Hey,
so as you have noticed this group hasn't gotten much love from me at all for a very long time. I am therefore wondering if someone would like to take over?

If no one steps up to the plate I will have to figure out what to do with the group, if it should be shut down or if I can find a way to still be on top of this group and let it live.

Lots of love,
petrova
Hi all,
I am sorry for the long wait  of getting your stuff accepted, I haven't been well so I haven't had time to focus on the group until today. I'm still not well so don't expect any wonders ;)

Due to this I am for time being setting a time frame on when I'm going through submissions. I might do it more often but minimum from now on will be that the 25th of each month I will sit down and go through member applications and submissions.


Times I will go through submissions and member applications:
March 25th
April 25th
May 25th
June 25th
August 25th
September 25th
October 25th
November 25th
December 20th

After that I hope things are better and that I can go back to regularly update each week.

Hi,
first off I just want to say I'm sorry for not going through submissions faster, offline life has taken too much of my time but I will be better from now on.

I'm thinking about starting monthly themes, anyone interested in that?


About submissions
Still life in it's original form is to arrange and set a "scene" of some sort. Below you can see what I mean. I'd like to see more of that than close-ups and singular things.

I also like to remind you guys that we're a group for dead things not living creatures. Also, please try to mix it up what you send in so it's not 5 images from the same setup at once :aww:

Hi,
I hope everything is well with you all. I thought I'd give you an update on things.

Right now it might take a bit longer than normal to get your art reviewed considering it's summer and I'm not always on dA. I also have the happy news that we're just a few members from 300 now, amazing!

Some info about submissions
I want to remind you all that we do NOT accept macro or close up. We also prefer if you guys arrange the scene yourself and not for example photograph a table with decor at shop. I love all the flower work we're getting but you need to remember that if the plant is still stuck to the ground it doesn't belong in still life - it's sometimes hard to know from some of the paintings.


If you have any tutorials of some sort, either by you or other dA member, that can help your fellow still lifers than please do add them to the 'tutorial' section of the gallery.


Thank you!

Caja
