===Permissions===
−
Before your art can be used for the game, you must give legal [https://trello.com/c/eFz57Pqi/24-permissions permission] to Habitica to use your art. Follow the instructions on the Trello card and send your permission. It is a good idea to do this before you finish your art, because then you will not have to wait for your contributor rewards. Note that there are special procedures for Artisans who are under 18 years of age.

The [https://trello.com/b/vwuE9fbO/habitrpg-pixel-art Pixel Art Trello] keeps track of the various pieces that are currently needed for Habitica. Go through the cards to find an unclaimed piece that has been requested. If you find one that you would like to do, '''DO NOT''' immediately begin work on that piece. In the past, this hastiness has led to multiple individuals doing the same request, which is a sad waste of energy and great art. Instead, post a comment saying "can I do [ART PIECE]?" A moderator will approve or deny your request and edit the card's information accordingly, so that there aren't ten thousand wolves and ten thousand sad artists.<br />'''NOTE: YOU CAN HAVE ONLY TWO ACTIVE CLAIMS AT A TIME.''' Some exceptions may apply.

Some exceptions may apply.
If the moderators haven't heard from you for a month, be warned, they may give a claimed piece to someone else. Before the piece is opened up again, there will be a call on Trello to find out if you are still working. It is a good idea to check in periodically to find out if you need to respond to one of these calls, especially if you've been absent from the community for a while. Also, if you're going to be really busy or go on vacation or something, just tell the moderators on the Trello! They'll understand.

If you have an idea for a piece of art that has not been requested by the Habitica moderators, that's okay! But before you invest too much time and effort into it, check the [https://trello.com/b/vwuE9fbO/habitrpg-pixel-art Trello] to make sure that the type of art you want to do is currently being accepted. Sometimes, when there is a glut of a particular type of art, it may be closed for submission of new ideas. This has happened for pets and their related images. If the art type you would like to create is being accepted, you should then go to the [https://habitrpg.com/#/options/groups/guilds/a141a5b9-0d69-46cd-93e6-2b76f18bcc54 Pixels in Progress guild] and discuss the idea with the people there. They will gladly help you to develop your idea so that it can be used for Habitica.

When your art is finalized and ready to submit, place the image on an image hosting service, and then post that link to the [https://trello.com/b/vwuE9fbO/habitrpg-pixel-art Pixel Art Trello board] as a comment on the appropriate card. The art will then be given final comments and submitted for integration into Habitica. Artisans must have a Trello account to post comments on the Trello boards.

In order for pixel art to be integrated into Habitica, the artisan must give Habitica legal permission to do so. If you have art that you would like to submit, please follow the directions on the [https://trello.com/c/eFz57Pqi Permissions Trello card]. When Habitica has the art and your permission to use it in hand, a blacksmith will then insert the files to the appropriate place.
