Hello hello! I'm @ShadowhawkArt, the founder and admin of this group! Hard to believe I started this group 11 years ago but here we are. I was on a long hiatus and so this group has just been kind of sitting here unattended but I'm back! Please read all of this as there's a lot of important information. I'll try to keep it organized and brief. c:
As a reminder, this is an adoptable group, so it accepts all kinds of hand-drawn snazzy designs available to purchase! It also accepts free or pay to use linearts that others can use for adoptables. This group does not accept YCHs, regular art or writing/journals (with the exception of TH purges!), commissions / commission info, or completed customs.
Adoptables created by AI will not be accepted.
I noticed a lot of the folders are full because I switched them to "Automatically accept", and because of this a lot of adopts have overflowed into folders they shouldn't be in. In order to remedy this, I am deleting all of the folders and making new ones. If you have submitted an adopt recently, I apologize for the inconvenience, and you are free to submit to the new folders. They shall still follow the original guidelines but with a couple changes such as an increase in points range and the addition of a mature content adoptable folder. Important things to note are underlined:
- Featured: For high quality adoptables, regardless of price. You may request your best adoptables into this folder, but if they aren't high enough quality I may reject them as I see fit. I will not accept an adoptable into this folder if a base was used to make it. Do not spam adopts into this folder! Submit to the right one please!
- Free, DtA or WtA: These are for adopts that are free or you must draw or write about them in order to adopt them.
- 1 - 30 Points: For adopts that are priced at a flatsale of 1 - 30 . No other currencies are allowed.
- 31 - 75 Points: For adopts that are priced at a flatsale of 31 - 75 . No other currencies are allowed.
- 76 - 100 Points: For adopts that are priced at a flatsale of 76 - 100 . No other currencies are allowed.
- 101 - 300 Points: For adopts that are priced at a flatsale of 101 - 300 . No other currencies are allowed.
- 301 Points or over: For adopts that are priced at a flatsale of 300 or more. No other currencies are allowed.
- $1 - $10: For adopts that are priced at a flatsale of $1 - $10. No other currencies are allowed.
- $11 - $20: For adopts that are priced at a flatsale of $11 - $20. No other currencies are allowed.
- $21 or over: For adopts that are priced at a flatsale of $21 or more. No other currencies are allowed.
- Name Your Price / OtA: For an adopt or sheet of an adopts that allow the buyer to suggest a price, whether that be in points, USD, art, or other currencies. TH purges would generally go here unless they're all flatsale. If there is a starting bid, autobuy, and buyers can outbid each other, that adopt goes into the auction folder instead.
- Auction: For an adopt or sheet of adopts where an interested buyer can suggest a price, and then be outbidded in an auction-like fashion. It doesn't matter if the auction is in points, or cash, or both, you submit it to this folder.
- Points and Cash Flatsale: If your adopt can be adopted at a flatsale in points or cash, regardless of the cost, submit it here. This includes adopts that accept payment via a widget. If it is name your price / ota or an auction that accepts points or cash please submit it into those respective folders.
- Mixed Prices: If a sheet of adopts has adopts that could be placed in different folders (For example, one adopt is 10 and the other is 50 ), you submit the sheet into this folder. Please do not use this as a spamming folder if you're not sure where to submit.
- Mature Adopts: This group now accepts mature content adopts! This includes ones with nudity, heavy gore, etc. All of these must have a content warning or they will be removed. Please submit all mature content adopts, regardless of price, into this folder.
- Free or Pay to Use Lineart: For Linearts / bases that other people can use for adoptables for free or for a price, whether they be MS Paint friendly, .PSDs, or other file types. Do not submit YCHs into this folder, they will be removed.
- Not sure where to submit: Don't know which folder to submit in? No problem! Just submit it to this one and I'll try to sort it ASAP, though I'mma busy bean so I can't necessarily guarantee how long it'll take. Please don't spam adopts into this folder though.
General rules:
Please submit into the right folder. If I see someone regularly spamming to the wrong folder I may give a warning via note.
You may advertise on the front page, but only if they are adoptables that are SFW, so no mature content or they will be hidden. Do not spam this. You are allowed to post 1 comment with a new adoptable every 3 days.
As always, stolen adoptables will not be tolerated. If you suspect a user is posting stolen adoptables please send me a note. Any users that are posting stolen adoptables will be immediately reported and blacklisted.
Failure to follow the rules will result in a warning via note. After three warnings and no changes to behavior the user may be removed / blacklisted.
Note: I understand not everyone might see this journal right away, so I will be a bit more lenient on these new rules and folder submissions for a couple of weeks (besides submitting stolen adopts). I still will let any users know if they don't abide by these but it won't count as a warning until then.
All of the rules and folder info are also posted on the front page for reference. Besides that, I believe I've covered everything! If anyone has any questions feel free to let me know, and thank you all for being a part of Design-Insanity! <3
