It was discussed a handful of times over the years by staff in here (maybe it was more mods than admins), the intended purpose of the thread’s existence was to use the discussion to specifically try suggesting artists who haven’t been Featured yet. That way nominations could be refreshed with new content.
But it was always known that wasn’t an absolute for a Feature, just something we were trying to aim for.
If that’s not actually / no longer the case, I’ll broaden some of my suggestions, but the past 4-5 years all of my suggestions and 90% of other suggestions were of un-featured artists.

Uhm … the site has been here for long enough that isn’t such a concern any more.
That’s not a bad goal for you to have for yourself, but whether something gets nominated or not really depends on the individual staff member’s approach.
For me, I do look to see if someone’s been featured previously, or at least whether they’ve been featured in the last 3 years. But I also sometimes nominate things regardless of how many times someone’s been featured or how recently.
Sometimes, an artist will “Nail The Moment” and then that’s the right time to feature the image. For myself, those tend to be things like Noot’s New Years images … even if the delay between being voted on and getting featured means they may not show up until long after the new year’s is over
In this thread, if someone finds an artwork by someone who has been featured that is even more amazing and wonderful then please suggest it.

A goal for posters in the thread, at least since I’ve been here for sure, was to try suggesting artwork by artists who haven’t been Featured yet. So all my suggestions have followed this.
I will say this at least, based on your art I think you will have good judgement.

@Chopsticks
I understand how you feel, but honestly, that was my first post I have ever done in this thread despite knowing about the featured tab for a while. I wouldn’t mind recommending other artist work, theres plenty I think are wonderful too.

Well, alright then.
I’d been tempted to share my own art but it didn’t feel right. Getting a Featured Image seems like such a right of passage, it’d appear shallow and pretentiously rude.
And as I said, I’d be concerned if hundreds of users found out and started spamming the thread with their art (and never thinking of anyone else) believing this is “how it works”.

People may submit their own images if they want. Or their own commissions, own OCs, things like that.
Staff no longer does that - once long ago staff nominated their own commissions, but we decided to stop doing that because it didn’t feel fair.
But, posting an image here doesn’t make it nominated. It’s just a pool that staff may look to for ideas.
So, I think it’s ok if people post their own works they are the most proud of. That seems like a good thing, doesn’t it?
(edit: I mean, I sometimes wish I could ask artists “Which piece would you like nominated?” - sometimes it feels like I’m not nominating the “right one”.)

Past few weeks, where are people coming from with the idea this the submission thread for their art to be Featured?
I know there’s technically nothing written against it, but for a thread where users can bring attention anyone’s art they found, it’s a bit awkwardly forward to submit one’s own.
[No longer valid]
I’m afraid if it were encouraged, an ocean of people might come in here flooding the discussion with their own art thinking this is their “big chance”.

Pretty sure using a base probably doesn’t count.
There is 1 base used Featured Image so it could be possible, but caution: the tag was added after it was Featured so it’s possible they didn’t know (or maybe it was mislabeled).
Ideally, Featured Images are meant for honorary spotlight recognition, and if someone else’s work is being recolored/traced, it might defeat the purpose.
.
Featured Images aren’t subject to any submission process. They’re just whatever the staff decides to nominate and vote on.
Sometimes a few of them will browse this discussion thread and pick something out to nominate. It’ll be entirely up to their personal judgement and taste. As I understand it, each participating staff member can only choose to nominate 1 image per voting session, so competition is extremely stiff. Some loyally stand by the same image, renominating it for weeks.
I’m not staff, but I personally wouldn’t recommend self-nomination suggestions. I’m pretty sure it was never their intention to have the discussion thread filled with submitting hopefuls. If an artist posts content worthy of a Feature often enough, I’m sure someone is likely to take notice.
.
But I also wouldn’t be discouraged or hinge on “good enough”. Comics, silly memes, simple pieces, and downright bizarre things can be highly entertaining and have been Featured.
