Attention Artists!

After some discussion, User not found: dna, Keith and I have revamped your quota requirements. Effective September 1, 2008, your new quota is now a total of 50 points per month.

We have also recalculated the values of point tallies to make this new quota a bit easier to achieve. The new points system is as follows:

---

HUMAN AVATARS

base features
eyes: 2 points each
__recolors: 1 point each
nose: 1 point each
mouth: 1 point each
hair: 8 points each

clothes
unique: 2 points each
recolors: 1 point each
full backdrops: 4 points each

PETS

unique: 10 points each
recolors: 5 points each

NPCs

5 points each

ITEMS - When doing item recolors, you are limited to no more than 8 recolors per item. Anything pet-colored themed, e.g., elixirs, plushies, beanbags, etc., is automatically exempt from this limitation. We also will not round up half points. Please make an even number of recolors.

donation presents/event items: 2 points each
unique: 1 point each
recolors: 0.5 points each

---

As you can see the value for donation presents and event items is more than a typical item. This is to encourage quality item production in a timely manner. Keep in mind only fifteen items go in a donation present, so if you want to take advantage of this arrangement, you'll have to get your items in early. Also, if an item is not chosen for a donation present, it will be valued at the unique item value of one point.

When User not found: dna and I have a special project or holiday event to announce to you, we will make sure to let you know if that item demand qualifies for a double point bonus. Keep an eye out for these if you feel you are falling short on meeting quota!

Monthly Bonuses?!
Yes! Every month you go over your quota of 50 points, you earn 100 Cash Shop Credits for each extra point, up to a cap of 50 points (5,000 CS credits). Artists currently paid in either USD or CS credits are eligible for this bonus.

Floating Holiday
This will probably be covered in How To Be A Subeta Artist soon, but you are each allowed 2 months off per year. You may not break it up into weekly increments or smaller. This system is designed to allow you to have two months per year when you are not bound by a monthly quota. These months can be taken whenever you choose, except from October to January, which is our busiest holiday season. No more than two artists may be off per month, so it would behoove you to ask for this time off in advance.

However, if you are falling short on your quota or something comes up and you know you will not make it, you may use these floating holidays as a ''Get Out of Jail Free'' card, again, only if two artists aren't already taking the month off.

We hope these changes benefit both Subeta and its users and you as an artist. If you have any feedback on this, please don't hesitate to contact myself or User not found: dna via sMail or post here. From now on this information can be found in the Art Reference forum, here. Other threads in that forum will be edited soon to reflect these changes.
