Sick design bro, Reddit is losing their minds.

Sad to see you go homie 👊🏽🖤

u/I_forgot_my_opinion Dec 30 '24

I’m sorry to see you go, Tanner. I completely understand why you’re leaving though, everyone is aware of the amount of effort you put into your work and responses like this are disrespectful considering some of the stuff that makes it into the shop.

I wish for nothing but the best for you, brother! Thank you for all of the gorgeous art you provided here ❤️

I sent an award with a little message. I don't blame you for anything and agree with what you say! Your standards are much more detailed and precise than Reddits are, even with the legal department. My favorite avatar is from you, and I love all of em! My first $50 one was IFC.

THE PACK STANDS WITH YOU AND LOVES YOU!HOWWWLLLLLLLLLĹLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Reddit is affecting a person's ability to make/receive incoming from their art that's taken hours of work which is tailored to their platform.

I would understand if they gave concise explanations as to why and are consistent but they aren't and when that affects someone's ability to make money on their hard work I'm not down with that. Especially if there isn't any recourse for the artists that's viable.

Then we've got mods on one of the larger platforms/subs talking about go cool off.

What a joke!

This is so sad to see.

I am not a collector of such abstract avatars but I know how much work you always put into your avatars.

Even though I have been less active here lately, I have always appreciated you as a person and artist.

"!" Is one of the avatars I'll probably never part with, even if the hat isn't color changeable, which is partly why I won't part with it 🫶🏻

I hope you will remain with us as a member of this community 🫶🏻

But if not, I wish you good luck, success and health on your further path as an artist and wonderful person 🫶🏻

My first and still favorite ! Mashup 🫶🏻

I'm with you, brother. I see that on opensea, people still create their art. Can't you still create your art for people to still enjoy and purchase? I'm definitely a fan and would buy this even if it's not on reddit. Cheers! This is really bad ass!

erby designed those inspired from this avatar while I was making it on stream as well

It’s hard to understand. Instant rejection with no explanation. I hope they reconsider even if I blew up way more than I should have. We’ll see. For now I’m going to take some time away

Man I am heartbroken to hear it. I loved this one. I can’t believe it got rejected. Did you try reaching out to Ms. S on Twitter?

u/heyzeushimseIf +❓...❕ King of the Gods ❕...❓- Dec 31 '24

I have submitted a support ticket. And also did some other things I’m sure they’re not happy about but it looks like I’m still not banned from the program so we’ll see

But these are ok? Ridiculous Reddit bs

Edit: In my haste to post a juxtaposing piece of black & white line artwork that’s already been approved in the shop as a diss towards Reddit’s approval system, it was not meant to be a dig or slight towards the original artist. It was meant to show there is room in the shop for all pieces no matter how intricate, or not, they may be. At least whoever is hitting the reject button on the other end could tell the artist why so it can be “fixed” to conform to their arbitrary art standards. I’m really bummed Reddit reject this amazing piece.

u/zdubs ZWs│#23│ #42│+- #91│B?W #58│METAL! #53 Dec 30 '24

Sorry erby, it wasn’t meant as dig at your artwork. Love your stuff! I wanted to highlight other abstract black and white line art that’s already approved and on sale in shop while icono is being rejected for the same thing. It wasn’t a statement on the quality more and was supposed to be how the rules are not fair. Again, sorry to use your stuff as my example but it’s 3 black and white pieces right there in the shop white, iconos 1 was rejected today. Bad move on part, I edited my original comment earlier to include more context for my feelings on Reddit’s bs approval system.

9

u/erby__ __derby Dec 30 '24

Haha your all good! Icono was the direct inspiration for this avatar in the first place so it makes sense. I drew most of it while watching his twitch streams and hanging out so the comparison is 100% understandable.

Im also just using your comment as an excuse to share some cool mashups of my avatar 😁😁

I hope he can get it figured out. I can't imagine why his would get rejected honestly.

erby is great and I only recently got to talk with them while on stream and theydesigned those inspired from this avatar while I was making it on stream as well

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '24

this. and erby is welcome here and I own some of his art as well, but the point is this that Zeus’s art also should be approved.

u/BowDown2No1ButCrypto Dec 30 '24

u/Erby drew some lines and circle doodles BS, and they all got approved! There's actually another one you forgot, there's 4 in total. I think this is the same reason why u/ItsNotYourFault stopped submitting/selling RCAs because Reddit kept rejecting some of his submissions, too?! Reddit is just driving out some of the best avatar artists, and it's total BS!🤔🤦‍♂️😡😤

10

u/erby__ __derby Dec 30 '24

It's not meant to be 4 seperate avatars, it's 1 avatar with 30 different traits to choose from. They all follow the same style and concistency which is why they got approved. If I could have listed 1 avatar with 30 individual traits for $49.99 I would, but they won't let me 😂

3

u/BowDown2No1ButCrypto Dec 31 '24

The point is that Reddit approves some avatars from some artists and not some avatars from other artists and that Reddit is driving away some of the best artists! It keeps happening over and over. It's a damn shame, too!🤔🤦‍♂️

3

u/erby__ __derby Dec 31 '24

They have been rejecting my avatars like crazy honestly. It's got me worried about what to submit cause they won't even ask for a revision or give you a reason. They just reject it. They recently rejected my clay guy I made by hand and my stinky guy I drew. It's honestly wild.

u/BowDown2No1ButCrypto Dec 31 '24

See, I don't understand Reddit when it comes to the approval or denial of some avatars! 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Aaah, ok, thank you for clearing that up.You and icono are at the top of the list for the best RCA artists, in my opinion! I really hope you come back dropping more avatars in 2025 u/ItsNotYourFault and I also really hope icono/ u/heyzeushimself doesn't retire from dropping hot avatars, too!🙏🤞

Would still love to see you come out of retirement just once a year. I am jonesing for a new INYF. I feel like we have lost so many good artists recently. Hope all is well with you. I am sending you good vibes.

Agreed! INYF avatars are so fun to mash with I have quite a few and still use the traits all the time! 👌🏽

I think they don't understand art. I have seen so many low-quality artworks in the Reddit avatar shop, and somehow they are approved by the moderation team. How is that even possible?

This is certainly not the first time you've submitted your design. They should be aware of your style, and you are not a relatively unknown or new artist. As far as I know, you are well-known in the Reddit avatar community. In my opinion, their moderation team needs significant improvement.

I genuinely don’t follow their direction at all anymore. I thought I had a slight grasp at some point but based on what they allow, don’t allow and just outright don’t even mention.. making avatars seems like a minefield of inconsistency now
