PROJECT STARCALL
Create | Give | Inspire
I am the creator of Project Starcall, and I'm happy to finally announce that the once personal project has now been extended to the community.
WHAT IS STARCALL?
Project Starcall is an art request site unlike any other. Inspiration comes from all over and is placed into the hands of our artists. They choose what to create and from that muse deliver quality artwork to requesters for FREE!

Who is welcome?
Both artists and non-artists may join! We want a healthy collection of each to inspire trading ideas and creating artwork! With that being said, this is also a place for writers, musicians, or any other type of artists – not just visual artists!
What’s in it for requesters?
Here, requesters of the community can have their ideas brought to life for free. In exchange, you’re helping the project grow and allowing an artist to exer



It's a call to all artists...
CREATE. GIVE. INSPIRE.

STARCALL: What is it?

Starcall is my ongoing request project. I wanted it to be more than just open requests. I wanted it to have a name, to feel real, to feel tangible. I want it to be a project that I can extend to the rest of the artists here in hopes to bring more attention and life to our generous community. With the unbelievable success of Junequest, and the loads of amazing creative and inspiring requests that I received, I'm on a mission to just keep on giving.

There are tons and tons of people out there who would love artwork, but simply can't afford it. This is not to say that artists should not be paid for their work, or that anyone has permission to demand artwork for themselves without giving anything in return. However, I encourage the act of giving and spreading endless kindness. My goal, in my spare time between freelance work, is to spread a bit of cheer by making artwork for individuals that I find exceptionally kind in the art community. In order to keep this project going, I've started a patreon. It's you guys that make this all possible. It's kindness that makes this possible.

On that note, I want to continue to encourage the act of giving. I hope by fulfilling your requests that you choose to also create, give, and inspire others! Please use the comments below to mingle with other artists; start your own trades, or offer your own requests!

STARCALL: The Rules

• Do not submit your request in the comments on this journal. It will be ignored unless you fill out the proper form.

• I have received many requests! Please practice patience if you are interested in receiving a request done by me.

• Please do not submit the same request more than once. It will not help your chances.

• Please do not beg or constantly ask me about your request. All updates are posted on twitter.

• Be active and friendly on DA. Inactive users who submit requests will not be considered.

• Requests are suggestions, not demands. I will choose characters that I enjoy or inspire me. If you wish for a guarantee that your project is chosen, please consider commissioning me. Otherwise, your project getting chosen is left up to chance.

• You are allowed to make a request regardless of whether or not you support my patreon.

STARCALL: FAQ

Are you the only artist working on this project?
I am the creator of Starcall, and the completed projects you see here are all done by me. However, if you go on to read the comments you will find other like-minded artists who may also be offering requests! Please give them some love as well!

How do I submit my request?
If you have read this far, chances are you should already know. If you still do not know how, please reread the journal! Those who do not follow the rules cannot be considered.

Are Starcall requests free?
These requests cost no money at all. There is no obligation to do anything beyond sharing this journal if you are interested in receiving your character in my style.

I don't have any money to support patreon.
That's fine! You are not required to be a patron in order to get your request fulfilled. I want to make sure quality art is available to everyone.
However, patrons have a separate request bin that is prioritized!

How do I know you received my request? I have never submitted requests this way.
My method of taking requests might seem a little odd, but using google forms is a great way for me to keep track of everyone's project. If you clicked submit, then your request absolutely went through. I read each and every one of them; your awesome characters and kind words never go unnoticed. You can rest easy knowing your project is on my list.

My request was submitted a while ago, and you're still looking for more submissions. Does that mean you're not going to choose me?
Requests are chosen based upon what inspires me on a day to day basis. Inspiration is a fickle thing, and can rear it's head at any time. That could be tomorrow, that could be months from now, that could be next year or it could be never. If you're feeling discouraged about not being chosen as soon as your request was submitted, please keep this in mind! Life is always full of surprises, and you might just find that one day I'll be standing here, offering your finished request to you!

When will I know if you chose/finished my request?
If you're curious about which request is next, or would like to guess at the next WIP, please follow my twitter! If your request is chosen, it will be posted here on DA (along with my other social media) and you will be tagged to notify you. I will never claim the characters as my own.

Can I submit more than one request?
Yes, but please keep others in mind - you are not the only person submitting. If someone is excessively submitting requests, I will delete their entries entirely. Just because you've submit more requests than everyone else does not mean I will choose yours. In fact, I likely won't if you're greedy. Decide carefully before submitting.

How can I help make Starcall more successful?
There are a number of things you can do! I'm honored you want to help. First and foremost, you can help spread the word! Open requests of your own, encourage the amazing act of giving, and spread more love in the art community! Sharing this journal with a friend can be just as powerful as anything else in keeping the project live!
You can directly aid the production of my request projects by supporting me via patreon! Here the community offers me a donation to allow me to make this project possible.
For those who are unable to make a financial commitment, I take single donations here. No matter your method of support, all is appreciated.

I want to share your artwork of my character on my DA page or other social media. Is that okay?
That is absolutely fine. If you repost, I ask that you give credit where it is due. Please add this to your description of the uploaded image:
