DarkElegance said "BTW...the gallery that I must say is giving more of a fair shake to poser art lately....is Epilogue." I had seen a lot of posts to the contrary, and comments on ppl's pics that seemed to contradict it, so I wanted to see if they had changed. I tried submitting a few pics there and got the "Not Epilogue Quality" rejection. That in itself can be interpreted as fairly snobbish unless they have standards to back it up. Also the explaination of that rejection category is pretty general and vague so they can use it for a whole lot. "Not Epilogue Quality - This usually means that your submission needs major work in several areas. It may also mean that you've tried to submit art that is drawn on lined paper, or has been torn and taped together, or is otherwise badly presented." Some of it doesn't apply since it never was on paper and can't have scanner errors in it. Major work and badly presented can apply to almost anything and doesn't say what was wrong with the image specifically. Here are the ones that I submitted: http://argon.glittzzzy.topcities.com/web/pan/pics/BarbarianBallet1.jpg http://argon.glittzzzy.topcities.com/web/pan/pics/AngelFace1.jpg http://argon.glittzzzy.topcities.com/web/sierra/StellarRider.jpg Were they substandard or was it the bias of the judges? Without a more detailed explaination of the reasons for the rejections it's hard to tell if they've changed or not. On the other hand that might be the point by using such general terms they have something to hide behind while they continue their predjudices.
