Important update for The Growing Artist Aggregation Community! Take some time to read if you're curious!

Some of you may have noticed already, but I have made a few changes to the community that will hopefully improve your experience!

Details below:


Context (You may skip this part if you're in a hurry):

You may or may not already know, but I am the Co-Creator of the Growing Artist Aggregation and I help out with featuring and overseeing the content within it, as the Creator has been inactive for some time.

I've noticed some channels that are underutilized, redundant, or weirdly categorized, as well as channels that could be added to help boost views on posts that could otherwise be drowned out in the general category.


Changes:

I've listed notable changes and the reasonings behind my choices below.


"Commissions and Advertising" a NEW CHANNEL has been added.

  • I understand that many of you are trying to advertise your services. To assist, this channel was created for any adverts about commissions or other art-related services!

Both the "Collaborations" and "Art From Your Games" channels have been archived.

  • The former was archived due to underuse.

  • The latter was archived due to redundancy. Any art from games is welcome on any channel that represents the piece's type, like 3D Art and Pixel Art!


Other changes:

"Art Related Posts" and "Art Contests!" have been renamed to "Art Talk" and "Art Contest Postings" respectively.

  • More of a personal change than anything, but it is also to encourage everyone to put their creations into a more specific Channel to clean things up!

Channels have been shifted so that more community-oriented ones are at the top.

  • That way everyone can access it without scrolling as far down.

Rules and descriptions have been updated for clarity.


Do not hesitate to comment under this post if you'd like to raise any concerns about the changes, or have other feedback you'd like to share (like requesting art for channel banners). It would really help out a lot!

Thank you for taking the time to read, have a wonderful day. Go forth and create something awesome!

One last update before the drop πŸ‘οΈ

Color? Check.

Shading? Check.

Final touches? In Progress...

Edit: OUT NOW!! https://gamejolt.com/p/newly-released-unitas-and-r-sticker-pack-…

Domina Blowelive Speedpaint

If there's one thing I learned about rendering this time around, it's that I should REALLY find a way to be more efficient. People can finish this stuff in like 6 hours! How can I do that???

Sharing some Sticker WIPs...

The last update was...a month ago??? Why does time pass so quickly??

Everyone here is so patient with me I want to make sure this is worth it for everyone. Thanks for sticking around <3

GB (Mario's Madness V2) It's more of a doodle tbh.

Experimental WIP

One day I'll try a fullbody painting, but it'll require knowledge I don't have yet. Being able to render portraits in itself is an achievement for me! I'm just pushing the boundary more with the colour choice and lighting.

Sneaky peak!

I’m onto the animating part now, probably not my favorite part of making art, but the outcome is almost always worth it.

Besides animating, I’d like to work on making my pixels look less busy and use clusters more effectively.

The sequel to my previous post that would've been one post but I hadn't finished it at the time πŸ’€

Serious art coming soon, I'm just recovering from something πŸ™ I'll be back

Here's the Carpaccio Speedpaint as promised!

I'm excited to share this because it'll give you a peek at my new rendering process!

Creating something like this was not possible for me a few months ago. I want to keep getting better in the future!

Doodlin', Sketchin' and Messing with Ink :]

Domina Blowelive - Mashle Fanart

Experiment success! This is Domina but with cool artistic lighting instead of his regular pink hair. I aimed to have strong contrast through colour and focus on the eyes.
