Wren I -do- have a gallery there. I have taken part in it. and the work that was accepted from me was..GUH the only reason I keep my gallery there now is to link to renderosity. -I- haven written to the editors but when you submit a piece and it is rejected in record time I am talking about under five minutes and it is rejected sorry but that doesnt seem on the up and up to me. It is not sour grapes as that thread says. it is just plain and simple someone that has given up even trying to expand their gallery over there. specially since the work in my gallery is work that is just kids play...I mean it was the stuff I did the first time I got a computer and was just exploring digital piant mediums. {trust me a huge difference from painting traditional to painting digital and it took a LONG time for me to be able to paint digital and it look decent..not good but just decent} the work I have there is the stuff when you are playing around for the very very first time and go 'OHH LOOKY IT LOOOOOOKS LIKE SOMETHING" and you get rediculously happy and do dumb things like submitting it to a site. the stuff you cring at later. Now I have a message posted on my page saying that due to not being able to add my current work/then a link here to renderosity. I do not think my work is fab..but I dont think it is the trash I have been told it is from those at epilogue. that is not hearsay that is real. I know what I have been told -from people at epilogue- I -have- asked what to tweek out on a pic I submitted...and got NO response. though I admit I didnt know about the WIP forum till this thread started. I have written editors. I am sorry but no I dont see this as sour grapes I am not the only person that has come across the ingnorant behavior from those over there when submitting work. there -are- people geting treated badly when submitting work. I just dont even bother anymore..my last attempt came I guess two weeks ago. with a piece I ran by several people to have it checked this way and that from different perspectives. I got a go for it from several people that have mixed views..I submitted it and guess what ...rejected. I have faced rejection alot you have to in the art world. When you go and ask what to do to make it better or change it because you really want to know and you get slammed...sorry that is just a few steps beyond just a professional rejection of work. { I did not ask this with the last piece} I can not be the only one as others get the same treatment. it is not sour grapes. Please I ask that you see that. Please be fair.
