How we check
Every listing starts with the artist’s claim that they made it. Process files and a closer look from our team add to that.
01
Artists agree to a standard
If you sell here, you agree that your work is made by a person, and that we may ask you about a piece later.
02
Each listing is its own claim
Publishing a drawing means saying you made it. Nothing is pre-ticked, and the claim is kept as written.
03
Process files are optional
Attach sketches or working files if you have them. Most illustrators don’t keep them, and that isn’t held against anyone.
04
Sometimes we look closer
Some listings get a closer look. We ask the artist for whatever they have, and “I didn’t keep process files” is an acceptable answer. A person reads it. An AI detector doesn’t make the decision.
What a label tells you
An artist page says how they were checked in, when they joined, and whether they have a confirmed violation. A listing can say “Process on file” when the artist attached working files. None of that is a score, and none of it guarantees a file is AI-free.
Most listings only have the artist’s claim. That’s normal, because most illustrators don’t keep process files.
If a violation is confirmed
A confirmed authorship or AI-standard violation takes the listing off sale and warns the artist. A second confirmed violation of that kind removes the artist from the platform. Other problems, such as a labelling mistake, are handled with a correction or a note. They are not strikes. The artist has 72 hours to add process files or other evidence. If that window passes, a person decides. The listing is not removed automatically. An appeal is decided by a different senior reviewer. An account penalty pauses during the appeal. A listing taken down for authorship stays off sale until the appeal is decided. Buyers of a listing taken down for a confirmed violation are refunded. This is not a guarantee that any file is AI-free.
If you think something is wrong
Report it. A person reads every report. A report never removes a listing on its own, and the number of reports doesn’t decide the outcome.
