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.

It's cool and all, but I knew it looked familiar...

EDIT: btw, even if it's not original she did a wonderful job on the shading.

Probably should have mentioned that I asked her to paint that for me. It's special to me because she did that for me.

I don't wanna speak for anyone else, but in my experience, viewing something that was made for you by someone you care deeply about makes it a special kind of special.

Rather than just seeing it as "a drawing" or "an image", you start appreciating the various bits and parts of it, like the thought processes that went into certain creative decisions, or the way something was smudged that speaks to how they might've struggled and persevered through that portion of the thing that they made for you.

You're speaking for me. I like your voice on this.
