My first submission to the DAZ Gallery, but how will I know...

Figuring out the DAZ Gallery is now my primary interest. I created 7 images of a model I've (well, myself in conjunction with TITTB) built over this last year. I'd like to get some feedback from the Gallery first before selling it to DAZ. There isn't a question and answer function that seems to work within the interface (am I surprised?). To sell anything, images have to be JPG, but what about in the Gallery? I uploaded these images as high-quality PNG images. Did they get bumped and nobody is saying anything?

    Is this your first time submitting to the gallery? First-time posters do have a pre-clearance period, but after your initial images get approved by the mods, you'll be able to post new images immediately.

    It is my first time. Will they tell me if I have to replace the PNGs with JPGs? I really dislike JPGs for a Gallery. BTW, I see by your "quote" that you are a DA person. You can see the seven images I want to put on the DAZ Gallery on my DA site. They are the latest images posted there. Four of them have watermarks, but the Gallery images will not: https://www.deviantart.com/take-it-to-the-bank/gallery/81578898/lilith-8-1

    If I receive positive feedback I will begin the process of selling this model to DAZ Studios.

    I always render to PNG, so that's what goes into my gallery, and it's never been a problem. I think they instituted the pre-approval period after I started posting, so I don't know how long it typically takes to get initial posts approved, or what the process looks like from the user's perspective. As far as I'm aware, watermarks aren't an issue, either, so I see no reason the images wouldn't be approved.

    I read the JPG preference in the notes about pre-approval, so I went ahead and saved out the DAZ Gallery images as the highest quality jpg. The thing I don't like about that is that it may affect how visible that fine facial hair is (as if it is visible at all anyway - lol). My humor is usually too dry for anyone. As for watermarks; I'm only using them on Lilith 8.1, not anything else, and not in the DAZ Gallery. In fact, I'm in the process of putting those seven images through the US Copyright office as well. Why? Because I hope she'll become iconic, with her mix of Portuguese, Brazilian, and Middle-Eastern looks. I threw out the usual gothic Lilith bad girl thing-- although I did keep a subtle edge of danger somewhere in those eyes. We'll see where this goes. If the judges don't want her, then I'll take it as far as I can and then sell her through another company-- I guess. I don't know. The other choice is "Skin-Studies," TITTB," and me, "JEE," use her exclusively.
