RULES
AN IMPORTANT SUGGESTION
THE VAMPIRE DEFINED

-----

A quick gallery reference for your convenience.  Things are under a new organisation right now and will be continually changing for a time.  We will keep this section up-to-date in case you get confused.  For now, here's the system:

--Featured
You may not submit to this folder.  This is for the moderators to showcase those works that they deem to be worthy of special notice, for whatever reason they wish.

--Saul the Mascot
All the images of our lovely founder, Saul Corin Dane.  Give him a hug!

--Photographic Vampires
Photos of vampires.  (I'm jealous!  My type of vampires doesn't show up on photography!)

--Photo Manipulations
Photos of vampires that have been altered.  Or maybe photos of humans that have been altered to make them look like vampires.  

--Digital Vampires
Vampire artwork created predominately with a digital program, such as Photoshop, The Gimp, or MS Paint.  If you filed it under Digital Art in the DA system, it probably goes here.

--Traditional Vampires
Vampire artwork created predominately with a traditional medium, such as paint, pencil, or charcoal.  If you filed it under Traditional Art in the DA system, it probably goes here.

--Digital 3D Vampires
Vampire artwork created predominately with a digital 3D program, such as Maya, Blender, and Poser.

--Sculpted Vampires
By "sculpted", we really mean any traditionally created 3D vampire.  This includes real clay and stone sculptures as well as crochet and polymer dolls.

--Movies-Animation
Animated vampires, movies of vampires...what else?  This folder is pretty self-explanatory.  Animated icons and stamps should go in the Vampire Logos and Items folder.

--Literature
Prose, poems, screen plays, anything using words that depicts vampires, whether original or fanfiction.

--Sequential Art
Like literature, only told with lots of pictures and fewer words...if any words at all.  This can be serious stories or humorous one shots, but each page must feature a vampire on it somewhere.  Occasional one panel images with text may be included at the moderator's discretion.

--Anime-manga Fanart
Fanart of an existing anime or manga, regardless of art style.  Original art drawn in an anime or manga style does not qualify.

--Comic-Cartoon Fanart
Like Anime-Manga Fanart, but for comics and cartoons.  Original art drawn in a comic or cartoon style does not qualify.

--Vampire Book Characters
Fanart of vampire books.  You know, the prose kind.  The kind that's not a manga or comicbook.  Yah.

--Vampire Movie-TV Series
Fanart of vampire movies or TV series featuring real live people as actors.  This is not to be confused with anime movies or a weekly cartoon series.

--Vampire Game Characters
Fanart of Vampire Games.  Although role playing games ARE games, your original characters for these games do not belong here.  Only characters that are original to the game (ie. they belong to the company, not you) may go here.

--Humour
A place for all the funny stuff, whether original or fan created.  Even if it's not very funny, if it was created for the purpose of making me smile, it can go here.

--Vampire Logos and Items
The closest thing we have to a Miscellanious section.  All the items and logos go here (and maybe anything I don't know where else to put it).  This is the only section that can have an image without an actual vampire in it, but the items and logos need to be associated with vampires.  Yah, it's tricky.


Sometimes an image can go in more than one category.  That's okay.  Just submit it to the one that you think is most appropriate.  If needed, we'll refile it or perhaps copy it to another category.

Don't feel shy to ask questions.  We won't be.  ^___^

Hope this all makes sense and makes the submission process easier.
