EW Mods -- Post Seven -- On Fantasy
okie. Just some reminders for everybody.
Reminder #1 Anime, and portraits
Lets say you upload a generic blue haired anime human lady portrait. First thing to remember is... ANIME DOES NOT EQUAL FANTASY. Portraits ARE NOT ALWAYS FANTASY If you say "i drew this cuz i wuz bored" or "this is my best friend anime style" it's not gonna get in. It's not fantasy. If you claim it's an rpg character in the description, it can go one of two ways, depending on the rest of the update and your gallery.
Case 1: Most of your gallery and update is filled with this type of picture. Nothing really too fantasy about much of them, but they could maybe pass as rpg characters. It's not going to get in. VISIBLE elements of fantasy are really quite important.
Case 2: Most of your gallery and update has visible elements of fantasy. Like angels and dragons and elves with glowy swords. Or even another pic of the lady with the portrait (the one without visible fantasy) casting a spell or something. Then the portrait of the rpg character without obvious fantasy elements will probably get in.
Reminder #2, normal animals
Normal looking animal.... like a wolf or tiger. NOT fantasy. If you say it's an rp character, it's still just a normal animal to us. If you say it's a werewolf and it looks EXACTLY like a normal wolf.... we'll treat it as a normal wolf. There are a few exceptions. If it looks like a normal wolf, but you call it a werewolf and have it chasing down a unicorn, fine. If you call it a werewolf and have other pictures of it in 1/2 human 1/2 wolf form, it should be alright. Linking to that would help a lot.
To summarize.....
#1 Anime is a style of art. It's not automatically fantasy, even if you give the person blue hair.
#2 You can have some portraits of characters without visible elements of fantasy in your gallery IF the rest of the gallery is obviously fantasy AND the description is fantasy.
#3 Normal animals are not fantasy. If you say they're fantasy, back it up with something.
#4 If a pic of a character doesn't have fantasy elements, but other pictures of that character do, MENTION the other pictures, or even better, LINK TO THEM.
