Farewell Astralseed and RezaBisuto!

This past week we had to bid farewell to both Astralseed and RezaBisuto (formerly known as etherealbeast) from the Community Relations team. We thank them for the awesome job they did as volunteers and wish them the best of lucks in her personal endeavours! If you haven't done so yet, go to their pages and give them some love!

Vector and Vexel are still open!

moonbeam13 is working hard on bringing new faces to the volunteer team, but for the time being, the positions for Vector and Vexel are still open. As usual I want to remind you that if you have DD suggestions for these categories, both moonbeam13 and I are taking care of them while there's no one appointed for these positions.

While I'm the honorary CV for these galleries, I'm working on giving them the attention they deserve, part of that was by focusing a Digitally Delicious article solely on Vector and another on Vexel and more will come! With that in mind, what would you like to see in the near future? More features? Contests? Tutorials? Let me know in the comments below!

Fanart vs Digital Art

Since we're touching the subject of categories, I think it's never out of place to give you a quick reminder about Fan Art.

I understand submitting your artwork to the correct category can be tricky sometimes, since they tend to overlap. Besides, you can choose to categorize your artwork not only by the media you used, but also by it's theme, genre or style, what I'm trying to say, is that if your artwork is cartoony, it could go to either Comics & Cartoons or Digital Art > Drawings & Paintings and both options would technically be correct. There is one thing however, that is a little different and it comes when your work include copyrighted characters or other elements created by someone else, in other words: Fan Art.

Fan Art should go to the Fan Art category, period. No matter if you did it digitally, it shouldn't go to Digital Art. So if you know your artwork is Fan Art, please submit it to the appropiate category and also suggest it to one of the Fan Art CVs. If you have problems determining if it should go to Fan Art or not, simply ask yourself these questions: "Do these characters belong to me? Did I create them from scratch? Did someone hire me and pay me to do this artwork?" If your answer is NO to all of them, then your work should go to Fan Art.
