Posted 2022-10-07 16:45:34 #848928 Also, for anyone wondering. To my knowledge, Xylax doesn't handle every acception, but he does handle every rejection since they all start with a line about coming from the head artist.

Posted 2022-10-07 16:51:30 #848929 Tldr: Slothie and AliBird make great points. For people like me, who make almost all of their income on Wolvden through custom decor commissions, the current state of things is demotivating. I've had people tell me that they'd love to commission me, but because of how finicky the acceptance is, they don't want to put me through the struggle. The current system is actively turning people away from becoming cd artists and turning people away from even wanting to commission others for decors. I love making decors for this game but it is insanely demotivating on occasion because of the massive inconsistencies.

Posted 2022-10-07 17:10:27 (edited) #848935 I sure as hell wouldn't become a CD artist with the system that's for sure, I myself dont actually draw objects or clothing's and there's no point In attempting because I know I will instantly go through constant hassle. Now if it was relaxed? Sure my first few pieces might be rusty but I have a reason now to learn and develop these skills and get better, Perhaps I could go back eventually and update them. Its a shame, I'm a decent artist just everything I do is for personal enjoyment so I have absolute no reason to diversify my portfolio, If Wolvden were to make this more forgiving It might actually benefit me and many other artists a lot!

Posted 2022-10-07 17:44:46 #848956 I also want to mention that decor submissions should be addressed on a first submitted, first come basis. I've heard of artist's newer decors become accepted ahead of older decors. I used to think this was because they were waiting for a rejection reason, but this isn't always the case. Sometimes they're just accepted months later. I'm not sure where resubmitted decors would go - top of the queue to get checked again or bottom to wait with everyone else. But either way, this is definitely something I'd like to see. Included with this, a ticket number would be great. Right now it just says "pending approval" with no information, but you could do one of a few things. Either include a number in line for each decor, with the number lowering as other decors are approved. OR you could have a place on the website saying the current submission date the queue has worked up to. Like "We are caught up to 2022-08-25". Either way would give submitters a breath of relief as they wait, and they'd be able to better update their commissioners.

Posted 2022-10-07 17:52:27 #848965 ^^^^ I waited a total of 2 months for my Tiger's Blessing decor to go through, and had one rejection in that time. I had several others get through/get feedback even though I'd submitted them after.

Posted 2022-10-07 18:07:18 #848972 ^^ Huge agree with both! I had a CD in limbo for nearly 2 months, others getting accepted and rejected around it. Another thing to mention would be adding a red "rejected" on decors that have been rejected (until they're updated). I can never keep track of what has been rejected/what is still pending with the many decor I often have pending at once. It should be a super easy quality of life fix to change the pending text to rejected when it's been rejected. Then when you next update it it goes back to pending until accepted/rejected again.

Posted 2022-10-07 18:47:56 #848987 Mixed on custom decor. If the art style doesn't match the site's original images it'll be too distracting for me to buy. I like that most things look like a very few people were involved in creating them. Someone told me they tried to make a shading layer and it was rejected as looking like a marking. They had experience so I don't imagine it looked bad/confusing. Maybe relax that a bit since there are so many dark backgrounds where the wolf just sticks out in an unnatural way. Maybe relax it for people to create their own backgrounds? As long as it doesn't stray too far from the natural theme such as being in space, in a shop etc.

Posted 2022-10-07 18:51:36 #848990 I definitely think that custom decor should still be required to match the wolvden style, there just needs to be a more solid understanding on what the wolvden style *is*.

Posted 2022-10-07 23:52:05 (edited) #849086 Hmmm... I really, really hope that staff actually lift the absurd restrictions on custom decor acceptance. Because as of right now, there is no continuity in regards to what is 'good enough.' I've had the same decor rejected twice, with absolutely NO concrete clarity as to why. It's immeasurably confusing.
