[Music is an explosion]

Actually, no. You need to have quality pictures!

First, try to get a straight-on picture. This angle is a bad angle. If you have to put it on the floor and stand over it, that's fine, do it.

Get good light. If it's in direct sun, that may be too bright, so try with the curtains at various stages as well. If that's too dark, or if you have blinds, consider putting up a white sheet for the sun to filter thru.

Try to remain steady, and take a few pics to be sure. Set the camera on something if the picture is upright, or put it on one wall of a hallway with your back against the other. If it's on the ground, hold a broom or mop handle in your hards as well as the camera, but keep it at an angle so it's out of view. Also, keep the squishy side up, not down, or your brace will still be moving, and so will your shot. If you can unscrew the handle it'll help.

Good pictures make ALL the difference. Don't submit poor pictures because that's all we have to judge your work and your talent!

Hope that helps. :)

Spherical responds:

Thanks for the tips :D I'd really appreciate it if you could take a look at it when I upload a better photo. Thanks again :)

Actually, this is really well done.

I do have advice, though: always add a background. Even if it's only a background color, it's still better than white. When the background is left white, it always looks unfinished.

Dakzky responds:

i see. that's a good suggestion . next time i submit an art, i will add bg :D

[Blue Lips]

[Visiting an old friend]

Sweet! :D

[Harpy]

Send a request to Wade. He might be able to change it. I know there's some way, but it's not something you can do yourself. That watermark really hurts it, tho. :\ Otherwise, great! :)

happypuppy000 responds:

[Morrigan]

[Cheer Up Karissa]

Cheer up, Karissa! :)

... :\

...didn't work.

Hi Dana! This is good. I tried to cheer her up, but it didn't work. The only problem this might havve is that people who are unfamiliar with your character might not understand that she doesn't have irises.

Actually, I did find a problem. For some reson, the rotating background is slowing the fak out of my computer in a serious way. :\

[Flowering Tree]

Photo quality is better than some. Better than I did on my Titanic. The size is really big. Maybe I need to buy a huge monitor. :)

Thank you for submitting more great stuff! :)

[my art]

Well, pissed or not, it's not really very "artsy", there bud. It's entirely possible that things like this and your mask pic will keep you from getting scouted. Your characters are great, but these others... not so much.

Scouts want to not only see good stuff from you, but they also want to see some sense of art appreciation from you as well. If you have good art and someone scouts you, but you then favorite artists who do stuff like this, not only will you have your Art Portal scout revoked, but it also reflects negatively on whoever scouted you.

I've seen many people scout people who then scout people with 'lesser' art than themselves. And those people scout lesser artists than themselves, and eventually, a crappy artist gets scouted and scouts another crappy artist, and the admins start revoking people right up the line.

Take some pride in your work. It's MUCH more important than you realize.

Hope this helps. ;)
