Meta [META] Huge Announcement. Subreddit Overhaul and New Mods! Please Read

32 Upvotes

Hello! It’s us, your friendly neighbourhood mods here with a HUGE announcement. This is the biggest announcement we have had in a long time so be sure to read the whole post (or just the TLDR at the end if you’re in a rush, it’s ok, we understand, we certainly will not cry in the corner if you don’t read the whole thing) as we have a lot of stuff to go over!

New Rules and Sidebar

“New Rules” might be a bit of a misnomer, they are mostly the same but we reformatted them to make things clearer and to clarify some things that we frequently get asked about/see being an issue on posts and comments. We also redid the sidebar as it had a lot of conflicts and redundant information that the rules already included.

We do want to clarify again though that many of the rules that are being redone/clarified are rules we have had for years. Recently, we added a new mod to the Subreddit, u/RS_Someone, and he has been a massive help in fixing and upgrading the automod and other automation in the Subreddit, which is why many of you may have noticed your recent posts or comments being removed more often for things like low karma. We have had our karma requirements in place for a long time but because the bot was broken, this rule was rarely, if ever, enforced.

We heavily urge you to read the rules and the removal messages that we and the bot put on your posts and comments. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse for breaking them!

New Flair System

Now when you are making a post, at the top nav bar you should be able to select a flair just like in other Subreddits. Please be sure to flair your posts appropriately or they will be removed (Unfortunately, there is still no way to edit titles Shakes fist at Reddit and their mods)!

New Comment Requirements

When you are commenting on a [Hiring] post, you MUST either have a portfolio link OR, if you aren’t applying but just making a comment, put [Not For Hire] in your comment. If you are found to be abusing the Not For Hire tag to advertise yourself, we will take action.

New Mods

We have 2 mods that have joined our ranks recently! The first is u/RS_Someone, who has been here for a few months and has given us some major help with our automod bot, modmail, and the modqueue. The second is a much more recent addition, u/muted_shrimp, they just joined our ranks the other day and are an active community member who has made many great contributions to the Subreddit in various posts. Please give them a warm welcome!

If you have been a community member for a long time and wish to help us out and become a moderator as well, please let us know by sending us a message in Modmail or by opening a ticket in our Discord server! Any help is greatly appreciated, even if it’s just reporting posts as a regular user!

Automation

This was mentioned earlier in the post but we have increased our automation a ton over the past few months.What this means:

  1. More posts and comments being flagged and/or removed for breaking the rules with way reduced false positives.
  2. Less spam plaguing the Subreddit as a whole.
  3. Issues are brought to our attention much quicker and at a much better rate.
  4. Less reliance on user reports but please report rule breaking posts or message modmail if you see a rule breaking post that has not been removed yet! Please do not confront scammers/alleged AI users, just report their post and move on, if you confront them it lets them know where they messed up, which means they change tactics and get smarter, making them harder for us to catch! On the other hand, accusing an artist of using AI can be devastating for the artist if you publicly accuse them and are incorrect, please just report them and move on and we will investigate and deal with it!

We do want to reassure you that, although we have heavily increased the automation used on the Subreddit, this does not mean there are no humans looking at Modmail or the Modqueue, or scrolling through the posts in the Subreddit. Most things flagged by our automod are sent to the modqueue as a report rather than being outright removed and many things that are removed are still sent to the modqueue so we can review in case there are any false positives. You can rest assured that there is still a human (or 4!) reviewing your posts, comments, and modmail messages!

Moreover, we are always open to feedback, suggestions, and help. Please feel free to comment on this post or message Modmail with any questions, concerns, ideas, etc that you may have about the automation and anything else mentioned within this post.

Wrapup and TLDR

That’s all for now! Thank you all so much for being here and making this a great community for artists. If you wish to further discuss with your fellow artists, we have a Discord server (that’s actually been around for a long time!) that you can join by following this permanent link: https://discord.gg/4zhjr8D2QA

TLDR:

  • We clarified and reformatted a bunch of the rules and the sidebar.
  • We added flairs to the top nav just like other subs have.
  • Comments on [Hiring] posts MUST have a portfolio link or [Not For Hire] (do not abuse this)
  • We got some new mods! u/RS_Someone and u/muted_shrimp! Please give them a warm welcome in the comments!
  • We added a ton of automation to help us moderate the Subreddit. Posts, comments, and Modmail are still reviewed by us so don’t worry. Please feel free to leave feedback in the comments or in Modmail.

