The "on model" tag is being tragically underused

Less than 3,000 on the site, when I feel like it's a pretty crucial tag. Seems like it's mostly being used for Pokemon and animal stuff right now. I've been going around trying to apply it more, but I can only do so much on my own.

So, PSA: don't forget the On Model tag!

What exactly does the "on_model" tag mean or refer to?

Adhering to the model sheet used to ensure consistency and accuracy within the official media.

Fair enough, and the subtle variations artists incorporate when drawing other artist's characters explain why it is a somewhat rarely used tag.

Yeah. Porn artists aren't exactly known for drawing things accurately.

Like hair that's supposed to be indigo being rendered in purple, blue, or black, or eyes that are supposed to be magenta being rendered in pink or purple, for starters.

Well, within the definition given on this site, it specifies that as long as the proportions are correct and the artstyle is *close enough,* it qualified. Hence why I think it should see more widespread use. And I think that's something a lot of people are looking for, myself often included, so it's a shame that it's so difficult to filter for.

If you plan on populating the "on_model" tag, try searching "solo -rule_63 -alternate_* -aged_up" to cut the numbers down a little. Adding in "rule_63", "alternate_breast_size", "aged_up", etc. as you go will help.

Good thinking, cheers. And I really hope more people start using the tag where applicable.

Okay, I'll add this tag to a few.

Weirdly, around the time I posted this topic, it seems to have been moved from being a meta tag to a conventional tag. Less useful.

I only like on model art of characters.

Meta tags get incorrectly converted to general tags with some regularity. You can always change it back. If you have to change it back more than twice in as many days, report the situation to a moderator.
