"Heavy" art: imagery, film, music, poetry, whatever.

A forum for heavy art.

The definition for "heavy" is entirely up for interpretation; still, let's please keep the kaleidoscopes, "trippy" GIFs and notebook doodles to a minimum.


Posting suggestions:

  1. Try to include all relevant information you can find in your title: Artist, title, creation date, medium, etc. If it is your work then add an "[OC]" tag.

  2. Try to avoid reposts. Proper titles really help to do this. Posts over six months in age are fine to repost.

  3. Try to find the highest resolution/quality version of the piece you want to submit.

  4. Check out the top submissions for inspiration.

  5. Upvote if it looks good, downvote if it doesn't! Remember, this is a subreddit for quality content.

  6. If you post a .gif with flashing imagery please include the tag [EPILEPSY] in the title or it may be removed.

  7. No linking to full tumblr blogs, instagram, webstores/websites, etc. If you must, include it as an additional comment after your submission.

  8. Art Commissions are better submitted to /r/designjobs, but we understand why you are here. We try hard to fairly police the quality of the sub; currently most requests are allowed for 24 hours.

The goal here is to capture the darker side, the no limit to the possibilities side... the going completely out of your mind side.

Thought provoking, rich in symbolism.

Heavy.

Sketched something 4 nights ago that's oddly similar to another user's post I just saw. I haven't picked up my sketchpad in a long time either, strange coincidence

First time drawing in ages

I haven’t been motivated to draw for ages, but some things in my life have changed recently and I found myself wanting to draw again. A pen, pencil, and paper used. Very rough, but hey ho

I’m going through a real tough time lately. All I have is art. Cat passed away recently, lost my job which I truly loved, I’ve sent hundreds and hundreds of applications out…I got denied a job waiting tables I’m 32 with a college degree. I have -12 dollars to my name and no clue what’s next

I always used to doodle to escape.. escape an unhappy house with so much yelling and fighting, escape a classroom where I learned how to feel loved when I’d show my friends the doodle I’d spent all class working on, I felt like I mattered and it’s always saved my life in one way no matter big or small. I don’t think I’m gonna be able to find a way to do that anymore and I’m devastated. My one friend in the world, never uttered a word to me in nearly 18 years, but understood me like no other. I don’t know how to move on what to do, I feel like I don’t belong here
