Resurrection

Mon Dec 8, 2008, 8:34 PM
Someone sent me a note about this account. Truth be told, I had forgotten all about it. I wasn't even sure I remembered the password but, obviously, I did! I logged in and holy crap, all the notes and messages. Ugh. It's been over a year since I've logged into it.

There was a lovely note from some upset dA'er taking me/us to task over our neglect (in their eyes) of the club. It was from way back in 07/07. I got raked over the coals for not asking for help from people in running the club. Hey Chump? I did ask for help. And if the club wasn't being run to your liking then you were, and always are, free to leave. I didn't get the help because apparently, like me, the other people also had busy lives and things going on at the time. Deal with it.

I'll work on getting the submissions up, those that fly past the jury. Who is the jury? Right now, it's me. Note me if you want to be on it too. Because it proved to be soooo much work last time, this time there won't ever be more than 3 jury members. Don't like it? Feel free to leave or not submit anything. Also feel free to send me hate notes but understand I'll feel just as free to send 'em back.

And yes, I'm apparently still having problems with telling people how I really feel. Heh.



**********UPDATE AND RULES*********

:iconsilverystars: and :iconlightphilestudios: have graciously agreed to jury the submissions with me. They are just doing it for the great pay and benefits package! I don't know if you can bribe them, but I'm always open to bribes of shiny things. =)

Rules? Simple. Submit via a note to the club. No more than 3 submissions a week. Give us at least 2 weeks before you start bugging us about your submissions. 2 or more yays from the 3 judges gets your submission posted in the gallery. Less than 2 it goes into scraps. People are free to leave critque so if you can't handle that, do not submit anything. All submissions must have permission for the club to post it here, for all eternity plus 13 days, unless you have a compelling reason for us to take it down. It's nice if you favorite the work at the artist's page rather than here but I'm not bothering with policing that since I have a life. If you can't handle that, don't submit. We are going to judge your work and other people will probably do the same, that's sort of the whole point to this little mad exercise. Again, if you can't handle that, don't submit. Follow these simple rules/guidelines and we won't have to kill any kittens. Thanks!

Putting the Art Back into Artistic Nudes 39

Fri Jun 8, 2007, 11:20 AM

As part of Elite Nudes Im moving my Putting the Art back into Artistic Nudes journals here.



HoldingMyDreamsLikeAnIcecube

Like a few others around here :icontracie76:, :iconinextremo: and I have noticed a trend towards less than artistic works in the Artistic Nudes section. We thought it would be a good idea to put together our own features of the work we really enjoy and we feel represents what this part of Deviantart is really about.

Feel free to send either of us suggestions for work we should feature, particularly of the lesser known artists that you stumble upon. Help us celebrate some of the fantastic work that is here.

Each week I will be featuring my favourite shot of the week.

Contest II

Mon May 21, 2007, 11:56 PM

Its time for our next contest and its Indy 500 time so the theme is cars or transportation in general.

In short from

Classic

to

Classic

And all points in between!

First place gets a 6 month subscription, their winning image as the club featured image until the next contest or until we get tired of it, journal feature here at the club with some of their work highlighted and the same feature in 's page and 's page. And anything else we can think of or other people want to throw into the kitty. We haven't figured yet what to do, if anything, for 2nd and 3rd.

The contest rules are relatively easy. The image has to be taken within the last 30 days (yes, it's limited to photographs), has to have form of transportation in it and thats it! Go to it people.

Please submit your entries with the subject line being "contest". We will take entries until July 1st, 2007 Auckland time (thats June 30th for the rest of you). Judges will be :iconechoedlight:, :iconrbenson:, :iconjohnperi: and :iconscottjamesprebble: (thanks for volunteering Scott).

We'll award each image a value from 1-5. The 7 images with the highest scores will then be judged again on a 1-5 value with the winning image being the one who gets the least number of points. (Just checking to see who is actually paying attention - really which image gets the greatest number of points wins). In the event of a tie we'll just flip a coin. Or declare a tie. Or let you all decide. Or just abitrarily pick based on who is most popular or least popular. Whatever, we'll deal if that situation arises.

Housekeeping - People, just because we are elite on who we jury into the gallery doesn't mean you should be afraid to submit images. The only way to get better is to keep trying. What's the worst that is going to happen if you submit something and it doesn't get approved? You won't die, we promise. I'm actually going to submit a couple myself and see what happens.

Scraps will be going up this weekend sometime. Any image that doesn't make it in will go into the scraps. The idea here is for the community to comment there. Tell the photographer what's good about the image and/or what sucks about the image. Try not to be an assmuncher and just say "Nice tits" or "This bites" but rather give some positive feedback that the artist can actually use in improving their work. Or comment "God the judges suck big ones - this is an outstanding picture and should have been approved. Those judges wouldn't know elite nudes if one bit them in the rump!"

Until next time, enjoy the show, submit your entires, and remember - not everyone can be elite because that would take the fun out of it!
