Pokemon Daily and You

Welcome to PokemonDaily,
a group devoted to the promotion
of quality Pokemon fanart!

Before getting started, please read over our rules and guidelines so you have an idea of what to expect:
Guidelines/FAQ

Want to join?
Read the following rules BEFORE requesting to join:

Link to at least 3 Pokemon related deviations for review in the comment section of the join request. If you do not submit pokemon related artwork for review, your join request will be automatically rejected

(please do not send thumbnails; links are fine). If your application is rejected*, there will be a 4 month waiting period before you can reapply.

We will also provide reasons/critique if requested.

DO NOT leave a comment on the front page regarding join requests, because it WILL NOT be answered.
===========================================

Want to Submit Art?
Read the following rules BEFORE submitting work to us:

Gallery submissions should be a polished piece of Pokemon Fanart that you could happily show family members and friends without shame on Quality, Subject Matter and Critique.

At the moment, we accept all of the following mediums: Digital/Traditional artwork, Comics/Flash, Artisan Crafts (including cosplay)**

===========================================

>> We do not accept:

Unfinished, Copied [via Stamps, Memes, Bases or Traces], Plagiarized Pieces will be denied. No questions asked.

Fakemon, Anthros and Gijinkas will also be denied

Must be an Original piece, using references is ok as long as you don't blatantly copy Official Art/Fanart.

Any hint of Sexualized, Fetishist or Risque pieces will be denied. No questions asked.

Trainers WITH Pokemon are acceptable, Canon Trainers are Acceptable.

Literature

Advertisements
===========================================

Keep in mind you do not need to be a member
if you simply want to watch the group.

*Note that a 2 week waiting period will be put into effect if you send in a member application with no artwork and get auto-rejected.
**Our standards for acceptable cosplay are a bit higher than the art standards, as we take both photo quality and costume quality into consideration.

Submission Rejection + General Group PSA

Hey there, everyone!

I just wanted to take a bit of time to clarify some things to avoid further confusion. First of all, obviously, make sure you skim our rules over before submitting and/or requesting membership. That's pretty obvious though, what I'm really here to talk about are some questions regarding what IS considered acceptable and what is not.

First thing's first, if you're a long-time member or looking in the older sections of our gallery, you may notice things that don't quite adhere to our current set of rules or you may feel are under our particularly high standards. This is due to the change in moderation that's been going on behind the scenes here. We've been adding and subtracting people from our available help due to some getting busy with other projects, or just life in general. What does this mean to you, as a member/prospective member? Well, all it means is that we're going to be a bit tighter on the reins when it comes to what goes in the gallery. Now that we have a relatively consistent voting system and solid rules/standards, things will be stricter when it comes to quality. [THAT MEANS WE WILL NOW BE JUDGING BASED ON PROFESSIONAL CRITERIA]

Now, I'm certainly not trying to put anyone down or discourage; Quite the opposite, actually! What we hope for here at PD, and what I'm striving for personally, is for a place where artists can submit their finest works (Pokemon related, obviously) but also where they can get critiques, ideas, and inspiration from fellow artists and Pokemon fans alike. If you have a piece that gets rejected, I know it's obnoxious, but don't ever let that discourage you. Please, don't be shy to ask for help or question why something wasn't accepted!

Sorry, this was a bit long winded! I don't want anyone to be too afraid to ask for help or talk to us mods here. We are always willing to lend a hand. This isn't supposed to be a place were you feel like you'll be bullied if you think your art isn't "good enough". If you have any questions, send a note to the group and we'll touch base with you as soon as we can.

I submitted three Pokemon works. I was rejected membership. I'm pretty sure I read the rules correctly, what was the reasoning behind the rejection may I ask?

~PrincePizzaParty Apr 10, 2013 Student Digital Artist

Yes, you did follow the rules! Now, I suppose a common misconception is that following the rules means you are automatically accepted. The way this club works is much more like an audition: Submit three pieces and if they are up to what we're looking for in this group, you will be accepted. If they are not, however, you are denied.

Now, being denied does not mean you will never be accepted to the group, it just simply means we feel you've got a little more work to do before we're ready to accept your art into our group. You are more than welcome to request critiques or advice on particulars at any time. And please know we're not trying to be rude or mean, it's just the foundation the group was created on.

If you'd like, you can resubmit an application in a few months or so and our mods will re-evaluate you. We say a few months just to give you enough time to hone in on artistic skills and develop further as an artist!

Thanks! I hope this makes sense. Hope to hear from you in the future.

I have a question
I'm not disappointed or anything that I was declined
I'll just instead watch the club that way I can still
get new submissions in my inbox .w.

but I am curious as to why the picture I linked in the
the join me note I sent was rejected

_{((though I have a feeling that my skills aren't high level enough to join this group since a lot of the people in this group are just so amazing and I could never reach that level of skills))}

~Jaimonster Feb 13, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

you need at least 3 pictures to join, read our guidelines please... That was the sole reason of rejection.

~ms-tentacle-monster Feb 14, 2013

oh I did read the guidlines lol I must have took it another way
I thought by "submit at least 3 pictures" meant that's the limit of pictures
to send,but now reading it again it finally clicks to me. :'D

wow I feel awkward now, sorry for that.

welp Next time I'll send in 3 pictures with my join app.
when I have at least 3 or more Pokemon artwork

once again I am sorry for the mistake .n.
