Deviation Actions
After a few incidents where people have uploaded 20+ deviations at one time, it's been decided that an upload limit must be placed.
We still don't want to limit it to a small number like one a week, but we don't want another person submitting 40 some deviations at once.
So, from now on, each member is only allowed to submit a total of five (5) deviations a day.
Sorry for any inconveniences. We're made to display your best work, not be a second gallery.

Submission Limit Change
Hello All,
Due to the large influx of submissions, as well as my being away from dA most of the time, I have decided to change the submission limit from two (2) deviations per day to two (2) deviations per week. I apologize for any inconvenience that this change brings!

On the Expiration of Many Submissions...
Hello all,
As many of you might have noticed, over the past 3 months many of your submissions might have expired. I would first like to apologize for that, and then explain why this has been happening.
Currently, I am the only active admin of this group. I am also a college student, and as such I was doing an internship this summer. My major (wildlife and conservation biology) often takes me to remote and internet-less areas of the US, and this summer was one such time. I was working a field technician job in a remote research station in southern Arizona. I did not have access to internet most of the summer, and as a result couldn't keep up
REMINDER: NO DIGITAL ART
Hey guys! I want to reiterate, once again, that this group does not accept digital art.. Today I declined nearly 10 submissions because they were digitally made. This is the most I've ever had to decline in such a small amount of time. I understand people sometimes get groups mixed up and forget specific rules occasionally, but many times these are new members or "repeated offenders."
If you're a new member in this group, please make sure you read all the rules. These are located on the main page under "General Guidelines."
If you're a repeated offender, stop. Please, just stop. I hate declining submissions. It makes me feel bad. Please rea
REMINDER: No Digital Art!
We have been seeing a dramatic rise in digital art submissions over the past couple of months.
This group is dedicated solely to traditional abstract art. This means no digital art.
What constitutes as digital art?
:bulletblue:Digital art is anything created with an electronic device. This includes fractal art, photography of any sort, digital manipulations, any tablet/mouse based drawing, and so on. If it was made with a computer, this isn't the group.
Please read ALL submission rules before submitting. This is common procedure for any group on dA. Our rules are laid out plainly on the right side as soon as you visit our page.

I understand your need to set limits now. I hope the following comment also explains and makes it understandable to those who "dump". A serious and/or professional artist with quality work would never "dump" all, nor even a tenth of their art gallery into any group they belong to. The logic lies with only submitting an artist's best work(s) of art into a group, as opposed to "dumping" everything in the artist's gallery, as one outstanding work of art on it's own will bring hundreds (a DD work of art can bring millions) to the artist's gallery to view more work. Less is more and the less artists "dump" and the more they only submit their best to groups, the better it is for the groups, the group's watchers and the artist. Usually artists who "dump" have mediocre work, but they feel if they "dump" all they have it will undoubtedly draw attention to them. The kind of attention it does draw, however, is the worst possible kind. "Dumping" a slew of work, especially if it is mostly poor quality art, angers the groups, the group's watchers, and the other group members and it causes Founders to have to set limits, as now. You can either continue to harm yourself as an artist by drawing the wrong kind of attention, or you can strive to do your best and only submit your best and draw the right kind of attention. The math is simple. One good work of art will do more for you than 20-40 poor works of art.
