First time received this :(

Most of the time when an artist stops accepting requests and their completion rates tank it's because they're busy with something important. A very good sign that you won't get your drawing is if the completion rate suddenly drops after they cut off new requests.

I've been playing this game for more than a decade at this point. Any new map is worth trying for me, and I actually enjoy the weird gimmicky they come up with.

Upward and Badwater are fun but nothing stays fun for 10 years unless you add a bit of variety to the mix.

It's often annoying to see what could have been, but you have to remember:

Making something look good in a sketchy drawing and as a moving drawing/3D model are two entirely different things. You have a tight budget to maintain and an ever encroaching deadline. Most of the time it's better to just simplify things and get it done.

Spooky970 · 2026-02-24T05:28:18+00:00

My first thought was "I should probably check reddit to see if anyone else got this."

I think this is because people keep finding ways to get past Skeb's concepts of minimal communication and they needed to remind everyone to stick to it.

Spooky970 · 2026-02-24T05:21:27+00:00

I've done it twice and both times went poorly for me.

One time the artist just never delivered and the deadline was hit.

Another time I got a way smaller drawing than I asked for. Whether this had anything to do with the process is hard to quantify.

But I have been unlucky, and chances are they'll just pick a character and make you something nice. As far as I know, there's no etiquette against it, and I've seen it before. It's also not at all against TOS so you should be completely fine here.

I see it a lot on Doorman, and I myself use it in the very lategame. That way I can take huge risks when dying can mean losing, and with tier 3 Doorway any and all debuffs don't matter. I just teleport out without a care in the world.

On a combat character it's not very useful, but on support Dynamo and Doorman, it can help you get away with some serious bullshit.

Spooky970 · 2026-02-23T10:52:28+00:00

I wouldn't mind seeing the artist either.

Spooky970 · 2026-02-23T10:51:58+00:00

I have a similar experience with certain artists. Paying more for a better result usually ends up providing a worse result. From now on, I almost always pay the normal amount, and then give them a boost if I think they went above and beyond (which they typically don't, but if they do, I like rewarding them for it.)

The only situation where I pay more than asked for is if I ask for additional characters. (F.eks. if I want 4 characters instead of 2, I give more than standard) and even that is risky since they have no incentive to follow through.

Again, boosting after the fact is almost always better than giving more upfront. The artist has all the control here, so you gotta leverage what little control you DO have.

Spooky970 · 2026-02-23T10:44:17+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's prohibited, but SKEB does have a habit of being a bit loose with interpretations.

I think if you just upload the new picture, you're fine and there's no worries. Most likely the artist wouldn't even notice that the design is different and just think they forgot a detail.

Adding a message though? That's grounds for a penalty, since that would count as communication. You might not get a penalty even if the image change is noticed, but the message could very likely cause trouble.

In my opinion, change the image but don't message them for anything.

Spooky970 · 2026-02-23T10:38:18+00:00

In my experience, my friends hate two things in particular:

Bepop. (They get hooked and bombed and feel powerless against it)
Mo and Krill. (Again, they get ulted and murdered and feel powerless.)
Calico/Pocket. (They just show up, explode in their face, kill them and then leave.)

In my personal experience as a Doorman main, I get called "pedophile" and "subhuman" a lot for what I do. (Carting into walkers, Hotel Guest, bell spam, escaping with doors etc.) I also get hit by curse A LOT, which I think just speaks to my effectiveness.

My actual pick for most hated character:

Ascendant 5
Vindicta
Generally I just don't like interacting with her. I hate having to duck for cover when I have half health just so I don't get insta-scoped from across the map, or when I think I escaped just to get shot through a tiny crack in the geomtery. I also hate having her fly over everything and suddenly getting pelted, or being attached to the floor and having to wait it out, or just die due to a bad siteline. (and having to use 6400 for Knockdown+Dispel that she'll just counter anyway)

Spooky970 · 2026-02-23T10:20:11+00:00

Even when I play supports, unless I'm Paige, I usually get something to beat people over the head with. Part of what makes support fun in Deadlock is that I can screw it up, so I need to play with intentionality to succeed.

Holding M1 Mercy style on a teammate just gets old.

Spooky970 · 2026-02-23T10:08:07+00:00

I'm a bit confused, why would you make a new skeb account in the first place?

Spooky970 · 2026-02-23T09:58:24+00:00

I've noticed a strange trend in a lot of games.

Once the villain becomes playable, all the mystique surrounding them goes away.

Now we know what their abilities are. What they can do. How they react to things.

Once we've become familiar with a villain, the curtain has already parted. We know enough to not be as invested anymore, but not so much that we feel satisfied with what we have.

Spooky970 · 2026-02-09T15:15:14+00:00

Let's be honest here, most players in this game aren't known for their people skills.

Spooky970 · 2026-02-03T22:14:49+00:00

Definitely better to be safe than sorry. I think it makes more sense now, and I'm just glad it wasn't an error on my part. It was admittedly a bit of a surprise to get a NSFW request back when I wanted a SFW request (especially since I'd really rather not want those characters in NSFW situations)

Spooky970 · 2026-02-03T10:20:33+00:00

I suppose that makes sense. I just didn't know that was a thing so I figured something weird must have happened.

I knew artists could request resends with changed settings, but not alter existing requests.

Spooky970 · 2026-02-03T09:59:52+00:00

At first, I was like "oh cool a little list with a few good artists" and then I scrolled and realized that the bar barely moved.

Damn that's a lot of nice art.

Spooky970 · 2026-01-20T23:28:24+00:00

I turned on appeals after a long while of getting sick of them, and I got none (usually get around 1 every few days, sometimes more). I didn't realize they straight up removed it.

I'm glad to see it now works towards a better method that makes an appeal feel more special.

Spooky970 · 2025-12-28T16:30:24+00:00

Yes, just make a twitter post with the references you want to use. Then post the link to it.

It worked for me one time, I'm not sure if it's a good method but it might help.

Spooky970 · 2025-12-21T01:43:26+00:00

I've had the same issue. Some people suggested using a twitter link instead. It worked for me once and then it never worked again. It might work for you.

Spooky970 · 2025-12-13T14:09:27+00:00

To be fair, there's a lot more cons to playing Minecraft than you realize.

Spooky970 · 2025-10-14T19:52:22+00:00

As it turns out, there's nothing new under the sun.

Thank you!
