DISCUSSION: Allowing artists to share their work here (hexbear.net)

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.

Right. Emphasis should be on making a low pressure place to post stuff without splitting off a separate community. Perhaps with a suggested indicator for posts where an artist wants crit and feedback, I've seen that work well elsewhere.
