<p><strong>Good day and welcome to The Art Alchemist’s Guild.</strong></p>
<p>This is a dark place.</p>
<p>Most art will leave you feeling inspired, maybe even joyful — if not a little thoughtful. Not this art.</p>
<p>Most art makes people better, but this place can only make you worse, poorer, stained, and consumed by the craft.</p>
<p>All flavors are welcome to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Show off finished pieces</li>
<li>Share your hand made or foraged materials</li>
<li>Ask for advice on anything art related</li>
<li>Share articles and how-tos</li>
<li>Post art memes</li>
<li>Participate in weekly discussions and monthly challenges</li>
<li>Promote Free Workshops and Resources</li>
</ul>
<p><em><strong>Be kind</strong></em></p>
<p>Do onto others with kindness, curiosity and civility.</p>
<p><em><strong>Please include images</strong></em></p>
<p>Remember to attribute other’s work, tag NSFW and Content Warnings if necessary, and describe with <em>alt text</em> for our differently sighted pals.</p>
<p><em><strong>No AI</strong></em>*</p>
<p>This isn’t a community for AI *<em>unless you’ve built it yourself and trained it on your own work.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Tags are Optional</strong></em></p>
<p>Make 'em up if you need 'em.</p>
<p><strong>On Self-Promotion</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>!artmarket@lemmy.world and !artshare@lemmy.world are geared toward self promotion if you want to cross-post.</p>
