V That's amazing, thank you!
A 'draw the character above you' game, but specifically for fan characters! Let's give your beloved fandom based OCs the love they deserve!
Rules:- (rules are subject to revision, change and expansion as needed)
- This thread is open to artists of all skill levels.
- All characters and art posted here must be SFW, this thread is open to minors. (Sensitive themes are fine as long as there's a content warning.)
- Please only post permanently homed character(s). This game is not to be used with the intention of boosting the value/desirability of characters you're looking to rehome, art received through this thread does not increase the sale/trade value of your characters.
- Keep user accessibility in mind, don't post characters with eye-strain, headache, nausea or potentially seizure inducing colours, patterns, fonts or animations in their profiles/profile coding.
- Your chosen character(s) must have a clear, full body coloured image that can be used as reference.
- Your chosen character(s) profile must be publicly visible/visible to logged in users. The next poster can't draw for you if your characters are set to private/auth only.
- You have 2 weeks (14 days) to complete and deliver your art, this time limit starts the moment you post your claim. If the time limit has passed and you have not received the art you are owed, it is your responsibility to contact the person who claimed you and remind them. If they don't deliver the finished art within the 48 hours after you sent the reminder, please visit the unfilled claims thread.
- Do not delete or edit your claim out of your post to avoid fulfilling your owed art. (The only deleted posts in this thread should be old moderation posts made by the thread owner that have served their purpose.)
- Do not block the owner of this thread or the users you owe art to for the sake of avoiding fulfilling your owed art.
- Do not block the person who claimed you because you don't like their art or something really petty like that and prevent them from completing their claim, you have no control over who claims and draws for you here.
- Don't just say 'done and sent' when delivering your claim, you must edit your original post to include the finished image when you're done. You may end up banned under the assumption you haven't fulfilled your claim if you don't include the finished art.
- Don't skip anyone (unless they're banned). If you're blocked by or have the most recent poster blocked, please wait for someone else to claim them before you post.
- You must finish your previous claim before posting again.
- Please wait for a minimum of 3 other users to post before posting another claim. If the thread stalls and sees no activity for 5 days, you may post again early to get the thread moving.
- Please don't post manual bumps, they get spammy and clog the thread. If you want to get the thread moving again, either use the built in bump button or claim and draw for the most recent poster instead.
- The effort you're required to put into this game is a greyscale, shaded bust like the examples in the spoiler below at the absolute minimum, but doing more is welcome. Your line art doesn't have to be pristine, leaving the linework as a refined sketch is fine if it's tidy enough to see the details. (Please don't get upset if you receive the bare minimum from the next poster if you plan on making more polished, high effort work).
- Don't use simple shaped/characters that lack a body (slimes and similar amorphous type characters etc.) as a way to skirt around the thread's minimum requirements. You will be asked to alter your art or draw a different character to meet the minimum requirements. Failure to comply with the request will result in a ban.
- The use of bases is allowed, but please put a good amount of effort into it and make sure the base creator is properly credited. (note, you don't get to choose whether or not the art you receive through this thread is made using a base. If you don't like the possibility of getting on-base art, consider joining a different art game that doesn't allow it.)
- Make sure your art is as accurate to the character's design as possible and you follow any design notes the owner has provided either on the references or profile info. Don't make changes to someone else's characters to fit your own personal taste or sensibilities without the owner's permission.
- If you're a traditional artist, please only draw on white/sketchbook paper and ensure you get a good, clean photo/scan of your finished drawing. Blurry photos, photos with poor lighting or shot at an odd angle and photos where your drawing tools, sketchpad binding, fingers or the surface you photographed your work on is visible won't be accepted.
- Don't complain about the art you get or ask for changes/alterations, it's free art. If you're not satisfied with the result, you don't have to feature it in your character's gallery.
- Don't claim the art you receive through this thread as your own or edit, reproduce, redistribute, sell, feed into AI generator databases or use in any way without the original artist's permission.
- Always thank your artists.
Banned users:-
If you see any of these users posting in this thread when they shouldn't be, please skip them and draw for the person above them instead.
Pre-emptive bans may occur if the user in question has an active PSA warning written up about them for inappropriate/unacceptable behaviour in art games.
Unfilled claims:-
Deleted claims:-
None, lets keep it this way
Permanently banned:-
This list carries over from past art games I've hosted and applies to all current or future game threads I may run.
ThatGothDragQueen - Doesn't fulfil their claims, blocks the art game thread owners to avoid doing their owed art and blocks users who have claimed them to prevent them from delivering finished art.
Getting unbanned:-
If you want to be removed from the ban list, all you have to do is finish and deliver your outstanding claims. However, the art standards you're required to meet in order to have your ban lifted are different to the game's original requirements: you must make high effort, fully coloured and shaded full body art, polished to the very best of your current ability to make up for the time you've made your claimee wait. Trying to pass off something lazy and low effort as a finished claim to get off the ban list will instead result in a permanent ban.
You only have one chance, if you break the rules again after your first ban has been lifted, you will be permanently banned.

Finished thing: Finished! In the spoiler and sending on over! (I decided to draw Charteuse)
IC is preferred but anyone in my Fandom Folder (and subfolders) are also good to go!
Powgal Please update your finished claim, drawing just the character's face alone does not meet the minimum requirement for this game, you're supposed to be drawing a bust which includes the character's neck and shoulders at the very least. Thank you.
