MY YOUTH
a graphic lottery

▌FIRST

the credit for the idea of a graphic lotto goes to soulofstaars so if you start one, please credit them.

▌SECOND

unlike a graphic shop, graphic lotto is non-committal, which means that there is no guarantee if your request will be accepted or not. let be known that I have nothing against you if your request is not accepted, it would just mean that it doesn't give me inspiration or I am out of my depth. don't take it personally:)

▌THIRD

also, mind that this is only a cover lotto. I might start making more types of graphics, but right now I am only limited to that.

▌FOURTH

one more thing that also comes with a graphic lotto being non-committal is that there is an indefinite waiting period. don't worry, it will become apparent within a month whether or not I have accepted the request or not but I am an active senior high school student with the weight of my parents' expectations on my shoulders. I might not find time. But making graphics is something that I enjoy very much, expect the graphics to be finished pretty early once I get my rhythm.

▌ONE ―― published

Your fic must have at least two chapters published, prologue, summary and act divider not included. doesn't it suck to spend time and dedication to a graphic just so it doesn't get used?

▌SECOND ―― display and credit

Covers should be displayed for at least 3 weeks. Also, you should tag me in the fic description (for example- 'cover by deanne / @ -irxnblade' ) and give me a shoutout on your message board.

If you stop using the cover, at least display it in your graphic gallery of the fic, and tag me there.

Credit is a must and if I find you displaying my graphic without tagging me or even mentioning me, I will report and blacklist you. There is no excuse for failing to credit and/ or stealing.

▌THIRD ―― shop hopping

This is not a shop, so there won't be any strict rules for shop hopping, but it would be respectful if you don't request the same graphic elsewhere if you already have requested from here too. Considering there are a heck lot of lottos to choose from and you requested from mine. the password is your current obsession.

▌FOURTH ―― payment

Payment is in the form of a permanent follow on my wattpad account and adding this book to a public reading list. Make sure to do it after you receive the graphic, I will check in case you are too nifty about your account aesthetic and are trying to be sneaky (that is, removing the book from the reading list a few days after).

▌FIFTH ―― deal breakers

There would be plenty of reasons for which I may deny your request (other than the lack of inspiration obviously). Some of them might be:

1. weird age gaps of faceclaims. it's kinda uncomfy to make those you know.

2. if the request is for a fandom or love interest I don't like.

I won't make covers for: Vampire Diaries/Originals/ Legacies. Star Wars (sorry I haven't watched it at all) Draco Malfoy and Tom Riddle fics. Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers fics.

I mostly make covers for: Marvel, supernatural. DC is new for me, so is ST, I would experiment for those.

3. Problematic faceclaims. I can't provide a whole list, but if you have been ordering from shops and lottos, then it should be basic knowledge. For those you are new to requesting for graphics, I don't think you are new to celebrity scandals and cancel culture. Most importantly, do the research!

4. I will cringe very hard if you request cover with a very... less than stellar name. I would hate to put "the other _____" or "the lost ______" etc on the graphic. please put some thought on the title before requesting.

▌SIXTH ―― be nice

I am doing this from the goodness of my heart, and for my love for making graphics. being nice is the least you could do for me, and the other graphic designers you might request from ;)

NEXT UP: EXAMPLES AND REQUEST CHAPTERS. PLEASE PUT ORDERS IN THE REQUEST FORM CHAPTER ONLY, UNDER THE CORRECT HEADING.

BLACKLIST.
Let's keep this empty, guys.
