occurred.
Too many galleries
Some artists like to go overboard and pick every gallery that is
even remotely related to their artwork entry. This will often result in
a moderator removing the work from a few galleries or asking the artist
to remove it from a few. The Moderators also don't like it when members
post their work in too many galleries because it gives an unfair
exposure advantage to the artist.
Visual Content
Often times artists will place an artwork in a gallery such as the Action gallery because the artwork is based on an Action anime such as Dragon Ball Z. However, if the visual content
of the submission does not portray 'action', it should not be placed in
the Action gallery. The same goes for all other galleries. The visual content must match the galleries chosen.
Moving from Original Art to Fanart
Some artists will choose to put their artwork in the Original Art
gallery because they do not see an appropriate Fanart gallery. This is
not allowed and when we catch it we will move the artwork to the
appropriate Fanart gallery. If a fanart gallery is not available, the
artist should instead place their artwork in one of the Misc galleries under "M."
Adding to something more specific
In an effort to save time, some artists will just pick the 'General'
gallery instead of looking over the vast number of Genre galleries we
have available. We don't think that's the best way for artists to get
their work discovered so we will sometimes find a more appropriate
gallery selection for the artist or ask the artist to change the
galleries. We will also sometimes add an artwork entry to a gallery if
we think that gallery best fits the genre of the work. In the end, the
artist ends up taking more of their own time or the moderators time
because of their shortcut.
New Galleries
Every now and then a new gallery will be added to the site. BogusRed
will do a search for artwork that fits into that gallery and your
artwork may be added to that new gallery. |
