Landscapes, scenery, etc, they all belong here!

We hope that was helpful and to see your art!
A big hello to all of our members! :iconanimefaceplz:

Ever since the group was founded some members have had some troubles submitting their pictures to the correct folder, in the beginning it wasn't a big deal and we just accepted the submission and then I moved it to the gallery it belongs to, but since then the group has grown and now it's getting hard for me to go through all those pictures and re-arrange them, so I have to ask you to PLEASE, before submitting take a good look at the gallery folders and if you still don't know where to submit your picture, the guidelines (they can be found on the main page) will surely be of help, if you still don't know, just ask us and we will be glad to help :D
If the pictures are not submitted to the correct folder, from now on they will be DECLINED, this is a new rule, so please have this in mind!

Some examples:
If you are submitting a commission or a picture of an original character that belongs to another artist, it should be submitted to the "Artist Fan Art" folder, not the "Original Characters" folders, those are for YOUR personal OCs.
Line arts should not be considered as Black and White pictures, the "Black and White Original Pictures" folder is for elaborated pictures done with shades and the different gradients between black and white.
The "Fan Based Original Characters" is not a folder for fan art, the group is about originality so fan art is NOT accepted. The folder is for original characters that were created inspired by, for example, The Legend of Zelda, The Lord of the Rings or Star Wars universes.

I hope this was helpful, if you have any doubts or questions, feel free to ask here!
