DiscussionHow to Submit a Non-OC Fanart post to /r/Genshin_Impact (self.Genshin_Impact)

submitted by KiraFeh Yae Miko haver [M]

This post explains how to correctly submit a Non-OC Fanart to the /r/Genshin_Impact subreddit.

I will use an artwork of Hu Tao as an example, from TheCold's Pixiv page. The same process applies to Twitter or other artwork sharing websites.

There are 4 important things to look out for, as listed below;

  1. Selecting the "Link Post" option
  2. "Non-OC Fanart" flair
  3. A direct link (URL) to the artwork
  4. Artist's name in the title of the post

For a more visual example, see the images below;

Additional Reminders:

  • Do not link to an image board like Zerochan or Safebooru. Link to the artist's own social media account (ex. Twitter, Pixiv).
  • The Non-OC fanart limit is 1 post per week.
  • Do not post artworks if the original artist has stated that their works should not be reposted.

Maybe make a YouTube links shareable then, as of now YouTube links are never approved, mods never get to them, they sit in limbo forever.

Feel like anything Mods need to approve, nothing happens.

sigh. im seriously tired of commenting the source in the posts of these reposters

oc is for original parsonage no? I didn't create the character so I should use this tag in original artwork with game characters.

[–]KiraFeh Yae Miko haver [S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

We use it in this subreddit for uploading artworks that you personally have created. It is definitely a bit vague, as I understand OC can mean creating your own character in some places, but not here.

Edit: The description of Rule 7 does a pretty good job of explaining it actually.

ow, tnks!

[–]Ritsuka-san r/AyakaMains X r/Lumine_Mains (Ayamine) 1 point2 points  (10 children)

what about videos?

if you did not create it?

[–]KiraFeh Yae Miko haver [S] 1 point2 points  (9 children)

Personally, I would like them to be sent as a link post, but there hasn't been a consensus among the mods about it specifically.

I know right now that Bilibili videos are reposted by certain people to farm karma on the sub. For YouTube I would follow the rules for the rest of this post, but submit as a video post instead of link post I guess.

[–]Bushimotter 1 point2 points  (7 children)

I posted a reuploaded video from bilibili with permission from the op (he had reuploaded my YouTube video on his bilibili too, but only speaks Mandarin) and posted the direct link to his content in the post, mods removed the video because I wasn't the op. I did not share his content for karma, I wanted people in the US to see it because it was incredible. Honestly, it was the most incredible teapot content I have ever seen. The BS is, people thought it was awesome and it was bringing the op way more views to his content, but oh, I am not op, so it can't be shared, even with permission...

same with artwork... (since via pixiv link it is too small to see)

and when you do follow the rules, it needs to be approved by Mods, which means it is never approved, since the mods never get to them, they sit in limbo forever.

[–]Bushimotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truly unfortunate.

[–]Ritsuka-san r/AyakaMains X r/Lumine_Mains (Ayamine) 0 points1 point  (4 children)

What vid?

this one?

[–]Bushimotter 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I think it was this one, or one that followed this video (https://youtu.be/-4IQYYKlpi4). I post as AjniinjA on YouTube, you can even see him link my YouTube channel in his own pinned comment lol.

[–]Ritsuka-san r/AyakaMains X r/Lumine_Mains (Ayamine) 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This one

got removed for me... (maybe cause no link for the pics? even though it is in the comments?)

[–]Bushimotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, all I know is YouTube links go to mod limbo, in the past when I post as op, also mod limbo...

I am forced to reupload my YouTube content directly to Reddit, just to avoid said limbo.

OC art (in any link form), non oc reposts, and link posts just don't seem to be allowed, or approved.

Also I may be wrong, but if I post something that takes 5 days to get approved, upon approval (if ever) I think the post may get shoved to 5 days in the post past, so nobody would ever see it. I may be wrong about this though, but it doesn't really matter since posts don't seem to be approved ever, in my exp.

[–]Bushimotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your are correct, it is the one you linked. His Billy Billy video has like 10 million views.

[–]Ritsuka-san r/AyakaMains X r/Lumine_Mains (Ayamine) 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Since just the link just for pixiv makes the art tiny, could I upload the picture and put the link in the the part where it says add link? (and credit artist in title)

or will it be removed?

[–]KiraFeh Yae Miko haver [S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The purpose of submitting artworks as link posts is to prevent the subreddit from being spammed with non-OC fanart. So unfortunately the pixiv link must be used in the link section.

[–]Ritsuka-san r/AyakaMains X r/Lumine_Mains (Ayamine) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I do it like this but instead of the caption replace it with the link instead.

[–]Ritsuka-san r/AyakaMains X r/Lumine_Mains (Ayamine) 0 points1 point  (2 children)

For Non OC fanart Can I do it like this but instead of the caption replace it with the link instead? So people can actually see the art.

[–]KiraFeh Yae Miko haver [S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

No, the purpose of the rules is to prevent the artwork from being displayed at a large size, as I mentioned in another comment.

[–]Ritsuka-san r/AyakaMains X r/Lumine_Mains (Ayamine) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah that explains it...

[–]Ritsuka-san r/AyakaMains X r/Lumine_Mains (Ayamine) 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What happens if the art can only be found on reddit?

[–]KiraFeh Yae Miko haver [S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I wouldn't repost it, chances are the artist themselves will post it on reddit. It doesn't matter if it's the only place you can find it on the internet, reddit isn't a good place to source artwork.
