Can you promote here?
The written rules take no clear position, which is NOT permission: unclear communities enforce norms through removals instead of rulebooks. Sort by top, study which builder posts survived and how they were framed, and when in doubt ask the mods.
From the rules · Many top posts use [OC] in the title and credit references; include process details (software, brushes, time) and you'll get more engagement.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: showcase, discussion, question
Short, first‑person titles (often include [OC] or a question). Post body: concise description of the piece, tools/process, time spent, and a humble request for feedback; may include timelapse or reference links. Tone: informal, earnest, improvement-focused. Works that show process, high-res images, or ask for critique get upvotes; low-effort screenshots or blatant ads are disliked.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked September 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/digitalart's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
