So the image in question would be have to be removed unless the artist themselves post it?

Site and Policy » Policy change: UIs as signs of WIPs » Topic Opener
This is a pretty significant policy change, and I would like to air it before it’s agreed to.
Consider this image:
It’s recently a trend for artists to simply screenshot their art programs. (It’s faster than saving and usually easier than exporting, anyways.) However, this is also used for a lot of art that is not actually intended to be posted to galleries anywhere, or for sketches that won’t get finished and published.
I’m thinking about changing Rule 1 to mention these workspace screenshot WIPs as explicitly outside the realm of what may be uploaded on AMS. To wit, changing:

Do not upload art that is not publicly released. Patreon content, folio content, art packs, private commissions, pictures from private Discord servers, WIPs not intended for publication, adoptables, and other forms of paid content may not be uploaded here.

The governing clauses here are “publicly released” and “WIPs not intended for publication.” If you’re the artist posting your own workspace screenshots, then you have the ability to post your own workspace screenshots - you can always publicly release your own art. If you’re posting some piece of art where it’s interacting with the interface by design (e.g., Sonic commenting on the artist), then it’s not a WIP, it’s part of the design. But it’d keep artists from having to worry about every throwaway screenshot they show their friends.
