Art bragging and sharing
Posted: 07 Mar 2011 05:40 am
So I asked Ty if she thought this would be a good idea for a topic, and she said she indeed thought it would be! So I decided I'd go ahead and get it started, maybe breathe some interesting new life into the art subforum, too :3
A lot of us get commissioned art or gift art, and there isn't really a good place to show it off on NC! Sometimes we post it to AATOW (at least in the Subeta section) but I think it'd be great to have a good place to share it - especially if it doesn't fit in a specific section!
A few guidelines:
1) This thread is for posting art you receive as commissions, trades, or gifts only! It is NOT for posting art you draw!
2) Please mention the artist that drew your picture, especially if it was a commission! Not only is it good to share credit, but some of the best ways to find great artists to commission is to get recommendations from other people that have bought their art =)
3) I've been told by a mod that spoiler tags are NOT necessary on this thread, since it is clearly for showing off art! If it really becomes an issue, we can always change it later, but.. yes, for now! No spoiler tags!
So to start off, I want to show off my inspiration for making this thread! My awesome friend Caleb (Icarus on Subeta, a lot of people know him!) commissioned one of my favorite artists, ehcs on DeviantArt, to draw my beloved character Leif for me! It was a complete surprise and the picture came out SO gorgeous, I just had to share it!
I am hoping to get a new pet profile coded for Leif on Subeta using this picture because gah, it is SO gorgeous! I commissioned her myself for a piece and as soon as I get it I'll be running here to share xD
