Greetings everybody!

WDC accepts most kind of art,from the darkest style,to emotional and fantasy,mythology as well.

A few weeks ago the Digital Art folder reached its limit,it's full and cleaning it is a task that can't be done fast,so there is now the Digital Art II folder and Dark Emotions,previously it was created the Digital landscapes-Photomanipulations.

**Please submit only to the proper/right folder or your work will be declined! -As much as we care for our members,we also want that you guys submit only to the proper category,we the staff are here for help but you must help to place your work in the correct category for it being better seen!...we can't spend the day moving works to categories and the only thing that might happen is that your work will be deleted,we don't want that!-

*** Follow the rules!,please!,do not submit art that has nothing to do with our themes!

• Dark Emotions


• Digital Art II

        
• Digital landscapes-Photomanipulations -No Humans allowed for this folder...just landscapes!-

______________________________________________________________
When -Darkness-comes is a group for promoting dark-paranormal art,so please,feel free for joining us and submitting your art.

**You MUST be a member for submitting! -any work submitted by a NON-Member will be declined!

***Any work submitted to the wrong category will be declined,if accepted by mistake,it will be deleted!...So you are warned!...We love your submissions but we want that each one of you follow the rules as well!

As the title express,we are a group for Dark Art...
so all and everything that is scary,all that can scare us: Monsters, vampires, witches, devils, demons, dragons, our nightmares,etc...all that is allowed!

WDC looks for that dark art that is part of the supernatural world,the world of those who no longer exist in this world but that they exist in that world of shadows,the underworld or the darkness...

There are themes like Sweeney Todd,Jack the Ripper and others who have became a legend that are admitted,part of it because of the geniality of their stories...

Crime and murder,suicide or any other theme like these mentiones Do NOT belong to the supernatural,nor to the darkness...

WDC does not really seek for the horror/terror created by men...now if you have one of those pieces that 'make you scream and crave for it'-because of its quality- you can submit it and we'll see if it fits our galleries and themes!

We have also a wide variety of galleries for allowing most of the artists to find an option for submitting...but we always try keeping the main theme and purpose of the group: Darkness and supernatural.

Trying to be fair and allow most art that is dark -mild dark,fantasy or sci fi-we don't accept art that has nothing to do with darkness,especially for features in the main gallery.

This is not an elitist group, we like to be fair and give plenty opportunity to all our artists for submitting almost all kind of dark art: photomanipulations, pictures, digital art in any sense -3D for example- drawings and portraits of 'celebrities who have played in horror or terror movies'-Vincent Price,Tom Cruise, and any other actor/actress portrayed in the character of horror they once played-


When-Darkness-comes will have slight changes,due to the increase of submissions:

~**~ We DON'T accept favorites!
Please make sure you submit to the proper category,otherwise your work will be declined!

We DON'T accept any kind of art depicting children,unless there is a horror story behind like 'Samara' from the ring...etc...

**Features: Only the staff can suggest features,all submissions to feature made by members will be declined,unless it is decided from the staff accepting it for its good quality and/or for depicting something powerful.

***The rest of our galleries will allow 1 submission per day...it means you can submit every day,but only 1 work...if an artist plays the smart and submit 2 or 3 works-taking advantage of any security failure- his/her work will be declined.

****Stock Providers: 5 submissions per day.

Please check the proper galleries for your submissions,below there are links for your comfort in finding them easily,we barely decline works,though when we decline works it is because those submissions have nothing to do with dark art or with the galleries we offer...in the same way,we will not accept unfinished works nor those works with a few lines and doodles,no manga,nor anime.
The same we won't accept works that don't have the stock credits,we have a stock gallery and we support them,Stock help us to create wonderful things,so let's give them the proper credit.

Be creative,while some images of people covered in blood are accepted,there are some that won't fit nor be accepted because of poor/bad quality...it means that a girl licking a knife with blood,with her make up smeared all over her face won't really fit the dark theme,except if the image is really creative and scary,it has to show real horror.

Black and white images do not fit into darkness,unless the images depicts a thing -something- related with darkness.

Black and white or color portrays won't be accepted...images of people wearing underwear won't be accepted either.
Nudity is only accepted if it is related to a dark subject or theme,used as a powerful depiction of beauty and seduction but we DO NOT accept unjustified nudity,nor images of 'naked models' with names like 'Lilith,Lestat or Dracula' etc...

Images of people with uncombed/disheveled hair,black lips and nails,torn clothes,knives in hand,or faces without purpose aren't from darkness unless there is a reason for them as zombies,madness at a real level,etc

The word: Quality is an annoying word...this group won't ask only for 'quality works' but we are raising a bit the quality of every submission accepted,so please submit your Best Works,those works that you feel proud of,the kind of art you would submit for a contest or for a special gift.

* NO ID's,NO stamps,NO Promotionals,NO CD Covers,NO book covers.
**No Manga,No anime,No hentai,No OC,No fanfic...
*Fan art just accepted with great quality and it must be a really exceptional work.


<<* Women/men wearing underwear have nothing to do with darkness,so please Do NOT submit those images or they might be declined *>>

**Women,men and children with a gun in the hand,or possing with a weapon are not dark material for our group **

*** Strongly NO racial,No art depicting children in offensive/denigrating situations,No religious offenses nor discrimination art subjects will be allowed.
~*This is a dark group and religious images have nothing to do with our themes.

I deeply thank all my staff members for their superb help/work!
