Kicking Myself In Gear

[ryanlion]

I need to do my own art, I need to finally finish the Sleeping Beauty drawing that kitsunebeast and nomadboi so kindly posed for several years ago now.

I have a drawing idea for/of vorona that I think could end up looking cool. In my head it looks cool, a combination of her with a crow mantle holding a glowing green sphere that looks like a marble

Hurry up, do art, submit to my art show.

I'd love to, I'm not sure if my stuff qualifies as 'Dark Art' though... What does that mean to you, in terms of your show?

[marc17]

Well, typically, "dark art' is a euphamism for "goth" or "industrial" so they don't have to use those terms in the ad space. That limits it to whatever people consider fitting into those genres. If I try to solicit artists outside of those communities it will probably go towards "horror, macabre, disturbing, or militaristic" in addition to those other genres and probably woudl also include things like cheesy halloween art and the like. Labeling art is always the hard thing to do because no two people can agree upon the defeinitions of the genres. How to describe it is one of the things I'm wrestleing with right now as I work on flyer and website. Hope that clears things up a bit.

It is hard to define art, but yeah, that does clear it up. I'm not sure my style fits that, as much as I wish it would at times, things don't come out looking sinister or dark. I might try the kitsune I was thinking of, it might come the closest.
