The Coppermind takes great care in fostering a respectful relationship with all of the artists whose work is used on the site. At the heart of this relationship is the effort we put in making sure we represent all artists exactly the way they want towish be represented - we ask for permission to use their art, we credit them the way they want to be credited, and we respect their wishes even if they lead to us removing some art from the site.

To keep track of the dozens of artists and hundreds of pieces of art on file, we maintain a list of people we've contact on [[Coppermind:Artists]]. Each artist we've contacted gets a page dedicated to them and their art (regardless of whether they've given us permission to use their art or not; if they haven't, future editors will still want to know about it and not contact the artist repeatedly), and we use this page to keep track of the kind of usage agreement or license we have with the artist, their art we use, and how to get in touch with them.

This help page will aid you in reaching out to new artists whose work you want to upload to the Coppermind, and also aidhelp youout in creating their page.

Before we go over how to reach out to artists, it is best to explain what the end goal is. Understanding the kind of information you would need to be putting on this page will help you understand why and how we ask for it.

If the artist you are communicating with provides you with a bio, '''bold''' their name(s) or alias(es) the first time they they appear. If the bio is written in first person, use the {{t|Quote}} template to give it a more authentic feeling. For example:

Describe the kind of license or permission the Coppermind has when it comes to current and future works of the artist. For consistency, simply copy one of the lines below if possible.

Include a gallery with all of the artist's piecesworks we use throughout the Coppermind. Ideally this should be always up to date.

For consistency, make the gallery <code>packed</code> and give all images in it a height of '''150px''', like so:

It is important to have an up-to-date way of reaching out to artists, especially ones who require explicit permission for each of their art pieces. Make sure you don't accidentally reveal a personal email or another private account of the artist! If you are given anything that's not obviously public (e.g. email address or Discord ID), make sure the artist is comfortable sharing that with the world. Sometimes artists will offer a more direct contact method to the person who reached out to them, but would choose not to reveal that on their page; if this happens, check if the artist agrees to sharing this with the Coppermind Staff, and if they do - contact a Keeper so a record can be made.
