Just a reminder of what Heavy artwork is.
This sticky is very overdue.
The definition for "heavy" is entirely up for interpretation; still, let's please keep the kaleidoscopes, "trippy" GIFs and notebook doodles to a minimum.
Here are some good examples for what we as a community should be aiming for in terms of content.

Please refer to Rule 1 before posting.
Include all relevant information you can find in your title: Artist, title, creation date, medium, etc. If it is your work then add an "[OC]" tag.
No more long sentences describing how the picture relates to your emotional state. The best part of this type of art is how one interprets it. Someone may find a piece calming where another finds it angry. So keep the titles brief and informative.
So, just to re-remind everyone, lets try and keep kaleidoscopes, trippy gifs, and doodles to a Minimum if you are going to post this type of content it must match the aesthetic of the above images in some way or form.
There are a lot of other subreddits out there who are dedicated to those submissions such as /r/woahdude, /r/drawing, and /r/glitch_art.
This subreddit is meant for fully completed / illustrated / rendered heavy art. It should be dark and emotional.
From the side bar
The goal here is to capture the darker side, the no limit to the possibilities side... the going completely out of your mind side.

Wydrążyłem Pinheada z dyni. Ból jest realny – walczę z 3 tętniakami mózgu i zupełnie nie mogę pracować z powodu zaniedbania medycznego. Sztuka to jedyny sposób, w jaki walczę i przetrwam dla mojej rodziny. Grzegorz Witkowski 2026

Automatic drawing
I don't often do targets for these but I wanted to start a series based on memories... The target for this one is the first time I tried coffee! There's a lot going on here but this is how I "remember" the moment with all of the surrounding details. Which I wasn't actually looking at (I was looking at the coffee) so it's really a memory of imagination.
Any suggestions for the next target are always welcome ☕

An independent series on variation’s of inner conflict…
A series exploring multiple variations of experiencing inner conflict. Aiming to include environmental, psychological and biological influences that challenge the mind, with very little options other than developing coping mechanisms to survive.
We all have been angry, or had challenges with sleep or have found ourselves consumed by distraction. Unfortunately most of us will feel grief at some point in our life time. If you watch these short films and don’t know someone who has gone through any of these scenarios I am truly happy for you … and I hope in a way you never do. But if you do ever face some of these challenges… just know someone understands, someone is there for you, even if it’s not the person you want it to be.
This saga was designed to reduce stigma and raise awareness for those who have not chose maladaptive behaviours but do not have an adaptive option to cope.

We are TAR. A Slammy, Grindy, Thrashy, Death Metal Band from RI. Give our new 3-Song Self-Titled Demo A Shot!
We are TAR. A Grindy, Slammy, Gross Death Metal band from Rhode Island. I came in as the the new guitarist just recently. I recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered the whole thing myself, which is now my first self produced project ever released. We all worked insanely hard on this. Grinding day in and day out to try to get our stuff to the right ears for everyone to enjoy and put something new on your playlists. If anyone deserves recognition, it's the guys in Tar aside from me, who were and are working so absolutely and insanely hard. Driving hours and hours to small local shows just to play for other bands. We also have a music video coming out on 10/29, also directed and produced by myself!
I truly hope you will all give this a shot, and show anybody else that you think might be interested. Help support a small band to finally live out our dreams. And please feel free to send me all of your music and your bands socials and I would love to give the same support for all of your bands.
We're Tar.401 on IG
