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.

~5cm wide linocut stamp. I don't know which way I'd rather die. Whichever makes me more legendary.

Okay I read the title and was wondering what the fuck. Then I clicked the image and understood but also still what the fuck.

Words spoken, just before the climax.

I read dick breathing dragon and thought I was in for an oglaf comic XD. Nice stamp!

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I need more lore.

Does the dragon hoard anything perhaps?

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

Diamond hoes.

Hmm.

So do the dicks just keep extending forever or is it just a torrential downpour of individual and perpetually spawning dicks?

Or is it just a hidden portal to the layer of hell that is solely people getting their dicks cut off? Just a smattering of dicks and blood, almost like a fire hose of boba tea + tapioca balls β€” only it's dicks and blood. Nah, surely they just extend forever β€” like dick versions of Wukong's staff.

Why would you make me think about this?

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's a portal to the dick dimension, which is like a few dimensions away from the punch dimension.

[–] jtzl@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hopefully Superbad.

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think when one dick ends another begins.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I have follow-up questions...

Never mind.

Edit: autocorrupt.

[–] jtzl@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What are the dimensions? Have you done other linocuts?

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Quite a few. A lot of my stuff is packed in boxes in another city right now, though. I just ordered new supplies to get back into it. This one is about 5cmx4cm.

[–] jtzl@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Interesting. How long did it take, tho??? I gotta know how long you spent carving pix of dix.

Though -- in your defense 5cm x 4cm isn't awful.

I did a linocut of a Picasso painting. I was sooooooo clever, cuz I made a xerox of the painting (Girl Before a Mirror), silk screened that on to a rubber lino block, and then carved the rubber. It took SO long, and I think it's only like 5" x 7".

[–] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can transfer a toner photocopy directly into the lino using mineral turpentine (white spirit). (Or was it paint thinner? Crap, I don't remember). you place the toner side facing the lino and with some soaked rag pass over the paper. VoilΓ !

[–] jtzl@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

I half want to say thanks and half want to urge you to not even tell me about new rabbit holes to go into,.

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I used a lot of them to make my own stickers, which is why they're small.

Maybe took half an hour? I sketched it right onto the block in sharpie and carved from there. I don't do a lot of planning.

That sounds awesome, though.

[–] jtzl@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wow -- that's fast!

I don't know how to do fast linocuts. I've tried, but I just don't think well in that format. I'm a pen and paper type of thinker. I like more elaborate processes for producing final products, but I just draw a blank when confronted with doing it all at once.

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have mental problems, so if I'm in a mood β€” I make the most of it. I envy careful planners with their refined work and less dicking around.

[–] jtzl@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

That's good you stay busy. I used to say "plenty of time to sleep when you're dead," but that's incorrect. Pretty much every religion, etc is about your soul. Your body is very much not sleeping, and I sincerely hope souls don't need sleep -- that's ridiculous.

Bottom line: if you wanna get things done, there's no time like the present!
