Art Share🎨
This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨
Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Make a left-hand path art comm? I wouldn't have much to add right now, but I'd join.
Oh, yes, I've been considering doing this for a while. However, the platform I use (Misskey) to interact with the threadiverse (Lemmy, PieFed, MBin, etc) is not a threadiverse platform; while this specific Misskey fork (Catodon) has been implementing more native support for Lemmy, including creation of communities, this specific feature is still in beta and it's seemingly meant to be available only to the admins of an instance.
So I've been mostly waiting for Catodon's community creation features to become more stable and then, if community creation remains an admin-only feature, proceeding to self-host a single-user Catodon instance myself, because I like having, through a single platform ("One ring to rule 'em all"), both the threadiverse features and the personal microblogging feed I'm used to use a lot, as well as certain Misskey-native features.
For now, my approach have been using the personal microblogging feed especially for (but definitely not limited to) potentially NSFW content (which, in such case, is mostly psychological horror art, sometimes non-erotic nudity given how my art often involves/revolves around Lilith) and, to a less frequent extent, this Art Share community, in this case limited for SFW content.
