*rises from the dead*
Hi! I haven't really had the time to draw anything lately, but I'm just popping in to tell you guys about this up-and-coming art community that you miiiight be interested in (personally I'm really excited about it).
It's called
anipan and is mainly targeted towards people who are into the whole anime/manga/jculture thing. It aims to be a good platform for sharing artwork, even attempting to break the English-Japanese language barrier.
It will have features like: drag-and-drop uploading of art
cross-posting to other sites like dA, tumblr and twitter (facebook and pixiv too by the looks of it) -- so it's like a core art website for you to branch on to other sites
a cool, clean and user-friendly site interface
chatting with other artists and drawing with them (like paintchat! I think...)
Yep! Mega-exciting! Except it won't happen unless Eddz and Toad get loads of support to help with equipment, starting and maintenance costs.
You can read about the website, see the demo video, and pledge some $$ here ---> www.indiegogo.com/anipanPlease help fund it if you can! Along the side you can see some perks to donating
Notice how a trip for Japan is up for grabs as well, if you donate enough money! ... Or if you're poor like me and can't afford that, anything will do.
Also, if you refer enough people you might get the chance to get one of the site mascots drawn in your likeness (or however you like...)! And even art from ! And cupcakes/brownies! You know you want it~ o 3o Simply scroll down to the bottom of the page I linked to read more about it ^^
Please help and spread the word about it, thank you! Even if you can't donate money, it would be really good if you can let other people you know about this new community. Every bit helps.
There's only 21 days left for anipan to reach its goal funds, and still ~$22 500 to go.
Go go go~
