Well this is certainly discouraging. How hard is is to get into the AG? Is it something wrong with my art style or quality? ._. No one commented when I tried posting it up, so maybe it's just not that good?

No one commented when I tried posting it up, so maybe it's just not that good? *hugs Sarn* It's a matter of luck, luff. <3 Some of what I consider my best stuff did not get in while some rather crappy art did. Just keep trying and you'll make it.

I agree with Celestial, Sarn. There is a big degree of luck to it, and I've also seen rough sketches get in. Which really irks me, being honest; the info page itself says effort is key, and that, to me, implies finished pieces. All I can suggest is to keep trying!

Actually, TNT does seem to prefer certain styles. There are some users which seem to get in again, and again, and again. I tend to not see anything realistic, either. Like with Celestial, the images that I'm really proud of don't seem to get in (Krawk day, Buzz Day, and Lutari day.) while the ones that I'm not as satisfied with apparently do (Lawyerbot day, Grey Day, and Kougra Day) Behold! My most rushed AG piece ever. Anyway, Biscuit, I adore your entry! The poses and details and coloring, ahh so pretty.

Thank you much for the kind words guys <3 I really adore your Kougra Day entry too, Grove, it's wonderfully colourful! I rarely get to see that good a use of the bristly brushes, either! Well done on getting in

Sarn, just keep trying. I've been stalking for a while and some of the stuff that gets in...I dunno, I feel like my stuff is way better and I've never gotten in. It may just depend on how many entries they have for the day too...I'm going to keep trying. I just want to get in ONCE and get the trophy x)

Hope it gets in, it's my first entry! I'm going to have to wait until Lupe day to see, though. :c

Congrats on getting in for Kougra Day, Grove! Rushed or not, the stylized shapes you gave the Kougras' bodies were really nice to look at.
And Biscuit, that picture is awesome. xD I really like the poses and expressions and of course the scene in general.
Good luck with Lupe Day, Luna--I like his ultra-happy expression. xD

Also, I have to agree that the Art Gallery shows preferences for certain styles, but it might be worthwhile to remember that the AG is not judged by technical quality (or at least, that's not one of the most important factors in judging). It's mostly a contest to catch the judge's eye in whatever way you're best at, whether that's using a certain style or drawing from a certain angle or having an good concept (I find that humor tends to help). Sometimes I may not be sure why one particular entry caught the judge's eye, and for all I know it was grabbed at random just to fill out the page, but it definitely would have been considered for more factors than just the skill involved in making it. If only the best artists got in, the AG would be dominated by a much smaller number of regulars, and that would probably be even more frustrating.

Gee, I think I draw Petpets more than neopets. XD; The eye looks like it's positioned wrong, but oh well. XD

*sheepishly shuffles paws* Sarn, I love the way you did the feathers here. The shading makes 'em look really fluffy. x3 The background and jewelry look really nice as well.

Finished it! Here's hoping... Not sure if this will make it, actually. TNT doesn't seem all that keen on the particular "anatomically correct" anthro style I like to use. I've had three similar submissions rejected, and I'm starting to wonder if it's a pattern. Then again, they weren't actually that good, so...
