Guidelines

  1. Titles should be in the format "[Title]" by [Artist]
    • If adding the artists social media handle after their name, use [square brackets]
    • If adding a year after the title, use (parenthetical brackets)
    • If posting your own art, preface the title with [OC]
  2. Please include the original source in the post body
  3. This community is meant for showcasing artists' work - this excludes
    • AI generated artwork
    • Screenshots from films or games
  4. Submitting the link from the original source instead of downloading and rehosting is recommended
    • This will ease server stress on smaller lemmy instances
    • /!\ Many mobile apps don't generate previews unless the url ends with a common file extension /!\
    • Therefore, if possible, please strip all parameters after .png, .jpg, etc.
  5. Mark posts as NSFW when necessary (nudity/violence)

This is a really interesting idea. I like the juxtaposition of the fact a train goes only on a set track through known lands, and a cartographer discovers new lands that wouldn't have trains yet, so in my mind, the train would deliver the mapmaker to the edge of the known world to continue making maps of the unknown land so it can be made known.
