Anonymous asked: Are nonmembers of the Art Fiends allowed to submit art related to the Art fiend prompts?
Absolutely; in fact, we strongly encourage it! The prompts allow the Artfiends to work towards interesting and often fun new approaches to artistic endeavours in hopes of sparking discussion and inspiration. They also allow other artists to get involved and join in on the collaborative effort!
Anonymous asked: So I uh, assume that members are just people who run this blog, and people who aren't can still submit art and react to prompts and stuff? Or is this supposed to be more of a personal/between friends only kind of stuff? Also is this supposed to be strictly MLP blog or it just so happens that most folk here like ponies so they draw ponies? Sorry if I'm annoying or ignorant in any way.
No need to apologize! The Art-Fiends met through the pony fandom but we’ve always supported the idea of making any art that you feel strongly about. The whole point of this tumblr is so that people who are aware of us can participate in the same art exercises we do that help us loosen up and explore new things. Feel free to submit!
gaiascope asked: I'm kind of confused as to what art-fiends is but it's almost overwhelmingly awesome and I felt like pointing that out! So like... continue being super awesome I guess! Okay so maybe I do have a question what is art-fiends exactly? xD
Thanks for the kind words! We have a vague about page over here, but to sum it up, ArtFiends is a bunch of friends most of whom are artists in some form or another. Creating art, inspiring it, and giving feedback on it. The desire for improvement is a large driving force for us.
We have some really cool stuff coming up soon. More prompts, more redline streams and more ways to get involved! Thanks again for your support!

mediumsizetex asked: Bless you all for the Westia Project; people like you are the reason I never despair for this fandom no matter how many scumbags and jerks try to stick to it. This really was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen.
Thank you so much for your kind words! The fanart for Westia was meant to be an outpouring of encouragement for a young artist whose creativity and enthusiasm we truly support. We hope that Westia’s creator understands that our fan art for her was meant as a sincere gesture of appreciation for her character.
To Westia’s creator, we hope that you keep drawing and writing, and that we’ll see even more from you in the future. Please take care and never stop being creative!
Anonymous asked: Are any of the Art-Fiends not visual artists? If so, what other types of art do you guys produce?
AF has a lot of really talented members from lots of different fields.
For example, in terms of audio, AWorldofSound, Griffinilla and Batongmalaque are all fantastic, both as musicians and as composers. SpiderJewel is a voice actress of immense skill and YeNguyen is a beautiful writer of prose!
