Are badge artists part of staff, or are their services commissioned/requested by staff?
They are indeed part of the staff! The fine members of the Artist Pool contributed art to badges; nine pieces, I believe.
Hmmm.... So there's no way to contribute independently?
No one may contribute artwork unless they are a part of artist pool staff. You could join the artist pool and become official Fanime staff, but that requires a commitment of producing several pieces of artwork as assignments get handed out throughout the year. There is no way to do a one-time contribution (sole exception: unless you're a Guest of Honor).
Since that's the case, I might apply for the Artist Pool in the future.
Thanks for clearing that up ^^

How can I contact whoever I need to contact to ask to join Artist Pool Staff?
Thanks!

Feel free to shoot an e-mail to the head of artist pool. Her e-mail is amanda at fanime dot com.
If you haven't noticed, the name of the artist pool head is Amanda :wink:

Sidenote: You can always try [department]@fanime.com in the future (remove any spaces in the department name). (division)@fanime.com
doesn't work though (unless the division is the same name as a department, i.e. Marketing). :)

Yeah, that's what I tried before ^^"
I'll try emailing Amanda directly, though. Thankies~
