Welcome to the Group!

Hello everyone!  The group is up and running, and hope to see many people interested in joining our group.  With this being the first of many blogs to come, I would like to address some things, such as, rules for submissions and such.  We do have some but not too many, and they are as follows:
      1. only original works of art are allows which means fan art isn't allowed, although there may be some exceptions, which be next rule.  character sheets aren't allowed either.   
     2.  the only exception for fan art is, if it is depicted in your own styles, which your own ideas, meaning it can't look just like the original and DO NOT forget to give credit where its do.  Even with this exception we still may refuse for submission if we feel is not original enough.
     3.  make sure to submit your artwork to the right folder,  and during submitting your art, if you don't want to be critiqued please let us know.  And please don't take it as us being mean or rude if the critique seems too harsh.  let us know if you feel that way, and just know that we're only trying to help.  
     4.  when we view your submissions,  we will critique your work, and if for any reason we do not accept your submission we will give you an actual reason as to why it was denied.  I feel its unfair to just say "look at the list"  and then still not fully understand why you were denied.
     5. Please don't feel afraid to ask us questions either.  you can post on the home page or if it's more personal, you can send a note to either me or any of the co-founders as well, and we will get to it asap.
     6. We DO ACCEPT works in progress, as long as its put in that folder,  and all those will be automatically accepted as help pieces.  How ever, they will be taken out of the folder after your finished with the final product.  It would be really nice if all our members would take there time to try and look at that folder once in a while, if they wish to help,  and put in their input to help out the artist and fellow member.
     * Well I think that just about wraps it up!  Hope I'm not missing anything.  Any Co-founder has the right to edit or change this just make sure you notify me so I know.


So on another note, we need more members.  anyone can join, and if you have friends that you think would like to join let them know.    I would also like to know everyone's opinion on having a chat room for our group.  We could have weekly to monthly group chats, to discuss what ever we want.  I hope it will help the group grow and become more of a family.  If I create one I will make sure to update this blog with the appropriate link.  we also need to discuss our group logo.  If anyone has an Idea please comment on this journal with it.     

                                                                                                           thank you! and once again welcome to the group ^^
