Good day to everyone :).
For the sake of Transparency and openness, I am putting all the updates here in one post so that you can see how far we are getting:
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, there were a small group of people trying to get an artistic community built and set to do the following:
These four base goals were inspired by another community that had long since dissolved due to varying factors. While no one could ever re-create what once was, there is always room for a community to be built. This is not something that can be done by one person. It takes a community to build a community.
Before I got my current job, I started to build a forum to put a sort of foundation for a community to form. I didn't take into account how much my life would change, nor did I imagine what would happen in that time span.
Now, with a move on the horizon and permanent settlement back in the states happening, I see a window where I can kick start this back up again.
I'd like to re-open this project, revise, invite people, invigorate....do all these things.
I am going to be, over time, adding some posts, ideas, etc etc. And I would really love some input.
I will be re-opening the original forum for those who want to have a nose, and once I do I'll pop the link on here.
This is essentially a placeholder for building this.
I appreciate the time everyone that reads this has taken, and I look forward to any questions or input. :)
EDIT 1:
WE HAVE A DISCORD, discord.gg/9NRk49rvF (link will last for 30 days as of 08/05/23) -UNDER CONSTRUCTION STILL!
EDIT 2:
Oh, the forum is open...SAY WHAT??
PLEASE NOTE: Forum registration is NOT restricted right now, HOWEVER. The forum is NOT open for services as of yet. Please monitor this post and the forum for news.
EDIT 3:
Application Discussion Now open on the forum. This is something I'm keen on getting into as I want to get the whole community involved. In the meantime, I'm reorganizing boards and adding sub boards for certain areas (IE request forums and the like).
EDIT 4:
Discussion for the DoodlePip form of the Ban Ladder. Really looking forward to everyone's Input!
Oh...and a smol announcement.
EDIT 5:
Added Free services for members to participate in (IE in the event the free service boards become too full). This gives members the chance to practice and build a portfolio of services/freebies for themselves.
Added Freebie master forum for people who have freebies already under their belt.
Consequence Protocol post updated with response and more questions.
Currently typing up admin applications with feeback, will be displaying rough drafts hopefully in a few hours.
EDIT 6:
Thank you to everyone who contributed their opinions on what the applications should look like.
I'm now looking for THREE MEMBERS per team that are currently open for applications.
Art Advisor Applications
Free Request Team Applications
Moderator Applications
If you or anyone you know would like to join and volunteer, please sign up (if you havn't) and have a gander. I'd love to see everyone there!
EDIT 7:
After a good dicussion in the discord (NOTE: please message me here or on Discord - Username: Aurocard for a link to the chat) I've combined both the Relations and Events role into one as we will not be holding any Events for a while until the userbase becomes more substantial.
So here is the Events and Relations Team Application.
I look forward to hearing from you guys <3

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, there were a small group of people trying to get an artistic community built and set to do the following:
- Build an environment for people to excel in their art.
- Build an environment for people to participate in events related to art and different art sites they love and enjoy
- Build an environment where the team of said community would effortlessly provide transparency and respectful communication
- Build an environment for people to admire, and help out with the spark of creativity
