A subreddit for fans of role playing games or speculative evolution to request their creatures be drawn, and for artists who want to draw creatures or encounters from popular role playing games. This is purely pro bono work (aka it's unpaid!) so do not ask for payment.

The subreddit wiki is currently under construction. Please message the moderators if you have questions.

RULES

Follow Reddiquette. Don't be a jerk.

Subject to moderator discretion. Reddiquette

All posts must be of beasts/critters/creatures.

The creature(s) should be the focus of the image. If the creature is a playable race, please take it to r/characterdrawing. Subject to mod interpretation.

All post titles must start with the correct tag.

[LFA] for requests.

[RF] for art in response to a request.

[OC] for artist's original content.

[META] for posts that do not fit the other tags. Note all [META] posts are subject to moderator approval before posting.

All posts must be flaired properly.

Posts will automatically flair. You do not need to select a flair when making a post. "Request" for [LFA]s. "Request Fulfilled" for [RF]s. "Original Content" for [OC]. "META" for [META].

No begging for free art.

Do not PM/comment on a post to ask artists to draw your request for you. Make an [LFA].

No soliciting for payment.

Requests are unpaid. Do not ask the requester for payment. If you want to look for paying posts, go to a sub like r/hireanartist, r/commissions, or r/hungryartists.

Commission advertisement is limited to comments and the user flair.

If you are looking to advertise commissions, please use the "I take commissions" user flair.

Mentioning commissions are open/available in a comment on an [RF] or [OC] post is allowed. Advertisements in titles will result in removal of the post.

Thank your artist(s).

If an artist fulfills your request, thank them properly for taking the time to do so. Just saying "thanks" or "looks good" or "ty" is not considered proper.
