[Arknights] What is the source of this pool description

Posted under General

I was looking through the Arknights 3rd Anniversary illustration pool because I noticed the posts there are more suitable for official art instead of guest art. Then I noticed this line while editing the pool description:

The last 3 post #5322574, post #5308234, post #5325710 are drawn by artists who are not officially invited.

I didn't bothered a few years ago but looking at it now, what is the source of this information? First of all, fanart shouldn't be put in a pool of official celebratory illustrations. And according to the collection on NGA, post #5308234 is official?

The first post #5314379 is official art for the 3rd Anniversary.
The last 3 post #5322574, post #5308234, post #5325710 are drawn by artists who are not officially invited.
The rest are drawn by official invited artists.

The source of the information is the artist’s own Weibo. It seems that the artist invited by the official will post a forwarding lottery post on his or her Weibo.

By the way, post #5308234 is not official art.
