This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

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.

This particular coathanger happens to have a nice shiny black coating on it, and I didn't want to scratch, damage or remove that coating.

So I bent this one 100% by hand, with no pliers or anything, just my hands, fingers and muscles. And yes, it was extremely challenging, I'm surprised I didn't get any blisters and only broke one thumbnail in the process.

Note that I managed to get this one to stand up and balance on its own without a stand. I did that by ever so slightly curving the final result, the center is about 5mm closer to the viewer than the ends.

Interesting!

I guess my idea sucks.

Na my dude, don't shame yourself like that, your idea seemed like it might make sense.

So I tried exactly that, for science. Sorry it didn't work, but it drove me down a new rabbit hole on how to temper and blacken iron.

Guess what? I succeeded in learning metal tempering instead..

That’s awesome!
