The Cauldron: A Pagan Forum

Do any of you do artwork for your gods?

If so, it'd be awesome if you could post it (or a link to it) here! And the artwork doesn't have to just be drawing/painting/sculpting; it could be photography or photoshop or writing or heck, even embroidery!

I'm gonna go ahead and put in a couple links here.

Not all my art is deity-related, but some of it is. I've got some posted here on my dA. It's not a usual thing I do, but when the muse strikes, it's a good way to connect with my gods.

I'd post pictures, but I haven't got any web hosting figured out. I've been thinking about it, so I might be back with links in a week or two.

Hopefully this is not unwanted advice, but. If I just want to host a picture so I can link to it or post it in the forums, I usually use Photobucket. It is a free service I have been using for years, and have never had problems with it. It also has light editing software included. You can also upload photos from your smartphone, which can be nice.

A Lucifer I drew recently (I'm slowly getting back into drawing): http://dantes-vault.tumblr.com/post/75868358116/pretty-boy-lucifer-lokadyne-is-my-username

Writings: Poetry for Loki
Poetry for Odin
Poetry for Lucifer
And poetry for Dionysus if anyone is interested in looking.
Also a couple of Loki poems here. Note to self: Gotta change the moved url.

Loki was my muse for a long time. ._.

Just a caution: Photobucket is OK for some things, but there are usually better options. I've found that it is very, very prudish. It often deletes images that show even just naked breasts or buttocks in paintings or statues (or more to the point in my case, dolls). More troublingly, if you're posting original artwork, they take the copyright. That is, whatever you post on their site becomes THEIRS. It's a similar policy to FaceBook.

No, that's not how it works - what Photobucket and Facebook (and most other places on the Internet that host your content so you can share it) have as part of their terms of service is a license to use your content. You retain your copyright - a private company's ToS wouldn't be able to supersede copyright law, and it's actually quite hard to lose, or give up, your copyright on something.

Thanks for the clarification! That makes me feel better. I still prefer Flickr and Deviantart, because they don't freak out about boobies...

Flickr might work, though. I have never tried it. Thank you for the heads up, though!

I used to love Flickr, but am finding their new look less than awesome.  You used to be able to grab the URL of the image or a line of basic html or forum embed code, but now it gives you the code for a javascript (I think?) box with the image in it.  Which looks very shiny, but isn't always useful.  Sometimes you just need the url of your own image, and it seems quite hard to find it now.  (And if you're not logged in, it seems to be impossible.  Which is annoying.  I started a Flickr account for a local nonprofit just before the change, where they could put photos for the media to use, and now it's such a palaver I've just started putting everything on Facebook.)

There is some fantastic art in this thread!

I had a scrapbook of Celticish-flavoured art, some directly deity related and some not, which I lost in my last move.  The one piece I was really sorry to lose was a collage of Blodeuwedd made from various clippings of flowers and feathers.  I should re-do it.

There may also be Sulis/sacred-springs-at-Bath themed My Little Pony mod in progress, but she needs a do-over before she's fit to post.

I do a lot of mythic writing for my gods, as part of establishing their stories, over on my Wordpress blog: http://daoineile.com/blog

I also do a bit of doodling and hope to get better at actual drawing/illustration so I can add illustrations to the stories, but that's taking some time to do (and I'm waiting to snatch my boyfriend's drawing tablet again). I'm also trying to fancy/art-ify a large leather-bound book I have that I use for the god's stories as well, but I don't have pictures of my latest work yet.
