It was closed because we have a megathread for artists to not only answer requests for work but for them to show off their work. It's to keep the forum clean - imagine if every artist here posted their own thread. It would be a mess.
You're welcome to use the megathread. Introduce yourself and post some of your work. Please note any work you do must fit within our signature guidelines of 500 x 100px @ 50kb max.
