Nope! You're all good!  I just wanted to let you know in case you were wondering why it kept being hidden 

Just so you know, you can link your discord server in your status updates, it just needs to be manually approved by the staff due to our automatic filtering system. The filtering system allows us to better monitor for harmful links. We receive alerts when there is a status pending, it just may take a hot minute depending on staff availability. 

Looks like you email provider is blocking ours. I will try to get this fixed, but is there another email you can potentially use in the meantime? (you can dm me it)

I’ll check on it! I’ll see if I can find a specific error for your email. 

Of course! I’ll be monitoring them for a bit to make sure they are sending as they should. 

The issue should now be resolved! Thank you for posting something about it! 

Hi there!

I just read your status update and wanted to offer some advice, if that's okay! ^^

I understand what you're going through and it's very easy to compare your artwork to others, especially on any sort of art or social media platform. However, Art Haven isn't just host to artists of a specific style. Each style is welcome and everyone's own unique flair is admired. There may be a lot of anime style artists who own topics right now, but that doesn't mean other styles aren't available and quite frankly our site does go through various phases as artists experiment more with their styles. However, many people will look for a specific style for a specific original character they may have, as the style better suits the theme for that character, so having a variety of different styles on the site is always super awesome! It gives customers more options to have their characters expressed and drawn in certain ways, building them a story and adding personality. Growing and maintaining an audience anywhere can be quite difficult, but no artist has gained a following by not posting, advertising, or sharing their updates through an activity based stream such as a feed, radar, gallery, etc. 

My advice to you is to try to alleviate the amount of pressure you are putting on yourself, to not let comparisons to other people's styles, techniques, or artwork intimidate you, because ultimately we all start somewhere and sometimes it is a super bumpy road or even a rollercoaster (easier said than done, I know), Don't let it stop you or take the joy of art from you. You have to keep trying. Post status updates and gallery images with your art progress, updates on personal projects, experiments, or other things you're working on. Post in our premade market, free art section, offer your services in the request section, etc. Your audience will grow, I promise you that, it's only a matter of time! 

on that salsa and oreo but other than that I got u b ♥

be the spider monkey to my edward xoxo thx

PYOCs are also a good idea since it allows people to semi customize their piece and choose the colors they want. It would also save you time from having to think of color palettes and you wouldn’t have to make any color changes 

If you have some questions regarding a premade shop, you can contact a Shops & Services moderator but in general, any time you have a question or need some assistance, you can contact any Shops & Services, Miscellaneous, or Mature Content moderator and we'll do our best to assist you 

All done! No more bumps here, just smooooooooth sailin' 

No problem! I can do it for you as well, you just have to let me know what topic it is ♥

Don’t worry about it! That’s what we’re here for! But yes, there’s an easier way for us to do it instead of individually marking each post. We can also delete pages of posts as well if you’d rather have a super clean shop! 

Pssst, you can always ask a mod for a shop cleanin! We can remove any number of posts!  

 

We offer advertising options! You can buy shop pins which will keep your shop on the first page for a limited time. Pins currently range from 7 days to a whole month. Banner ad space is also available. We offer both small and large banners for 2 weeks to 6 months. You can find more information regarding these advertising options by going here. Additionally, should you want to purchase a shop pin, you can do so within your topic by clicking "request to pin".

A good way to branch out of the smaller size canvas is to draw at a larger size, then provide crops for those who want them. It may not be at the point where you'll be 100% free of the smaller sizes, but it's a good way to help phase out of it. You'll notice that while there's still quite a few artists who offer DP sizes only, there are an increasing amount of those trying larger canvas sizes. Prints are also something that are becoming more prevalent. 

Sent bb!

Also, I'm doing okay! I hope you're alright u sweet lil bean!

Hi Jurns ♥

I'm sorry to hear that some of your pieces have been used without your authorization! In order to have your piece removed from their profile, please inform the artist of the situation so that they may contact the user.

While one is our own guidelines, information regarding what DMCA and Copyright Infringement is can be found as well. You may find this page here: DMCA Guidelines. You may also view our official GASR Wiki page to learn how to file the takedown which you may give the artist if they are unsure how to proceed. It can be viewed here: How to File a DMCA Takedown.
