A "Contract creator X Artist" featured contract batch is a good idea?

I was wondering make a featured contract batch that everyone have to DRAW their thumbnails by themselves (not allow take picture in game,but use picture in game do collage like Hannah Höch is allowed,that will no need painting skill),Also can find artist to help drawing ,both contract creator and thumbnail artist name will appear in briefing…I ask Arti about this idea,he thinks “that could be cool.But doubt people will actually do so (if their drawing skills are limited).” So I decide ask you guys idea,you can share your thought in reply,that will help me a lot

Do you think this is good?
  • This idea is good,I will submit a contract
  • This idea is good,but I will not submit a contract
  • I don’t think this idea is good,How I make the thumbnail
  • I don’t think this idea is good,and will left a reply about why

I like the idea for something different. Would the contracts be art-themed also?

I think the main issue would be people having a way to upload said art if they would be hand-drawing it, without just taking a photo with their phone and it looking not great.

And the problem with getting somebody else to help drawing it is, unless you know somebody talented, it would probably cost a comission which could put a lot of people off.

It not have to paint really good,it can be something funny…just need to shows what contract creator gonna express… just like MS paint from someone never have a skill…

It could be a good idea but I’m willing to bet it’s going to be either an MS Paint stickman festival (good) or an AI pics showcase (not that good) :x

AI pics are BANNED,cuz complex copyright issues

I like the idea but I fear that would result in fewer submissions, not necessarily the good ones you are missing out on.

That’s also what I worry about…So I also need a method to solve this, get 10 contracts and 10 thumbnails by different artists…

I just don’t like it because realistically it’s making figuring out the thumbnail a priority over figuring out the contract, and while I haven’t kept too up to date with contract batches, I feel like I’ve actually recently seen a lot of cartoon and whatnot thumbnails, or thumbnails that just say the name of the batch and don’t actually have a picture, just a colour or something.

I’m not saying the artwork we’ve gotten is bad at all, but I prefer a good ol’ fashioned well framed image of inside the game showing us what the contract is about or a clue. But that’s just me

I’m actually ok with a one-off done this way.
And would love to participate.
Which I stopped doing for the current ones for some years now.


We have, and are going to have, dozens of the ordinary FCs batches.
With the same creators, and kinda always the same kind of contracts, the same spirit.
I love you all, but FCs feel insular.

It would be a fresh aside to celebrate an other side of the community via the contracts.
