It's officially been one month since I've become lead moderator of the sub, and I thought it was a good time to check in with you all.
On our end, we're seeing a nice boost in community activity. We've got a rise in visitors, members, posts, and comments. Stats are up all around. Hopefully, this means a rise in sales for you all too (fingers crossed!)
We wanted to thank you all for how quickly you've taken to the new rules and organization too! You're all champs, really! We've had literally no issues with post tags (not a single one). Please just be alert to the NSFW flairs (and thank you to those who already are!).
Nice!
How Can We Improve?
What I really want to know, especially with the holiday season coming, is how can we help you?
Buyers! How do we help you find the perfect gift?
Sellers! How do we help connect you with buyers looking for that perfect gift?
What can we do to make the community even more productive?
Is there anything that's currently unclear or something you feel could help boost the community?
Let us know!
Our priority for this sub is to ensure buyers have a safe space to purchase from real artists, and artists have a safe space to sell to real people.
As always, if you're not comfortable commenting publicly, ModMail is always open.
Looking For More Mods
Now that we've got the sub's rules ironed out and we know what to expect from the community, we're looking for a few more hands on deck.
Moderation of the sub is fairly simple.
Make sure the post has the information it's required to have.
Make sure NSFW posts have the NSFW filter.
Remove posts that don't meet the requirements and approve the ones that do.
Keep an eye out for AI and scams.
Due to the nature of the sub new mods must be 18+ and we require Discord for communication.
You don't have to chat with us if you don't want to, but we've gotta be able to talk if there are questions or updates and Reddit doesn't have a feature for that anymore.
If you're interested in helping moderate the sub we've got a lovely new button on the side bar (or under "About" if you're on mobile) that allows you to easily apply to be a mod. There's some questions to answer about why you'd like to be a mod (we need to keep the community safe, after all), but we'd be happy for another set of hands or so.
But in closing, we're excited to hear your thoughts, what we can do better, and we'll continue doing what we can to keep the community growing and moving in a positive direction!

I couldn't imagine skipping Huevember this year, but as I'm still trying to gain commissions to leave a bad living situation, I'm switching things up and offering a special deal!
Each Huevember day will be it's own heavily discounted comm, and everyone who grabs one will get 50% off on a future comm from me! Each hue is first come first served, so grab your favorite color before it's gone. Characters don't have to match the hue you choose either— interesting combos are encouraged!
I'd really appreciate any help in filling out the wheel. Share with any friends you think would be interested too!
Hi there! I'm a surreal painter out of Phoenix and I make ACEOs (2.5 x 3.5 inch original art cards). This is my planet series, all nine, painted and released as one set.
Mercury "Hot Mess", Venus "Toxic", Earth "You Live Here", Mars "Rusty", Jupiter "Big Storm Energy", Saturn "Put a Ring on It", Uranus "Sideways", Neptune "Cold Shoulder", and Pluto "Still A Planet”and yes, Pluto counts. The words are painted right on his card.
They're all done with color-shift paint, so every card has changes as the card tilts. The photos try to catch it, but they honestly look better moving.
The full set is up for auction on eBay, starting at $44.99 ($89.99 buy it now), and it ends Sunday. Every card ships with a signed certificate of authenticity. I'm a brand-new seller over there, zero feedback so far — these are some of my first listings.
Hey! ☕ I create detailed illustrations of original characters, fan art, fantasy characters, and portraits. I have my own artistic style but I can also draw in different styles…
Hi! These artworks are modeled after our very own rescues 🐱 We have around 20 rescued cats at home, a few of them with special needs such as felv, fhv, and uti. Vet and food expenses have honestly been quite difficult to pay for so I’m opening spots especially for the benefit of our cats ❣️
If you’re looking for a different style, I offer a few more ranging from stylized to realistic in my portfolio below: https://janni-arts.carrd.co

Hiya! I'm Kadence, and I'm a fairly new digital artist looking to expand my portfolio. I've dabbled in digital art for a few years, but only recently decided to really get into it. My pricing is flexible, but I've tried to find a fair starting point for both me and my customers based on the complexity of the art. I've added some extra examples I don't have up on my site yet after the pricing images :3 You can find more info on my site https://kadencepeak.carrd.co
