Frequently Asked Questions
All the Details, kinda
Who and what are STARtists?
RealStartists is a twitter account dedicated for VIXX's Fanartists' collaboration. We called ourself STARtists, which are the combination of STARLIGHT and fanartists. The original group expanded over the last year and now all Starlights who do VIXX fanart are considered STARtists!
Who runs the startists twitter account?
There are a few people who have access to the official twitter but most content is run by a committee of STARtists.
Is there a way to join the STARtists?
All fanartists are welcome to join the collaborations. There is no sign-up necessary. Every collab comes with information on the due date, posting format which includes the tagline and hashtags to use as well as any special info for that collab. Generally the post is as follows:
[RELEASE]
“Tagline”
#Hashtag #STARtists #VIXX @RealStartists
How to reach the community? Is everyone welcome?
You can find a cluster of starlights in our Discord server! We are from all over the world, someone is probably online right now...
Is RealStartists an international (fan)artist group only, or also k-(fan)artists would have been ok to enter?
We have members from all over the world and every walk of life! We would love to have k-stars participate as well so if you're out there k-stars....
What time zone is being used for the release dates?
All times should be KST (Korean Standard Time)
What’s the difference between official and unofficial collabs?
Official collabs are announced ahead of time with specific information on how to join and are generally completed at the end of the month of the collab.
Unofficial collabs are generally just little collabs among the original STARtists’ gc that are more for fun. Usually marked with a [SPECIAL] tag. (Ex: STARtists Anniversary, Secret Santa)
What is the Starlight Spotlight?
#StarlightSpotlight is a hashtag used for Starlight artists to use so the @RealStartists account can find their art and retweet it. Anyone is free to use this hashtag for their VIXX fanart.
NOTE: RealStartists will NOT feature NSFW/Erotic ship fanarts. Any gore or violent drawings must include a trigger warning.
Would a fanart zine be possible to make?
Startist has done a sort of zine before [LINK] but we would love to make more in the future!
