Group Info

Welcome to True Amazons! The group for art depicting women as strong, tough, dominant, or corageous... but tastefully.

Basically, the point of the group is this: Empower Women. You don't have to be a woman to join, but you do have to respect the way women feel when they view your art. We want pictures of role models for women, not soft porn for men. There are tons of other groups on DeviantArt that are full of naked, huge-breasted bimbos... but we won't take that here! Girls, this is YOUR turf. Guys, you are welcome to stay, as long as you behave yourselves. :)


THE RULES - Please read before submitting art:

• All art must be ON-TOPIC, meaning that their main focus is a woman, and this woman must be powerful or inspiring. Just because there is a woman in the picture does not automatically mean it's on-topic.

• All characters must have REALISTIC (natural-looking) body proportions and anatomies, and realistic body poses. Please, NO pictures of women posing to show their butt and their boobs in the same shot.

• Keep it CLEAN. We don't want people coming here just to ogle at boobies. Please, no soft-core porn, lewd pin-up, gratuitous thong-shots, erotica, women fighting each other naked, or artwork specifically fetishizing sexual body parts. Any nudity must have a non-erotic justification. If you drew a woman naked (or topless) just because you think it's hot, then that's not good enough justification for this group.

• ABSOLUTELY NO art or comments that are degrading to women, anything that portrays women as weak or helpless, women as prisoners or slaves, women in bondage, women being abused, impending rape scenes, “peril” art, Gorean art, or art that promotes the victimization of women.

• All submissions must show reasonable artistic and presentation QUALITY. No unfinished or poorly-presented art, faint sketches, quick doodles, blurry photos, drawings on lined paper, smudgy pencil sketches, or very novice artwork. Colored art is preferred; uncolored art should be well-shaded or otherwise obviously complete.

• Watch out for REDUNDANCY. Please only submit one version of each piece, ideally the most complete version. Also try to avoid submitting sequence series.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Contributor positions are open! If you like to submit art to this group often, then you may send a note asking us to let you become a Contributor! Contributors will be able to submit art to any gallery folder (and not just the Sorting Folder) and have it be automatically accepted. But Contributors must also follow the same group rules as everyone else, and therefore they must understand the rules thoroughly before being granted this status.

Gallery Folders

Comic Book Heroines
Folks ~

I am extremely frustrated, and also confused, as to why so many of the members of this group can't seem to submit art to the correct folder.  I don't understand how it can possibly be so difficult to notice which folder you are submitting art to, especially when only two folders were open for direct submissions.  This has especially been a problem recently, and only with this group, not my other two groups.  I am mystified.  

I have gotten very tired of moving people's drawings and paintings OUT of the Amazons Deviant ID's folder.  So, I have closed that folder.  Now, only the Sorting Folder is open.

That said, we still do want Amazon's Deviant ID's to be submitted to this group.  They will just go into the Sorting Folder like everything else, and the admins will move them into the correct folder.  Please, submit your personal photo if you feel comfortable (and are female), or submit photos of female friends or relatives whom you admire (with their permission)!  We want to show that empowered women are all around us in real life, and are not just fantasy characters!

Thanks,  :iconskyjaguar:

Thank you for the request of my Dark Vengeance piece. Glad you liked it. :D

I'm surprised you didn't think this one was particularly Amazonian:

Well you know what you're doing, I'm just an artist. :lol:

That one's good, too. I don't always check the artists' galleries when I find things that I want to request to put in the group. I just let the artist decide if they want to join, and then they can submit anything they want (as long as it adheres to the rules!) :)

Okay thanks.:) I wasn't sure if it was along the right lines for your group. Some of my female characters are slightly violent. I think I'll put in a join request then.

As long as women aren't being portrayed as victims, then violent characters are allowed. I haven't seen your join request yet, but I'll approve it next time I check the group messages. :)

Hello Ladies!

I have a question:
Recently I drew a 5-pages comic of a female character of mine for a contest. I'd like to post it here, but I'm not sure if it fits. This woman indeed is strong ( and fully dressed ) but she's not really a rolemodel, since she's a hitwoman and more sided with Evil than Good.
You wanna take a look at the pages or is it already clear she doesn't fit?
