Graduation Update and the Great Decline

Good Day!
Anyone here who played the YAOI game Graduation by GAS? I did more research and found out that this game was released last 1999!!!

Man! I was still an innocent toddler at that time! I was still in the first grade back then... but now, I know things like these! Ohohohoho!

As previously posted, I decided to make fan arts of the date-able hotties from that game. There are a total of six guys and I've already finished some of them. Oh Gosh! They make me blush while I'm drawing and coloring them!

Curious about the original art designs? The game's official site has its some sorta gallery HERE.

Lately, groups kept on declining my artworks. I've read the rules so there's no way it should have been rejected.

A group where I submitted Takeshi Arashiyama declined it calling it not-"bara" enough. Then I submitted it to a non-"bara" group and they also declined it calling it too-"bara".

Now I'm really confused about these groups' perception of what is "bara" and what is not. So I decided to leave these groups because If I can't understand the submission rules now, chances are, I won't be able to in the future.

Plus, its really hard for an artist to asses how good his/her works are. For me, all my drawings are good and I think other artists would think of that too to their own art! How could one possibly asses his/her own level and submit it to "beginner", "intermediate", or "Godly"; this are just my own examples. These are really vague just like the evaluation sheets for my teachers which ranks the answers to the questions as "strongly agree", "slightly agree", "neither agree nor disagree", etc.

I just love how other groups keep it very simple and very easy for members to understand the rules in submission. Something like "with clothes" or "without clothes", "digital" or "traditional", and "fan art" or "OC" among others.

I just checked some galleries again and found out that chibis seemed to be very "hot" and acceptable to the "yaoi" world. Maybe I'll start to draw chibis now!

Some artists here, like me, just like to entertain other people through our art. It's just tht I decided to entertain by drawing males.

That's all!

Yesterday, I was looking for a wand scanner in the stores. But sadly, I couldn't find any!
-sigh- I think I would buy the regular scanners.
