Welcome to Smogon's art subforum! This is where you'll find all threads artistic, so all you creative types should feel right at home here. Here you can enter art competitions, request drawings, and much much more! All general forum rules still apply.
Quick Links
*Please post all sprites and sprite requests in this thread. An original art thread should not consist of sprite fusions. Original pixel art is allowed in art threads.
*All avatars, banners, and general requests for those graphics belong in this thread. Banners/avatars that do not consist of original artwork do not belong in original art threads.
*All art tutorials can be found in this thread.
*If you have music to share with us, post it here.
*Pieces of poetry and prose should be posted here.
Forum-specific Rules
*Constructive criticism on artwork is appreciated, but do not flame other users. If you don't like a piece of artwork, explain why and what can be improved.
*Artists should not bump their own art threads with trivial comments or content. Meaningful updates or commentary are always welcome. But do not make trivial posts simply to get your thread bumped to the top of the forum.
*Try not to flood the forum with comments about every single art thread. It's fine to voice your appreciation, but don't overdo it. This is not a place for bumping up your postcount.
*Same thing goes for requests, please do not flood the threads with requests.
*Posts that contain only a few words such as "Great!" or "Wow that's cool." will generally be frowned upon. Try to put some content and thought into your posts.
*If an art thread has been inactive for a long time, please don't necro it by commenting in it. Only the artists themselves may revive the thread with an update. The quick links above are of course exceptions to this rule.
*Please don't quote large pics in your post if you can help it (at least put them in hide tags when you do it).
*If you're going to make an art thread, please make sure there's at least 3 pieces of art for people to comment on. A contentless thread isn't very interesting.
