Welcome to the group! As every group, we have some rules - but hakuna matata, it's not big deal. You just have to follow these simple rules and advice: Submit to the correct folder! We have a folder for every kind of picture so deviations can be classified. Please, respect that and don't submit anything to the "Featured" folder. If you have any doubt, leave a comment, and if you have any suggestion for a new folder, it will be welcome! "Cartoons" is referred to 2D animation and also CGI. Also other kind of drawings like comics or anime can become real, so yep, they're considered in this group, too! And also videogames characters! By real, we don't mean human. By this, I mean that a picture of a real lion representing Simba from The Lion King will be accepted, but a drawing of a human version of Simba won't. Try to make the characters look real. Art isn't better or worse depending on the artist. It's just different from one person to another. You can be as awesome as the most famous of the artists or a little child who loves cartoons. Whether you're one thing or the other, please try to make the character look more realistic than in the original version. Eyes can't be as big as in anime, they must have a nose,... This rule can be violated in some cases, though. If the textures really ressemble real textures (hair, skin, cloth...), the drawings can maintain their original proportions. That's what we call 'untooning'. A deviation of this sort will be included in the "Untooning" folder if it's based on a screencap from the movie, anime, etc., or in the one called "Photo manips" if it isn't. More information is included in the description of each folder. Mature content is accepted, as long as it is marked with the mature content filter. As I (the founder) am underage, I will only be able to see the images with a warning, but not the ones with strict mature content, so those won't be accepted until I'm 18. I'm sorry for that. The simplest of all rules: respect each other. On the one hand, every artist has the right to express in their artworks whatever they want, so don't insult them for that. On the other hand, artists are not allowed to insult/laugh at others with their deviations. An explanation about what movie, etc. the character is from in the deviation's description will be highly appreciated. I obviously don't know every fandom in the world, so if I want to compare the deviation to the original character, I will need a mention to the movie, etc. he/she is from. OCs are accepted if their original form is in cartoon style and the deviation submitted here is realistic. Maybe weird, but genderbending is accepted (see folder Inspired in). Please, before suggesting something to the group's favourites, consider submitting it to the gallery. Enjoy yourselves in here! Again, I will read any kind of suggestion you have.
I'm sorry for my English. If you can correct my mistakes, I will be really grateful.
Thank *SantosPhillipCarlo for his suggestion! Now we have a specific folder for Official Face characters. Here, you can include official characters from Parks (like for example the girl playing Ariel in DisneyLand) and the official cast from a musical or performance. If you have a shot in which there are both, people cosplaying and official characters, submit it to the folder you want (Cosplay or Official Face Characters) and I will take care of copying it to the other one. I have moved all of the photos we had in the Cosplay folder to the new one when they were official face characters. Please, if you see that I have forgotten to move some picture, tell me. I might have confused an official actor with a cosplayer, and vice versa. That's all for now! I hope you enjoy the group, and give any suggestion you have.
