HELLO ALL
     LONG time no see . I know we really haven't done anything in a while or posted and entries but here we are. I hope everyone has been doing good and been having fun. I would just like to alert you all of a BRAND NEW FOLDER!
This folder is "Help me Get Better". This folder will be for ANYONE of ANY skill set and any medium who wants to change for their own personal reasons and not because of teasing or thinks others might not like their style they have now. This is where people can ask for others help in the most positive manner(this does not mean to blindly say positive things but instead try and help the person to the best of your knowledge in the specific area they might need help in). If I EVER catch or it is brought to my attention that you have gone to peoples pages and said things like "this is ugly", "I don't like that", etc of rude unhelpful things you will AUTOMATICALLY be banned for life from this group and a letter will be given to Deviant art to take your page and comments down. There is NO PLACE for narrow minded hate like that in our world or art community. We are a group built on love and tolerance to  accept people as they are and to not pass judgment where judgment is not wanted.
That being said I really do feel we have such wonderful talented people in this group to where this is going to be a WONDERFUL folder where peoples dreams may come true.
I hope you all agree but if not PLEASE send a message my way I am all ears .
Another quick p.s. reminder is that the "True Beauty" folder is the ONLY folder that really has guidelines and that is to have art with a cause. It can be of any medium but please make it a bit easy to find your cause because I go through lots of these pieces a day.
Thank you all SO MUCH and i am SO honored you all are a part of this group and making it SO impressive and beautiful!
Wish you all the best
Ben

I will be opening back up the feature folder for anyone to submit to. You still will get only 1 submission per day but it will be open for all. ENJOY!
also if you still don't know we have a True Beauty Folder and this is just for pieces with a cause. It can be just about any cause if truly beautiful but it isn't where you can submit anything else.
(It is the only folder we have that has where your piece goes to a vote, all others are free to submit to because I didn't feel we should be the ones to determine what is beautiful and what isn't so enjoy! )
