Negative Thoughts Group submissions
Changes to group submission rules
Due to DA being overrun by AI, all submissions will no longer be automatically approved.
This is only going to apply for new members joining. Current members may continue to submit and are exempt from this rule.
This is being done to help support those who have spent years learning how to create art and are now getting overshadowed by the massive influx of generated work.
My purpose founding this group many years ago was to help artists get more visibility, in making this decision I am trying to stay true to that original objective.
AI generated work will be declined, anyone repeatedly submitting AI risk being kicked out.
There are plenty of groups accepting AI, this is not one of them.

Lets talk about layers again.
I am always curious about how others work and what processes they use.
On average how many layers do you use?
Do you group layers?
Do you use layer modes? Do you use brush modes?
Any suggestions on using layers for great lighting effects?
If you have any suggestions on processes you use other than layers feel free to post it.
Maybe something you recently learned and want to share with others.
Artists to watch
You won’t be disappointed.
So in random order let me present them to you.
Here is an artist that has been on DA for a couple years now.
Absolutely stunning gallery of work.
Somehow she has been under the radar and that needs to change.
Arasteia is hugely popular and for good reason.
Many of you may already know her work, if you don’t go visit now.
Not only does she have a great gallery she is someone who makes DA a great place to be.
This artist has been here for 3 years now.
Deviously delightful, Must see. I love her work.
Whobleyh has been here about 6 years now, I love her creativity.
Outstanding gallery, and another person that makes DA great.
Weak/Strong Points
Out of curiosity, I would like to know what everyone has difficulties with.
What are your weak spots, areas where you know you need to improve the most?
What are your strong areas, things you do well and are most comfortable doing?
