Here's Art we LOVE...but isn't in our galleries yet.
(Still awaiting the artists' approval.)

Deviants

We get this question a lot.  Actually, it's the most common inquiry both on the public board and also in our private messages.

Answer:
This simplest answer is that, "It probably won't."  I'm sorry that sounds harsh, but you see we just get tooooooooo many submissions to click "no" on all the no's.  (Yes, when you are a volunteer - as we are - with hundreds or even thousands of art submissions to review, it actually IS too time consuming to click "no... no.... no.... nooooo.)  Instead, we keep the Group's art quality high by selecting only the choicest submissions, and clicking "Yes" to those.

But we DO appreciate each and every art submission (whether your art is accepted or not), and I thank you alllllllll  for your participation in our fantastic, glorious, ever-growing DA Group. :)  You, the artists, make this DA Group amazing!  And also to you, our non-contributing Members and Watchers, I want to express how much we value your membership in our DA Group, how much our artists appreciate each and every view you give their art, and my hope that you continue to appreciate and enjoy the high quality standards of art in our galleries.

Thanks for your understanding, and your continuing support of RowlingTolkienLewis here on DeviantART.

Best Wishes,
Nancy/"SleepingDragons"

Group Info

"Inklings" unite! The most talented and insightful Rowling, Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis fans on the planet are right here! We are a Group for those who admire 1, 2, or all 3 of these great British authors, and/or appreciate their novels and films. Perhaps we even notice the remarkably similar, epic themes that they share. (Oooooo….)

SHARE YOUR TALENT!
Share your artistic depictions and writings on these authors' great stories right here at the RowlingTolkienLewis club on deviantART.
Whether it's J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter gang at Hogwarts…,
J.R.R. Tolkien's Frodo and his Fellowship in Middle earth…,
Or C.S. Lewis' Pevensie siblings seeking out Aslan in Narnia…,
Or of the authors themselves...,
If it has meaning for you, share it here!
And if you love it, but didn't make it, then suggest it to us! We'd love to hear about it.

WATCH THIS GROUP!
Even if your art skills are….well…less than stellar, ours are fantastic! (We say humbly.) Click "Watch this Group" to be amazed and moved again and again. Heck, we may even have a few laughs.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT!
And if you like what's included here please fav it, or comment, to give encouragement to the various artists in our Group. Thanks!

CROSS-OVERS WELCOME!
In addition to illustrating and analyzing your favorite characters and scenes from these 3 fantastic authors (you talented thing, you), feel free to also crossover and compare these 3 epic tales! After all, Rowling, Tolkien, and Lewis are the three greatest Epic British Fiction authors of the 20th century, and beyond. They are a unique trio because they all wrote in the vein of the "Inklings" [British fantasy series writers with religious undertones] and they share some very similar, deeply-held political, social, and spiritual views. Just think of the cross-over possibilities!
Such as:
- Artistic depictions of Harry Potter and Frodo sharing their weakest moments of doubt over destroying their rings?
- Show or Tell us what Aslan would say to Harry in King's Cross Station?
- Imagine Dumbledore and Gandalf in The Three Broomsticks conversing over Butterbeer?
- How about Ron Weasley and Samwise Gamgee rolling their eyes together as their best-friends/heroes get cranky?
- And as for you writers, share your brilliant observations! For example, try writing character comparisons…like how the pain and moodiness Harry, Ron, and Hermione experienced carrying the Horcrux Ring around their necks in Deathly Hallows affected them much like the One Ring affected Frodo? Or write a eulogy about Dobby's bravery?
- Make up your own!
- And then make up some more!

Indeed, the artistic and literary possibilities here are endless. Just let your creativity soar!

So, join our group, and share in the art, memories, thoughts, and innovations of the most talented and insightful Rowling, Tolkien, and Lewis fans on the planet!

