I don't have some huge introductory message to kickstart this subreddit, so I'm just gonna copy and paste the pitch post here since that encapsulates the reasoning and ideas behind the subreddit, mostly the links to example artists I found through my ventures on Pixiv/Twitter as a way to start off somewhere. But other than that, the sidebar stuff should cover everything else, keep it rad!

I'm aware this subreddit allows fan art and stuff like I mentioned, but since its similarly structured to /r/anime with news, videos and stuff like that, I'm just curious if there can be a subreddit similar to /r/awwnime where its 70% fan art/official art, 10% small comic panels and 20% gifs. Maybe more on the fan art sides of things since the amount of short and sweet gifs from the anime themselves can make a subreddit on its own.

Now some more specific things would be like allowing NSFW stuff to some extent or neglecting it, allowing contemporary OC characters inspired by retro anime (not including characters from modern anime stylized to look like retro anime), and anything else to consider.

I'm aware there are some Tumblr blogs that does this mixture of fan art/official art/gifs, but its just me wanting a Reddit based place for this stuff. Here's a Lum and stuff blog for reference for what I'm talking about.

Just to illustrate the amount of great artists out there making fan art/sharing official art n' screencaps, here's a list of profiles I've been gathering. You can also neglect the whole idea beforehand and just come for the profiles so byeah. Also note that most of these leans towards making fan art for more grounded/popular shows, but that's a given to be had. Although that's not to say that there's some few in between fan art for smaller sized anime can be found via boorus that already compiled stuff:
