DA-animals | DeviantArt (original) (raw)

General rules

1.1 Members of DA-animals are allowed to submit Deviations to both the Gallery and Favorites Gallery Folder of our group. Any Deviant outside our group can only submit to our Favorites Gallery Folder.

Submissions are limited to 2 per folder per day.

1.2 Deviations must be submitted in the correct folder. If your photograph or picture does not belong in any of the folders we have, please send a note or leave a comment so we can consider creating a new folder.

1.3 While we understand why many Deviants use the watermark feature, we generally do not accept images that use the huge DA watermark in their images, as it really takes away from the viewing experience. If you have your own personal watermark that you made in Photoshop and added to your image, that should be okay as long as it is not very large and takes up most of the image in the middle.

1.4 Deviations must not contain gore (we promote animal love, not violence).

1.5 Photographs and artwork must contain an extant animal within them, and the

animal should be the main focus

. This means that the animal should not take up only a little amount of space in the image and other objects, but we do accept photography and artwork that showcase the natural habitat of the animal well. Background and surroundings should not draw attention away from the animal.

1.6 We don't accept photos and artworks where there are bars/cage in front of the animal.

1.7 No photographs/artworks containing people. We are a group focused on non-human animals and feel the inclusion of a person takes away the focus from the animal. We also discourage photographs with too many human-made objects.

1.8 Any Deviations in storage will be removed from the group to keep the galleries clean and organized.
