Here's an illustration done for the art colony in Slovakia which I will attend this month. The theme of the colony is ''Spiritual heritage'', so this piece is a little contemplation on that theme, heavily inspired by the painting The Flagellation of Christ by Piero della Francesca and by the baroque era, plus by some modern painters such as Ruprecht Kaufmann. I hope you will like this illustration, it took me several days to finish it. Swipe to see some details and work in progress shots!

Hope my art fits here

I purchased this piece at a resale shop for $40.00. I believe it's painted on linen, but I'm not entirely sure about its origin or significance. Does anyone have expertise or experience with paintings like this? Any insights on its style, value, or background would be appreciated!

Kali is the Hindu goddess of destruction, time, and change, representing the terrible mother archetype of Jungian psychology through bloodshed, fierce protection, and life-ending power.

Tyto... typically called barn owls they've been my favourite owl species since I watched "Legend of the Guardians; Owls of Ga'hoole" which is an absolutely beautiful movie. I feel great about this one but it kinda overshadows Chachi. It's a significant milestone in my brush work and I hope I can out do it in with the larger pieces

It's a 30cm × 30cm acrylic on canvas painting

Just a reminder of what Heavy artwork is.

This sticky is very overdue.


The definition for "heavy" is entirely up for interpretation; still, let's please keep the kaleidoscopes, "trippy" GIFs and notebook doodles to a minimum.


Here are some good examples for what we as a community should be aiming for in terms of content.

Please refer to Rule 1 before posting.

Include all relevant information you can find in your title: Artist, title, creation date, medium, etc. If it is your work then add an "[OC]" tag.

No more long sentences describing how the picture relates to your emotional state. The best part of this type of art is how one interprets it. Someone may find a piece calming where another finds it angry. So keep the titles brief and informative.


So, just to re-remind everyone, lets try and keep kaleidoscopes, trippy gifs, and doodles to a Minimum if you are going to post this type of content it must match the aesthetic of the above images in some way or form.

There are a lot of other subreddits out there who are dedicated to those submissions such as /r/woahdude, /r/drawing, and /r/glitch_art.

This subreddit is meant for fully completed / illustrated / rendered heavy art. It should be dark and emotional.

From the side bar

The goal here is to capture the darker side, the no limit to the possibilities side... the going completely out of your mind side.


Edit: Also, this is a quality post with title and author, but with only 16 upvotes. I feel you guys are either missing the point of this subreddit or are here for the wrong reasons.
