When you wanna submit a piece of artwork to DA you'll see a long "agreement" notice. Seems to me you're not the owner of your artwork anymore, everything can happen.
I strongly hesitate to submit artwork again here. In this case, I'd siply write a journal entry linking to the newly accepted piece on the Dinosaurucon once in a while, and that's all.
Any input?

A bit of an update
So as you've seen, I've drawn some prehistoric beasts again, but I'll be slow, it won't be like during the years 2001-2005. Time has passed and I have many other things to do. I still have a big collection of drawings from that epoch I'll post now and then here. Well, let's see how DA will consider paleoart, always based on photos of skeletons or on various skeletals.
So some questions here:
- Is it worth it taking a print account and to sell prints through DA?
- If there was a problem, and otherwise having an alternative where to post art (and be in contact with artists, especially paleoartists), what's the best? Facebook is excluded. I d
Strange Chicken in the Village
Some strange phenomenon just happened in Roche-à-Frème, Belgium: a hen laid eggs as usual some time ago, but one chicken is born with 3 claws at each wing. I'm thinking about telling geneticians about it, because it looks to me like a very rare case of reversed darwinism!
GODDAMNIT... The neightbors just told me right now: to be left in peace, they killed the chick and now it's in the soup!
You know, it's ol'Ardenne here. Too bad for scientific experiments!
Some minor changes
So, already two new pieces have been added to this paleontography gallery. I'm planning a larger illustration for late Fall based on some ~DrScottHartman (https://www.deviantart.com/drscotthartman) 's skeletals. I have a job and other occupations outside artistic ones, so well, this gallery will be slow during this year.
I removed my real name from this gallery: my real name will be used only for my job and what's related to my job. I will now use "Luka Sclayène" as an artistic alias (really, just see it as an artistic alias), and I prefer now to be known that way as an artist, was it paleoart, fantasy or comics. However, to keep a sort of continuity, I will still sign my paleoart
I might very well return...
...after all these years.
Still looking after some interesting critters to draw. Dinobirds, Triassic basal critters, things like that. And some wild Nature to go with it.
It seems the DML is about dead lately. The DinoData forum is gone. So I nwonder how to have some contacts with the young paleontologists - like the way I drew some sauropods (Gondwanatitan, Paralititan)... years ago. I know JP is far, far ago and dinomania is gone. But it seems the best paleontographists still stay, which is a very good thing.
Uh, also, what has to be left behind is left behind, no need to say more.

Say if they did that it would beat the purpose of having a free art gallery. (Informed) People would never come near this site. And those who are here would leave in a second as the above commenter. From what I've read about they're just securing more rights than they'll ever have to use to avoid spurious lawsuits.
*reads agreement*
Point 2 clearly states you are still the owner of your art. Third parties refered are services provided by others to display the art (in fact I think display is the only real use given to art here) you upload here.
Point 3.5 says that you forego all rights to items which _include_ your art: would you want to get paid to be featured among that monthly presentation of twenty artists? Or in case you get a sub and want to advert your gallery get paid for the use of one of your pieces for you gallery banner, or even for the prints ads?
I think those are the main points of contention. Hope I have at least cleared them a bit.
