The Art Trading Thread

• What is an "Art Trade"?

-A fairly common practice among artists nowadays is making art trades with others in their community, or swapping a piece of their own artwork for someone else's. Considering the huge variety in style and talent within this community, I thought an art trading thread of our own would make for some great opportunities to get to know your fellow RM artists!

• So, how does it work?

-In this thread, each artist can submit a post including some sample artwork (or simply a link) along with their trading conditions (see example post below). If you see an artist you'd like to trade with, simply make sure they have an open trading slot, then send them a PM requesting a trade!

• Some rules to keep in mind:

1. Only allow as many trade slots as you are comfortable with.
2. You don't have to accept every trade offer, but be open to trading with those you're unfamiliar with.
3. Consider offering or exchanging ideas/tips with your fellow artists.
4. Try and remember to edit your post as your slots are taken up, or post if you are no longer available for trades.
5. Please refrain from posting trade offers in this thread. Save those for PMs, please!
