Contacting New Artists
When you find a piece of fan art you would like to feature anywhere on the Coppermind, from an artist we haven't worked with in the past, you must first get their permission. To help promote artists in the community, as well as to make the process of crediting and keeping track of artists we've contacted in the past, we create an artist's page under Coppermind: Artists for each new artist. In doing so, we try to get some basic input from the artist:
- First and foremost, their permission to use the art piece in question. This "license" can usually be one of three types - a general permission for us to use anything relevant to the Wiki, a general permission to use anything relevant to the Wiki up until this point (with future pieces usually requiring individual permissions), or a case-by-case permission.
- Online presence. The artists know best which of their websites and social media accounts they use the most and want to drive traffic towards. So we ask. As a follow-up, you can ask which one of their sites they want individual pieces credited to (e.g. if a painting is uploaded to both Instagram and ArtStation).
- Alias. Some artists prefer to be known by their real name(s), some by their nickname(s), or company name, or some combination of these. Ask how they want to be known and credited.
- Bio. Ask the artist if they want to write their own bio/description.
- Contact information. Sometimes we reach out to artists through platforms they barely use. Ask them how to contact them in the future.
Artist's Page
Bio/Description

License
Describe the kind of license or permission the Coppermind has when it comes to current and future works of the artist.
- The Coppermind has permission to use all of the artist's art.
- The Coppermind has permission to use all of artist's art uploaded prior to '''<date>'''. Any art pieces uploaded later than that date require their explicit permission.
- The Coppermind has permission to use all of artist's art, but they would like to be notified whenever a new art piece is featured on the wiki.
Gallery
Include a gallery with all of the artist's pieces we use throughout the Coppermind. Ideally this should be always up to date.
