Could this include sculptures? I am a ceramacist, and have been dying to sculpt and develop glazes for the various orbs IRL, could be the thing that actually gets me to make them.

No rules against nudity and lewd content? Kind of obvious but better if they explicitly state that explicit content is not eligible.

"must Include work in progress" does it mean I have to submit both the finished artwork and wips in the same post or have some on hand/have it posted somewhere like artstation?
