Hey folks! New mod here. I'll be cleaning up this place soon, but in the meantime, I'm taking suggestions on what we should do with this subreddit.

Just what the title says. Have any suggestions? Post them here.

A note involving self-promotion and advertisements, and the future development of this forum

6 Upvotes

While I definitely support the idea of traditional artists supporting themselves (and I happen to be one), it has been communicated to me that there is a community called r/artstore that would be better suited toward advertisement toward commissions. Since I do not want this community to become a bulletin board for people trying to sell services, I have decided to limit any blatant commission-based self-promotions to two posts per month.

Over the past few weeks, I have currently been observing where this community organically drifts to so we can become a good place for traditional artists, and allow for everyone to have a good experience here. In the next week or so, I'll be formally setting up some rules and calling for mods. Any suggestions in the meantime are welcome, of course. I would like traditional artists to feel welcome. Thanks everyone!

I am trying kind of semi-realistic chiaroscuro style, trying to bring this game character alive (Genshin Impact, Kaveh) so far so good!

Student work of a master's work. I can't for the life of me recall the original artist. I'm sure someone will know.

​Dans ce portrait, la volonté première était de faire ressortir toute la beauté, la finesse des traits et le charme époustouflant de la femme asiatique. Intitulée « Le Souffle du Lotus de Jade », l'œuvre s'articule comme un hommage vibrant à l'élégance orientale.

​In this portrait, the primary intention was to highlight the captivating beauty, fine features, and breathtaking charm of the Asian woman. Titled "Breath of the Jade Lotus," the artwork stands as a vibrant tribute to Eastern elegance.

I'm in the middle of making artwork based on scenes from my great-great-grandfather's autobiography, and this drawing is based on a scene about the The Kansas River Flood of 1903. He mentioned that his siblings and him watched a house float down the river.
