drawcrowd sample
This tag indicates that an image sourced from Drawcrowd is sampled, and is not the original image. A Drawcrowd sample can either have lower image dimensions, or have the same dimensions but truncated bit-by-bit quality.
Drawcrowd does not work with the bookmarklet and you must manually alter part of the image URL (typically /large/) to /original/. The download and expand buttons on Drawcrowd are deceptive in that the original is usually kept hidden to mitigate bandwidth costs. If the /original/ returns a file not found error, then the /large/ image is accepted as the original.
It is Danbooru policy to either replace samples or delete them. See image sample for more information. See howto:drawcrowd for how to upload images from Drawcrowd correctly.
Other Drawcrowd errors
- Bad Drawcrowd ID: for when any ArtStation post or picture are no longer publicly available
- MD5 mismatch: for when none of the sizes match Danbooru
