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 is, by far, the weirdest thing I've ever drawn.

Thank you! I had so much fun making something so weird.

I love how you can see the fingers digging into his face. I never thought about how excruciating it would be to birth someone from your forehead.... Awesome work!!

Thank you! Lines in mythology like "fully grown adult crawling out of someone's head" are definitely meant to be spoken rather than shown, so I enjoyed the challenge.

This is good! If you want even weirder do Aphrodite!

[–] case_when@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

That's a level of weirdness I'll have to work up to...

This deceptively complex. That's a lot of perfectly spaced lines.

[–] case_when@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Thanks! Much of my life seems to be spent drawing closely spaced parallel lines these days...

I heard it in my head with the echo and everything

Love your style of line art, the theme, and his facial expression.

[–] case_when@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Thanks! It's something I've wanted to get out of my head for a while now. I'm sure Zeus sympathises.

I love this! It’s bursting with energy! Zeus’s face is all too relatable for anyone who’s had a splitting headache!

[–] case_when@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Thank you! And for this headache, I'm thinking ibuprofen just won't cut it.

You should look into the death of the demigod Maui (from Moana). If you want to draw something strange, that would definitely fit the bill.

His last trick, which led to his death, involved the goddess Hine-nui-te-pō. While attempting to win immortality for mankind, Māui entered her vagina, intent on leaving through her mouth while she slept. However, he was crushed by the teeth in her vagina, which were made of obsidian. [citation needed]

That's just wild on so many levels.

[–] case_when@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

An excellent use of the [citation needed] tag.
