Word.

Here is an art forum for all you art whores collectors. Anything art related can go here: Display art you've collected of your avatar, show off your drawings, open up an art shop, or ask for advice on drawing or coloring!

As always, there are rules.

WHEN POSTING OR REQUESTING ART:

No pornography.
No gratuitous nudity unless it's tasteful. Even so, only post it as a link and provide a NSFW warning.
No harassing the artists for commissions. If they don't want to draw your avatar, they don't have to.
Follow Gaia's TOS.
One thread is all you need to display your massive collection. If you make more they will either be merged or deleted. (If I figure out how to merge a thread. xD)

OTHER

If you create an art shop here and if you want it stickied, please let me know through a PM.
