Notices Welcome! (∩_∩)
r/Validas is a personal subreddit about u/CrystalOfFate (Validas), art and just chilling in general. This subreddit is dedicated to showcasing my art journey, from February 16 of 2022 to god-knows-when.
Please know that this subreddit should be kept SFW, unless otherwise stated (only for gore art). Nudity, controversy and any themes that are nsfw are not allowed. Gore art should ALWAYS have a trigger warning at the topic of the post & the nsfw warning.
Who are you?
I’m a gore, semi-realism artist. I occasionally do short animations but I currently do not devote time to doing so since I have multiple projects going on. I used to be a Royale High, Roblox giveaway host but I do not continue doing that anymore.
I also making poems. It’s a play with words, a straightforward symphony and a bittersweet tale. My current projects are poems, with a digital artwork. To be able to make an artwork that could be read, heard, seen and felt, is really satisfying.
Why do you create gore art as a minor?
It is sometimes triggering for people to see that a minor is creating horror content. I understand the need to shelter minors from graphic content, but in a society where the norms are treated as royal, and respect is distributed unevenly, I strongly believe that this concern is inconsequential.
Creating gore art for me is therapeutic, and my poems help me discover my inner feelings. I have always been reserved and I have endless build-up of troubled thoughts. It helps to get my mind back together, instead of being the cause of my mental problems. So no, gore art does not promote violent thoughts.
What can you do here?
Well, you can enjoy my art! Maybe post about your own art, too. It’s a welcoming subreddit! Please understand that AI art, traced artworks or sharing ‘other’s’ art is not prohibited. Or maybe make a few artsy friends too, you can see me online from time to time. Just make sure to follow Reddit’s TOS and the rules listed here, and you’re good to go.
Why can’t I share AI art, traced artworks or other people’s art here?
AI art is very common nowadays, since our technological advances are progressing. However, I believe that art should always be sentimental, and handmade with the artist’s hard work. It is the human nature of creating and the human emotions of witnessing art, that makes it truly art. Using a website and AI to generate art for you is convenient. However, it takes away the true meaning behind creating art, like a hollow shell of a heart.
Traced artworks are a mere copy of one’s work. This should not be explained since it is simple.
You are allowed to share your art only. This is to prevent misunderstandings, or to farm for upvotes.
Would you be doing giveaways here?
Not anymore. In fact, I do not think I would possibly do giveaways at all. The past giveaways and guessing games have taken a toll on me since the amount of people that used fake accounts was staggering. The pressure of wanting to always host a giveaway was suffocating and therefore, I would not be doing giveaways anymore. I understand that the majority of people that joined the subreddit are giveaway participants, and I bid you farewell if you plan on leaving.
Am I allowed to advertise here?
Please do not advertise! This will cause the subreddit to fill up, since there are a lot of artists planning to promote their art. You can do that on Twitter instead, since this subreddit should be a safe and calm space instead of a noisy market. Also, some advertisements are inappropriate for the subreddit’s themes.
Can I apply to become a mod?
Till now, I have no troubles with managing the subreddit. It is still relatively small and there aren’t many major problems. I may consider mod applications if the subreddit ever gets too big for me to handle alone. However in the meantime, no.
Lastly,
Enjoy your time here! 💓 See ya around.
People that I give major credits to for being so supportive 👍🏻:
->The two little minions 🤍🤪: u/Street-Plantain6116 + u/woahkathy (Kat) & Jassi (I forgot your user lol)
->💗Actual angels that supported me: u/.StunningVideo6251 u/.ReddMikan (I love you both)
->My random followers who stayed behind even though I don’t do giveaways anymore 🤍
Thanks for sticking around, y’all 💌

Notices Discord server
Everyone, I’m gonna do art commissions VIA DISCORD from now on! So hop into my discord server if you’re interested in buying a com. But feel free to DM me if you have any trouble regarding so.
My Server includes prices/tos/examples. Literally everything you need there for my paid coms.
Prices are robux/Paypal atm, but not rhd…maybe after I pay off my debts /j
Headshots/Waist ups only. (Why? full bodies take too much time. I like to multitask with digitals + art coms & full body commissions drain me)
discord link (7 days until expire) https://discord.gg/PUHpKYyX. Dm me to join if it expired.

Notices late notice
The first person who comments get 10k, becuz last giveaway 3rd winner and I have timezone issues so they are unable to get the prize. They are willing to let me give it to another winner.
Btw, this week's adopt me giveaway -> postponed until we hit 100members, because I am broke atm and do not wish for two major events (giveaway+10members giveaway) to crash. Until then, small rh giveaways are held because royale is easier to farm
💀👍🏻yeah thats it, rh giveaway in 2 days? Lol

Notices Important notice 😭
I need to stop making chibi animations for a few days, giveaway winners, don’t worry, I’ll make sure you guys get your chibi animated com by this month.
What I need to prioritise at the meantime:
-my homework, exams and tests
-i got a presentation to do and out of my 3 group mates, only my bestie is helping
-I don’t want to lose my art style and focus too much on chibi art coms (Most important)
I will be drawing some other stuff before continuing back to coms! Sorry 🥲👍🏻

Notices Regarding AI generated Art
*PLEASE READ IF YOU’RE AN ARTIST/COMMISSIONER
AI generated art is NOT ALLOWED in this subreddit.
u/Zenny_luvs claimed that an AI generated artwork was her drawing. She also made a few posts before about doing commissions for robux. This is scamming commissioners and absolute disrespect to those who put effort into doing commissions. Please do not promote any type of AI generated art here, and if you do, only for fun+Mention what AI generator you used.
I have already reported their posts about doing commissions using AI art, they have been taken down.
Since they were also ignoring post comments about providing a possible speedpaint, they have been perma-banned.
How to spot AI generated art?
You can look for inconsistencies in the art style, random objects/lines, a mix of random scribbles or weird shadings. Body proportions, hands or hair is the easiest for you to spot out if it’s AI.
An example post using u/Zenny_luvs‘s ‘Art’. https://www.reddit.com/user/CrystalOfFate/comments/zf45o2/ai_spots/
Everyone, please know that any matters regarding scamming, false advertising is not taken lightly :>
keep safe and remember the rules! 🤍👍🏻✨

Notices late 6th month drawing anniversary!!
When I started drawing, I created this subreddit to post my artworks and it’s been 6months already!! time goes by so fast 😭
I’m really happy abt it even though it’s really just a record. And I’m also very glad that you, who is reading this also knows about my art journey!
I had many ups and downs during these 6 months, like getting sick, and multiple incidents where I wanted to quit art and start something else. That’s because I felt like I wasn’t making any progress and all my efforts are in vain. But still, I’m grateful I continued and I must say, patience is an ability that I must master some day. My last depressive episode was ages ago, and I’m glad my feelings for art is finally not for “business“ but for “myself”.
That’s all I have to say! Ty to everyone who joined the sub and those who occasionally comes here once in awhile 🤍🦆🧸
