Gems of Internet Art
High quality, not necessarily high effort.
Share your favorite artsy content from the internet. Anything good enough to download to your device is a good rule of thumb.
Weird, surreal and abstract art, as well as works related to internet culture are preferred, but not a must.
I recommend checking out the stuff that has already been posted to get a feel for this community first.
Enjoy.
⚠️ Disclaimers
Strobing / flashing lights warning: Not recommended for people with photosensitive epilepsy.
For Artists: If you don't want your work to be posted here, please send me a message. I will, of course, remove all of your art and make note to not post it in the future, either. Best case scenario would be promotion of your work and entertainment for everyone else. I do not have any financial incentive in this.
Rules
TLDR: Give credit, if possible. Tag NSFW - no porn, no gore. Strive to be the opposite of Twitter.
✏️ 1) If you know the artist, credit them.
🔞 2) Tag NSFW. No extreme, or even real gore & no porn. Non-sexual nudity is fine.
🫂 3) Be respectful of others. It sounds so obvious, but remember you are conversing with another human being and imagine you were talking to them in person.
🗳️ 4) No politics, no hostile debates (light-hearted jokes and respectful discussions are fine).
ℹ️ If you are wondering: I don't give a shit about swearing, except racial slurs and mean spirited insults to others.
Thanks.

Any recommended frameworks or programs to make stuff like this?
Blender is the first that comes to mind.
Edit: Krita for illustrations.
And GIMP as a Photoshop alternative.
So many years with the same text the same way and nothing else. Always wondered wtf it was for.
Question: how do we feel about net.art, or e-lit stuff, or hypertext stuff here? Are images/gifs/visual art formats the only things kosher in this comm?
Don't have any pressing thing I want to share just yet, only curious in case I do another deep-dive on stuff only super nerds supported by some university's english lit or media arts departments typically care about (much of it is lame, much of it is actually pretty cool).
As long as it isn't breaking the rules (especially no porn* and no gore) it's cool by me. 👍 Honestly I don't know what exactly it is, but I am intrigued now. Feel free to post it. 🙂
*non-sexual nudity is fine, please tag nsfw.
Send gems ❤️
Hope you’re okay buddy. You don’t have to post this often for me. It’s important to don’t go to hard and watch the mental health too, lots of us would be glad to have you back (:
Pls wait three months before switching communities again, thanks, my adhd brain.
I'm sorry. I won't switch again. If this doesn't work I'm out. 🫡
What happened to the surrealism comm? Not enough activity or?
No, multiple complaints that it isn't surrealism.
Pedants. Pedants everywhere. That's unfortunate to hear, I just like seeing the interesting stuff you've been posting, whatever genre it technically is. The name of this comm makes sense now, considering that.
Thank you, I'm glad you are sticking around. I really need to learn not to take criticism to heart too much and remind myself that this is for fun. 😅
Happy to provide that reminder :) there will always be negative people in any corner of the internet or real life. But you're the only one who will live with your decisions for the rest of your life. So make it feel worthwhile :D
Love what you post! Don’t listen to the haters
