Hi there!
So I've been browsing the forums as usual today, but I realized that I never really wanted to wander into the Art Section. Why? It's a wall of titles of different threads, along the lines of "X's GFX" "X avatars" and etc. You don't really get to see much of a person's portfolio, background, or anything with a simple title. Which is why many wonderful artist's threads never really catch on. So I thought of an idea that I thought would benefit this section a ton; an Art Gallery.
How this works:
If you have an art thread up, and would like to attract some potential customers and commission requests, simply post a picture (or a few) of your artwork (putting them in a spoiler would be ideal), and if you'd like, post a link to your thread.

Want artwork? Request here: *insert link here*
If, for example, some person is in search for a YouTube banner, they can look through this thread, find one that they like, and be redirected to someone's shop where they can request for one. I feel as if the Art Section is so distanced and the only successful and "well off" artists are the "forum famous" or the YouTubers.
This thread is not only going to be used for attracting customers. If you'd like to show something off that you recently made, or if you want opinions, tips and tricks on how to improve your artwork, this is also the place for that.
My goal for this thread is to create a community that helps each other reach their potential, and also support the underrated and overlooked artists that deserve attention.

P.S. I honestly don't know if this is a good idea. I thought about it at 2am, and usually everything I think about this late at night is dumb
