Hello fellow members, I am Sunrise-LoneWolf, the new Founder of the group who voluteered to adopt it from the previous Founder.
I've been a member of this group for some long time, and even though I don't submit that much tribal art, I enjoyed seeing art and activities from it. Sadly it seems the group was getting more and more dead and inactive... but I believe that we can make it lively again, or so I hope! We just need some work and exposure for the group, and I will try hard for it on my part. :)

To give the group a fresh start, I'll probably be revamping page and sections designs, and maybe doing some changes on rules and folders, but keeping most of the basic original. Also, almost all the admins were inactive, and this means this group will be opening slots for people who would like to be an admin pretty soon! Currently there are only me and a Contributor, so we'll need an extra hand soon. :aww:
Also we could do events, art trades, challenges and this sort of thing that groups do to make things more exciting, hahah. Any suggestion for future events is welcome!

Until everything is settled, I'm sorry about anything that expires or doesn't work! I'm still messing around a bit with options and such.

Thanks for reading, and any feedback is welcome! :D
Hi all! Here :icontsukihowl:

If you are reading this, you are an active member in this group, an you are interested on being the founder.

So, a couple of things happened, and I became the founder of this group by coincidence.
I was co-founder, but that doesn't work for me anymore, since I'm not that active on DA anymore.

If anyone wants to adopt this group and become founder, please tell me, I'll give you the control and I'll rejoin as a member.
Maybe someone else can give this group more live again.

Greetings!
Hey members, here :icontsukihowl: commenting!
I'm personally not pretty active writing journals, but I think this deserves it.

The Naturama Project 2014 - draw art for nature!




Do you like drawing or creating art?
Do you offer commissions or want to start with it?
Do you love our beautiful nature or have a favourite animal?

So please use your skills and join the Naturama Project 2014!
(Here our website of the last year, we will update it these days for the new year:
naturama-projekt.org/en/natura… )

The Naturama project is a project, that collects artists from all nations to draw together commissions for our environment and the animals, we love.

At the end of the project, we donate ALL money (each cent!) to environmental organisations to help saving:
* the last tigers
* wild wolves
* amazing birds of prey
* sweet and helpless pets
* otters and rare snow leopards
* the marine diversity
* the little but often forgotten wild bees
* the bats
* and this year as special animal the dangerours sharks!

2011 we started the Naturama Project and about 40 artists collected 1.800 Euro!

2012 we were about 87 artists and donated more than 3.000 Euro!

Last year 105 artists draw and create art, so we reached the goal to collect more than 4.000 Euro for our nature!


And this year...?

Become an active part in naturama and send a mail at: info@naturama-projekt.org !

The project starts offically at 1st march 2014! Join us now!

:bulletpurple:PD: I may personaly join this, so if you like to help the nature/animals it's a good oportunity :)
:damphyr: Contributor Recruitment
Hello to everyone, this is :iconplaguedace: speaking and some of the admins including myself are suggesting that we should start recruiting contributors to help us out in this group as it continues to increase in numbers of members. We'll certainly need at least two by the time the group reaches about 250-300 members. The requirements are that you make sure the submissions are going into the right folders and accept/decline submissions through that judgement. If they should ever accidently submit something towards the wrong folder, decline it and let them know which folder it should belong to. And for those who are submitting something non-tribal or non-canine, kindly let them know that this group focuses on canine tribal art. :meow: Co-founders and myself will also be helping out with that so we won't dump all the responsibility on you.
:damphyr: Suggestion to Admins
Speaking of Contributors, I had a suggestion in mind that once we get at least two contributors, we'll start to have a slightly different regulation in which I'd like to share with you and see if it's something that the majority find favorable or not.
Thing is, I'm the type of person who doesn't like to have too much control (as in getting "too bossy" and such) and I want each individuals to have important roles in any group related work so the jobs won't get too boring for anyone and it'd only seem more fair this way. So, I wanted to make a little rule among us admins in which each admin will have their own unique authority over certain parts of the group's circulation.
The role all admins will have in common is the fact that we will make sure submissions go into the right folder and all as I mentioned in the Contributor Recruitment section. Now the part that gets unique (in which other admins will not have authority over if it's not your position) is that I was thinking about getting Contributors to be in charge of the Favorites folder. They'll get to vote on incoming submissions coming into the Favorites folder and choose what goes in them or not as long as it's canine tribal related work. The Co-Founders will have the right to vote and choose among themselves if a submission or two is worthy to go into the "Featured" folder. I, as a Founder, will not interfere with what you all choose to go into those folders and I will only remove works if it's not canine tribal related among those two folders. This'll make Co-Founders and Contributors just as important as the founder to make an active group. With that, an active group will most likely encourage more members to join. Plus, it'd make your position feel extra important and special which is what I want everyone to feel. Now the shared authority between a Founder and Co-Founders is to post journal blogs. The Founder alone is in charge of group notes and comments by replying to members who send in a group note or comment asking questions and takes care of reports of a possible thief and stolen artwork. Hosting possible contests is something all admins will share authority over as long as consent by everyone is given so no one is left out on it. As for submission limits, if any admin feel it needs some changes, it will be discussed with everyone and the final decision is made when the majority agrees or disagrees. Affiliations will also be discussed and voted on by all whether incoming or out. And of course, should any admin have any concerns at all, it shall be discussed with everyone.
:meow: Let me know what you think and don't be hesitant to disagree. I just had this idea pop into my head a couple seconds ago so it sounds like a great idea to me at the moment but I won't enforce it unless the majority agrees. So about 4/5 of the admins including myself needs to agree before it can be enforced officially.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

P.S. In case I did (though I proofread many times) make any typos and maybe slight grammar errors, I am truly sorry about that. English is not my first language (nor is it my second)
Hello everyone, this is :iconplaguedace: speaking and I am here to announce that I have been given the greatest honor to adopt this amazing tribal art group originally founded by :icondansudragon:

As the new founder, I will do my best to maintain this group's excellency and I will be respectful to members and other admins alike. If I should ever come across as rude or anything that may concern you about my behavior, please let me know for I want to always be respectful and not cause troubles for others.
Also, admins, if there should be, at any point in time, where you feel that the working style of this group needs changes and/or improvements, please let me know and we can all discuss and see if there are any rules or regulations we need to change. Members, if you spot anything/anyone suspicious such as a possible stolen art or thief, I need you to please send either me or the group itself a note. (commenting on front page is harder to spot and the message might not reach me) It will do this group and dA a great favor and I will be more than happy to have the honor to award you a llama badge if you haven't recieved one from me before when you do catch a thief.

:icononionbowplz: Have a great day everyone and keep up with your amazing tribal talents! Your creativity never fails to amaze me and bring wonderful inspirations! Keep up the wonderful work~ :clap:

:new: And please welcome our latest admin, a co-founder, :iconbismarckalphawolf: ! :)

P.S. In case I did (though I proofread many times) make any typos and maybe slight grammar errors, I am truly sorry about that. English is not my first language (nor is it my second) ^^;
