#Unique-Equines

Group for Unique Equine Lovers

Group Info

Unique-Equines is a group for all those who love Uniquiness in Equines. Unique Equines are creatures that are not traditional, yet the Equine anatomy still shows. Some examples would be an Equine with paws instead of hooves, or an Equine with off-the-wall markings, or an Equine with fire as its mane and tail... The list is endless, and the sky is the limit!

So let your creative side show and join Unique-Equines today!

Submission Guidelines

:bulletred: Be sure that the piece you are submitting is actually of a unique equine. What we define as a Unique Equine would be an equine you would not see in reality.
We are likely to reject any pieces of a horse with colors and markings that can occur naturally, even if the chances of those colors or markings occurring are slim.

:bulletred: When submitting pieces that include multiple equines be sure the main focus is on a Unique Equine. If you submit a piece with a group of Equines and only one equine in the
background is what we consider unique, chances are your piece will be rejected.

:bulletred: Submitting pieces of Equines that look normal but have special powers, be sure it is obvious that the equine is performing the special abilities in the piece. We will no
longer accept pieces of this nature that do not depict this clearly.

:bulletred:The great eye debate has concluded that we will from now on only accept pieces depicting normal looking equines whos only uniqueness is an abnormally colored eye, which are
glowing and thus obvious, or are the main focal point of the piece. (Please note that the glow must be quite intense and clearly obvious in the thumbnail of the piece for us to
accept it.)

:bulletred:We will no longer accept WIPs (Works In Progress). Please be sure that you are only submitting finished pieces to our gallery. We have also decided that uncolored pieces that do not
have nicely defined lines, as you will see in a line art piece, will be considered WIPs and as such we will from now on reject those as well.

:bulletred: We will now accept adoptable sheets into the group, provided the rules above still apply. A vast majority (if not all) of the designs need to be unique in some form.

:bulletred: Please remember to give credit where credit is due. While we do not have the time to verify that each piece is crediting the stock used etc, if we find a piece that does not do this, we will remove it from our gallery.

:bulletred: As some members are asking for more focus on uniqueness and to make things a bit easy for us moderators, your thumbnail must clearly depict a unique equine. We will no longer spend time
doing research, reading artists comments, pulling up character sheets to see if the piece should or shouldn't be accepted.

:bulletred: Your piece must clearly depict equine elements within it. If you draw a cat and put a horses mane on it, we will reject it for lack of equine elements.

:bulletred:We will no longer accept screenshots of equines made in generators or doll makers.

:star:Other things to consider before submitting:

:bulletblack: Please be sure to submit your piece to the appropriate folder. Submitting to the wrong folder could result in your piece being rejected.

:bulletblack: You may submit no more than 3 pieces per day to our gallery and 3 pieces per day to our favorites folder.

:bulletblack: If you submit a piece to us and it is rejected, you may ask us why it was rejected (if we fail to provide a reason).
Please do not submit rejected pieces again unless we ask you to.

UE Updates May 2012

Tue May 1, 2012, 2:34 PM

WIPs/Sketches/and other unrefined pieces


As of late we have had a few submissions which we felt were very clearly in WIP or sketch stages, or at the very least a piece where the artist had gotten a bit sloppy and/or bored with their work and called it finished while it was still unrefined.  While this in itself is perfectly fine, we originally implemented the WIP rule to help weed out such submissions and encourage members to submit work that they are proud of, on top of making sure that our group was not to be treated as a dumping ground of sorts for art.  Until recently we've had very few incidents where we've had to decline a piece that didn't clearly state it was either a sketch or a WIP, however over the past month the number seems to be increasing.  Due to this increase we felt it was time to look at and revise our current WIP rule to eliminate the current loophole in it. The old rule reads: We will no longer accept WIPs (Works In Progress). Please be sure that you are only submitting finished pieces to our gallery. We have also decided that uncolored pieces that do not have nicely defined lines, as you will see in a line art piece, will be considered WIPs and as such we will from now on reject those as well. and ideally, I'd like to add in something that mentions pieces which clearly appear to be WIPs and or sketches or are very unrefined as to the artists usual standards may be rejected as WIPs/sketches even if they are not officially listed as such.  This is only something that will apply to pieces of clear WIP or sketch quality, so no need to worry if you are not submitting your absolute best pieces so long as they are actually finished and refined pieces.

It seems you really can't decide what is the point of this group and what to accept... It's sad.
