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.

If we take one step further back, I don’t think the original thread that kicked this all off was about WIP art so much as whether specific styles of OC art are acceptable here. While I might not fully agree with the OP of that thread about the broader umbrella her art falls into, it sounds like it’s welcome here?

Ohhh, I thought this was just about OC. I'm probably gonna stick with no porn here.

hentai-free

There are porn comms for that. I only read that second thread and that did not have the context of pornographic content.

Now if it's just like fursonas or character art that's cool, just no massive dongs and overly sexual stuff is probably a good line.

It didn’t sound like the art she wanted to post was porn, or overly sexual, though I might have misunderstood:

I don't post anything explicit

In that case post away
