Rules Update April 16, 2011:

Elite-Illustration is no longer accepting self submissions. From now on, please only suggestion artwork from your faves.

Why?

In the beginning, self submissions where fine, we received very few of them and it was usually from people who genuinely felt their work belonged in this group. Over the past weeks however the amount of submissions we have been receiving from people's faves has gone way down to the point where 90% of the artwork being submitted here is self suggestion. In addition to this, the amount of thought and quality of these submissions has also plummeted. People are no longer evaluating the work they are submitting and are simply submitting their artwork for the hell of it "hey, you never know, it couldn't hurt". In addition to this, most all of these people have never suggested anyone else's work, only their own.

This is not what our group is about. Our group is about members finding and sharing their fave artworks and artists with other members of the group, not about self promotion. If your only goal in joining this group is to try and get more attention for yourself, this is not the group for you.

It is unfortunate that we will have to cut off some great artists who truly understand the spirit of this group, but we can no longer deal with the flood of careless self promotion that this has become.

Artwork submitted before April 16th will be evaluated according to our old rules

We would also like to mention while we are making an update, to please not feel discouraged if a piece you submit is not accepted, we must evaluate the artwork very harshly and it is not a comment about you or your taste, we appreciate every submission we get and the enthusiasm of the people who submit to share these artworks with DA.

Quick question: do you accept literature too? If so, what kinds?
