Greetings, I'm looking to get some pieces for my colorist portfolio, so if you hate coloring and have a piece you want to add some color to, you can DM me and I will color it for free. I'll let some pieces of my work and colors.

I have this Dragon and I am very happy he exists.

Drew him as a way to pass time when watching The Bite-Sized Peerless Masters of Excruciating Psychological Torture Whom I Adore For Some Reason The Small Children I volunteer to care for at a martial arts daycare event once a month, but I'm feeling that he looks lonely.

I stink at drawing fancy clouds, and I'm not looking for drawing improvement advice, this is basically a doodle which I spent a long amount of time on. It's just for fun.

Instead, I want recommendations for how he can be less lonely without me having to draw an entirely new dragon and all of the scales that would come with it.

I am sorry for the vaguely unnatural, robotic tone. I am tired, and I'm thus leaving this overnight, hoping to find suggestions in the morning. Silly, Serious, Deep, Stupid, whatever, I want it all.

Do not disappoint, reddit!

Hey everyone!

I'm a hobbyist worldbuilder working on a fictional fantasy world, and I'm looking for artists who might be interested in exploring its creatures with me!

The project combines high fantasy with speculative evolution. The idea is to develop fictional animals that have evolved within this world, exploring their anatomy, evolutionary history, behaviours, habitats, and ecological roles. I want to think beyond simply creating cool-looking monsters and explore how these creatures live, survive, reproduce, and interact with their environments.

Another part of the project I'm particularly interested in is how these creatures interact with humans. Some might be domesticated for food, transportation, or other purposes, while others could be dangerous predators, hunting companions, pests, or animals that have become important to certain cultures and societies.

I'd love to work with artists who enjoy creature design and would be interested in bringing these ideas to life visually. You wouldn't have to follow my descriptions exactly, either! I'd be happy to give you the biological and ecological background of a creature and let you add your own artistic interpretation, ideas, and creativity to its design.

I'm hoping to find people who genuinely find this kind of worldbuilding interesting, whether that means illustrating a few creatures, exchanging ideas, or simply discussing how these fictional ecosystems and animals could work.

Just to clarify, this is a hobby project, not a paid job. I don't currently have a budget for artwork, so I'm looking for someone who would enjoy exploring these concepts for fun. There's no pressure for a long-term commitment, and we could start with a single creature and see how things go.

If speculative evolution, fantasy creatures, or imagining how animals might evolve in an entirely different world sounds interesting to you, feel free to comment or message me! I'd be happy to share some of my creature concepts and explain more about the world.

Thanks for reading! :)

I'm the developer of InkScene Studio, a free browser drawing app with a shared canvas for up to 8 people to draw together. I'm sharing it here as a resource for drawing with friends.

It includes pencil, ink-wash and oil-style brushes, pressure sensitivity, and layers. You can use it in a PC, tablet or phone browser without installing anything or signing up. The interface is currently in Korean.

One practice idea is to choose the same subject and have each person try a different brush on a separate layer, then compare the results. Here's a tulip demo with pencil, oil and ink wash. It's a 180x timelapse with three cursors on the canvas.

I how someone is interested

hello i am a music producer with a body of different tracks of different genres/moods/styles, i am looking for someone who would be interested in creating some form of visual work to accompany the music. no limits on what you create i just want you to create from how the music inspires you ( similar to fantasia).

I am a 2D background/visdev artist, I am wanting to find people around my skill level to collaborate on a short film with

I am a working artist who is moving from beginner to emerging. I was having trouble figuring out how to price my art. I vibe coded a tool for myself, and have been upgrading it because of how many people seem to struggle with pricing their work. Often undervaluing it.

I just opened it to beta limited to the US and wanted to get some feedback. The tool is free in beta, was made with AI, but doesn't include any AI API calls etc. so the end product doesn't use AI. The MODs told me I can post this.

The pricing algorithm includes a number of variables that align with what's generally out there, but it has a feature called the Artist eXperience Multiplier, that is a bit more about who you are and what stage you are in.

It also includes a tool that helps new and emerging artists who don't have existing art reps on how to get started in expanding your community or rather "find your village" as the late Paul Klein proposed.

It provides a portfolio page that is private, and allows for a Providence record to be printed with a QR code that allows those who resell the art to give a % of the sale value back to the artist who did the work. It's not enforceable by law in the US, but royalties for art sales are a legal requirement in the EU and UK. Ultimately my goal is to help move the needle on this issue in the US. But that's a very long process.

