Mod Team Announcement Mod Announcement About Criticism and People Being Sneaky (Bonus Comic)

34 Upvotes

Happy Saturday y'all! Moushi here with an announcement on some issues we've been noticing and would like to clarify on and offer some guidance. This announcement is going to be on criticizing the work of others and individuals trying to get around the no free commercial work rule! Fun stuff! Included is a little comic on our thoughts around free commercial work, we hope you enjoy!

Art criticism (Style/technique)

We've had a few instances lately where people have been criticizing the work of others when the artist has not asked for criticism. This includes people who are requesting work and are including their piece for reference and people who have completed requests. Others have come in and offered criticism of the pieces and we need to be clear; criticism, constructive or otherwise, is not the purpose of this subreddit. There are other art related subreddits where people are asking for criticism, but this is not one of those. The purpose of this subreddit is to offer and request art, whether for free or for compensation.

I understand that the intention of the person criticizing might be good, but, it's not welcome. From the artist's perspective, it's like cooking in your kitchen and having a stranger come in and tell you everything you've done wrong. You would probably feel blindsided and not take it well. You never know what state of mind the person on the other side of the screen is, just let it be and let people post what they like at their skill level. If they want criticism, they have the other subreddit's to go to.

If someone criticizes your art, please don't engage with them, so many times this turns into a huge argument that often times gets personal and both parties get dinged for uncivil behavior that may result in a cool down period (3-7 day ban), please instead just report them for uncivil behavior and us mods will come in and handle it.

Criticizing Character Design

Listen, one of my favorite subjects to draw are kimono, there are SO many people who draw kimono incorrectly, it's not my responsibility to go in and tell them how to draw them correctly, again, if they wanted to learn how to draw them, there are plenty of resources at their disposal including subreddits that are focused on critique. Please don't go on a person's post and tell them how inaccurate their drawing is, it's just rude and unnecessary.

On the flip side, if someone draws a character with a design that you personally find offensive for whatever reason, please don't go in and preach to them or tell them how it offends you/others, instead the best thing you can do is report it and let us mods handle it. You don't know why a character has the design that they do and when you reach out to them through the comments it just opens up a whole can of worms that again can lead to personal insults. Report, and we, the mods, will determine the best course of action on a case by case basis.

Basically, we want this to be a safe place where people can post their art without fear of unsolicited criticism. Some people don't take criticism well or are not in the best mindset for criticism in that moment and that's okay, if they want critique, there are other places to get it. Please keep criticism to yourself on this subreddit.

Alright, on to sneaky people!

It has come to our attention that some people are being sneaky in getting free commercial work. Whether that's by asking the artist after the request is complete if they can use their work in whatever capacity or by just going ahead and using it without informing the artist, this isn't allowed. Unfortunately there's not a whole lot we can do outside of the subreddit when this happens, we can ban the user so they don't take advantage of others in the future. If you find someone doing this, please take screenshots for proof and reach out to us through modmail so we can handle the situation. We are huge advocates for artists being paid fairly when their work is being used, you deserve compensation for your time and energy. Remember, free requests are just for fun, art that's going to be used should be paid for.

Here's the comic if anyone needs anymore clarification~

Paid Request Willing to PAY

4 Upvotes

I just want some art either super detailed or just doodles of my dogs doing human stuff specifically I want a picture of one of my dogs in a cowboy hat, then I have 3 others that I just want doing cute funny stuff. All different styles welcome these will be hung in my home and at work! So appropriate things only. Below i will post pictures of the dogs so you can see them.

I'm pretty broke but I'm willing to pay 50-100 maybe more depending on the quality for the art and it will be put on a canvas.

Also I dont expect anything extravagant. I just want something I can cherish even after they pass because they've been such big parts of my life and part of my mental health journey that I want to show my appreciation for them.

Please put HEAVY water marks on the art until paid for.

Free Request Anyone interested in drawing Sayaka in any of these outfits?

I wouldn't expect any request drawings to be as detailed as these outfits appear, simplifying them is completely fine (I do it myself when drawing). But as Sayaka grows as a character, I've started to work on her multiverse lore and these are some of the outfits from it going forward. I have posted Sayaka a few times before and people have seemed interested, so I figured I'd try again with her this week and see if anyone's interested!

Her name is Ashara Belmonte. She is in her early or mid 20s and was originally born somewhere between Syria and Lebanon. During her childhood years, she was trained to become an assassin for an organization her birth father had developed and joined until some kind of chaos forced her to flee with her mother while her birth father disappeared. She has bright green eyes and usually has long wavy chestnut brown hair. Her mother ended up migrating to France where she later remarried to a French lawyer, becoming a Belmonte. She normally has a large chest but she often uses a cloth to bind her chest to make it look flatter than it actually looks. Due to her childhood training, she is slightly muscular, often training in her spare time. Instead of being part of the organization as assassin like her birth father wanted her to become, she went to university to study law like her stepfather and became a co-owner of a flower shop and cafe that her mother had established that sells Middle Eastern based food and sweets. She has a few scars she doesn’t like talking about due to her past, the most noticeable being a small scar on her face near her left eye. Other scars are located near her shoulders and back due to her training or as punishment by her birth father.
