This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

All the arbitrary downvotes on my last paintings encouraged me to do another! Thanks for motivating me to create my favorite painting yet!!

"The division of society into a small, excessively rich class and a large, propertyless class of wage-workers results in a society suffocating from its own superfluity, while the great majority of its members is scarcely, or even not at all, protected from extreme want. This state of affairs becomes daily more absurd and – more unnecessary. It must be abolished, it can be abolished." - Fredrick Engles 1891

I despise people who downvote on subs like this. If you want to comment with constructive criticism, I think that's fine. But to downvote people who are not only adding content to Lemmy, but sharing their personal creative journey is a douchebag move.

ETA: I really enjoy your artwork. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks!! Glad you enjoy my artwork. I love painting so damn much, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to start selling my work to support my habbit if my partner and I lose our rent controlled unit this summer. She got a modest raise that will likely bump us above the maximum earnings for our unit and require us to pay $500 more a month if we want to stay in the same area. Really starting to let my dissatisfaction with Capitalism shine through my work as a result since I really dont want to sell any of my work. 🫠
