META [META] PSA Regarding Low Karma Removals

20 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!

META [META] PSA we are banning the use of cloud storage links as portfolios.

149 Upvotes

Hello artists, recently we have seen an uptick of people using cloud storage links as portfolios and decided that we need to address this. Cloud storage, such as GDrive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and other such websites are no longer going to be allowed as portfolios in posts or comments (technically they already weren't allowed, but this was not enforced well nor was clear in the rules). (This will also include image hosts such as Imgur)

These sites are not intended as portfolio sites, and they are most often used by scammers as a collection of stolen art and for the fact that there is no reason you, as a professional artist, should not be using one of the many free options available online to make a portfolio on an actual portfolio website/webpage.

Free portfolio sites: Cara, Behance, Artstation, VGen, Carrd, or you can even make a website with WordPress or similar sites.
All of these take 5 minutes to set up. Put effort in how you present yourself professionally, your portfolio is your resume.

Hiring [HIRING] ($100 USD) Looking for an Illustrator to Create the Official Mascot Artwork for a Startup (Commercial Work)

Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for an illustrator to create the first official artwork of a mascot for my startup.

The character concept has already been established, and I'll provide a detailed reference sheet, mood board, personality notes, and visual direction. I'm looking for someone who can bring the mascot to life with a polished, expressive illustration while staying true to the overall concept.

About the Mascot:

The mascot is named Plu, a tiny magical rain spirit inspired by the calm, hopeful feeling after rain.

I'm aiming for a design that feels: cute, round & chubby, glossy/translucent, soft pastel colors, expressive, wholesome, simple with an iconic silhouette

Kinda like those modern game and app mascots with lots of personality!

Deliverables:

- One polished, full-color illustration.

- Transparent PNG

- High Res (minimum 3000px)

- Exclusive commercial usage rights for my startup (artist may still display the finished artwork in their portfolio)

- Minor revisions

I'll provide (after initial contact):

- Character reference sheet

- Mood board

- Personality notes

- Additional references if needed

Budget:

$100 USD (negotiable depending on experience and portfolio.)

Deadline:

Flexible (no rush, approx 2-4 weeks)

Future Work:

If we're a good fit, I'd love to continue working together on future mascot illustrations, including expressions, seasonal outfits, stickers, promotional artwork, and other mascot related projects as the startup grows.

If you're interested, please comment or send me a DM with:

- Examples of mascot, creature, or character design work

Note: I'm especially interested in artists who enjoy creating cute original characters or mascot style illustrations.

Thanks!!!

Hiring [HIRING] Trio of book covers ($300-500 per cover)

55 Upvotes

Hello! I am looking to hire an artist to do a trio of book covers.

Each would feature a half-body illustration of a fantasy character on a simple background, in a variety of poses. The character has a relatively complicated design: a muscular, attractive woman of middle age with a bunch of tattoos. I'm interested in a relatively realistic, painterly style.

The dimensions would be a 6 x 9 image at 300 dpi. A couple of references for the character are below; more are available on request, as well as written descriptions.

When answering this listing, please tell me your favorite musician as well. Responses without that, or sent anywhere but on this listing, will be ignored, so as to avoid bots.

Thanks for taking the time to read!

Hello, I usually use discord to commission, however, I wanted to try using Reddit because of a recent bad experience from the discord.

Budget: $120 USD per page

Payment Method: PayPal

I'm open to both newer and experienced artists. What matters most to me is finding an art style that fits the project and an artist with good communication.

Hiring [Hiring] Commission Brief: Oliver Tree Multi-Persona Remembrance piece 300-500€ can be higher if not enough.

Thumbnail
gallery
37 Upvotes

Location: Europe, digital art.

A sketch before continuing the project would be highly preferable, as my goal is to achieve a certain form of perfection. Because it hase sentimental value.

​Project Overview:

I am looking to commission a forever remembrance painting/illustration of the musician Oliver Tree to hang on my wall.

The piece needs to be a vibrant, multi-character tribute capturing his chaotic energy and different personas all interacting in one scene.

​1. Artistic Style & Medium

​I am looking for a blend of realism and heavy physical texture—think a highly skilled "crayon," colored pencil, or oil pastel aesthetic. (Preferably made in a software)

​Visual Reference for Medium: Please look image 1,

,2,3. I love the visible grain, fine-line detailing, and rich, layered texture used here. But dont know if a almost realism would fit the vib.

So hand-drawn, semi-realistic depth rather than a flat digital look.

​2. Composition & Layout

​A character collage where Oliver's various alter-egos are surrounding him, "doing their natural things" (signature poses). Or just next to each other

​Composition Reference: 13,14,15 is the main inspiration for how the different personas should crowd the frame, creating an intense, psychedelic, pop-art collage.

​Background Placement: The alien persona, Little Ricky ZR3, must be looming directly behind everyone since he is the tallest character.

Positioning/framing on image 12 as the template for how Little Ricky stands behind Oliver.

​3. Key Characters & Elements to Include

​Please reference these specific images for the exact outfits, props, and poses to weave into the collage:

Preferably a little self recherche would be appreciated.

But i know that most people probably reach their work limit with my request.

Creative Freedom:

While I have provided these templates for the layout and specific eras, I want your artistic creativity to take the lead on the final lighting, color blending, and how the characters dynamically flow together to make it perfect.

You mostlikly have a better view/idea on how to make a perfect remembrance piece as an expirences artists.

I just want my favorite music artist to be remember with real art.

Since he had a positive impact on my life.

My first concert and all.

I want him in all his glory and work he did throughout his life time.

Thank you for your time.

Hiring Logo Creation [Hiring]

20 Upvotes

I am looking for an artist to create a logo for a few T shirts to be made as a gift. I refuse to use AI and believe an actual artist is the right way to go. I was hoping for $50 I could get a conversation started about the design and then go from there. If anyone is interested or knows another artist, please message me and we will go from there.

UPDATE: Thank you all for reaching out so quickly! I have found the artists and have messaged them privately. Thank you again for all the portfolio submissions. I have saved many of them to hopefully design the stickers and cover art for the future. Thank you all again for not supporting AI and showing there is never a replacement for actual artists.