META [META] PSA Regarding Low Karma Removals

32 Upvotes

Hello artists! Your friendly neighbourhood Miner Moderator Dwarfinator here with some info about the recent low Karma removals as we have been getting a lot of messages about this in Mod Mail.

We have had our Karma rules for a long time, I'm talking literally years, however, at some point our bot broke (and also just may have not been properly programmed in the first place) and as such, it stopped looking for/removing posts and comments from lower Karma users. The intention of the rule and the bot automation was to lessen the amount of bots and spam in the Subreddit, which is why we started counting both types of Karma. This also encourages artists to not just spam their art in every art Subreddit and actually engage with other communities. We just recently fixed and improved the bot (huge shoutout to u/RS_Someone) which is why lower Karma posts are being removed once again. This may seem like it came out of nowhere, but again, we have had this rule in place for a long time and used to have the bot doing this previously.

If you have received that low Karma removal reply on your post/comment by the bot, PLEASE WE BEG YOU TO READ IT IN FULL it explains very clearly why your post was removed and how to check your Karma, both post and comment Karma.

If you have low Karma and want to get more to post here, here are some things you can do to raise your Karma:

  • Post your art in other Subreddits.
  • Post and comment, and genuinely engage in other Subreddits. You like Critical Role or Pokémon or Minecraft? Post in those Subreddits, get involved in the community, you might make some new friends, and you get the added bonus of your account not looking like a bot spammer or someone who just pumps and dumps their art everywhere they can.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to comment on this post or send us a message via Mod Mail! Happy Arting!

Hiring [Hiring] Looking for an artist for black and white art. Budget Around $150 per Piece

Post image
31 Upvotes

I'm looking for a fantasy artist to design some shadowdark-esque art for a small gamebook. It will be around 40 pieces, but most look something like this (this is the format we are looking for):

The artist must be really familiar with forest locations and all the monsters that lie within (as there will be a few forest scenes to illustrate).

You can see all the many types of art style we are interested in in the attached image, but generally fairly strong lines and simple shading.

Just post your portfolio below. This should be a really easy project for an artist.

Good luck :)

LF longterm manga artist (PAID)

Hello, I am rompopecup. I've been conceptualizing my manga since the beginning of this year, and I've recently discovered exactly what kind of story I want to create. I have finished my first chapters narrative and am working on the script daily. I am looking specifically for manga artists who would like to work on a long term project. It is paid as well as paid fairly as I am not going to lowball my artist and am open to negotiating. I am writing a shonen style manga similar to titles like: Radiant, JJK, Undead Unluck, My Hero, Black Clover and more. Because of this, I reauire the artist to be able to draw in this "style" obviously not to that legendary degree but aesthetically that is what I am looking for (See Radiant's or Undead Unluck's art for a really good example). Preferably, I would like to find someone who enjoys the story I wrote so we could both learn and grow together, but I understand that is very rare and do not expect it. I am 22 and American if that helps. American comic artists (superhero stuff) are welcome but I really don't think I'll be working with one.

I have attached mangas with art styles i really like to show you what Im going for! Please feel encouraged to reply if your artstyle is similar or if you can create one! I really need someone familiar with manga NOT american comics. Please be good with dynamic action scenes as therr will be a lot of fighting.

Similar to JJK and Undead Unluck its a shonen manga set in urban times with an intricate power system.

Feel free to drop your portfolios here or dm them to me on any platform.

For more details on this agreement, and the story, contact me here or on discord:rompopecup

Thank you.

One more thing, i do not support any use of AI. Do not show me AI art, and do not reply to me with AI generated responses. I will not answer.

