#POSTING RULES Read before posting!

1) All posts must have the appropriate title tag

[LFA] stands for Looking For Artist - use this if you want an artist to draw your character for free
[RF] stands for Request Filled - this is for artwork that comes from an [LFA] post made in r/characterdrawing
[META] is for discussions relating to the subreddit; use sparingly

2) No graphic or sexualized content

Depictions of explicit themes such as gore or sexual acts are not allowed
Artistic nudity is allowed but must be labeled NSFW after the post is made
Moderators have the final word on what is allowable based on their interpretations

3) No unrequested solicitation for payment

Do not ask for money in [LFA]s
Do not ask for money for additional services (e.g. to color in an [RF])
Do not post rates or price sheets anywhere
Direct messaging other users to circumvent this rule will result in a ban if reported
Artists may link to their portfolios and social media on their [RF] posts

4) No blatant advertising

Titles must focus on the character(s) within the artwork and contain no advertising
Do not advertise products or services (e.g. Etsy store products, YCH)
You may provide links to your personal websites that mention commissions in your [RF] posts
You may respond to people asking if you do commissions, but direct them to DMs for further discussion
Moderators have the final word on what is allowable based on their interpretations

5) No unrequested or unproductive critique

Do not critique an artwork unless the original poster specifically asks for it
Critique must be constructive (i.e., be helpful and not a jerk)
All members are expected to be civil and treat each other with respect.

6) No DALL-E, Midjourney, Hero Forge, Artbreeder, or similar [OC] submissions

AI or Hero Forge screenshots (or from similar image-generation services like Artbreeder and DALL-E) are not allowed as [RF] submissions
Generated screenshots are just fine in [LFA]s or [COM]s to supplement character descriptions

7) [LFA]s are limited to one post per seven days per character concept or set of characters

Multiple [LFA]s per seven days for different characters or groups of characters are allowed

8) Create a link or tag the original poster if you submit an [RF]

Posts that do not link to or from the original [LFA] post or tag its original requestor will be removed
Do not subvert the [LFA] - [RF] system by making a fraudulent [RF] post

9) No OC. All image posts must be a request [LFA] or fulfill a request [RF]

Posts of non-requested characters are not allowed.

Feel free to include your other work, gallery/price sheet links, and social media links in the comments of your other posts.
An image compilation of your other work and the services you offer WITHOUT PRICES may be posted as the last image in a gallery post, if you wish. This is to ensure the focus stays on the art, and discourage low-effort posts for advertising purposes.
