Announcing Krita-Artists.org.
Hey everybody, Emmet here.
I'm happy to let you all know about a cool new development in the Krita community: Raghukamath, a professional artist from India and a key member of the Krita community, has helped put together a new web community called Krita Artists.
The basic idea is to create a central hub for all things Krita; a place where the entire online community can post art, give and receive support, share resources, write tutorials, talk development, and just hang out.
You've heard me go on and on (...and on some more) about how Krita is a free, open source, and community-driven project, and that the community is at the heart of everything we do. Why? Because it's true! Without the passion and generosity of the Krita community, this grassroots development model just wouldn't work at our current scale or pace.
But what, or rather, where is the Krita community? Well, up until now it's been kind of all over the place, from #Krita on IRC, to the Krita forums from KDE, to the development repos and trackers, to Steam, to reddit and all over social media! There's nothing wrong with that and I expect those communities to continue to serve a purpose, but the creation of a central hub for the Krita community where everyone can gather is, frankly, long overdue. Krita Artists is that hub, and I hope you'll join us there.

Even though Krita Artists has only just launched, there's already quite a lot of nice art and interesting discussion going on over there and I can't wait to see what it will grow into over time. Please check it out and make an account (or sign in with a Google or Twitter account) and join the conversation.
See you there!
