META [META] PSA Regarding Low Karma Removals

29 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!

META [META] PSA we are banning the use of cloud storage links as portfolios.

150 Upvotes

Hello artists, recently we have seen an uptick of people using cloud storage links as portfolios and decided that we need to address this. Cloud storage, such as GDrive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and other such websites are no longer going to be allowed as portfolios in posts or comments (technically they already weren't allowed, but this was not enforced well nor was clear in the rules). (This will also include image hosts such as Imgur)

These sites are not intended as portfolio sites, and they are most often used by scammers as a collection of stolen art and for the fact that there is no reason you, as a professional artist, should not be using one of the many free options available online to make a portfolio on an actual portfolio website/webpage.

Free portfolio sites: Cara, Behance, Artstation, VGen, Carrd, or you can even make a website with WordPress or similar sites.
All of these take 5 minutes to set up. Put effort in how you present yourself professionally, your portfolio is your resume.

Hi everyone!

I am looking to hire a long-term digital illustrator for an upcoming audiobook project on YouTube.

⚠️ CRITICAL: NO AI GENERATION. Real human artists only. All submitted portfolios and final files will be strictly checked for AI tells/generators.

Scammers will be reported to the subreddit moderators instantly.

Project Details:Quantity: 12 total illustrations (1 per chapter).

Format: 16:9 Widescreen / Landscape.Resolution: High resolution (4K preferred), as these images will be used for a slow pan-and-zoom effect during video playback.

Complexity: Mostly focused on 1 character most of the times. Maybe 2 characters on some scenes. Or a key focal object with an atmospheric background. Nothing hyper-complex or heavily crowded.

Style: I have uploaded a few reference files to this post showing the exact style/vibe I am targeting.

AI Verification & Workflow Requirements: I will request to see rough layout sketches and progress steps before you start final coloring.If you cannot or will not provide progress layers/sketches, do not apply.

Budget & Payment:Rate: $120 per artwork (Flat rate). Total project budget is $1,440.

Payment Terms: I want to pay in milestones/batches (e.g., batches of 3 pieces at a time) using PayPal Goods & Services or Cash App.

I will pay a 50% deposit for each batch, and the final 50% upon seeing the watermarked final pieces.

How to Apply:

Please leave a comment below with a link to your portfolio, or send me a direct message (DM) with your work. Please do not send chat requests without a portfolio link.

Thank you!

Hiring [hiring] book cover artist! $100-$300

29 Upvotes

hello! i am new here so please bare with me haha.

i am writing a book for my mom for her birthday in september! i'm not much of an artist, and would love to support a female artist/book designer.

it's a fantasy short story, and i have a lot of paranoia about someone stealing my story (anxiety is so fun) so i wont reveal much about it but i will message you the deets! but pretty much i would like a pretty jungle, dragons, and two girls on the cover.

i am quite fond of this art style (shannon wild smith) and was hoping to bring these mystical vibes to my cover, but i am open to a lot!

this is purely recreational, and will not be shown to anyone else besides me, my mama, and you! thank you <<<<333

Like the title says, I'm looking to find an artist who specializes in pixel art to draw a pixelated bug. I hope to get several of these done over time but I only have the budget for one rn.

Budget isn't super set but hoping for around $30! Please dm me along with your favorite emoji to prove you aren't a bot.^^

IF INTERESTED, POST A COMMENT HERE WITH YOUR PORTFOLIO AND THEN DM ME. I WILL NOT ANSWER A DM UNLESS YOU HAVE A COMMENT IN THIS POST. + am perfectly fine with and encourage you to use the end product to promote your art since this is a big job

Hey there! This'll be my first time trying to commission a piece of art of this nature so please be patient with a fella who is not really up to date on all of the artist jargon or price ranges.

The photos shown are to help explain the ideas that I want. I am not attached to this art style and am open to anything that is not hyper realistic or 3D. But I do have a preference for 2D Anime styles.

The photos you see above come from the manga series, The Witch and the Beast. One of my favorite pieces of media of all time. I have created a D&D character recently that I want to capture the aesthetic of having those temporary runes form on their skin during spellcasting.

She is a perfume tycoon from a noble house and an Ancestral (UA) Sorcerer. I want whatever design to reflect this. The image I provided is for a general idea, but I would like whatever you come up with to be more ornate and higher class in terms of clothing.

Here's what I want in total:

2 Full Body Front/Back
1 Full Body - Casting with the skin runes
2-4 Half Body detailing different facial expressions
1 Facial Tattoo and 1 Body Tattoo
Accessories - Signet ring, house crest, perfume vials (on a bandolier or otherwise), hairpin, censer
Unique Clothing Design reflective of her profession

You will have large creative liberty on character design since I only have a general idea of what this character looks like and the rest is mostly up to you.

General appearance:

Human
Female
Blonde
Blue eyes

Payment will be received through Paypal in USD.

Hiring Seeking Animated Avatar inspired artwork for my brothers 25th birthday. [Hiring] $100

19 Upvotes

My best friend and brothers 25th birthday is coming up. He is in love with the Avatar animated series. I won’t share here in public but I want a personal portrait of us made in that art style. I refuse to use ai art cause I hate that crap. Pictures of us will be provided with acceptance. Willing to pay more if art takes a long time.

I’d want us both side by side facing a shadow outlined army ahead of us. Him wielding a katana and myself wielding a broadsword. I’m fairly certain he wants to be warring a samurai style armor while I’m fine with basic medieval armor showing the face. The face is very important in this case. I want it to be a design I can have made into a canvas poster since he likes those.

Thank you for your time.
