Curated art communities stay valuable when members share a level of commitment, whether that means giving thoughtful critique, posting regularly, or taking on paid work. This application lets moderators of a Discord server or another private illustration group learn about each artist before sending an invite.
Applicants share their name, email, artist handle, and location, then describe their experience level, the illustration styles they work in, and the software or traditional media they use. The form asks about client and commission work, requests a portfolio link with space to explain the pieces, and closes with why they want to join, what interests them most, their social profiles, and how they heard about the community.
Two follow-ups appear only when they apply. Artists who have done client or commission work are asked to describe it, and anyone open to commissions in some form is asked for a typical rate range. Applicants who are not taking commissions skip the pricing question entirely.
