Topic: How to tag artwork that uses a base

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

The title explains most of the situation. How are bases, pay to use or otherwise considered for tagging? Is the artist that made the base considered a contributor? not mentioned at all? or do pieces that use bases fall outside the uploading guidelines?

Without checking the guidelines, so maybe this could be a little outdated or inaccurate: I believe the only times uploading a base is acceptable is when it's colored by the artist themselves, with the standard limit of only 5 10 variants. Any third-party usage should be deleted.

Unless staff suggests otherwise I'll err on the side of caution and hold off on it. Thanks for the help

Art made from a base is not allowed unless it was colored by the original artist

Uploading Guidelines - Bad Things to Upload:

  • Bases not coloured by the creator of the base; see Edits for posting bases coloured by the base creator.

The limit is 10

Uploading Guidelines - Good Things to Upload:

  • Image sets where a single "base" is reused multiple times with only minor edits (and no story or natural progression) are not allowed.
    • Small excerpts (up to 10 at a time) are okay, though.
