This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

WIP- advice needed (thelemmy.club)

I'm working on a new commission (client request was sunset at a drag race). This isn't my usual style so I'm feeling a little out of my element. Right now, I am not sure if I should keep it closer to how it is currently, or if I should try to add more detail and precision and try for more realistic.

Should I maybe add some cars or headlights/taillights?

Does it look like a drag strip?

Shouldn't you be asking the client these questions?

Needs cars.

A few things that are missing:

Barricades leading up to and around the tree.
Staging lights on the tree (these are two sets of two smaller yellow lights on each side above the other lights. They work to tell the driver where their car is in relation to the starting line.
The starting line
A timing board near the end of the track. These usually display the speed and time of a car as it crosses the finish line.

Other than that, I think this looks great and would hang it on my wall, even missing those things.

Without having told me this was a drag strip I'd have assumed this was an abstract piece, but with the context it's an "okay, I see it now" situation.
