Artbook Section Guidelines

[Ignis]

Here I will be writing guidelines to posting a thread in the artbook section.
Without further ado, let us start.

1. Thread title

Please name your thread according to this format:

• [circle] [illustrator] artbook title [quality (HQ, MQ, LQ)]

For example:

• [nagomi] [Tenmu Shinryuusai] Fuyu Momiji [HQ]
• [Kishida Mel] Atelier Series Official Chronicle [HQ]
• [Makura] Supreme Candy Official Visual Book [HQ]

As shown in the examples, you may just put the artist name (like Kishida Mel) or the circle name (like Makura). Artist name is more prioritised. However, putting both names is of course better, since some people may only know the circle or artist name only; and not both of them.​

2. Thread icon

Please choose accordingly one of the file host icon (Mix, HF, FS, MU, MF, UL, Other) to use on your thread. FS stands for Fileserve, so please put OHR (other) for Filesonic.​

3. Information and details provided

1. Artbook title.
2. Artist/circle name.
3. Quality; if possible the average resolution of the pictures.
4. Related media (games, anime, manga, whatever) if any.
5. Artbook size.
6. Picture file format (.png, .jpg, .bmp, whatever).
7. Amount of pictures inside the artbook.
8. Sample pictures.
9. Any corresponding link(s).

4. Download links

• If you are splitting your content into several links, you have to put the parts orderly.

5. Thread example

So yeah, here is an example of how an artbook thread should be, copied from an existing thread of mine.

6. Differentiating

• Please post your threads accordingly and in the correct section. Hentai artbooks go here, and non-hentai ones go here.
• Artbooks with pictures depicting sexual intercourse and genital organs are considered hentai. However, light sexual acts like groping breasts, and flashing skin not on genital parts like breasts, are just considered ecchi unless excessive.
• Know how to differentiate CG packs and artbooks. CG packs consist of pictures ripped from original games (most noticeably visual novels), while artbooks are original works done by certain artists or circles.
