I just love this wonderful work, It's truly should be one of the semi-finalists.

Lol I did the same thing I thought doing an action scene of the"one" dominant character using her powers on another would look nice, fan art is fan art and they wanted to judge us on how creative our piece was. No worries The one above is wonderful, so full of color and I am sure there are others out there. The semi finalists are still lovely.

Yes, its beautiful. Sadly some people seemingly didnt read the rules where they said one character per ilustration.

Did I imagine it or did the semi-finalist list change? I remember one of my favorite pieces This one of Susabi being there but when I checked today it wasn't. I... might be going senile

Strange thing, I missed some of the works from entries gallery, even though their authors didn't delete them. As example:
I didn't see it here www.deviantart.com/contests/20… , It's just dissapeared. WTF? Someone deleted contestors works from it or what? I was looking all over the gallery but I couldn't find it.

It’s still there. Look at the contest category underneath the work. All categories on DA, including contest category shows up underneath each deviations.
It’s just you’re browsing in a different browsing mode, and there’s are too many entries for it to show up. Try browsing in different modes.

It returned to search results yesterday, but it wasn't in any of categories before that. Newest, hot, popular, gallery with submitted works, searching with tag #kusa etc. I and some of my friends tried to find it and just couldn't. It's just disappeared for few days at all, right in time when judges choosen the semi-finalists.
Seems that someone just sabotated this contest or it looks like. This is not the only one work, which was lost in search results for theese days, and which was mystically returned in search after the results were announced and people noticed, that some of the works were missing. There are few others:

Problem is that I cound't find your work few days ago even when I tried to search it directly by theese tags:
www.deviantart.com/tag/shishio
www.deviantart.com/contests/20…
Now it's on place, yep, but I'm just not sure, that judges really saw all submitted works, cause they are just didn't shown up in categories for some days. It happened not just with me but with some of my friends, who noticed that too.

It's easier to confirm whether something is in the contest entry or not by looking at the category it is in looking at the deviation itself. Another way to do it is to go to the deviant's gallery > Browse All and see the contest category appear on the left side and click to see the category and entries submitted from there. This contest is no different than other ones out there or the regular categories on DA with how the categories appear underneath the works.
The work at question was submitted on June 3 and the ones linked were from June 5. The number of pages I went back were a lot and I didn't even get past June 5 and 4 before my battery was dying. So that's going to be even further back, what with so many entries submitted.
www.deviantart.com/newest/?q=k… and www.deviantart.com/tag/kusa both shows that work when searching with the tag.

As I said, it (like the others) was returned in search results yesterday. But at least 4 days before that (if not even earlier) — just disappeared, like it wasn't even exists — could see it only on author page, but nowhere else, including this gallery:
www.deviantart.com/contests/20…
and theese tags:
www.deviantart.com/tag/kusa
www.deviantart.com/newest/?q=k…
www.deviantart.com/contests/20… .
But yesterday, yes, it's suddenly appeared everywhere, two days after author send her ticket to the support. And now, of course, you can see it like nothing has happened.
I'm not the only one, who noticed that. OlchaS , Prywinko and some others, whom I asked too.

phoenixleo In reply to JustTaira [2018-06-13 22:50:39 +0000 UTC]
There's a bit of randomization (the exact method isn't given out by DA so as not to misuse it) on how the works appear. Years back, it was based on faves for example. So, the chance of seeing a work with a fair share of faves and/or comments is higher in later pages as well as how much the work was faved in the 24 hours, or 3 days, etc. If something else was faved more in the 24 hours than it's possible the other work won't show up more, but likely will show up in the other portions during those periods.
But as I have said, they don't disappear. I haven't seen any deviations disappearing over the course of this contest is open or afterwards whenever I am browsing. If it's in the contest category, it's in. Nor is anyone intentionally making things disappear.
However, if you still insist, and you or anyone have further concerns, contact help with a bug report so they will see if there were actually any bugs related to them not showing up or not.

It seems that you're just don't really understand what I'm talking about. Sorry, English is not my native language, but I said one simple thing:
Some of artworks were dissapeared from ALL categories, ALL search results for few days, despite that they were correctly added to all categories, some of them even were in HOT section for a day, when their authors uploaded them. But after that — whooosh — magic — dissapeared, right before results were announced and — whooosh — magic again — returned to search, browsing and etc. right after some of us noticed that and send tickets to the support.
And yep, we got from support absolutely identically answers, about how popular categories works and nothing specific about the REAL problem with missing works, like we are just blind idiots and nothing happened. It's like to talking with brick wall.

