What is ProtectAnimalWelfare about? ProtectAnimalWelfare or PAW is a group founded to help animals, educate people about their rights and collect animal-related art.
We accept all art where the subject involves animals, as long as it's natural and realistic. We won't accept any deviations that don't fit our aim, for example anthros.
How do I join? Simply click the "Join Our Group" button at the top of the home page. All member request are accepted automatically, so don't bother to write something.
How do I submit art? You have to go to our gallery tab on the top of the page and then click "Submit to this gallery". This will open the pop-up window, where you can choose deviations you want to submit. At the right top of that window you should see a drop-down menu where you should choose right folder for your deviation.
You can also click the "+" button next to the gallery folder title to submit art to this folder.
There is also the "Feature Me Please!" folder, where you can submit up to two of your greatest deviations per month. Every month
The Great Founder will choose a few of deviations from that folder and feature them in the group journal.
What art do you accept to the group's favorites? We accept art that not only meets our aim and policies, but also which authors don't want to become a member of the group (we send invites, when someone's work is suggested as favorite).
Please don't suggest your own deviation to favorites, if you are the member of our group! If you suggest your own work, it is a message for us, Admins, that you don't want to be part of it.
My submission was declined! Why? And what can I do? It's probably because we didn't think it meets our rules. You can ask us for the reason in the comments under the submission request.
We reply for every message we get, so don't worry you'll be ignored! We'll write you what we think - and if you convince us otherwise, we'll ask you to submit your deviation again! ^^
Remember to write your message politely - we won't respect insults or shouting.
It also could be because your deviation was submitted into the wrong folder. We'll probably send you a message, which folder we think you should submit it to - just do it again, to the right folder.
If you've accidentally submitted your work in the wrong folder, note us immediately! If you're quick enough, your work will be accepted and put into the right folder manually by one of the Admins.
What is the 'Feature Me Please' folder? Every month the Founder will choose three of the best deviations from this folder and feature them in a journal. She'll also move them to the 'Featured' folder, so that they can be seen on our main page!
After that, all the other deviations will be moved to appropriate folders and the Founder will be waiting for another set of your deviations to choose from.
What is the 'Anatomy Feedback Please' folder? The Founder has a great knowledge of animal anatomy, given her veterinary medicine studies.
If you're not sure whether your animal or fantastical creature is anatomically correct, you can add your deviation here and the Founder will comment on it, telling you what (if anything) is wrong with it and how to fix it.
I would like to be a contributor, is it possible? It's great, we're looking for help! If you want to become a contributor, please send us a note titled: "Contributor Request". Write why do you want to become a contributor and what are you willing to do in our group (e.g. correction, gallery supervising, something else?). We'll probably ask you some additional questions to know you better and then decide to invite you to the contributors.
And if I wanted to become a Co-Founder? Oh, it's a much harder work. Co-Founders have additional benefits (e.g. their works are automatically put into the "Featured" folder), but also much more work. If you want to become a Co-Founder, you'll have to show us your effort - be active, submit art, suggest your ideas how to improve our group. When we see your dedication, we'll invite you for sure!
Note: Contributors have more chances to become Co-Founders.
I'd love to affiliate, how can I do this? Just send us your request, and it'll probably be accepted quickly.
How do I note the group?At the top of every page somewhere there should be a button "Send a Note". Just click it and write your message.
If you have any more questions, concerns or ideas how to improve our group, please feel free to note us!
