    Hi Artists,

    We love seeing the amazing creativity in this section - your drawings, renders, and designs bring MapleRoyals to life in wonderful ways.

    Before posting, please take note of an important forum rule:

    Highly Inappropriate Content (80 Points)
    “The use of the MapleRoyals forums as a location to advertise any other real world product or service without the express permission of a moderator is not allowed.”
    Full Rules & Regulations

    Why this rule matters
    While we fully support sharing personal artwork, selling real-world items or linking to external shops comes with some challenges that we must manage carefully, such as:
    • Safety & scams - ensuring external links (e.g., Etsy, Gumroad) are legitimate and not harmful.

    • Clarity & fairness - deciding what kinds of goods (prints, figurines, models, etc.) would be acceptable and applied consistently.

    • Privacy concerns - real-world sales often require sharing personal information (addresses, names, etc.), which we cannot moderate or protect.

    • Disputes - Staff cannot mediate issues like refunds, shipping delays, or lost packages.
    Because of these factors, we generally do not approve real-world sales or advertisements at this time. Should we develop a safe and fair process in the future, we will update this post with clear guidelines and a permission-seeking process here.

    What you can share: Your original art, designs, screenshots, renders, and fan works

    Not allowed: Direct links to stores, shops, or real-world pricing

    If you are unsure whether something is allowed, you can always contact a Staff member before posting.

    Thanks for helping keep our creative space safe and enjoyable for everyone.

    MapleRoyals Staff
