Artwork of Portals, Gateways and Thresholds

Portals, manmade or naturally occurring; warp gates, or any other type of dramatic entrance

Guidelines

  1. Titles should be in the format "Title" by Artist
    • If adding the artists social media handle after their name, use [square brackets]
    • If adding a year after the title, use (parenthetical brackets)
    • If posting your own art, preface the title with [OC]
  2. Please include the original source in the post body
  3. This community is meant for showcasing artists' work - this excludes
    • AI generated artwork
    • Screenshots from films or games
  4. Submitting the link from the original source instead of downloading and rehosting is recommended
    • This will ease server stress on smaller lemmy instances
    • /!\ Many mobile apps don't generate previews unless the url ends with a common file extension /!\
    • Therefore, if possible, please strip all parameters after .png, .jpg, etc.
  5. Mark posts as NSFW when necessary (nudity/violence)

@davidrevoy is a true open source warrior. I hope he finds us on Lemmy and Kbin someday.

@hitstun @Zeus :blobcatheart: Thanks, and I received the message on my Mastodon notifications so I guess the federation of Lemm.ee and my Framapiaf instance is now working 🙂 First time I see I can reply this way to a lemmy instance. Thanks for poking me, for your nice words, and for the featuring of my artwork.

About the Chrome logo and idea of a portal; I think I wanted more to make an effect of a large data vacuum. Like a giant robotic harvester no one could stop.
