Guidelines

Process posts two or three times a week, the finished thing when it is finished, and a room where members talk to each other.

How we behave here

Community guidelines

Small room, few rules, all of them enforced.

Critique: say what you want. Post what you were trying to do and the one thing you think is wrong. Critics answer that first.

No "looks great". It is not kind, it is just quiet. If you have nothing specific, say nothing.

Nothing leaves the members’ rooms. No screenshots of process posts, no reuploads, no reposting somebody else’s work in progress anywhere.

Files are for making things. Use them for anything, including commercially. Do not resell them as files.

Off topic is genuinely off topic. Do not turn it into a second workroom.

I moderate on Mondays. Ida and Effie moderate the rest of the time and their decisions stand.

What you get

Why people join Brightwell

Everything, first

Members see finished work days before it goes anywhere else, and see the versions that came before it.

The process posts

Two or three a week. Sketches, dead ends, the reasoning, and the bits that are embarrassing until they work.

Files and sources

Project files, brushes, presets, stems, templates — whatever the thing was actually made in.

A room, not a comment section

Members talk to each other. It is small and it is moderated and it is the best part.

Monthly hangout

An hour on camera. Half of it is answering things, half of it is working while people watch.

No sponsors

This membership is the whole business model, which is why nothing here has to be safe.
