Ten years ago there weren't many sites on the internet catering to artists. The ones that did were only using artists to click banners, and pay their bills. As the years progressed, it got worse; Ad space grew to cover and clutter up the pages, reducing the quality of the sites themselves.
Now, vendors and "art-sites" make profit from their artists without returning anything to them at all. Contests are created solely for the interest of the site and its chosen few 'best' artists. Contests are created just so that artists can receive commissions, with no pay-out at all.
Shadowness was created in order to put an end to that. Gone are the days of corporate sites with no community, that don't care about the art and the artist. Shadowness is here to give back!
Our Vision:
To Empower and Educate artists, creating a place to share artwork and connect with a network of diverse talents. To provide a free and individually customizable environment that is and user-friendly and distraction-free.We want to revolutionize the industry. We will not accept the industry standard of taking money from our artists without giving back to the community. We aren't here for the profit. We're here to give back to the Shadowness community. All monies collected by Shadowness via subscription or donation will go towards contests to pay back the hard work of the community artists.
The Shadowness Staff, including the founder are determined to be friendly and down to earth. We will encourage constructive criticism and ensure that our experience and vision are passed on to SN Members by our exemplary conduct.
We are determined to view each piece of artwork and comment on a majority of them. The Shadowness Staff will focus on constructive and conversational feedback by encouraging replies and encouraging the viewing of outstanding artists and their work.
We have Facebook Connect and Likes implemented for our Members to allow easier and more global sharing. We also offer Twitter Connect. The Shadowness platform will remain extremely open. Instead of becoming ‘just another social networking site’ we will strive to become the best art-oriented site on the internet by encouraging members to connect socially off-site using Facebook, so that even Non members can share the great artwork on Shadowness with their family and friends.
Here’s How We Plan To Give Back To The Community!
- We will hire freelance within the Shadowness community for our needs, including, but not limited to: Contest logos, Shadowness version Logos, custom wallpapers and other artwork needs as they arise.- We will build a commission system that handles transactions made between members or outside buyers for Shadowness artists. The artists will gain everything, unlike other sites which only pay artists a small percentage, we will take a small transaction fee, in order to pay our expense, and the artist will make over 90% of his/her sale.
- We will take no profit from Prints, we will only pay the expenses of shipping and print creation from qualified ICC profiled print shops. You’ll get what you pay for, rather than paying for the Shadowness name and getting sub-standard prints.
- We will hold contests wherein there will be several categories and many more prizes than the usual 1st-3rd places. 30-50% of all participants will be winners. We hope to encourage all levels of participants regardless of their skill level and focus on promoting a platform abundant in collaborations and creative thinking. All monies collected from subscriptions and donations will be applied to contests after the Shadowness bills have been paid.
This is the promise that we make to the Members of Shadowness. We promise to deliver a fun place to learn, full of intense artworks and open, caring members who are as interested in spreading the knowledge and love of art as we are!
Cheers, Shadows!
