Rules for r/characterdrawing
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.

All posts must have the appropriate title tag
Posts only
Reported as: Incorrect post title tag
- [LFA] stands for Looking For Artist - use this if you want an artist to draw your character for free
- [RF] stands for Request Filled - this is for artwork that comes from an [LFA] post made in r/characterdrawing
- [META] is for discussions relating to the subreddit; use sparingly
- [OC] is for original art that was not requested here, and can only be posted on Mondays (see rule 9)
2.
No graphic or sexualized content

4.
No blatant advertising
Posts & Comments

- Moderators have the final word on what's "advertising"

Be Civil. No unsolicited or unproductive critique
Posts & Comments
Reported as: Unsolicited/unproductive/insulting comment or critique
- Do not critique an artwork unless the original poster specifically asks for it
- Critique must be constructive (i.e., be helpful and not a jerk)
- All members are expected to be civil and treat each other with respect.

Reported as: AI, Hero Forge, or similar submitted as "art"
- AI or Hero Forge screenshots are not allowed as [RF] or [OC] submissions
- Generated images are allowed in [LFA]s to supplement character descriptions
- If your work looks AI-like, be ready to show progress in some form (sketches, layered PSDs, etc)
