Self harm in secrets
Due to dA submission rules, DAS
cannot accept secrets that depict real self harm. Makeup and/or other simulated effects are allowed. If you send in a secret that contains images of actual self harm, it will be rejected. If you have any questions, note or email the club.
For dA submission rules on self harm, please see
FAQ #284: Can we submit photographs showing actual injury, self-harm and mutilation?
dA will probably judge on a case by case basis. If you use an image that happens to have a scar on it, it'll probably be ok. It just depends on the focus.
I mean no pictures, but admitting you have a problem with it.
Sorry :/ It seems a little obscure to me. ^^'
So there - I think scars should be allowed, no matter where. My brother has a scar on his wrist because of a ski sharpening injury - it doesn't mean he did it on purpose.
Self hard is a dA rule not a DAS rule.
Meaning this is a rule that though out the whole of dA.
