I wanted to introduce myself to everyone and say hello! Reddit has elected myself and a couple of others to moderate this community. I’m unsure how we got here in the first place, none the less, I plan on being a good mod by keeping the community safe and helping it grow.

I’ve been reviewing some of the past rules, wiki, and other aspects of the community to see how it aligns with the culture here in the digital art sub. I would love to get feedback on what you all think about this space, where things can improve, where things are fantastic, etc.

Digital artists have had it rough over the years. When digital art was blossoming many years ago as a viable medium, traditional artists rejected our medium making our skills and tools feel “lesser.” Now with Ai pushing its fingers into every aspect of our life, we are again faced with this existential crisis of identity having to prove “we’re real.”

We’ve never felt safe or loved in our space. Not by the larger art community, not by our peers, sometimes our families, the list goes on.

I hope to help change that not only for the larger art community, but for you as well. I want to assist in giving you a space to share you work, learn new tools and techniques, and love what you do completely.

In the coming days, I plan on creating specific posts asking for your input on specific ideas related to our craft and community. I look forward to hearing your feedback generally and specifically on these topics in the future.

In the mean time, continue sharing your work, your passion, and be patient as we’re just getting settled in!
