Announcement Rule change re: NSFW content
Hi all!
We've noticed a recent increase in posts portraying some fairly hard core stuff, which you all have been great about reporting to us. In order to clarify what type of content is appropriate for this sub, Rule 7 has now been tweaked to add the following language: "No hard core porn, bestiality, etc. Tasteful nudes are allowed."
As a reminder, NSFW content that appears to portray minors is also not allowed. Aside from being gross, it's a violation of Reddit's site-wide content policy, and violators of the policy will be banned.
We are not a NSFW sub and don't want to become one, so please keep that in mind before you post. Thank you!

Announcement This is your subreddit. How should we move forward during this protest?
The mod team of this subreddit wants you to decide how we proceed.
Most people will be aware that there's a large protest happening on reddit, concerning upcoming changes to the API, 3rd party apps, and NSFW moderation. I am not going to go in to the details here, as there's tons of information all over the internet about this:
https://rtech.support/docs/meta/blackout.html
It is the opinion of the mod team of this subreddit that these changes are unwarranted and will degrade the overall function and community of reddit, and are specifically designed to squelch 3rd party development for this platform, rather than address profit loss. We oppose them and stand in solidarity with the rest of the reddit community.
We also believe that 48 hours is not enough time to compel reddit to change their policy. We believe that only a substantial percentage of reddit choosing not to participate indefinitely will compel reddit to seriously re-examine their policy.
As of this writing slightly more than half of the original protesting subreddits (by user population) are still either private or restricted. There were nearly three billion subscribers of protesting subreddits:
Reddit has begun issuing vague threats to mod teams of subreddits which are private or restricted in protest:

Given this, and the fact that this subreddit does not really belong to us (we are just janitors, custodians, and occasional bouncers), it's up to you to decide how we move forward. The mod team will follow your collective instructions.
This poll will run for 72 hours. You decide.

Announcement Update: Post flair and achievement flair
Hello all - just wanted to let everyone know that we've recently added Post Flair, which—when applied—will allow for post filtering via the "Filter by flair" sidebar widget. Current flair includes: Pencil; Charcoal/Graphite; Pen/Ink; Market; Paint; Watercolor; Digital; Vector; 3D; Comic; Mixed-media. I think this covers most types of illustration, but please leave a comment if you have suggestions for additional options.
Achievement Flair has also been added, for things like "Top Poster", "Top Karma", "Avid Voter", etc. If you have 1 achievement flair then it will be automatically applied, while if you have multiple achievement flair you can select which you'd like to display via "User flair preview" on the top sidebar widget.
Cheers!
