There has been some discussion here about a community where artists can share their work. This community seems like an obvious place for that, but it is currently mostly people sharing art that they appreciate.
I was thinking of possibly doing weekly threads where people could share their art without having it show up in the main feed, but I would also like to open up a discussion on it.
Since I had totally forgotten that I was a moderator of this community since it’s never generated any reports, I also went ahead and set the banner and thumbnail to something random. (Last art image on my phone and the first post ever in this comm). I will pick replacements from this thread that get the most upbears.
Maybe a separate comm named like “oc” for creativity and all kinds of original works? I think it’s important to counter the current information economy of market-based “content”, “consumers”, and “slop” with good old creativity too.
Still think it’s best to keep it all in one place. Most comms are pretty minimally utilized. Plus I think art is art.
Just hit it with a [OC] tag if you want to make it clear it’s yours and are seeking feedback. If I do end up setting the [WIP] mega, that would be a place to share progress without blowing up the main feed with posts. Also just kinda like the dynamic of the megas in general for faster paced communication.
