Octane Render users on DeviantArt.com

Hello,
Im still finding ways of promoting Octane Render around the world
After the Vimeo group (wich is growing slooowly) for submitting videos
Here's the DeviantArt group for all the fellow deviants !

The group has only 1 rule, its very simple, you should always post your image first on the Octane Render forum (under gallery or work-in-progress)
Then you are allowed to submit it to the DeviantArt group. This way, there's no competition between the forums and the DeviantArt group ;)

This is not an "official" group, Its not made for technical support, its only a fan-made group

What's good about groups in DeviantArt is that they can "affiliate" to other groups !
For example if the Octane Render group affiliate with the Luxology Fans group, they will be shown in each other homepages
That's more users for both groups, more comments, more fun etc... :mrgreen:
Luxology Fans group are already affiliated with the Zbrush-guild group
And they search for other groups to affiliate with ;)

Icon design mini-competition

Introduction

The group need an icon, it should be good looking and original
Its shown in the group homepage and in the list of groups on Deviant Art

Rules

The size of the icon must be 100 pixels by 50 pixels
The fileformat must be JPEG (100 quality) / PNG (with transparency) / GIF (animated or not)

The competition end the 25 April (midnight) the deadline will be extanded if there's not enough icons

Price

Honor ?

Nice one Eric
There's no need to put a "group" word on it
Since only groups have such big icons on DeviantArt ;)

But if you really want it you can keep it, that's ok

Nice ones
I like the "Octaners" + the colorfull logo

Remember that the name of the group is close to the icon
You don't even need to put text on your icon
You must use the Octane Render logo (or the "Octane Render" words in text)
So if you need more room for the logo, do one with only the logo ;)