No, I am understanding what you're trying to say, but perhaps you're not understanding fully what I've been saying.
You were only talking about the contest category specifically. 'All categories' mean all the other categories in DA. The digital art, traditional art, fractal art, photography, etc. That's not what you're referring to, are you? If it was, it's a bug problem, and I haven't seen any such issue being complained about yet. Various Sorting/Browsing modes such as What's Hot, Popular (various time periods), Newest, etc are different from the actual DA categories.
You do understand that's how the What's Hot, Undiscovered, and the other browsing modes work right? They are not going to stay in the "What's Hot" section for all the time. Or in the 24 hours section, or the other. Each has likely various algorithm for what will show up in each mode calculating what aspects of favourites, comments, etc are used. My own work appeared in what's hot section two days later and then went away after a day because there were other works that became "What's Hot" at that time. That was it. Same for other sorting/browsing modes. Other works became popular in the other modes and appeared in the "what's hot" section because of that. It's no different from works that were submitted in the first few days disappearing and going to way back in the back pages because other works became more prominent that were uploaded later. Other works that actually got removed from the contest category were because of rule violations (copies, miscats, TOS violations, etc), which they take time to remove as well.
If you got the response from support the same answer, that means there were very likely no bugs present and what is generally the case and is how it works is something that's unknowingly causing misunderstanding and freaking the people out. Were there any bugs present and they investigated, they wouldn't have given that response. How do you think I would be feeling if I were saying there's no intentional disappearing happening and that's how it's supposed to work and someone's still not understanding that's how it's going to work. It seems both the support and apparently I am saying the same about how generally the sorting modes work. And how as long as the entry shows in the contest category, it will be eligible for judging. However, from somewhere, that's unsupported from the helpdesk, you are pointing out some other ways (other than how the browsing mode works) the works disappeared - intentionally, which is not possible if it weren't for bugs. Further explanations that it's not the case is still making you adamant on stating the same thing. At this point, all you can do is contact them to investigate further as a bug report (there's a special category in the help desk for that) or accept that perhaps what we are saying is how it's supposed to be, and it's a misunderstanding on your part in the general way it works. If you did, in fact, use the bug report section for reporting and they haven't found anything and said the same response, that means no such scheme took place.

It's unfortunate, but we traditionalists have to acknowledge that digital has us licked. You can work slightly faster and achieve greater detail. The setback is that diversity in style becomes severely limited.

I disagree, I think that traditional is coming around again and that it will be more popular than digital, but that is just me, but if you look at many new anime films coming out they are traditional again, and sometimes traditional and digital at the same time, I think that there are masters in every media and that neither is better than the other and that both should be acknowledged as such rather than have people trying to push one media more than the other or try to stamp out and discourage one type of artist over another.

PLEASE ANSWER!! I NEED HELP QUICK!! I have a question and I didn't see my answer anywhere in the rules when I read it again.
Is it still possible to back out of a contest now before June 8th or is it too late?
Can I delete my picture for the time being and then re-upload it back up once the contest is over.
I wish I would have thought about this before the contest closed.
I realized that my entry can't be in this contest due to a complicated financial burden.

It's your art you're allowed to do with it whatever you want <3 the contest hosts don't own it. The only thing is that, if you take it out, you will no longer be able to win, but that's what you wanted so that'll be fine <3

Yea, Thanks for that. I wasn't sure at first.
The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that I lose the favs.
So I feel bad for the people who faved the entry into their folders.
That's the only down-side.

I know, That's what I thought too. Maybe, they decided to allow everyone to exit out of the contest if they want to.
It's a good thing but it has it's cons too, which it's too bad. You lose favs tho but oh well.
At least now we both know that it's possible to remove the entry from a contest when we have to.

I wish everybody who entered good luck and the best wishes. Even if we don't win something or get a place, always remember you put your all into it--love, passion, time and effort--and that is what counts really. If you are proud of your entries then that is an emotional win already! Hope everybody enjoyed creating their entries at the end of the day. Now, it's the interesting wait to see the outcome.
Hope everybody is having a good day/night/evening, whatever timeframe it is for you right now.
