Sometimes cool dudes want to draw fanart for other cool dudes but aren't sure what's okay or not! If you're a quest author then post in this thread with your fanart preferences, and I'll throw them into this spreadsheet:

Vanilla porn confuses me
I'm guessing it includes Anal, Doggy Style, etc.and maybe some forms of BDSM
Basically a catagory on pornhub?
If Vanilla Porn is the limit, should an artist detail the extent of what vanilla porn is? Some artists might really dislike anal (for some reason, hey, free country to think anal isn't vanilla I guess, it's not like shitdick is likely with fictional characters) or light bdsm. Or go up to HEAVY BDSM but stop at nonconsent? Wait, what about roleplay nonconsent?

Porn is fucking inception, man. Roleplaying fucking adds LAYERS to vanilla. You could roleplay anal with a vagina for crist's sake. It's been done.

What do you mean 'going against the spreadsheet'? Asking to not be on the spreadsheet? Wanting to spreadsheet to be deleted?

>>85925
Yes, the categories are somewhat fuzzy (and trying to make them specific would be futile). If there's a specific caveat or two then that's what the exception/general note column is for, and if the artist is iffy about a category, that's what the 'ask first' color code is for.

Oh, no, at least, it hasn't been discussed, but I don't think it will be. It's just a courtesy document for those possible fan-artists that don't know what an artist is accepting of.

>I've also heard differing opinions on what constitutes "tasteful nudity" and what constitutes "clean"
Yes, basically every category is going to have grey area; again a job for the 'ask first' color.

Well, true... but I’ve been doing quests for over two years now and only gotten three pieces of fan art which feels a bit… of course, I shouldn’t really complain. While I would love getting more fan art I guess I should be grateful people actually read my quests at all instead. Either way, doing pixel quests apparently doesn’t attract people with artistic talent, I guess? …and now I’m derailing this thread completely! Yes, any art made of any off my quest are fine no matter what, there, done...

Less detail on the characters means fanart is harder and the person doing the fanart has more interpretation to do. There's also a somewhat common trend on TGChan for people to get mad when fanart of characters is not totally accurate to the character. Fanart also just happens less now than it did in the past, and there's no guaranteed secret way to get more fanart. From what I've seen the most effective thing to do would be to draw more fanart yourself, because sometimes people will be "oh dang this person drew fanart for me I should draw fanart for their cool quest too."
>>

>Less detail on the characters means fanart is harder and the person doing the fanart has more interpretation to do.
The curse of making pixel quest, I guess… of course, the alternative is stop being a lazy bum and learn how to draw, but that’s not happening.
>There's also a somewhat common trend on TGChan for people to get mad when fanart of characters is not totally accurate to the character.
Well, I for one don’t give a crap if any fan art is completely non canon or if the anatomy is incorrect. Besides, shouldn’t my lack of visual details counter this, as there aren’t a lot of details to get wrong? Hmm…
>From what I've seen the most effective thing to do would be to draw more fanart yourself, because sometimes people will be "oh dang this person drew fanart for me I should draw fanart for their cool quest too."
...so, I just need to either learn how to draw and make a bunch of art, or learn how actually make actual pixel art. Both sound rather unlikely…

Also, feels like I kind of dug my own grave when I accidently started whining about a lack of fan art. Now any fan art I’ll receive will feel like I only got it because of pity.

…Also also, I keep derailing this thread.

Yeah, same here; Mark errything as blue, leave the comment part the same.
Also not that strict on on-model-ness. As long as they're recognizable as characters from my quests, it's fine.
>>
No. 85992 ID: 4f004c

I highly doubt I'll ever get deep enough into making quests that people can make artwork, but I'm accepting (Do want Clean/Vanilla, Tolerant of Porn/Anything) of pretty much anything other than the same heavyweights Indonesian Gentleman is against.
Oh, but as far as lightweights go, I'm opposed to incest. Second cousins and further are fine, but anything closer than that and it just weirds me out. The exception is if the species is listed as immune/resistant to incest.

Yeah. Seriously, if you're going to draw it, you're going to draw it, but if it's on my black list, keep it the hell away from me.

And, like I said, my blacklist is "Hardcore Alternative" or "Heavyweight," and incest, wherein the species is vulnerable to it. Which is probably going to be most species. Only species I could think of off the top of my head that has an immunity that I might include is fairies, the agendered type. They're all related because they reproduce asexually, just plopping out an egg every so often. (I think of them in Breath of Fire terms, of course)
>>
No. 86144 ID: bb78f2

How would this person keep it the hell away though?
Not post it in the fanart thread? Should their be a Not Safe for Author thread in that case? Or not post it on the internet in general (which might be a little too much to expect)?
>>
No. 86148 ID: 602cd8

>>86144
It would be up to the artist to decide on that, really.

Again, this is essentially a courtesy document to just let potential fanart-artists know that maybe the quest auther won't be a fan of raunchy material or what-have you, and that if they're only drawing it for the author's sake, the efforts will go to waste/be detrimental.

But otherwise, whether or not an artist draws a thing is up to said artist; going against the spreadsheet won't be a bannable offense.
>>
No. 86149 ID: 557bac

I don't think this guide was intended to suppress a certain type of fanart or freak out people. If anything, I'd hope this would encourage more fanart. Most of the stuff that people are actually objecting too seems to show up pretty rarely on the board and it all gets hidden behind image spoilers anyway.

>>86144
If you draw a thing and you're worried that it might upset the author but still want to post it somewhere, put it in an offsite gallery or tumblr or even put in /draw/ if that kind of thing matters to you. If it doesn't: post it wherever, its not like that's stopped anyone before and its not like we're going to ban you for it.

By the same token, people should draw fanart because they like drawing fanart, no matter how tame or unspeakable it is, and not out of some desire to offend someone in particular. Its the internet and people need to have a thick skin, especially when they're creating a thing, but don't make a bunch of snuff/scat/vore and post it here like a smug motherfucker just because you feel like being a dick. The whole point of fanart is to show appreciation for something that someone else is making, not to be an asshole that's trying to provoke an argument.

For instance Bitequest's stuff, no matter how depraved it gets, is awesome because he's not making it to be a dick. When he drew me that awesome spreadeagled pic of Radula, I could tell that he knew that I might not like it, and was aware that not everyone is into gaping squid orifices. But he made it because it was fun and I really appreciate it. Even if I didn't, its a picture, I'm sure I would get over it because that's what people need to learn to do: get over things.

TL;DR
Draw more fanart, because fanart is awesome and awesome people draw fanart. Don't use fanart as an excuse to be a dick, but don't flip out if someone draws a thing that you don't like.

That works, too. Spoiler the image and header the post "Not for <Author>'s eyes." Even though it'll potentially encourage the Artist to look, they can at least pretend they heeded the warning and forget they looked.

I'd be eternally flattered by pretty much anything in the way of fanart. I don't gross out easily so I don't care if someone draws crazy freaknuts transdimensional ciphersexual porn or whatever, I'll still ultimately take it as a compliment. My only request is that people avoid drawing nsfw stuff of underage characters (not that I have any underage characters at the moment, but just speaking in terms of principle here).
