Affiliates

Would you like to affiliate?

If you are a Pokemon-related Group and would like to affiliate with us, feel free! (Just hit the 'Affiliate' button on your group menu and put in our name!)
We'd be honored!

:bulletred: All affiliates should be appropriate for a teenage audience.
:bulletred: We do not affiliate with any hate clubs, whether they be anti character, shipping, game, person, etc, or anything controversial.
:bulletred: We may extend to other gaming and anime series Groups (not characters, please) if we feel they have a similar audience to Pokemon. This is up to our discretion, however, and we can't make any promises...
:bulletred: We may not affiliate with Groups that are presented poorly, mainly referring to Groups that don't bother with writing properly. This is not because we want to be stuck up, but not bothering with a little detail like that says a lot about the quality of the Group you're running. We're not worried about mistakes or typos, it just needs to look like you made an effort to present your Group.
:bulletred: We do not affiliate with Groups devoted to specified fancharacters. We're not against fancharacters, but there are just too many out there. We are not against general fancharacter groups, however, so something like 'The Pokemon OC/Fancharacter Group' would be fine.
:bulletred: If you substantially or regularly donate to our club, we'll affiliate with a non-Pokemon or gaming related club, so long as you are an admin of that club, or if it is alright with the rest of that club's management, and if it conforms with the rest of the above rules.


Our Awesome Affiliates!

Contributing Art?

We love getting contributions from our members! But please keep the following in mind:
No traced, recolored, or base art! Also, no fakemon or fusions unless for a specified contest or event!
Please submit to the correct folder! Please check out the Poke Fan Art folder ([link]) and its subfolders for where to submit. The others, such as Draw Me a Pokemon, are for club-specific activities.

Please read the info and rules window by scrolling down under this box!

Also, we can only accept two (2) submissions from each member per week, so choose wisely! =) Don't worry, this doesn't apply to contest event submissions - only the general submissions folders: Poke-Fan Fiction and Poke-Fan Art

Thank you so much! =D

Want to join?

Anyone can join! You find the 'Join Our Group' button at the top of the sidebar to the far left!

Welcome to the Poke-FanClub!



This is a community for all kinds of art-loving Pokemon fans! Home of activities such as the Pokeswap and Draw Me a Pokemon, we encourage artists of all types and all skill levels to join us and produce great Pokemon art!

Being on such a diverse art site, we feel it's important not only to create a place for Pokemon lovers but to encourage our members to hone their creativity and develop their art skills! The Pokemon franchise provides designs and characters for a lot of different skill levels, making it a great subject for learning artists.

As this is a place for artists of all levels to grow and congregate, in our activities and events we do not judge submissions by the level of their technique but by the effort and creativity put into them.

If you would like to become a part of our community we would be honored to have you! If you have any questions, please visit our FAQ page!

Info and Rules!

Submitting Art

To submit a picture to the club, head over to our gallery and go to the folder you would like to submit to and hit 'Submit to this folder" at the top of the page.

:bulletred: Members can submit 2 pictures per week to our Poke-Fan Art gallery!
:bulletred: We don't accept any stolen, traced or recolored art, colored coloring pages (or lineart) etc, nor do we accept screencaps from the anime. We only accept sprites if they were made completely from scratch. Basically, we don't accept art that wasn't made fully by you.
:bulletred: Unfortunately, we don't accept fakemon into our gallery, unless specified for a contest or event.
:bulletred: We don't accept anything of mature content, since this is a club for all ages.


Pokeswaps and Contests

:bulletred: The most important rule for the Pokeswap is to follow through with your piece. If you signed up, then you must submit a picture. Even if it's late, it's only fair to do your part. Not submitting a Pokeswap means someone won't receive one, even though they worked hard to make one for someone else.

Additional rules for the Pokeswap can be found here! [link]

:bulletred: When voting for contest winners, please judge be aware of the contest specifications.


Other

:bulletred: Please do not advertise groups, projects, websites or anything like that on our pages. If you would like to promote your Group, see if it matches the criteria below and affiliate!

If you have any other questions or doubts, please visit our FAQ page.

Contest: A Different Type of Pokemon

Fri May 18, 2012, 5:53 PM by ~Ayemae:iconAyemae:


A Wild Contest Appeared!

Hello Poke-fans, and welcome new members!

Things have been slow lately, so it's high time we liven things up a bit with a contest!


A Different Type of Pokemon


The objective of this contest will be to take a Pokemon (or evolutionary line of Pokemon) and reimagine it as a different type!  

The staff will judge the winners based on who we determine have struck the best balance between creatively changing the Pokemon's original design and its recognizability, so remember:

:bulletwhite: We must be able to tell what Pokemon it is that you redesigned!  If we can't see the resemblance to the original, unfortunately it won't do so well in judging.

:bulletwhite: Be creative!  Don't just color a Charmander blue and call it a Water type or stick wings on a Bibarel and call it a Flying type.  You can do better!

:bulletwhite: The judging is strictly for the visual design of the Pokemon, so don't worry about drawing a background or coming up with new moves or anything for your design.  Feel free to do that if it tickles your fancy, though!

The deadline is June 18th, 11:59PM EST!
Please submit all entries to the 'A Different Type of Pokemon' folder by then!



Rules


:bulletred: The title of your entry Deviation must include the name of the Pokemon you're redesigning and its 'new' type.  For example, "Water Charmander" (or "Water Charmander Line" if you decided to do its evolutions as well!).  If you also choose to give it a new name you can put it in the title as well, but the type and original name must be included!

:bulletred: Only redesign using official Pokemon types please, so no 'Light' types or anything of that nature.  Along the same lines, 'Legendary' is not a type, so normal Pokemon redesigned as legendaries or vice versa don't qualify for this event.  :(

:bulletred: All types of visual art mediums that lend to designing are allowed, including traditional, digital, or sculpture if you wish!

:bulletred: If the Pokemon you're redesigning has two types, you may change both types or only one.  It's up to you!  However, please don't merely add or subtract types.  At least one type must change, and your redesign can only have two types maximum.

:bulletred: Only one species of Pokemon or one evolutionary line per Deviation.

:bulletred: You may submit up to two entries, but only one of your entries can place!

:bulletred: This contest is to reimagine an actual existing Pokemon, so unfortunately, your entry cannot be your own evolution of an official Pokemon, a fusion of official Pokemon, or a Fakemon.  (Because of this, unfortunately we also have to discourage 'Eeveelution' entries since it would be hard to distinguish them as a reimagining and not a new Eeveelution altogether. Eevee itself is fair game though!)

:bulletred: Your entry must have been made for the contest, so no deviations from before May 18th, 2012!

:bulletred: All other Poke-fanclub rules apply: All art must have been made completely by you (no tracing/sprite edits and that sort of thing), must be all-age appropriate, etc.!  If you aren't familiar with the regular Poke-fanclub rules, please read them on the front page.

:bulletred: Have fun!  :dance:
