Welcome: In order to join this particular group you have to be a comic book professional, as the name applies. I know, I know, it seems a little elitist but there are reasons for this. You can apply for membership, However to become a contributor you must be nominated for membership by a group contributor. All nominations must be voted on by at least two contributors. We are not a fanart group, we are a group for working professionals. if you have no deviations, do not apply for membership. If you are a person seeking commissions, we encourage you to contact the individual members, however we don't allow commission hunters into this group. This is an art based group. if you are a writer seeking collaborators we encourage you to contact the individual creators, but we're not currently including writers as part of our membership. To be considered for contributor status: For comics it someone who derives more than 50% of their income from their artwork or has a large number of credits, self published or independent. Webcomics creators with a currently active strip posted somewhere on the web. We welcome all professionals: Pencilers, Inkers, Letterers, Colorist and Graphic Designers, from all corners of the industry (Mainstream, Independent, Webcomics, strips) to be part of a sharing community enviorment. We want to connect with each other, generate work and buzz for the work we're doing. Posting: The Featured Gallery is primarily for contributors to post work or pieces they deem to be of professional quality. The Member Gallery is open to all members to post their work. Members may submit their work to the Featured gallery, however, be aware that it be voted on by the contributors for inclusion. The same goes for the individual galleries in the group.We have two categories of membership here Members and contributors. As listed in the welcome on the top of the page, the membership is open to everyone, you have a separate gallery in which to post your work in various categories. If someone wants to become a member it takes 3 votes to join and it is up to the contributors alone to vote on the membership. The same holds true for artwork submitted to the Featured art folder. You may submit artwork but realize that four contributors must vote to for your submission. A ton of submitted pieces are still sitting in the queue because the were unable to obtain the votes. I have final say on who can become a contributor. I'm not doing this because of ego, I'm doing this because the spots are limited. We reserve the right to refuse membership to any individual for any reason. Democracy reigns, well, actually its more of a benevolent dictatorship. Jamal |
