I’m ShelbyEileenCosplay and am really excited to see that textile arts are included in this instance! I’ve been sewing for 12 years and armor crafting for 10, and competing in cosplay contests for 10. It’s the most challenging and fulfilling hobby I’ve ever tried and I love it so much.
From dabblers to masters, obscure to popular and ancient to futuristic, this is an inclusive community dedicated to showcasing all types of art by all kinds of artists, as long as they're made in a traditional medium
'Traditional' here means 'Physical', as in artworks which are NON-DIGITAL in nature.
What's allowed: Acrylic, Pastel, Encaustic, Gouache, Oil and Watercolor Paintings; Ink Illustrations; Manga Panels; Pencil and Charcoal sketches; Collages; Etchings; Lithographs; Wood Prints; Pottery; Ceramics; Metal, Wire and paper sculptures; Tapestry; weaving; Qulting; Wood carvings, Armor Crafting and more.
What's not allowed: Digital art (anything made with Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, Krita, Blender, GIMP or other art programs) or AI art (anything made with Stable Diffusion, Midjourney or other models)
make sure to check the rules stickied to the top of the community before posting.
The sidebar says includes all physical arts, including quilting/fabric/textile based art. The only art isn't allowed is digital. That's why my caption said I was happy my art was included. It's a lot of work to handmake this type of art and it's something that can't be replicated digitally.
This is true. Even though 99% of the content in this lemmunity are paintings and illustrations, I don't want us to be restricted to just those mediums. I do love seeing sculptures and works of basket-weaving posted here occasionally.
But this post violates the 6th submission rule:
I'm realizing at the time of writing this comment that I've probably worded the rule poorly, but each post should include just one work of art at a time so all of the attention can be focused on that piece. In the future you could upload your works individually (but to avoid spamming, keep them spaced out to one post every 24 hours at minimum.)
Thank you for the clarification! I made a collage to keep it one photo, but I will keep it to one piece of art at a time in the future!
For clarification, is it OK to do a side by side of the character vs the crafted art, like this? https://i.imgur.com/UuIIhY6.jpg
Thank you!
Yes that's cool.
