Artist Pay Changes



I have just finished adding a new way for artists to be paid. There are a few changes you need to be aware of:



All artists now earn 5,000 sP a day.



In addition to this you can earn 500sP for each image you draw that gets used. If the image is a pet, or a general image you will get 500sP for sure. However, if the image is an item there are certain requirements.



To earn your 500sP for an item, it must have a unique and usable description. You can think of the 5000sP a day as paying for your services as an artist, and the 500sP per image as a bonus for coming up with descriptions.



With these changes, if you are a productive artist, who is prepared to put a little bit of extra effort in with your descriptions, you have the potential to earn a lot of sP.

Ooo, spiffy system. I've been idea-less for items, though. Hopefully I'll think of stuff to draw over the summer. <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif border=0>

Awr, and the rest of us are stuck at a low flat-rate. <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif border=0>
<br>
<br>That's a pretty reasonable setup for the artists, though. Should help motivate some. <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>

I think this would be a good reson to add the "edit" botton to uploaded images in your directory if it's possible? That was when you upload a lot of images and your brain is dead, you could go back once your done and take your time thinking up actual descriptions xD

As I said, the 5000sP is your pay for the -images-.
<br>
<br>That means that if you draw one pet that takes you a week, you've been payed 35K sP for that pets image.
<br>
<br>However, in that time we expect ~5 items or so, so you're only getting ~7K sP per item. You do get more for pets. This 500 is a bonus for descriptions for items <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif border=0>

for restocking x0x ~ I'm so bad at it and I usually don't have the luck to never get anything.
<br>As for trivias ~ >_> if they're in a confusing english that I can't translate it gets worse.

do I get paid for the hundreds of descriptions I've made? <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_shocked.gif border=0>
<br>
<br>j/k j/k, I don't need sP

I don't get why people are making such a fuss about sP.
<br>
<br>I never collect my staff salary, I hardly ever play Random, I don't play any other games. All my sP is gotten from selling items I get from REs, trivias, etc. You don't need sP to have fun at Subeta.
<br>
<br>Artists drew items and pets before, and I think you guys still draw them now. The 500 sP is like, a little bonus? <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif border=0>

While pets probably deserve more sp ... don't we draw too many pets anyway? That would encourage us to waste our time and so on.
<br>
<br>Still, I've got a bunch of GY pets rotting (literally) about the place, and I wouldn't mind being paid more for those if they get released x3

-Is extreamly bad at desc., thus will not be earning any extra sp- x3 good idea for people that are good at them :p

I would agree for perhaps having more sP for pets, since they take a lot more time and effort. Otherwise sounds good. What about items that are uploaded, but not released yet? Do we get the sP when they are released?

T.T I knew this day would come, where unproductive people like me actually get paid for the amount of work they do. I guess I'll have to start speeding up.

hm~ 500 is okay for an item I guess.
<br>But then again 500 for a pet? xD which can take an hour up?
<br>~ *thinks of her commision* o_O
<br>
<br>Well just my thoughts (spelling?!)
<br>
<br>Now I have to think about descriptions xD *pokes the books she's drawing*

I hardly make descriptions because my English sucks X___x And I NEVER can think of somethign after I drew for hours... sorry for that >_>;;

Also, I'd quite like some sp. Someone release a couple of Graveyard pets. :3

Well, that depends what it's two and two of. If you have two litres of milk plus two litres of milk, then obviously you are going to end up with milk.
<br>
<br>If it's two rats plus two rats then ... maybe they'd make babies and lactate?

MYTHI YOUR NUMBERS DON'T ADD UP. D:

<br>What mathematical world do you live in? Where 2 + 2 = Milk?

Oh, and if theres any SUGGESTIONS that artists want to word in a sentence that doesnt start with "THIS IS STUPID, I QUIT", then the whole scheme is up for discussion. I'm open to tweaking the numbers if you feel it is fit to do so.

Steen and I discussed this Sooki <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif border=0>
<br>
<br>You were paid for about half of them (due to the lack of descriptions). But from now on to get the extra you will need descriptions.
