For the first time ever on Bard
- Someone posted some artwork
- Someone collaborated with a story
- Someone drew new artwork to match the story
So fun :) This endless loop of collaborating is what I imagined when I started Bard 8 years ago

Which visual artists do you think tell stories through their art the best?

One thing I've learned using Bard is that making some decent artwork takes me about 10x as long as writing a decent story. This sort of hurts the community because it can take a lot longer for artists to collab.
However, there are two ways in which this is a good thing

It always brings joy to my heart when more people find Bard. And I'm not actively sharing it right now so it's also always a bit of a surprise

My friends and I have been playing an RPG minecraft server mod pack and we are writing stories on Bard for our adventures

How is your artist journey going?

Some might even call them happy accidents
One of my favourite drawing exercises is to use pen on paper instead of pencil. Lean into those mistakes. Just keep moving that pen!

Drawsessions on Youtube, one of the channels I've sponsored, has a lot of great videos on this if you're struggling to get started
Start with scribbles, get that pen or pencil on paper, and just keep sketching

@infiniteartsstudio.bsky.social has been posting plenty of rough sketches of characters and creatures on Bard
And these sort of posts are SUPER welcome on Bard. Keep it rough and focus on the storytelling, character building, etc elements

I've been talking to an artist about a new world they want to create which should be opening up on Bard soon!
One of the main themes is celestial powers that have substantial influence over the world and people with special abilities for communicating with those powers
Stay tuned!

Bard really is a great platform for writers to practice their writing, warm up, practice creativity, etc
And for visual artists to have meaningful interactions with when they post their work aka not likes and comments
I love writing short stories or poems for posts on Bard

I find it difficult to prioritize making art or at least digital. I spend so much of my time working online that when it comes time to do more creative things I opt for doing things in person, most recently woodworking.
Because of this, I find myself struggling to focus on sharing and growing Bard

I'm still looking for some small worldbuilding groups who would be interested in trying out the worldbuilding tools on Bard!
Reach out if you know a group :)

Bard won't feel like a social media platform when you use it
Social media platforms are constantly vying for your attention, and that's not what we are here to do
If you like Bard and you enjoy the stories our hope is that Bard will be a platform you intentionally visit from time to time
