WELCOME TO ANIME AND MANGA

Welcome to the group Anime-And-Manga~!

This is a place where you can find those who love anime and/or manga and art in that category.

We accept every member who wants to join. All join requests are automatically approved.

We can advertise your contests too :D

Please follow group rules, as well as DeviantArt's own rules. If you break a rule, I will either let it slide, give you a warning, or ban you. It depends on the rule, BTW.

Rules: These are the rules for this group. Please read and follow them. Bannable offenses are listed in its own section, as well as next to the related rule. They can be changed and added to at any time without any warning whatsoever.

General Rules:
• Treat other Deviants and the Admins with respect.
• Please do not advertise yourself in the comments.
• Don't fight in the group [comments]. If you feel the need to argue, please take it to the notes.
• No cursing in the comments or at anyone else. By this, it means no major curses such as the F-bomb.
• Follow dA's Terms of Service.
• If you find stolen artwork, please report it to me via a note. You can find the form below.
• If you are banned from the group, then you can try to appeal and be allowed back in. This only applies to the marked offenses in the "Bannable Offenses" section, however.

Art Submission Rules:
• Art must be related to anime and/or manga. Anime-style games are fine as well.

• Each member can only submit one (1) piece of artwork to the FEATURED folder per day. Each member can only submit five (5) pieces of artwork to each of the OTHER GALLERY folders per WEEK. The latter means that you can submit up to five (5) in EACH folder, not five total.
• Please submit to the right folders! Art submitted to the incorrect folder will be rejected. If you've accidently sent it to the wrong folder, just resubmit it to the correct one.
• If you've used a reference, then please say so and give credit.
• NO TRACED OR STOLEN ART WHATSOEVER!!! We don't want art that you've stolen from another artist and taken credit for. --Bannable Offense--
• No horribly erotic or nude art is allowed. For males, the groin and behind area must be covered. For females, the breasts, groin, and behind area must be covered.

Bannable Offenses:
• Being rude to other members and the Admins. Three warnings will be given. If you continue to disrespect others, then you will be banned from the group. --Appealable--

Thanks to a wonderful suggestion by *Kurama-chan, we now have an OC Fanart folder.

There has been quite a bit of confusion lately regarding where your art of another person's OC should be going into. Now, we have a folder specifically for that.

So, what should be going in here? It's as the name suggests. Fanart of another person's OC's should be going in here from now on. Please don't submit these works to Fanart or OC's anymore. I will go through those folders and move as many works as I can find into the new folder.

*ALL MEMBERS MUST READ THIS JOURNAL ENTRY. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT OF CONSISTENT ARTWORK DECLINE!
*Last updated: May 16, 2013; 7:55 PM EST (GMT -5:00)

This is a more update and detailed description of the group’s folder system. I know I have only been a Contributor for no more than a month so do please correct me if you are reading, Admin :iconsakamotonadeshiko:

We have been consistently seeing artworks being submitted to the INCORRECT folder. Either the members are not reading the folder rules or do not fully understand the submission process. So do READ this!

NOTICE: If TOO many artworks are being submitted to the incorrect folder, the admin and contributors reserve the right to deny your art without explaining the reason. This goes for EVERYONE in the group. If you guys will not take your time to read the rules, then we may happily choose not to take our time to tell you where to correctly submit it. We may even let the submission expire. So be warned.

:lightbulb:Folder rules may change!:lightbulb:

Traditional Art Folder:
This folder holds art pieces that are done with pencil-like, painting, and pen instruments/tools on paper. Basically, your artwork must be something complete and physical that you can HOLD in your hands WITHOUT the use/help of technology (computers, tablets, printer, etc). DOES NOT HOLD FAN-ART!

Digital Art Folder:
This folder holds art pieces that were drawn, colored, painted, edited, etc ON COMPUTER with the use of an ART program (Photoshop, SAI, Paint, etc). If you drew a picture on paper BUT had it colored or edited on a computer, it goes in here as well. DOES NOT HOLD FAN-ART!

Fan-Art Folder:
Ok, here is where it becomes complicated. Whenever you draw a character that is NOT your original design, but from another series, it GOES IN HERE. NO MATTER if it was digitally or traditionally done, IT GOES IN HERE. No exceptions! This does not include traces!

OC Fanart Folder:
This folder holds artwork you've made of other people's OCs. You should NOT be submitting characters from a series like Naruto of Bleach here.

Bases Folder:
This folder contains pictures/artworks that has a body in some pose pre-drawn allowing other artistes to draw over with their own original clothing and hairstyle. Also, if you have an art piece that had a use of a base and you drew over it, goes in here as well.

Comics Folder:
This folder contains ANYTHING that INVOLVES the use of panels and/or dialogue and telling some form of story. Whether the piece was done traditionally or digitally, it MUST go in here. This includes any covers that belong to your comic/manga/story.

Cosplay Folder:
MUST be actual people (so a photograph) dressing up as fictional characters from TV shows/movies. CANNOT be a fictional character dressing up as another fictional character. No, does not count.

Line Art Folder:
This folder contains pictures that were drawn and represented with LINES. Cannot be colored or shaded in. Must be something that WILL allow another artist to color it in with ease. This piece MUST be clean and clear (recommended: scanned if done on paper). Sketches and pencil drawing are not accepted anymore in this folder.

Original Character (OC) Folder:
This folder contains drawings of YOUR original character design that you would draw/use OFTEN. As for characters you made-up BUT was only for fun and is not intended for many usage in the future, then please submit it to the stand-alone Traditional and Digital folder.

Crossovers Folder:
Drawings that you put TWO or MORE characters from TWO or MORE different series together or your original character and another character from an actual series together. Any characters that you dress up in clothing belonging to another character from ANOTHER series should be going in here as well! This does NOT include characters that are dressed up as another character from the same series.

Stories Folder:
This folder only holds stories that has been originally done by YOU. Everything in the story must be original (characters, plot, etc). It must be a Literature file-type, but cover art IS allowed.

Fanfiction Folder:
This folder is not for stories that you made (original stories). Only works BASED-OFF another anime/show/character that are not yours and you create an ALTERNATIVE story or ending for it. It must be a Literature file-type, but cover art IS allowed.

Tutorials Folder:
Step-by-step instructions on how to draw something.

Colored-in Folder:
This folder should contain only art pieces that you colored in BUT did not draw or created the line-art. If you colored in your OWN line-art piece, then it DOES NOT go in here. It belongs in the traditional or digital folder. (For example: coloring in manga pages that does not belong to you).

Others:
Backgrounds, edits, stamps, flash videos, anything that does not fit into the other categories.

:lightbulb:PLEASE NOTE:Stealing artwork or plagiarism WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. If something looks like you traced it or you just copied the idea from another picture (not tracing, just taking the general idea, character, pose), or you pasted some parts of the coloring in, we won't accept it. If caught for doing it multiple times, the submitter shall experience severe consequences (removed from group and/or blocked).:lightbulb:

If you have any questions or concerns, please either comment below or note either the admin, me, or the other fellow contributors. Thank you and good luck!

For stolen artworks... does lineart count as stolen? ( Lineart by other people.)

~TheRebornAce 4 hours ago  Hobbyist Traditional Artist
well, in my opinion, if the user uploaded another person's lineart (just the lineart itself), then yes, it counts as stolen since they did not draw it.

BUT, if they took the lineart from another person, colored it in, and gave credit to the person that provided the lineart in the description, then no, it would count as "colored-in"

wouldnt be considered stealing IF the Owner is credited.

If the owner has not given permission for the Lineart to be used, then yes, I think that counts as theft.
