What is Comic-Creations about?



Comic-Creations is a Group for sequential arts, aka COMICS! Our mission is to encourage comic artists by giving them an organized place to submit their works in order to expand their audience and be among a deviantART collective.


How do I join?



We have two roles: MEMBERS and CONTRIBUTORS.

MEMBERS:
:bulletblue: No requirements whatsoever! You don't even need to have a comic, you can just join to read them!
:bulletblue: Members are allowed to submit! The only catch is submissions are set for voting approval. This simply means it may take 24-48 hours before your submissions appear in our gallery.

CONTRIBUTORS:
:bulletblue: As a Contributor, you can bypass the voting process by getting your submissions submitted to the Group instantly!
:bulletblue: The catch: Contributors MUST have a comic.
:bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: The comic MUST have a minimum of 15 pages already posted in your deviantART gallery before you ask to join.
:bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: The comic MUST be in your deviantART gallery. Even if the 15 pages exist already on another website, we cannot approve you unless those pages are in your dA gallery.
:bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: Once approved as a Contributor, you MUST keep your comic updated and submitted to the Group! We recommend Contributors post a minimum of ONCE A MONTH, however, the minimum is ONCE EVERY THREE MONTHS.
:bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: If you have been inactive for THREE MONTHS OR MORE you will be demoted to Member Status!


TO JOIN AS A CONTRIBUTOR:

If you'd like to become a Contributor, please submit the following in the Join Request box:
:bulletblue: A link to your comic folder with the minimum 15 pages.
:bulletblue: Copy/paste the following sentence: "I have read and agreed to the rules for being a Contributor."


MISC. CONTRIBUTOR QUESTIONS:

Can I be a Member now, but move up to a Contributor when I get enough pages?
YES! Simply leave the Group and rejoin as a Contributor!

If I was a Contributor but I got demoted to Member for inactivity, can I be a Contributor again if I update frequently?
YES! We will gladly allow you back as long as you keep up with the rules!

If I know I am going on a hiatus for longer than 3 months, can I inform you ahead of time so I don't get demoted?
YES! If you know for sure you will return after the 3 months, let us know and we won't demote you!  


What is allowed?


:bulletblue: Covers and Posters WITH A CLEAR TITLE VISIBLE.
:bulletblue: Multiple-panel Comic Pages or Strips
:bulletblue: Single-panel Comic Pages WITH AT LEAST ONE SAMPLE OF DIALOGUE OR NARRATION
:bulletblue: Tutorials relevant to the comic making process (Case-by-Case basis)
:bulletblue: A limit of THREE SUBMISSIONS PER DAY.

Where do I submit?
Please submit your comic into the folder you feel best fits the content type:
Covers and Posters: illustrations with a title to promote the comic
Animal Comics: stories starring feral animals or animal-like creatures
Anthro Comics: stories starring anthropomorphic or "furry" characters (humans with animal ears/tails included)
FanComics: stories starring characters/species from movies/games/TV shows/etc. Trademarked or Copyrighted media.
Human Comics: stories starring humans or humanoids
Mixed Content Comics: stories that star a mixture of any or all of the other genres (humans AND animals, anthros AND humans, etc.)
Sci-fi Comics: stories starring alien/extraterrestrial characters and/or unknown creatures that cannot be defined as either anthro, human, or animal.
18+ Mature: folder for erotica comics OR individual pages from other genres that contain overtly sexual or violent content.
Strips and Short Stories: One-panel comic gags, joke strips, comics that are short (below 20-or-so pages), etc.
Tutorials: helpful guides for anything you feel could benefit comic artists (Case-by-Case basis)

If I have a completed comic or a series with a lot of pages, can I post them all to the Group?
We recommend that you submit ONLY the cover/poster and first couple pages (1-5) of your comic. After that, ONLY submit your most recent pages.
HOWEVER, you MAY submit your entire comic gradually over time AS LONG AS you abide by the daily limit. DO NOT SPAM YOUR ENTIRE COMIC INTO THE GROUP. We will deny every page if you do this as it FLOODS OUR VOTING INBOX.
