Every art piece of an incandelon can earn soul dust, and prompts will have bonuses.
Currency earnings subject to change based on player feedback
ART EARNINGS
Headshot: 5 SD Only the face/head is depicted.
Halfbody: 10 SD Part of the body is depicted. Busts count as half body if enough is depicted for the chest mark to be visible
Fullbody: 15 SD The majority of the character is depicted. Some features may be obscured by objects such as a bush or blanket but it should be clear that the whole Incandelon or Spiritkind is in the image.
Sketch: +0 SD Rough, scratchy, and unfinished looking, with lots of tangent lines and flyaways
Lineart/Clean lineless: +5 SD. Has clear effort put into it. Sketchy styles can count as clean if they aren’t overly messy
Colored: +10 SD Color must mostly stay within the lines to count for SD. Grayscale can count as colored if there are value differences reflecting the character’s markings.
Shading +5 SD Shading can be minimal, but the piece should be obviously not flat colored.
Each character in a piece gets full scoring.
Colors and shading stack. So if the piece is colored and also shaded it earns +15
Minimal background: +5 SD Patterns and abstract backgrounds, as well as simple horizons with minimal detail, or backgrounds that are blobby, very blurry, or clearly quickly made.
Simple background: +10 SD Can be rather basic, but it should be clear what the background is depicting. Simple scene with at least a few props or trees.
Complex background: +20 SD A background with visible depth or lots of detail. Foreground/middleground/background is preferable, but less may be acceptable. This score is somewhat subjective and the same background could count as simple or complex depending on how much effort you feel like you put into it.
Photos do not count for a background score.

So a simple scene with three lined/shaded/fullbody characters would earn 115 SD
