Carat Guide - Minimum Art Requirements


In order to earn rewards for art submitted to Succubuns, it must follow the minimum art requirements outlined below. You're welcome to upload art that doesn't meet these requirements to the Art Gallery, but it cannot be submitted for rewards.

 

Submission Limits

Every prompt submitted to Succubuns is individually reviewed by a human moderator. As such, when a single player submits a large number of prompts or prompts containing a large number of characters all at once, it can put strain on our moderation team and slow down the approval queue for other players.

To help us avoid these issues, please stick to the following limits for submissions:

- Please do not submit more than 5 submissions at one time. If you have more than 5 pieces to submit, wait until the first 5 have been approved before submitting more.
-Please do not submit pieces containing more than 25 characters. Massive group pieces can become a difficult game of Where's Waldo for mods trying to confirm that each listed succubun is present.
- Please do not submit comics with more than 15 panels. Multi-page comics can be broken up across submissions to follow limitations.

 

Fully Colored

Submissions must be fully colored with accurate palettes.
Succubuns does not accept submissions of sketches, lineart, grayscale pieces, or monochrome/limited palette pieces.

  

We don't expect eyedropper-accurate coloring for characters' palettes, but cannot accept pieces with objectively inaccurate colors for the characters or settings depicted. We try to be lenient for things like mood lighting and colored shading, but character designs must still be clearly identifiable.

 

Below are some examples of coloring styles that involve tinting the overall palette of the piece in an acceptable way, where the different colors are all still clearly distinct.

 

Uniquely Created By You

All artwork submitted to Succubuns must be uniquely drawn by a Succubuns player, and created specifically for Succubuns. 

The following are not allowed to be submitted for rewards:
- On-base or "YCH" art. If an artist creates a base or YCH specifically for use in Succubuns, they may submit their first usage of that base for carats, but it may not be used in prompts, and no other uses of the base can earn rewards.
- Reused art. Shortcuts such as copy-pasting a background from one submission to another are not allowed.
- Heavy use of premade assets. This is covered in more details on the Asset Restrictions page.

The following are not allowed on Succubuns at all:
- Tracing or reproduction. Players may not trace or create direct reproductions of art that does not belong to them, including Succubuns official art.
- Non-Succubuns bases. You may not create artwork for Succubuns using bases that were made by artists outside of Succubuns.
- AI generated or assisted images. As a pro-artist website, Succubuns is staunchly anti-generative AI. Use of generative AI programs can result in an account ban.

 

Canon Compliant

All art submitted to Succubuns need to be respectful of the Succubuns world and lore.

The following are not allowed in official Succubuns submissions:
- Settings other than Burrowgatory. Succubuns cannot travel to other locations such as the heavenly meadow, Hell, or the human world.
- Non-Succubuns characters or creatures, such as humans, other adoptable species, or real life animals or insects.
- The sun, moon, or stars—Burrowgatory is underground, and does not have a view of celestial bodies.
- Guns or other firearms, which do not exist in Burrowgatory.
- Fantasy or sci-fi elements such as magical abilities or potions, monster-fighting adventurers, or futuristic technology. Burrowgatory is a modern urban setting, and the only unrealistic elements of the setting are the ones explicitly outlined in the lore pages.
- Submissions that break any of our Content Rules.

 

Official Characters

Art submitted to Succubuns may only contain official characters. This means that every character featured in the piece must have an approved entry on the BUN, MYO, or NPC masterlist. Doll forms may only be used in art if their designs have been approved on the bun's masterlist entry.

Crowd shots can include silhouettes of buns that aren't official, but they must be simple silhouettes, without distinct faces or design elements. These silhouette buns count for background complexity, but do not give character rewards.

If you need characters to add to your piece, consider searching for characters on the masterlist who are set to Gift Art Open, or use one of the NPCs!

Following these basic guidelines, along with any prompt-specific requirements, will ensure that your artwork can be submitted for its proper rewards.

Happy drawing!