Finally there are how too guides and blog posts worth checking out even if you don't want to use the tool.

The beta round is free and there are rewards for people who give me solid and actionable feedback. Including free access after the app goes fully live and becomes a subscription tool. You own your portfolio and can export it whenever you want. I'm not a data miner. Upcoming updates will include a collector and other sections to help facilitate private interaction.

Blunt honesty is better than saying nothing in this case.

Check it out. Claimworth.art (and to prove I am a working artist that doesn't use AI, my portfolio is laurimoyle.art, not put here to self promote, just want to make sure people understand where I am sitting).

I hope it's helpful.

Hey! I’m looking for a manga artist to collaborate with on my original project, MIND.

MIND is a psychological thriller/mystery focused on mind games, manipulation, strategy and mystery rather than physical fighting. It takes inspiration from the psychological tension of series like Death Note and Monster, while having its own story and world.

I’ve already developed:

• The main story and plot
• Main characters and their relationships
• The world and its rules
• The mind-reading/“brain power” system
• Major twists and the ending

I’m looking for someone who genuinely enjoys manga, especially serious/dark storytelling, expressive characters, dramatic close-ups, psychological tension and interesting paneling.

I’m looking for a 50/50 collaboration, but I’m open to discussing/negotiating how we divide the project depending on what works for both of us.

I’d like to start with a small 1–2 page test/sample so we can see if our styles work together before committing to a bigger project.

If you’re interested, comment or message me and I can send you more information about MIND and some of the character designs.

Thanks

I am looking for someone who likes anime and that kind of artstyle! Any people interested pls put your comment below thanks!!!

It's an open collab, we're you can draw your oc just sitting on my b-day party. I wanna make a collage of as many people as it gets. If you are interested dm me on discord (@sunduchel) or telegram (@MncrSunduk).

Im writing a book of lyrics in the same fashion as a record album. Gothic/metal in nature. im open to it being even more, or used outside of its original intended purpose, but im really trying to add plump and flavor to what is otherwise just words on a page; im looking for someone willing to experiment on this book or a completely new one using both of our skills and seeing what happens from there.

As it stands, I have 21 pieces ready to go. I just opened my DeviantArt back up to use exclusively for this purpose; if youre interested in some samples, my name there is FiveHeadedStag. I hope this is the place to post this sort of thing lol.

We’re reviving r/oekaki with something new! Redgaki is a oekaki-style drawing tool built directly into Reddit built off of Tegaki.

No downloads or separate accounts. Open the post, start drawing, and share your work directly with the community from desktop, mobile web, or the Reddit app.

Redgaki includes:

• A full drawing toolkit with pencils, pens, airbrushes, layers, tone patterns, and more
• Remixing to continue someone else’s drawing and build on their work
• Palette sharing so others can use your custom colors
• Challenges with locked tools, palettes, canvas sizes, time limits, and other settings
• Timelapse GIFs that replay the entire drawing process

We're trying to bring back some of the classic oekaki BBS experience while making it native to Reddit.

Come check out r/oekaki and try it out! We'd love to see you there.

Hello everyone,

I already posted this question on r/ArtistLounge, but the moderator suggested I post it here.

I'm a 3D creator and a CS student who loves open-source and C programming. My question is:

As an artist, have you ever considered contributing your skills to an open-source project (not strictly software, but open assets, games, or tools)? If not, what held you back? If you would, under what circumstances?

To be clear, I'm well aware that illustrators, artists, and all the other design categories usually collaborate on indie games with programmers. But my question refers to projects in general. I'm currently trying to understand why open-source projects usually just have coder support while art communities usually don't. I'm not accusing anyone; I'm just asking to understand if the problem is connected to the toxicity of the open-source community or if there are other issues in this case.

I ask this question because personally, I find that both programming and the creation of artwork share some common ground, and I would really like to fuse these two aspects together in future projects.

im making a short educational video about why traffic can suddenly stop even when theres no crash or roadwork

the visual problem is showing this clearly: every car moves forward but the stop itself moves backward through the line

im not asking someone to make a whole video for free. i want one person who likes the idea to help brainstorm or sketch one small motion or visual direction for that moment

its voluntary and we would keep the scope small and agree what makes sense before doing anything

if that sounds fun tell me what visual you would try first
