  General Creed of the Group:

> As a member, watcher or a visitor, feel free to submit the best or most beautiful art of elves you find out there or you have created yourself;
> Absolutely NO AI-generated images!
> Only advanced level artist's work, and high quality and moderately to highly skilled-standard art will be accepted in the gallery, with beauty being a core element;
> Female elves only (or other species with elf-like ears);
> Must be original art, cannot be a re-post of a commissioner, cannot be a re-post of art that is not done by you, and please do not steal other people's work;
> Only re-posts of photographs will be accepted, only if they have proper credits in the description and disclaimer;
> No submissions that go against dA's guidelines;
> Please submit to the right folders; to read their descriptions you can click on the folders themselves in the gallery, if you are not sure you can send a note to the group;
> WoW elves will most likely not be accepted, but there can be exceptions;
> The elves in the submitted works must show visible elf ears, the group epitomizes it as an essential element in celebration of these creatures;
> NSFW pieces are welcome, as long as they stay true to the group's standard;
> Plain fetish works, like torture or slavery, without much emphasis on beauty will not be accepted
> About up to three best pieces of the same artist will be accepted per day or at a time (while you can submit up to 10 a day) so as to not overwhelm our lovely watchers;
> Submissions that don't meet the standard of the group won't be accepted, but they will not be declined either, as all elven art is beautiful. If the submission expires after a while then it hasn't been accepted in the gallery (if you resubmit the work thinking it has been overlooked or an error, I will let you know about this in a comment, if you didn't receive feedback for it yet);
Works with expired submission requests on the artist's side or honorable mentions will be added to the Favorites collections, unless the artist has denied a submission before;

Primarily, think of this group as your own; post works that would please you to be in it, making them semi-eternalized in the galleries;


 The standard of the group for the girls:
> Anatomically accurate and symmetrical in proportions;
> High skill work;
> Facial beauty;
> Young or youthful-looking (not seeming particularly aged or having signs of it);
> Full set of hair, but there can be exceptions;
> Slim, average, "thicc", or tastefully fit but still feminine physique;
> Healthy smooth skin (or lack of veins showing);
> Of the themes or settings of the works they can be various, there is no limit (they may be medieval elves, fantastical, modern, sci-fi/futuristic, etc.);
>Tasteful depiction of the subject(s);
> If anything or to simplify, on first glance the subject seems 'heavenly' to one by its beauty, the general idea of perfect beauty pleasing the senses:
> The work will not be accepted if it is creepy rather than 'heavenly' in some aspect, or has excessive gore;

- If you would like to contribute to the creed or the workings of the group, feel free to let us know via Note to the group;

- When you submit other artists' deviations the best will be accepted, though it will take some time before it gets included in the galleries as the artists would need to approve them or not first;

- Feel free to leave a note or comment to the group if you have any questions;

Invitations:

We send out invitations to fellows with good taste in elven art through their Favorite Collections, or great artists who may post their best elven works as well (if you are one and you like the cause of our group then by all means feel free to join!)

Looking at these images is like a palate cleanser for the soul. Please tag me if you see any deviations that should be added to this collection!
