Time for a couple updates, and questions for our members! If you could take the time to read through this and give us some feedback, that would be great

First of all, the club has a new affiliate:
It operates a bit differently than this club; at *Critique-It they have a specific group of people in charge of giving out critiques (at ~GoldenCritique-Club, the source of critiques come from the members and maintainers). Check it out if you're interested!

Second, DeviantArt seems to be having some submission problems on certain accounts. There is a forum post here: [link]
We do have a submission waiting to go, but it looks like we can't upload it to the club until the bug is fixed.

Thirdly, we'd like some feedback on extra things to do with the club! For instance:

Favorites
Right now, the club's favorites are empty. I was thinking of adding some good tutorials/reference guides. What would you like to see there?


Features
Some clubs will use their journal to occasionally feature artists or individual deviations. We could do a feature of a random active member, or feature non-member submissions that have critique requested, but hasn't gotten any critiques.
I think in order to post thumbnails, the club needs a paid account (which it doesn't have at the moment). So if people do not feel very strongly on the features, we'll hold off on that idea for now.


Contests or collaborations
Would anyone be interested in entering a club contest? What kind of a contest would you be interested in? Some possibilities are:
-design a new icon/ID for the club
-a self improvement contest, similar to the "Kick your own ass" contest that DA held a few months ago.
-a tutorial contest
-a group collaboration, where one person started a drawing, then handed it off to the next person to work on, etc. This could be just one collaborative drawing, or it could be more like an exquisite cadaver (see explanation and examples: [link] [link] [link])
