So I've been waiting for the pending group closure to be accepted. Instead I was contacted to rather look for a new founder because the group was popular...I sort of thought it was dead...
So yeah...here I go:
Anyone willing to be the new founder?
Should be someone who is active on dA
...and maybe has been here for more than 2 years
...and who is willing to carry on with the set of rules that I have set up back in the day, or at least some important ones...
So whoever wants to become the new founder of this group may comment under this journal. I'll be waiting for a few days and if there are several suitable applicants I'll roll a die.
Best regards

Hello members...
since I'm only returning today and since I'm not able to manage any groups for now, I'll be calling all of them off. I'm sorry, but I sort of want to make a fresh start now that I'm back and I have to get used to the new dA, get back into the community and so on. Plus I'm not a core member so managing more than 3 groups isn't actually possible hahaha.
One day I might be able to manage or co-found a group again, but for now I'll be fine without any additional responsibilities. I guess this group has been sort of dead anyways ever since I left dA behind many many years ago.
Since I have a lot of (dead) groups, I'll be using this text in all of them - just in case you are also member of one of my other groups.
Thank you for all your contributions in the past <3
Maybe we'll meet again in chat or somewhere else in this community :)

Hello there...

I just realized, that a couple of members left the group most likely due to the pile of Expiured submissions. I'm seriously sorry.

I'm currently caught up in other activities and real life so I can't be all that active. But it seems the two Helpers I chose in the beginning of the group aren't that of a big help as they do nothing :|

So yeah it seems that we need Contributors to help with voting on submission to avoid a looong queue and expirations.

Whoever woul like to help out shall drop ME a NOTE.

Comments won't be accepted as application as I sorty only pay attention to notes at the moment or sometimes personal comments.

I hope you are all well :)

PS: Yes I use this same text in another group of mine :D Lazy as shit today xDDD
Hello there :)

Due to a lot of miscats I stumbled upon recently and join request of newly joined people who do not seem to understand that their photoshop paintings aren't fractal art I thought it was a good thing to clarify things (again).

So to keep it short I'll make two lists - just as easy as that :D

 photo Untitled-2.png

:bulletgreen:What is considered to be Fractal Art:bulletgreen:

Pictures rendered with:
- Apophysis/Metaphysis
- Ultra Fractal
- Mandelbulb
- Fractal Explorer
- JWildfire
- Chaotica
- Inkblot
- Incendia
- Tacitus
- Sterlingware
- Chaosscope
- XenoDream
- SmartPhone Apps that clearly RENDER Fractals

Fractal Manipulations in the sense of:
- Taking a RENDER and majorly manipulate it with other software
- Tinkering a Manip out of DIFFERENT RENDERS with other Software

RAW Fractal is considered what is:
- Unmanipulated Render
- Render with its Background/Frame added with other Software
- Render with SLIGHTLY edited Curves and Colors

:bulletred:What is NOT considered to be Fractal Art:bulletred:

Fractal-like art created with:
- PhotoShop
- Gimp
- PaintShop
- ArtRage
- 3D-Generators (Brace, Poser, C4D, ...)
- SumoPaint
- MS Paint
- Pinting-Apps for Smartphones
- FlamePainter, Silk Interactive, etc

Photomanipulations:
- of any kind which LOOK like a fractal
- which minorly use Fractal Stock/Art as a special effect

So I hope that makes some things clear. Feel free to share this in your group or even copy&paste the content into your group blog/journal but please credit me somewhere ^^.

If you have something to add or further questions: PLEASE COMMENT under this blog. Thank you ^^

ANOTHER IMPORTANT EDIT: PLEASE!!! As mentioned before..Since this group is sorting their members into Folders by the beginning letter of their username it's is necessary that you comment here when you change your username. Otherwise the lists will become messed up because dA autochanges the name that is displayed even if the code still uses the old name. So if your name previously started with A but you now changed it to something beginning with X an X name would be misplaced in the A-Folder as well as your deviations. So PLEASE...PLEASE help me to keep the folders tidy so they stick to the rules. Because untidy folders will confuse new members or even older members. Thank you :aww:

IMPORTANT EDIT: PLEASE: do not forget to comment under this journal if you changed or change your username to I stay up to date. Whenever I add new members to the lists I find changed names. Of course I move them and the art that belongs to those deviants but it would be faster if you guys commented here after changing your nick :aww:

Hello there :)

Since today you guys can change your usernames - at least those who have an active Premium Membership.

However these changes affec this group since the Folders are alphabetically sorted.

That does NOT mean you may not change your names - I just would like you to tell me so I can sort you and your art into another folder if necessary.

Just comment under this journal if you changed your username no matter if the new one starts with the same letter or a different.

Thanks and happy fractaling :aww:

Current commentor names and artworks have been rearranged :#1:
