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.

It seems like the quickest way to get popular on DeviantArt is to draw sexy art. Not really my thing but I do like when my art gets attention. So maybe they will give Sexy Grinch attention! 🀣

I tried to improve my line quality, while I like the sketchy look of art I also like clean lines so I did a third pass with a larger brush and it turned out pretty well. Not sure the line weight is right but I'm happy with it overall.

P.S. I was trying to paint this when the InstaPot went for blood, maybe it was trying to stop me?

But who did it best? 🀨

The original book and cartoon will always be the OG classics, but dammit if the Carrey movie hasn’t gotten better with age. It is a bonafide classic now.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Agreed! I wasn't a fan at first but it's won me over. As had Elf! I still screen SANTA and tell people they sit on a throne of lies.

Ok, saw this and the first thing that popped into my head was Homer Simpson's voice saying "Stupid sexy Grinch" :)

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

~~Now without the clothing~~

On a serious note, this looks really great!

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Lol thank you! I considered pixelating specific spots but decided not to.

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

You mean in the current image?

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah I thought about pixilating some of it to imply nudity.

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

you know, it would've cost you zero dollars to not post sexy grinch.

Not one red cent.

You have the most controversial post of the day on Artshare.

I can't think of a good joke, but I think it's great and now I have a new goal.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

I looked and I have 10 posts more controversial than this one. The most controversial is one of my favorite stories I tell about my son. It's a sweet moment in his childhood. Wild.

And I had no idea some of what I posted was controversial. I kind of like knowing that!

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It's surprising because this community doesn't get many downvotes. Who downvotes artists, right?

Anyway, I didn't know I could sort my own comments by controversial. Mine is, yep, flagrant use of fuΓ°ark.

The most controversial post is about the antichrist. Lemmy is en pointe... for once.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Oh wild, makes me wonder what folks thought as the vote in either direction.

It's nice to be able to consider other points of view.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Really? That's high honors! πŸ˜‚

And I bet you got this, I can't wait to see what you come up with!

[–] whelk@retrolemmy.com 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Man I used to respect you (This is hilarious)

I shared this with my friend group first, similar reactions. Particularly from the wives in the group πŸ˜‚
