Shadowness started as a personal art project by Meng To in 2001. Today, it has grown into an art community with over 50,000 artists and designers worldwide to an audience of millions of viewers.
Our vision is to create a simple and powerful tool for artists and designers to connect and share their work. We're small, pretty picky about our work, but always friendly and here to help.
When you start a portfolio, it won't go unnoticed. The minute you took to sign up will be rewarding and as soon as you start sharing and following incredible artists, you will be feeling right at home.

“ What I learned from Shadowness is to have passion in your work and listen to your people. Artists are known for being a bit more moody and chaotic than the usual type. I think with time and experience, they learn to organize themselves, become better designers of their environment and pose themselves more successfully to their audience. ”

“ I discovered Shadowness in 2001 by tracing the most emotive and visually stunning artwork I'd ever seen back to the source: they were all on Shadowness.com. Unlike other art communities, all of the art on Shadowness is phenomenal. The community is so talented and open to sharing techniques and skills that becoming a member actually makes you a better artist. ”

“ Shadowness is the rare community where members form one large collective group of talent; everyone is friendly, welcoming and willing to help. The opportunities that SN has for members to strive continue to grow as the community gains experience. My time with Shadowness has kept me a member for many years and I will continue to be a part of it for years to come. ”
