WHAT IS A GRAPHICS LOTTO + OTHER INFO
FIRST, the concept of a graphics lotto was made by soulofstaars so please credit them if you make your own!
SECOND, a graphics lotto is non-committal and selective, which means there's no guarantee that your request will be accepted. in order to maintain the quality of my deliveries, i'll only be accepting requests that inspire me or give good results- if i start a request and i don't like how it turns out, i will just stop. it's nothing against you or your stories, so please don't take it personally.
THIRD, i'm a university student who writes/makes graphics in my spare time so there might be a waiting period for your requests, that said i do love to make graphics so it might be a really quick turnaround.
FOURTH, i'll post a preview of all finished requests under their respective sections, but it is your responsibility to pm me for a download link or find your graphic on my pinterest.

IF YOU DON'T READ AND FOLLOW ALL OF THESE RULES, I WILL NOT ACCEPT YOUR REQUEST
if you get the password wrong, i will not accept your request so be sure
✶ ⋆｡˚𓆟 ONE ───── published
your fic must be published. it's really hard to spend all this time and effort on something that may never see the light of day so like...
please.
✶ ⋆｡˚𓆟 TWO ───── display
covers should be displayed for 2-3 weeks minimum, with my user tagged in the fic description. for covers, you should also give me a shout out on your message board after you've received your request, otherwise, it's of no use to me.
gifs, moodboards, and manips (depending on what they're being used for) can be displayed as an aesthetic or put in a graphics library.
please keep in mind that even though these graphics are made specifically for you, they are still my hard work and it's really hurtful to see something you spent so much time on being mistreated or not even used.
✶ ⋆｡˚𓆟 THREE ───── credit
credit is a must and if i make something for you and you display it without crediting me, I'll contact you to fix it and/or you'll be blacklisted. do not steal my graphics.
for covers, i should be tagged in the description of your story (eg. "cover by cassie /@queens-hope"). for gifs and moodboards that are being used as headers/aesthetics in an intro or something, i should be credited in the author's note. for gifs, moodboards, and manips that are in a graphics gallery, you can just tag me under the image.
✶ ⋆｡˚𓆟 FOUR ───── payment
payment comes in the form of a permanent follow on both wattpad and pinterest (if you have a pinterest account, if not don't worry).
you're also more likely to get accepted if i know you've read my fics too, so keep that in mind lmao (it's not a requirement, but it would make me like you more).
the password for the lotto is your favourite book!
✶ ⋆｡˚𓆟 FIVE ───── shop-hopping
while I'm not that fussed about shop hopping, please don't request someone else immediately if you don't get a fast response to your request. it's very rude considering there are hundreds of other graphics lotto you could've requested to begin with but you chose mine; it shouldn't be so easy to compromise what you want out of impatience.
you won't be blacklisted if you do this, but i will lightly glare at your name whenever i see it :|
✶ ⋆｡˚𓆟 SIX───── asterisks
any item with an asterisk next to it ( * ) is required and i will ignore any request that skips out on any of them cause they're stuff that i need to know.
✶ ⋆｡˚𓆟 SEVEN───── deal-breakers
there are a few reasons (other than a lack of inspiration) that i might deny your request, and these include (but are not limited to):
1. weird age gaps between the ocs, it just makes me uncomfy sometimes. like if one of them is 20 and the other is 48, i don't like it.
2. if it's for a fandom or a love interest i don't like, (i hate damon salvatore, for example, and i won't go near him with a ten-thousand-foot pole).
some of these include: the vampire diaries/the originals/legacies in their entirety, Billy Hargrave (stranger things), draco malfoy or tom riddle (harry potter), irl people/actors fics, dean Winchester, Riverdale as a whole, etc.
3. if you're using a problematic face claim. below isn't an exhaustive list but it's a good start.
gal gadot, amber heard, chris pratt, scarlett johansson, holland roden, jensen ackles, colton hayes, rosario dawnson, jeremy renner, megan fox, ansel elgort, armie hammer, elizabeth olsen, ian somerhalder, james franco etc.
i will link a google doc in the comments, but please keep in mind it is just a list and you might not agree with some of the actors that are on (there are a few that i don't agree with) there but it is a good way to get a premise and then do your own research!!
4. nothing annoys me more than making a stellar graphic and then being forced to put a bad title on it, so please just,,,,don't make me do that. things like "the other _____" or "the ____ sister" or just really generic titles that have no essence, it's not fun to make graphics for and it's not fun to display so just trust me and put some thought into your title (I'll even help if you need). you'll thank me later <3
✶ ⋆｡˚𓆟 EIGHT───── be kind
I'm doing all this for free (from a monetary standpoint at least) and for my own fun because i genuinely love making graphics. please don't be the asshole that ruins that joy for someone by having a shitty attitude (this goes for other graphic artists too; if i see you being mean to my friends, i will scream at you). to make sure you actually read all this, the real password is your fav fictional character.
it's not hard to just be nice to people ੈ♡˳
EXAMPLES WILL BE ON THE NEXT PAGE AND REQUEST FORM WILL BE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE SECTIONS AFTER THAT
make sure you request what you'd like on the right page AND under the right subheading. graphics will be broken up based on what kind they are (eg. gifs= title gifs, gif sets etc.) make sure you put it in the right section or specify what kind cause i won't always chase you up if i'm unsure.
THESE ARE SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU GET ACCEPTED!
doing these won't make it a guarantee, but they will make me more likely to be inspired by your request!
✶ ⋆｡˚𓆟 ONE ───── inspiration
in my previous lotto, i asked for a lot of direction with requests but in this one i'm going to ask for less. obviously tell what you're looking for, but i want the creative freedom to experiment and i can't do that if i'm trapped in a myriad of requirements for your graphic. if there's specific things you want (like a colour scheme, quote, hair colour etc.) you can specify that but please don't make your request too constricting.
i'd much rather you stick to a broad idea than anything specific. a great way for me to get an idea of what you're kind of going for is by linking other graphics that you like—i will obviously not make a copy of whatever you link, it's just so i can get an idea of what you like.
you're welcome to site my graphics as inspiration, and i will link my pinterest in the comments!
✶ ⋆｡˚𓆟 TWO ───── resources
it's obviously much easier to make good graphics when you've got a lot of resources to choose from in terms of face claims and fandoms. i don't need a heap, but i'd preferably like to not have to go to the depths of the internet to find resources.
✶ ⋆｡˚𓆟 THREE ───── fandom
my primary fandom is obviously star wars and i love making star wars themed graphics (and i will continue to make them, don't worry), but i would really like to diversify so i'm going to be more likely to pick requests that are different to what i usually do.
✶ ⋆｡˚𓆟 FOUR ───── be interesting
honestly all i can really say is that i prefer to make stuff for interesting and different fics. stories with good titles and storylines and dynamics and stuff like that. i want to know that you've put effort into your story before i put effort into your graphics.
BLACKLIST
ilaurencohen ─── gave them their cover and they blocked me for some reason
˚✧ HELLO, MY DARLINGS ˳
as usual, most of the rules don't apply to you and i will do anything you want!
the one thing i will say though, is that I'm still going to enforce the new standard I'm holding myself to—as VIPs, i will seriously attempt your every request but if i end up with something i'm not happy with, then i won't go through with it unfortunately (but I'll obviously tell you that).
there will be a special "VIP" line under the request sections for you, so i can tell you apart from the others
