Mystery Characters



As some of you may recall, some time back we ran a poll asking for opinions on images that are not discernibly Bleach related. The overwhelming response -which we agreed with- was that, if you've got to read the comment to figure out the relation, it shouldn't be accepted.

This Group is intended to be a celebration of a series near and dear to us via the showcasing exceptional fan art and we fully intend to keep the focus on the world of Bleach. We have allowed OC's to be included because they are an extension of that, but some of the submissions we were/are receiving look as though they had nothing to do with it. Their designs were a complete mystery, often not containing a single aspect of the series they were supposedly a part of. They were wonderful pieces of art, to be sure. They just do not belong here.

Of course, the same can even be said for canon characters, albeit it is very rare for such a case. Generally, we have only come across an unrecognizable canon character when they were "aged-up" and dressed differently. (Or, as the running joke has gone, just a close up of an eyeball that could belong to anyone. :roll:)

We actually adopted the policy to turn away what we dubbed "Mystery Characters" not long after the original poll, but it wasn't until recently that I realized I had completely neglected to make a formal announcement on that count. Our written policy has been updated to reflect this change, both on our Policies, Submissions & Standards page and inside the Fan Characters folder itself. Those that made it in prior to this change will be allowed to remain.

On a somewhat related note, please remember that we do not accept any images that contain both fan and canon characters, regardless of the relationship portrayed.


March Features



It's time to start looking for more work starring our March featured characters! This month, they are:

:spotlight-left:The Healers: Retsu Unohana & Orihime Inoue:spotlight-right:


If you come across or have created any images of these characters, please submit them to the appropriate folders: Squad One - Five for Unohana and Karakura High for Inoue. See also the Groups & Battles and Humor & Chibi folders. I'll continue to add to the Featured gallery throughout the month, as new deviations are submitted.

We hope everyone enjoyed February's featured characters and deviants!



QB Point Bank



**BUMP**

In order to keep future donations for QB separate from my personal funds, I've created a secondary account to serve this purpose. From this point on, donations meant for Quality-Bleach should be sent to QB-Point-Bank. I'm trying to figure out a reward system that is both fair and makes sense, so the one that is currently up is subject to change. If you have any suggestions or would like to contribute to the "rewards", please let me know.

The page itself could use an avatar, which I may set as a future contest goal. I haven't had any time to really mess with it, since I made it. If anyone would like to create one, just for grins, feel free. It looks so lonely without an avvy. :sniff:
