Just plain dumb
It frustrates me that friends of mine who I consider great artists are not scouted because their work is not "art portal quality". Apparently this is. A pen sketch that could take any idiot five seconds. I don't care who made it, I don't care if it's the first submission ever. It is a piece of garbage. If the art portal had a blam-protect system, instead of the rather ineffective scouting system, this would not pass. As the art portal FAQ states "If you break the rules or simply submit bad art âEU" stick drawings, circles and squares, etc. âEU" you will be unscouted." A little bit contradictory since this is the "bot" that moderates the art portal.
