Being an episode author in a nutshell

finally published new episode i spent 8 hours on writing and scripting custom minigames
makes sure every gem choice costs 5 and is only for cosmetics
uploads commissioned cover art
waits 4 days
art rejected because episode thinks it’s stolen because obviously every cover art ever is stolen
art re-uploaded and delayed by a week now special thanks to the review team
ooo 2 new fanmails, i feel appreciated

If it counts for anything, I loved the story, I think the gem choices are fair :sweat_smile:
Also how can you just reject a cover because ‘We think it’s stolen’ :roll_eyes:

Did they say why they thought it was stolen?

Thank you! I got this message. It’s pretty stupid because the characters are based on my story’s characters. I know that lots of people had this problem too last week. Not to mention the large cover which has the same art got approved. Whoever has been rejecting every digital art cover clearly doesn’t know how cover arts work…

The cover I commissioned:

Early sketch for proof:

Yeah, episode has always been kinda ridiculous when it comes to approving and rejecting, a support ticket maybe?
Including the early sketch to prove it’s yours, or just re-submitting it

I re-submitted and sent a ticket, been 4 days with no words yet. I think they don’t review on weekends.

Same, I was surprised ppl have the audacity to complain then ask for my work. I think it’s because most authors tend to release their templates. I actually released most of my templates a while ago but took it down because some people intentionally took down the credits message :sneezing_face:

Yes, it had the outfit, tattoo, background, and hairstyles from episode yet they still think I got it from google images :clown_face:

the audacity,

Hey @anon33728140 maybe it’s the background that copyrighted, not the cover.

No, the background is from episode

I know this is kinda off topic for the thread but that cover art is the best I’ve ever seen in my life, I’m not even playing :flushed:. I hope you get your situation sorted through, cause that would honestly be such a huge shame if you’re not able to use your cover. It looks like it took a long time!

I agree! I found the artist on fiverr and she is so talented, her style is awesome. The pose, the sassy-ness, it all screams fashion designer. I’m so glad you like it too :heart:

Lmk if you want me to send you her profile :blush:

Also I finally got the cover approved.

Damion should be called Damion Sexy because of his abs and sexyness :smirk:

Here’s her selling page :blush:

She charges $50 for two waist-up, which I find very reasonable since most charge $80+

Give her some time and she’ll do awesome things! I gave a simple pose and she made it more dynamic, sis literally read my mind and made my idea come to life :sob:
