These are the rates in which you can earn ink & bottlecaps for every to the group submitted art piece - from yourself and/or of your Paralogos or Whifflings.
How to earn Ink and Bottlecaps
To be able to earn ink (Paralogos currency) or bottlecaps (Whiffling currency) from something (art/writing/etc), you must submit it to the Gallery located on the World of Lingua website.
Simply submit it to the Off-Site Currency Rewards prompt retrospectively.
Rules:
- Only the artist of a piece has to submit it to the on-site Gallery for every eligible party to earn their respective currencies (Ink or Bottlecaps) from an artwork/literature/etc, unless this is artwork not made by you and is uploaded off-site, in which case you will submit it to the Off-Site Currency Rewards prompt.
- You will always have to submit a piece to the on-site Gallery to earn default currency, even if it was made for a different prompt (f.e. magic/wisdom/monthly prompt/etc).
- For additional rewards (f.e. magic/wisdom bonus, monthly prompt bonuses, etc) you additionally have to submit a link to the gallery upload of the piece to the relevant prompt.
- If you're using the Off-Site Currency Rewards prompt, please fill out the following form.
- You are free to either a) add the portrayed characters to your prompt submission via the "add character" option or b) use the "Character Details" line in the given form.
- It's not required to do both - doing either a) or b) is enough.
Character Details: (Which characters are portrayed in the artwork? Who do they belong to?)
(if YCH) Reused Work Details: (Which parts of the artwork are reused? f.e. "reused lineart" or "reused pose sketch & background", etc)
(if literature) Word Count:
Ink or Bottlecaps will be distributed based on what category your piece of art will fall in:
1. Commissioner's Bonus
If someone else creates art of your Paralogos or Whiffling (either as a commission or a gift), you will receive the first amount of ink or bottlecaps. (The first number in the range)
2. Commissioned/My Own
If you draw your own Paralogos or Whiffling (for any reason) or draw someone else's (as a commissioned work or part of a trade), you will receive the second amount of ink or bottlecaps. (The second number in the range)
3. Gift Art
If you draw somebody else's Paralogos or Whiffling as gift art (no payment received), you will receive the third amount of ink. (The third number in the range)
