Good day and welcome to The Art Alchemist's Guild.

This is a dark place.

Most art will leave you feeling inspired, maybe even joyful — if not a little thoughtful. Not this art.

Most art makes people better, but this place can only make you worse, poorer, stained, and consumed by the craft.

All flavors are welcome to:

Be kind

Do onto others with kindness, curiosity and civility.

Please include images

Remember to attribute other's work, tag NSFW and Content Warnings if necessary, and describe with alt text for our differently sighted pals.

No AI*

This isn't a community for AI *unless you've built it yourself and trained it on your own work.

Tags are Optional

Make 'em up if you need 'em.

On Self-Promotion

We all need to put food in the ferret bowl, but let's not talk money here. If someone asks to buy something, please take it to DMs.

!artmarket@lemmy.world and !artshare@lemmy.world are geared toward self promotion if you want to cross-post.

Lino cut chisels- remember to always cut away from yourself!

Scalpels and other knives- remember when cutting cardboard to not slice towards where your thumb joins your hand!

Hot knife- do not attempt to remove melted Mylar from the tip until the knife has cooled down!

Cadmium paints- clean the sink and drying surface of all remnants before you wash your dishes in the same sink!

Turps and other solvents- keep the windows open and when you feel a bit woozy open them a bit more!

I think the most dangerous thing is my own gormless brain
