Upload Bounty Thread

Posted under General

Ideally, only Approvers and above post artists and images here.

Although some dislike this soft rule, I state it to make it clear that when I post something here I am saying that I will approve it. To be completely honest, sometimes we long-time unrestricted users can forget what a hellhole the queue is. If you can't guarantee approval with your post, you should be wary. Approvers and above are the only ones who can actually guarantee approval.

It is far from unusual for many users to end up with far too many bookmarked artists and images than we can physically upload on our own. Often, it is inadequate to post a lone link on Discord, as it gets drowned out by conversation, memes, and often porn in some channels. It is also common for users, be they unrestricted uploaders or new users, to struggle to find things they know for certain will be approved.

As such, I am raising this thread to provide the opportunity for people like me to post artists and images for upload. If you're looking for something to upload and haven't found anything through idle scrolling on Twitter and Pixiv's top 50 is filled with already uploaded things or trash, I want y'all to be able to come here and find entire artists to upload. I've got over 600 bookmarks of various artists and images that I want to upload and over 1000 images in my unposted media. Let me unload some of this stuff onto others.

Ideally, only Approvers and above post artists and images here. This is not intended to be an upload request thread. This is intended to be an endorsement of the images. To make sure that this endorsement is entirely concrete, it should be assumed that when I, an approver, post an artist or image here I am directly stating that I will approve the images therein. No need to announce that you're uploading them or anything. But if and when I see what I posted in here in the queue I will approve it. Hopefully, other approvers will approve them as well.

Some additional useful things:
I strongly recommend installing the userscripts to show whether or not an image on Pixiv or Twitter is already uploaded. You can find the Pixiv one here and the Twitter one at topic #16342. You'll need tampermonkey to run them, but it's pretty simple. This way you don't accidentally try to upload already uploaded things.

So, let me begin:

Minimilieu has a good 80 images unuploaded. I will approve every single one.

Driftwoodwolf has over 100 images unuploaded. There's a few early one that I'd be hesitant to approve but everything from pixiv #69946264 forward I will approve. Edit: A small amount have been uploaded, but there's still a large majority left. Edit²: They're constantly updating. Remember to check your favorite artists every so often!

Shimogamo has a lot of multi-image posts, so there's over 100 images there. Aside from the (and this should be obvious) convention info and text-only posts, I'll approve all of them. I love Fate's Gogh.

Pongldr is uploaded infrequently, but there's a pretty large amount there that is unuploaded. I, personally, skip the poképhilia posts, but the artist gets safely approved by many approvers. The mentioned Pixiv Image Search userscript will be useful for this artist, as I will approve all the other ones.

Touchika similarly has a lot of holes in what has been uploaded here, especially their older Original art. Except for their very first image, I will approve all of them. Edit: A few have been uploaded, but plenty left.

Hwaryeok is the last one I'll mention in this first post. They only have 15 posts on Danbooru, but there're well over 300 images there. Aside from their monochrome sketches - mostly their very earliest work - I will gladly approve everything from them. Edit: A few have been uploaded, but plenty left.

Updated

I won't go as far as to say I'll approve everything - I disapproved some posts from the artists I mentioned - but here are some artists with a couple of unupped illustrations:

  • ...;
  • ...;

Tips:

  • The userscripts mentioned by Veraducks are essential, I also recommend sauceNAO's official browser extension to quickly reverse search images;
  • Create a Pixiv account and start following artists that you like/that you see getting posts approved and occasionaly check the works by users you're following page. I follow a lot of artists, so there are artworks that I think are worthy to be uploaded here almost daily;
  • Different platforms can have exclusive artworks. I'll occasionally go to an artist entry and browse their URLs looking for unposted illusts. I casually browse ArtStation, Foundation and Weibo as well;
  • Properly tag your uploads, take the time to tag what you see in the image, give attention to clothing, image composition and color tags. Posts that can't be searched are a disservice to other users.

EDIT: I removed the previous arttags, I don't have much to endorse right now.

Updated

These are a couple that instantly come to mind, I will probably add more later.

hiranko has a good number of missing illustrations, mostly original

https://www.pixiv.net/users/18681500

  • cyenmi3: A lot of their cute Granblue Fantasy stuff is still unupped.
  • maco22: Tons of giant matomes with adorable OCs. There's some old fanart too if you'd prefer that.
  • puteru: Very behind on uploads with a variety of fanart sources.
  • hiiragi_fuyuki: I will happily approve anything posted, although be quick, this artist is a frequent deleter.
  • nekomaru0817: Especially fun if you like tagging weapons or object focused posts.

May you find something to your liking here. And since my fellow approvers seem to be giving out advice, here's my own pearl: disregard this if it's not to your taste. Uploading is primarily supposed to be a fun activity and a way to safeguard art you find pleasing in some way. There's no point in speeding your way to Builder on the back of art you find boring, unattractive, or unworthy.

And remember to tag your uploads, of course. :>

It might not be your intention, but that reads like "please submit artists that can then skip the approval process".
Which IMHO should not be given to any artist.

Except maybe Murata Yuusuke.

Well I made a account for gold but still waiting year later on artist Touchika it's been all uploaded and you forgot to approve two pics. Damn I wish I know I could of uploaded myself.

There's about four more of that artist. A few others have gotten a few in.

Minimilieu has been 100% uploaded from Pixiv, but there are still a few more on their Twitter.

Touchika has been all uploaded only the first artwork is left and two are pending.

There's been a ton of progress here. Minimilieu got completely done, but they're still active and there's new ones from them. Driftwoodwolf is almost completely done. There's only a handful left of shimogamo. Much of Touchika's backlog is knocked out, but there's still plenty more. Similar with Hwaryeok.

To the others who posted:
Make sure to keep people updated with stuff when it gets uploaded. The more provable success we see here the more likely we can push it to more people.

I'll also add buchi0122 to the list. Their pixiv has nearly 20 pages and I'll approve anything up to page 15. Past that you should use your best judgment.

Shimogamo pixiv has been all uploaded only doujin sample is left.

goom (goomyparty) still has a lot of unupped cute Umamusume arts. I'm sure most, if not all of them, are approvable.
Pick the ones you like, and I can guarantee me or other approvers would approve them.

Already handled by Unbreakable.

Chokueji also has a lot of unupped Umamusume arts, mainly chibi arts. Pick the ones you like.
