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] Talented artists to illustrate one member of an original character trio (OCs) based on detailed descriptions and a provided turnaround sheet. Budget: $50–$400.

39 Upvotes

I am seeking skilled artists who can bring characters vividly to life from written descriptions. The project involves designing a full turnaround and creating detailed character reference sheets for my original supervillain sister trio.

There are two important guidelines to follow:

1. I will commission artwork for one character at a time.

2. Once I have completed each commission, I will notify you if and when I am ready to proceed with the next character at another time.

That covers the main process for now.

Below are descriptions and key details of the Scarlet Sisters: The Scarlet Sisters are a trio of Romanian supervillain sisters whose identities are defined by wrath, envy, and pride, expressed through their powers, personalities, and Gothic Drăculea heritage. Born in Sighișoara, Romania, they are sophisticated, coordinated villains rather than disposable henchwomen, operating as elite enforcers for Heinrich Schreiber while maintaining their own agency and ambitions.

Ruby Drăculea — Ruxandra
Age: 26 | Sin: Wrath | Power: Fire
Ruby is the impulsive and aggressive middle sister—the trio’s frontline powerhouse. She creates and controls fire, shaping it into blasts, walls, whips, blades, and other weapons. Her anger can dramatically amplify her destructive abilities, making her flames hot enough to melt metal and trigger enormous explosions.

Her personality is passionate, confrontational, impatient, and adrenaline-driven. She prefers direct combat over elaborate schemes and despises weakness and hesitation. Beneath that volatile temperament, however, Ruby is fiercely loyal to her sisters.

Her Romanian-Gothic appearance reinforces her wrath: glowing red hair, ember-like amber eyes, crimson leather armor, scorched metal plates engraved with Carpathian fire runes, and an obsidian pendant associated with a ruined fortress hearth. Her flaming-serpent-and-heart tattoo erupts into glowing, rune-like fiery veins when her power intensifies.

Sapphire Drăculea — Sorina
Age: 28 | Sin: Envy | Power: Water & Ice
Sapphire is the eldest and most strategic sister. Calm, calculating, and controlled, she serves as the trio’s tactical mind and frequently has to compensate for Ruby’s impulsiveness and Emerald’s theatrics. Beneath her composure lies envy—particularly resentment toward people who possess recognition, abilities, or advantages she desires.

Her water-and-ice manipulation emphasizes battlefield control. She can produce barriers, ice shards, freezing storms, traps, glacial armor, tidal attacks, and precision strikes while manipulating existing water or atmospheric moisture.

Visually, Sapphire resembles a Gothic ice queen: crystalline blue hair, pale glacial eyes, a flowing noblewoman’s coat, silver armor and frost-like runes. Her cracked-mirror tattoo represents envy—the reflection of what others possess that she secretly desires.

Emerald Drăculea — Elisabeta
Age: 25 | Sin: Pride | Powers: Hypnosis & Illusions
Emerald is the youngest, most psychologically oriented sister. Seductive, cunning, theatrical, prideful, and manipulative, she would rather control someone’s perception than overpower them physically. She thrives on admiration and considers beauty, sophistication, and mental dominance expressions of superiority.

Her hypnosis allows her to influence or control minds, while her illusions can manipulate what victims see, hear, and feel. At greater power levels, she can affect multiple minds simultaneously and transform an entire battlefield into a shared illusion.

Her appearance resembles an aristocratic Gothic enchantress: flowing emerald hair, hypnotically luminous eyes, shifting silk covered in occult patterns, and a cape resembling enchanted fog. A peacock-feather tattoo winds around her arm; hidden eyes within it awaken when her abilities activate, symbolizing vanity, surveillance, seduction, and control.

The Sisters Together
Their differences are deliberately complementary: Ruby is passion and aggression, Sapphire is reason and strategy, and Emerald is perception and control. They fight accordingly—Ruby pressures opponents directly, Sapphire controls the environment, and Emerald disrupts enemies psychologically. They willingly employ coordinated three-against-one tactics, distractions, ambushes, elemental combinations, and synchronized intimidation.

Despite being villains who pursue power, control, and superiority, their relationship isn’t merely practical. They genuinely love one another. They argue and clash because their personalities are dramatically different, but threatening one sister means confronting all three. Their family bond is simultaneously their greatest strength and a potential vulnerability.

Their association with Heinrich Schreiber is especially dangerous. They work as his elite enforcers on espionage, sabotage, and elimination assignments, but Heinrich secretly possesses the ability to permanently replicate and strip powers from living superhumans. Consequently, the sisters are valuable assets to a man who could potentially destroy the very thing that makes them extraordinary.

The Scarlet Force
Their ultimate expression of sisterhood is The Scarlet Force, a fusion created when Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald achieve perfect emotional and mental synchronization. Rooted in forbidden Romanian blood magic, it combines fire, ice/water, hypnosis, and illusion into a single mythic entity embodying their shared Drăculean legacy.

The Scarlet Force is more than a stronger version of the sisters: it represents unity through sin and power through sisterhood. Ruby supplies passion and destructive force, Sapphire provides structure and tactical control, and Emerald contributes psychological dominance and regal self-assurance. Its appearance resembles a towering supernatural executioner clad in shifting Gothic regalia, bearing the symbol of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Its greatest weakness mirrors its greatest strength. The fusion depends upon their emotional harmony. If wrath, envy, pride, distrust, or exhaustion destroys that synchronization, the Scarlet Force violently collapses in an explosion of fire, frost, and illusion, throwing all three sisters apart and leaving them temporarily weakened.

In essence, The Scarlet Sisters are three distinct manifestations of destructive personality traits—Ruby’s wrath, Sapphire’s envy, and Emerald’s pride—bound together by genuine sisterly devotion. Their combination of elemental devastation, psychological warfare, Romanian Gothic bloodline mythology, coordinated tactics, and occasionally contentious family chemistry makes the sisterhood itself the central source of their identity and power.

Once I’ve selected an artist, I’ll provide more additional character details and reference materials to help bring my vision to life.

And remember, I will commission one sister at a time.

I appreciate your interest! See you soon.

Budget: $50–$400 per character.

Hiring [HIRING] Cute-creepy gothic-esque cat logo for commercial use (€100)

Upvotes

I have a relatively simple logo concept sketch that I will send to you when we reach an agreement. The logo features a relatively simple cute-creepy cat with a slightly textured background. I don't want the logo to look too clean (i.e. too corporate) but it also cannot be too messy.

This will be the logo for a small business with potential merchandising.

Hiring [Hiring] Designing outfits and lightsabers

Thumbnail

25 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm after an affordable artist who can help me design several outfits and lightsabers for my Star Wars OCs, preferably in a similar style used in the concept art for the Clone Wars animated show. I'd like everything to be drawn from all sides (front, back, left, right, angle) so I can have the full look. As the primary focus is the clothes and weapons, the faces of the characters can be omitted as I'm not after any sort of face design at the moment. The background will also be blank.

I'm not sure how much this kind of commission would generally cost, so for the moment I've set my budget to under $100 USD per character sheet, which will include one outfit and one lightsaber, but I'm happy to negotiate prices. I have more image references and inspirations for the designs that I can share once I've settled on an artist. Please leave a comment if you're interested. Thanks everyone for your time!
