Q: What is 'Dark Gothic Art'?

A: Any form of artwork that pertains to the gothic horror subgenre, the goth subculture, or is thematically dark in nature. This includes paintings and drawings (digital or traditional), physical art such as statues or statuettes, photographs, and music. This ranges from a night-time landscape to a black metal song.

Rules:

  1. Artwork must be dark and/or gothic in some way. Mods reserve the right to use our own judgment on this, but we usually let the community decide.

  2. No harassment or bigotry towards other users.

  3. Post the name of the artist(s) along with the artwork. If you do not know the artist you can use Google Image Search to try to find it. If that doesn't work, put 'unknown artist' in the title.

  4. When posting music, put the genre in the title.

  5. NSFW posts must be marked as such. Do not post gorn or porn just for the sake of it.

  6. Dark does not mean edgy. Do not encourage suicide.

  7. Please link to images directly. Right click on the image to open it in a new tab and link from there.

  8. There must be at least three months between reposts.

  9. Do not ask for upvotes.

Graveyard Photography

How do folk feel about graveyard photography?

Im in two minds about it, but i figured id'e ask as my OCD is proably making me over think this.

I went to my city centre to get some photographs of the victorian graves as it had been snowing, might be a nice astectic, I am not in any of these pictures so no posing etc, laying on graves and I stood on no plots.

I guess im asking more the morals of it, Am I being rude if I put these pics online? I mean pics of these graves are already online most of them, again these graves are over 100 years old, so no immediate family left around.

These graves being so large and detailed, well.. would be the rich and affluent, and my logic being why else would you have such a large grave unless you want people to see it, and myself doing such pictures continues their memory.

I know a lot of folk dont think about these things as much but maybe ide feel better with others input, maybe my ocd, maybe im being overly suspicous.

cheers, I know im a goof
