Smogon's Facebook page (http://facebook.com/smogonu) is always growing in popularity and as such, we have a reputation to uphold. This reputation is comprised of not only providing up-to-date, in-depth breakdowns of the most common Pokemon in every official tier, but also of the stunning, beautiful artwork created by you, community artists. Your involvement is invaluable, and as such, I heavily encourage anyone wanting to get more involved in Smogon's various communities - specifically social media and art, in this case! - to contribute to the effort through this thread.
I'm looking for the following qualities in a potential contributor:
We are looking for:
- Accountability - commitment and responsibility go hand in hand, therefore if you say you're going to provide a piece of artwork for a particular Pokemon of the Week, project, or announcement, then I have to be sure I can trust you to follow through. Failure to do so has the natural consequence of negative repercussions throughout the site and with other staff, so please refrain from making any promises you can't keep.
- Dedication - the art displayed on the Facebook page has to be an example of the high quality work we as a community produced, so I urge you to not try and pass a half-assed piece. Put your very best into every piece you do.
- Skill - we have a high standard for written contributions, and the art is no different. As such, the prerequisite for reserving artwork for the Facebook page is to be an approved artist. If you have any questions regarding becoming an approved artist, contact Bummer, the site's art leader.
- Timeliness - in order for all deadlines to be met, the pieces of a Facebook post have to be assembled beforehand and that means an artist that has reserved a piece has to remain on top of things to get it done in time for the post to be scheduled/made.
With all that said, thanks for lending your talent to Smogon - feel free to start reserving immediately.
