The doom and gloom that is being expessed here is beyond me. The guidelines have been in place for what, 6 months? and somehow the fractal community is still alive. Maybe the best fractal art has moved into the mixed medium gallery. So what? Is the art in the mixed medium gallery a lower form of life or something? Is it somehow less creative or less beautiful? I challenge anyone to give a specific example of how the guidelines have damaged creativity, fractal art, digital art or whatever. Give me proof. Show me an image or an artist that has somehow been damaged by the guidelines. Be specific. Otherwise this is just a bunch of baseless complaining. I am not buying the arguement that the whole gallery has been damaged, so don't feed me that line. There are still plenty of beautful images being posted in it. This is Renderosty, not The Louvre. It's a free gallery. It has images from 10 year old kids in it. If I were an artist that was about to break into the mainstream, I wouldn't be looking to do it here. This place is 95% oversized boobs and fun. Any serious artist is going to have their own galleries with their own standards. The guidelines in this place pose no threat to digital art breaking into the mainstream.
