Topic: Editing Out the Advertising Portion of Adopts

Posted under General

I know you're not supposed to post adopt ads in the image but is it acceptable to just edit out the parts that say that cost and anything else related to purchasing the adopt? You could then move that stuff to the post's description if that's allowed.

For an artist, I'm sure that would be allowed for them to make such an alt as long as the resulting image is still of sufficient quality (not too incomplete or too messy of a sketch, etc). For a third-party_edit, I don't think that would be allowed as it would be removing information the artist put there (even if it's moved to the description, it's still being taken out of the image itself; similar to removing a signature not being allowed, despite the artist still being in the tags).

Yeah, I was wondering about doing it myself for someone else's artwork. Good to know.

Third-party edits are undesirable, but if we're talking about your own art - adopt art is generally permitted if it's 1) original artwork, e.g. not just a colored base and 2) doesn't have advertising in the image itself, as a rule of thumb it should probably be indistinguishable from any other model_sheet.

The description can then be used for the adopt details.

I've posted numerous of these myself (on behalf of the artist) and they always pass the approval queue:

edit: too slow, wasted my own time

No no, I mean I've posted numerous artists' adopts. I see the misunderstanding here though!

I was going to include examples of other artists too, but realised my "always pass the approval queue" comment is a little less reliable if I included auto-approved uploads like post #5105584.

are you editing these files, or have you gotten versions without adopting them directly from the source?

Everything I've uploaded has been directly from artists' galleries, or provided directly to me by the artist or commissioner. No third party edits from me.

With the exception of post #3023851 which needed to be compressed to fit within e621's 100MB file size limit, and every webm file because those needed to be converted from mp4.
