Suggesting a Daily Deviation to pullingcandy!
A Daily Deviation is a glorious thing! They can be uplifting and surprising, and they sure know how to make someone's day. They can also come with a whole slew of questions, but thankfully, before we get in to the logistics of how to suggest a daily deviation to me, there are a few FAQ's that cover the basics of the entire process far better than I can explain them myself!
As for suggesting to me, it's so simple it's crazy! Below are the guidelines I have in place for suggesting from the
Photography > Cosplay and
Artisan Crafts > Cosplay and Role Playing Categories:
Daily deviation suggestions to me must be from the
Photography > Cosplay and in some cases the
Artisan Crafts > Cosplay & Role Playing categories.
I do not, and will not, and have not featured anything that could be considered
soft or hard core pornography. Please refrain from suggesting your favorite characters like this to me. While I appreciate all art in its various forms, I have a code of conduct I go by, and that code does not utilize those types of photographs. No matter how well done they appear to be. Thank you <3
The deviant must not have received a daily deviation in the last
SIX MONTHS. I cannot feature a deviant who has received another daily deviation within that six month time frame, I just can't do it. There can be no exceptions!
The deviant being suggested should certainly be active and contributing to Deviant ART - if they haven't been active in 133 weeks, chances are they have gone on to different places, which is okay!
That's pretty much it for the legalities of suggesting to me. There are, though, some other key points to consider - mainly, my own personal standards. So here they are!
Suggesting a Daily Deviation to pullingcandy, Cont: I try to maintain a standard in the pieces I choose to feature. I will most likely not choose something taken from a cell phone or a webcam. Blur, grain, size, etc - those things should be taken in to account. It might be the most amazing costume ever, but if you can't see what it is due to the quality or size of the photograph, nobody else would be able to tell.
I won't feature your friends or you or anyone else for their birthday, anniversary, Christmas, etc. Just no. Any instances that have happened thus far have been accidental. Daily deviations are a nice surprise, not an award or a gift!
I like self suggestions. Don't be afraid to self suggest to me.