JOIN US NOW! :)

Our Founder has created a meticulously-organized, one-stop resource for fans of J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis. Why? Because they are the 3 greatest authors of modern epic fiction series Britain has to offer! Interestingly enough, most fans appreciate more than one of them.

Our Founder has been a fan of Potter since 1999, Narnia since 1980, and LOTR since 2004.

She is also the author of the groundbreaking 2008 book, "Does Harry Potter Tickle Sleeping Dragons?" (Amazon.com [link] ) into which she poured 5 years studying these 3 authors... and why she believes these 3 "Inkling" authors have so much in common. Hence, this Group!

So, welcome! Join our wonderful community built around all 3 of these great authors' works! And don't forget to deviantWATCH us! :)

Group Rules & Submissions

RULES
+ Members are expected to be kind and supportive at ALL times, both to join and to remain in this Group.
+ Please think before you comment. Be nice. Keep it clean. Be constructive.
+ All comments asking for points, pageviews, or are advertising something will be either hidden or marked as spam. So don't even bother.

SUBMISSIONS --BASICS :buymyprints: (Please read before submitting.)
+ Only members can submit art. So, please "Join" first! You will be automatically accepted as a member!
+ NO Fanfic or OCs
+ NO stolen works.
+ NO faint or low-quality pencil sketches
+ NO unaltered movie screenshots.
+ LIMIT of 4 submissions per member per WEEK. So make 'em your best! :)

SUBMISSIONS --DETAILS :reading:
+ HIGH QUALITY and/or INNOVATIVE submissions have the best chance of being accepted. (As you can see by our Galleries, our standards are pretty high... but this also makes RowlingTolkienLewis such a fantastic place for everyone to hang out, and to DeviantWATCH.)
+ All characters must stay "In character." (Except in "Humorous" category.)
+ ONLY Canon, Canon-crossovers, and Canon comparisons can be accepted into our gallery folders -- but there are 3 exceptions to this rule:
1) The "Humorous" folders
2) The "Lily and Snape Pairings" folder, since they might reflect Snape's Lily-obsessed fantasies.
3) The "The Fans Throw the CANON OUT THE WINDOW" folder, where anything goes...well, almost anything.
+ We have a long, well-organized list of folders. Please submit your deviation suggestions to the appropriate folder.
+ Don't know which folder? If in doubt, please just submit to "Featured" and we will move your work to the appropriate folder if your art is accepted into the gallery.

SUBMISSION ACCEPTANCE :community:
+ Our goal is to be a high quality resource for the entire community. Therefore, NOT all art submissions will be accepted. Sorry.
+ Submissions or suggestions that are NOT accepted will NOT receive individual reasons or feedback, and will simply expire. This is because we are a very busy Group with thousands of submissions. Again, sorry....
+ If your art is accepted, thank you for participating! And congratulations!
+ If your art is not accepted, please don't take it personally. You are still an equally valuable member of this Group! :dalove:

Would you consider this drawing of Narcissa [link] worthy to be submitted to this group? (I'm no member, but I will join if you say that you might accept her =)). THis group inspires me to make more fan art :D (Legolas is on the to-do list already!)

Is this group still active? I submitted a picture on September 16, and it's still not approved.

Excuse me, is this group still active? I submitted a deviation on the twenty fifth of August, and another on the twenty sixth. Both of them have been completely ignored, neither accepted nor declined.
I realize this is a fairly sizable group and you handle a lot of submissions in numerous categories, so perhaps they were simply overlooked. However, two weeks is a long time to wait.

:iconsleepingdragons:
Thanks for your question. This group is still active. Quite so! :)

We do handle a rather large number of submissions, and so sometimes it does take a couple weeks (though not always).

And your art submissions have just been accepted into our group. Congratulations! Nice LOTR work.

Thank you! If I seemed a bit impatient, it is only because I had submitted the very same deviations to a few other groups that had been completely neglected, hence my asking.
Apparently some groups simply go dormant. :shrug:
