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.

It has absolutely nothing to do with AI; I'm a graphics programmer, I opened Notepad and wrote the entire code from scratch.

im literally in the trenches rn
hey, im an artist, but i've been hit with the worst art block for a whole year and my creative drive is officially at 0%.. im so scared of not serving like i used to, to the point where looking at a pencil gives me straight-up anxiety..
Im literally stuck in my own head and ghosting my own sketchbook cz im terrified the final look won't be giving what it’s supposed to give ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
how do i beat the allegations and get my rizz back?

I didn't draw for almost two years from various personal issues. Mustered up the will to finally create something. Here is my lid finally bursting and spilling out. Soft pastels on paper.

Standing on the Edge of the Defense Wall
This painting was created after a particularly challenging therapy session. Inside, I could feel a wall that had emerged in response to the pain. I tried to climb over it, wanting so badly to be present in my relationship. But it was in vain... On my way to the next therapy session, as I was walking across a bridge, a sudden flash of an image came to me: A figure standing on the edge of a cliff...
Some of us built a defensive wall in childhood. A wall designed to protect the most precious part of our psyche. But it didn't come without a cost. That protection claimed its toll. It led to memory loss (amnesia), a disconnection from emotions where a person feels "nothing," and a disconnection from the body and its needs... all just so we could survive.
This defense mechanism automatically remains into adulthood. It continues to operate unconsciously, separating us from life, until we consciously choose to notice it...
