How hard is it to get into the Art Gallery? I kind of really want that red title for a rather silly reason but still. Unfortunately, all I can do is draw and scan. The only art program I have on my computer is GraphicConverter, which is like a Mac's version of MS Paint. Even if I had access to something like Photoshop, I wouldn't know how to use it. (This also goes for GIMP as well.) Is it even possible for someone like me to win, even though I can't give the picture a nice, smooth look?

I haven't submitted anything in a while, but just from watching, traditional art stands a pretty good chance, actually. It doesn't need to be digital. Sometimes the AG is a bit unpredictable and what gets in or not almost seems random, but it's always worth a shot. Good luck!

Yep. I don't think it would be unreasonable to say that traditional art might even be easier to get into the AG with than digital art, actually. The AG judge(s) seem to like representing a nice mix of media. Most people submit digital works, so I think the standard is set a bit higher for that medium than, say, pencil crayon or clay models (not that there aren't often some incredible works that take those forms as well, though).
I think as far as the AG is concerned, you should always play to your strengths. If you're familiar with traditional art, if you like it, if you're good at it — then you stand a much better chance of getting in with something you create that way than by messing around with some computer program that feels ungainly to you.
TL;DR: You could totally get in, Torkie! Go for it! <3

Thanks you guys. :'D
I'm better at drawing with a pencil and scanning it because that's all I'm capable of. :B I don't have the resources for anything else. I like to think my art has improved somewhat over time, too. <__>
I'll give it another go and see what I can do. :U Hopefully I won't have file size issues like the last time I tried to enter. :< (Like, not how big the picture is, but the file size </sensemake>)

Not quite sure if I can post this here or not, but one of my plushies got into the AG before, so... I finished this little cutie on Thursday and was able to get a good picture of her yesterday for the Art Gallery. Hopefully she'll have similar success getting in as my Ty Bori did. Officially, she's Percipite, since I've been toying with idea of painting her White.

Thank you Tiger, Kozma, and Joel! ;D The Tyrannian one is here- And Grove, I love the paint effect on the Gnorbu! At the same time, it looks beautiful and makes me hungry for some chocolate.
