The Art Shop is a place of culture and creativity. Drawings or GFX may be traded or sold here, or for those who's only price is critique, art may also be posted and rated by all who might care to look.
That being said, there are a couple of rules.
The first rule, there is to be no nudity posted on this site. If you want critique on a drawing that features nudity, you can either show it to people privately, or post it on a different art sharing site (you may NOT link it on this site).
The second rule, no excessive gore may be be posted. Once again, you can ask privately for critique, or post it elsewhere. Blood and some severed limbs is fine, but nothing too grisly. In addition, all art that features gore must be spoil'ered. This can be done by using [spoiler](The link to your art goes here)[/ spoiler], and a gore warning must be shown.
The third rule, art of a romantic nature is fine. Art of a sexual nature is not. This is an art board, not a porn board. If your art features romance between sexes that may...sigh...offend somebody, please use spoiler tags and put up a warning. I'd like to think we're all adults, but whatever. Bases covered.
Absolutely NO art that depicts racism or hate crimes!
Critics, try to keep your critique fair and constructive. Artists, try not to overreact to critique.
Anyone trying to rip off customers (such as by promising art but delivering nothing, or providing something that was not originally advertised) will be penalized and will be barred from posting any art for an amount of time agreed upon by the admins.
Customers who try to rip off artists by falsely claiming they have been cheated will pay double the price for what they payed for (all of which will go to the artist you framed (haha, framed)).
You will also be given a strike. Two strikes and you will not be allowed to purchase or trade art until the strikes are removed (you will be told how you can get them removed)
(One more thing, while I know literature is a form of art, this board is specifically a drawing/painting board. There is a Literature Board right underneath this board.)
