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.

US Constitution - Lego (media.piefed.world)

Roughly 85% the size of the original document, this MOC illustrates the 13 stripes of the nation’s flag being etched into the parchment and leaving a trail of dripping red blood. The process of methodical destruction is led by an orange separator, which represents an orange separator, and it is aided by a number of red crooks (AKA crowbars), which represent red crooks. To the left are some shrugging blue crooks, which represent shrugging blue crooks to the left. The scale and placement of text and lack of text is as accurate as possible to the actual handwriting on the document.

Wow, this is incredible work

I don’t even have words for the amount of thought, vision, creativity and skill this must have taken.

It is excellent art if this is yours OP it could/should take its rightful place in any gallery.

Thank you! I’m incredibly flattered. It is indeed mine. I was thinking just today of how to go about finding a proper gallery for this.

Side note: Does anybody know why the additional photos are in lower resolution or how to upload them in a way that retains their original resolution?

The best way to do that would probably be hosting the images externally and then embedding them (put the image's direct web adress in the link field for the post). I know a lot of people here use catbox.moe, or imgchest.com. imgur is also an option

Your instance may compress images to make hosting everything more affordable, since instances are run on donations

To embed an image in the body of the post use this formatting: ![](ImageAddressGoesHere.jpg)

Hopefully that shows corectly. If further info would be helpful feel free to ask :) I'm not an expert on anything but I'm happy to try and help

I was able to post the images on a new community on my host instance. It looks like there is ultimately always going to be some degradation of image quality if I use my instance as the host, but this workaround is a improvement over the images being posted onto the main post directly. Thanks for the help!

I'm glad you found something that works better for you ☺️

Hope you have a lovely day my friend!
