Art Shareπ¨
This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨
Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.
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).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content 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 or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
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.

Cool! You inspired me to try something like that. I'm gonna try a slanted cursive modelled from my own writing.
Thanks π
I haven't done this all too many times in life, but I've been bending wire ever since I was 5 years old, but usually much thinner wire for electronics and such. I started occasionally bending names out of paperclips back when I was like 25 or so.
Paperclips are a lot easier, with the right tools at least, for obvious reasons. I only started with coathangers like 5 or 6 years ago during lockdown. It's definitely a more rigid material, and thus far takes me a couple different types of pliers you'd usually find in a garage toolbox.
Currently I'm using a pair of hefty needle nose pliers plus parallel pliers similar to channel locks. If I do start getting some actual business out of the hobby, I'll see what other useful tools I can find at Lowes.
I've asked folks in advance if they want to write out their own name so I can try to follow their pattern, but so far people I've done this for are happy enough with my own writing that they just give me their proper spelling and tell me to just do it my own way.
Good luck to you fellow artist, I'd love to see an example or two of whatever you come up with eventually...
Thank you and all the best to you.
