Rules for Submitting:
How To Submit
Go to Our front page and click the "Submit Art" icon. If you can't see this icon, please make sure you are a member of the club.


WHAT TO SUBMIT:
All submissions must revolve around Sherlock Holmes and characters, people or situations affiliated with him. Club Rating: PG-13
Work of any medium. (Traditional, Digital, and Photography of your Cosplay)
Finished work that you put skill and effort in. A doodle can be “Finished” too, but it’s not.
If you want to submit art that you took a photo of (in case you don't have a scanner), please, crop and edit before submitting it.
Sketches are welcome, as long as they are finished and stylish.
Portraits drawn from photos and posters are accepted, but there will be extreme quality control in order to escape many identical poor quality drawings in our group and inboxes. We will have to be subjective about this one sometimes. Fair, but subjective.


WHAT NOT TO SUBMIT:
Images or texts with pornographic content. Club Rating: PG-13
NO Slash. There are other groups who happily accept that, but not this one.
Anything outside dA's Guidelines
Images or texts you have found from other sources = deviations you didn't create yourself.
WIPs, Traced pictures.
Photomanips, Postermanips, and faces from photos of characters awkwardly cut out and put on some colourful background. No gifs of scenes from any of the shows.
No screenshots from any shows, with changed contrast or modified colour.
No simple stick figure art, or awkward anime-like art. (although anime style works are accepted)
No portraits of just the actors/actresses themselves. They must specifically deal with their work with Sherlock Holmes.

ON QUALITY:
As stated above, quality control will be applied to portraits and copies of photos and scenes of any shows. These portraits have to be done with skill and effort. That means – use composition, correct contrast, and correct anatomy (as much as your skill level allows you at least).
Of course, quality control will be applied to ALL other submissions too. It won't be as harsh, but subjective view will also be used. So, think before submitting just any of you works.

About Fan-fiction: We accept only the First chapter of every fanfic, to prevent flooding. Just make sure you have a link to the second chapter of your fic in the artist's comments.


ABOUT FOLDERS:

PLEASE SUBMIT TO THE CORRECT FOLDERS! Deviations submitted to the wrong folders will be declined. If you're not sure where to submit, feel free to ask.

We’ve set the global submission limit to “BBC Sherlock”, “Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes” and “Humour and Fun” Folders to 1 deviation per member a month. This club is mainly for Canon (Book) Holmes and not BBC Sherlock. It INCLUDES this adaptation, but it shouldn’t overflow with it, I hope you understand.
Other Folders’ global submission limit is set to 1, 2 and 3 deviations per member a week. Depends on the Folder.


Thank you!