Hiring [Hiring] Looking for someone to draw cute matching Discord PFPs of me and a girl

[Hiring] Looking for someone to draw cute matching Discord PFPs of me and a girl
Hey! I’m looking to commission someone to draw two matching Discord profile pictures of me and a girl I’m close with :)
I’m thinking something cute, wholesome, and lovey-dovey, probably a cartoon/chibi/anime-inspired style. I was thinking we’d be leaning on each other or something along those lines, but I’m totally open to whatever pose you think would look cute!
One thing that’s important to me is that I want the two PFPs to feel really connected — like they’re two parts of the same picture and would noticeably line up/merge together when the two profiles are next to each other, rather than just being two similar-looking pictures.
Ideally:
Two separate matching square PFPs
Cute/wholesome vibe
Cartoon/chibi/anime-inspired
Based on what we actually look like
Nothing sexual or NSFW
Doesn’t need to be super detailed
The two images should visually connect/line up with each other
My budget is around $30–60 total, depending on the style and amount of detail.
I can send pictures of both of us as references privately. I’d love to see examples of your art, especially if you’ve done couples, matching icons, or character/profile pictures before!
Feel free to comment if you’re interested! I’d be happy to look through your work and talk about what I’m looking for.

Hiring [HIRING] Box cover + 4 character for a dark-fantasy board game $800 - $1,200

72 Upvotes

Hi,

I have designed a 1–4 player co-operative dark-fantasy deckbuilding campaign. 25 quests, all written, rules finished, and there's a free playable demo online already. The one thing it doesn't have is a face.

---

THE JOB — TWO PARTS

  1. ONE PAINTED BOX COVER

The concept: a country that darkness has covered but not finished. Most of the image is deep, absolute royal purple. Scattered through it are pools of warm light — small scenes still happening inside the dark.

Foreground, dominant: four travellers on a high ridge, seen from behind, lit by a single raised lantern / light source. They're tired, geared for a long walk, no weapons drawn. They're looking out at the country below. This lantern is the brightest point in the image and the anchor of the whole composition.

Middle and far distance: the land falls away into darkness. Within it, five or six smaller pools of light, each a readable little scene, each smaller and cooler than the last — a village burning far off · a single lit window in a ruined tower · a merchant's cart alone on an empty road · a small campfire with figures round it · one cold silver light along a distant wall.

The dark between them is not fog or mist. It's absence — flat, matte, no detail rendered in it.

Mood: endurance, not action. A party at the start of a very long walk through a country that is going out.

Composition: lantern in the lower third as the focal point; the distant lights lead the eye up and back. Leave the top quarter darker and quieter for the title.

Critical: at 300 pixels wide a viewer must still see figures with a light, and a dark land with other lights in it. If the small vignettes turn to noise at that size, make them fewer and larger. One dominant light, everything else subordinate.

  1. FOUR CHARACTER BUSTS — in a different style, deliberately

The cards in this game use a woodcut / engraving style — bold ink line, no painting. I'd like the four heroes to match that, not the cover.

Chest-up, three-quarter view, plain ground. A human knight, an elven ranger, a human mage, a troll shaman. Weathered, tired, mid-forties rather than heroic twenties. *

---

PALETTE

#241934 deep violet · #3D2A5C royal purple · #C9A64E muted gold

Style notes: painterly, oil-on-panel feel for the cover. No glow effects, no rim lighting, no rendered-3D look.

---

BUDGET, TERMS, TIMELINE

$800–$1,400 USD for the cover and four heroes together — tell me your split. Cover alone is fine too if heroes aren't your thing; say so.

Includes **full commercial rights** (print, digital, marketing, merchandise).

2–6 weeks. Not urgent — I'd rather it be right than fast.

You'll get: a full written brief, the exact hex palette, composition notes, and the rulebook if you want the world. Then I get out of your way.

---

MORE WORK AFTER THIS

The game needs around 39 creature illustrations. I can't fund those yet — they're a large part of what the crowdfunding campaign is for.

TO APPLY: portfolio link and your rate for this scope. If you've done tabletop, book covers or any similar work, mention it. I reply to everyone.

The game itself and direction of the art we are looking for can be found at https://demo-game.rylio.com and https://rylio.com

Thanks,
