How do I get into the Art Portal

[TheArc12]

Hey guys! I have been uploading picture for a while now none of its great but I'd like to get some critiques on my stuff. The only problem is the Website says I am not part of the Art Portal yet, and under that it said check out the Art Forums, so I thought I'd come here and Ask some people. Any help would be Appreciated, Id like to get into the Portal by Christmas if possible because I Uploaded a piece for jazza's Challenge of the month this month and I'd really like him to be able to find it. For any one who is wondering this Is the piece I uploaded

I guess you're not scouted yet. Other scouted artists can scout you so your work will be viewable on the art portal.

I have a similar question though, I remember before I was scouted that I was able to see my submissions in the 'latest' category and it would get views and such. I was scouted for a few months then unscouted, and now my submissions don't show up at all in 'latest'. I don't know if this was intentional or I accidentally changed something, but I feel like now there isn't any way for me to get noticed on here again.

Edit: Forgot to say dude, nice work on that picture ;D

I suggest for you to check out Ornery's Handy Dandy Scouting Guide to help you out in attempting to get into the Art Portal.

As long as you tag your picture with 'COTMXMAS14' (which I see you have done) Jazza will be able to find it. So don't worry!

Good luck and take care.
