(Even if there is a bit of orange.) That, and I’m also not sure what tags to use to try to search for this, if it’s already been uploaded.

I can’t even remember who the artist is; that would make it easier to search for. Anyone know which storyboard artist drew this? I think I knew once, but I forgot.

I was 100% aware of the reverse image search tool this site has when I made this thread three years ago. I’ve been aware of it all this time. The fact remains that it’s not that great at images such as this, with minimal color and shading.

tl;dr: I’m trying to say, gentle-like, that you should not put this much effort into avoiding an accidental duplicate upload. Yes our reverse image search is flawed, but it’s helpful at least, and using it at all is better than 95% of our users already.
nle;wtr: It’s still our best tool for “has this been uploaded” if the artist tag or some other highly definitive tag is not apparent. Trying to search for a specific image by generic or even middling tags alone is a crapshoot, especially when you’re trying to establish if it is not uploaded. Even if everything was perfectly tagged… which it isn’t.
The bottom line is, if you try the reverse search (higher cut-off for lineart/monochrome/sketch etc. stuff to reduce the sheer masses of images that otherwise match because the logic treats identical swaths of bg the same way regardless of whether it’s detailed and varied or 100% uncolour or transparent pixels because of course it does arghhhh) and it doesn’t find the image, just upload the image, tag it decently, and let the site handle it.
What actually generates workload onto the duplicate queue is the users that don’t even think of using the reverse search and go on uploading binges because they found an artist they like on DA or whatever and just assumed their gorgeous super popular art would not already be postd on here at best available resolution.

Understood, thank you.
That being said, do you know if this image is already on the site? Or may I upload it even though I don’t know which show staff storyboard artist drew it?

I don’t know if it is, and right now I have my hands full with more pressing matters. Please upload it, not knowing specific artists for official production adjacent materials is not a biggie, and you don’t need to tag “artist needed” either. We’ll probably know what animator produced specific memorable expressions and movements in the show, and it’s a bit of a shame but it’s how the industry rolls.

Through the grace of tagging, I found part of it as the only post tagged fork, bucket:

The specific image in your OP seems to be a fusion of two crops from the PDF listed in the source.

Thank you! I guess I can upload the other image on its own, then.
But perhaps someone can help me with this: On the Imgur post, I clicked “edit” to add an artist credit, but for some reason, I don’t see a “save” button to lock in my edit to the description. Why is that?
