The Bounty HTR console is where sponsors and creators move work—designed with
functionality at its forefront, this is the heart of the project, and the testing
ground for our new model of funding projects.

Preview only. No account or work is changed.
Desk
Keep track of your work and what needs attention.
The Desk changes with your role. Creators follow submissions and applications; Sponsors review incoming work and revisions. Drafts and completed projects stay within reach.
Have you ever heard your own voice and then re-recorded the entire demo sitting upright and speaking differently? Just me?
A place for artists to do what AI can't
Bounty HTR takes a firm stance against AI-generated submissions. If you prompted it, it doesnt belong here. We will monitor, verify, and keep in touch with our
artists to make sure they're creating authentic art, but we have to find a fine balance of not pestering and witchhunting. We arent shy about seeing what approaches work and will
be looking to improve our practices to make things better.
Human. Always.
Most creators here are referred and personally known by one another. We are putting in the effort to build a bastion of human creativity, and we urge you to flag and discuss any genuine evidence of AI generations on our site (MY WORK INCLUDED!) .
Keeping it simple...
We ask all our sponsors (those creating the bounties) to lead with what they consider a "completed work," but we also understand that things can get complicated when it comes to taste and preference. Thats why we
are including direct messaging with the option to attatch a chat history and suggested fixes to each iteration/change request. Communication can solve alot, and we want both sides to have every tool to make sure everyone is satisfied.
Community flags and review
But... we know disagreements, AI use, and bad actors can happen. So we're including a community flagging system (mentioned above)
to help streamline reports, reviews, and disputes. Luckily, the bounty system discourages Chargebacks, as internal resolution exists and chargebacks before resolution will be a violation of our TOS... but things happen! Im rambling..

Why Bounties are Better
And What we'’'re building into the deal
Reward
Every Penny
Our fees are low... But not zero. However, the bounty payout is the bounty payout, and we want to make that very clear. Your sponsor covers the payout transfer fee, which (luckily) still puts our average fee as lower than *our competitors*, letting you get a clear idea of what you'll take home
Clear Deliverables
Pay for Results
The bounty description has every option and complexity level to CLEARLY define what the sponsor needs to consider the bounty complete. Both sides know what is being commissioned and how it should be provided. If there is any ambiguity, each bounty has the option to attach a DIRECT MESSAGE HISTORY of described changes, clarifications, and new aspects of the work.
Unfinished bounties
Refunds and retries
Not every bounty will be completed, we get that. Because of this, we want to assure sponsors that your funds will be protected and available for withdrawal even if we have done everything we can to advertise and promote your bounty. We offer a refund of the full bounty amount, and an repost option if you want to update the bounty and try again!
Development
Current Status
The Console is being tested with invited participants. Public access is not yet available, but we are doing what we can to accept new creators, sponsors, and testers.
In closed alpha
Bug fixing, bounty testing, submission overhauling, and code review are being slogged through while our invited participants get to test the platform.
Working on it:
Real-money payments are a priority. Current payment testing uses simulated funds with no cash value, and we want to ensure our security measures are not just great, we want to be the best.
Growing with the community
Social media rollout was started in september and I'm working with the best artists I know to get some icons, profile pics, and other assets so we dont look like a soulless startup.
