Are these acceptable fl and if so, where?

OK, so I just got turned down over at TFL for two fanlistings because they explained the subjects were not TFL approved but that they might be approved here. Problem is, I have NO Idea where to apply! Both are digital artists that works resemble anime in a way [lots of bishies] and they sell their artbooks and stuff at anime conventions. They also work on actual companies so they are professionals as well. Here are their names and websites:

Yang Fan - http://www.yangfanart.com/

Lian Yan Fang - http://www.heisejinyao.com/


Any help is GREATLY appreciated.  :wub:    :hug:

Unless they draw fanart, I'm pretty sure they're not approvable here either :hug: The closest category would be Fanart: Artists under Fanstuff, but that's only for artists who draw fanart of existing anime characters.

edit: oh, I just saw some Bleach fanart in that first link, so you may be able to apply under Fanstuff. I'd check with that staffer first, though :wub:

If they create fanart (art based on already existing anime/manga series), they could I suppose be approved here under Fan Artists, but the fanlisting approved here would only cover them in regards to their fanart creations, not the rest of their artwork (and from my quick look around their sites, I don't think they're predominately fan artists).  I'd suggest sending a contact form to the Arts staffer at TFL to give them additional information and to further discuss the issue.  If they're published digital artists, I'd imagine they would best be approved in the Art category at TFL somewhere, but I'm not sure if they approve digital artists. They don't really belong here at TAFL (especially since they seem to be published artists - I wouldn't consider them fan artists and they don't have anything to do with Anime or Manga really).

mailyn,

I contacted Adia over at TFL after you posted and she said she thinks it should be listed at TFL as well.  She's going to get in touch with the Arts/Design staffer and they will get in touch with you about it.  She said to let you know that if you have any problems you can contact her at adia@tfl.org.  :wub:
