™A LITTLE GUIDANCE
Make yourself at home.
Find your way around the gallery, your collection, and the review process.
How do I join the free community?
Open Contributor access to see the current sign-in and membership options. When account registration is available, create your member profile and use My studio to manage it. Favorites stay private. Public profiles and artwork comments are reviewed before publication. Adult collections use a separate age-verification process.
How do I save, comment, or block someone?
Open an artwork detail page to save it or send a comment for review. Community shows your favorites, comment status, and blocked members. Use Report comment or Report profile to flag a concern. Blocking hides profiles and comments from each other while signed in; signed-out visitors can still read public content.
Where can I find human sculptures?
Under Browse by subject, choose People, then Figurative sculpture. This also selects Sculpture under Browse by format. Nude sculptures remain in the separate verified-adult collections.
How do the adult art collections work?
Under People, Artistic nudes and Bodyscapes are reserved for verified adults aged 18 or over. They are separate from the general gallery, with no public nude previews. Independent verification is required for adult collections, and public adult-art uploads are not enabled.
How do I browse the collection?
Choose a format, a subject, or both. Format describes the kind of work; subject describes what it is about. Subcategory menus show choices with available work. Use Style & tags for qualities such as abstract, and Clear filters to start again. A work can appear under several subjects without being duplicated.
How do I contribute?
Open Contributor access to check your account and contributor status. Apply through Help & requests if you need approval. Your account must be approved and independently age verified before contributor access is available. Then Share your work lets you add an image, title, description, format, subjects, and optional collection. Complete the rights and safety declarations and submit it for review.
What makes a collection?
Give your submissions the same collection name. Approved works are grouped together on the Collections page. You can change a collection name through Edit artwork in your studio; the change returns that work to review.
Why can only I see my upload?
New and edited submissions stay private to their contributor and reviewers until approved. Your studio shows the current status and any reviewer feedback.
How do I change or withdraw a work?
Choose Edit artwork in My studio. You can correct its details, move it to another collection, or withdraw it. A withdrawn work remains in your studio and can be submitted for review again.
Which files can I upload?
You can upload JPEG, PNG, or WebP images up to 20 MB, plus eligible original video, audio, PDF, DOCX, and EPUB files for review. The gallery prepares a smaller image preview and removes embedded metadata from image uploads. Keep your original file separately. Larger files and unsupported formats should remain at their documented source.
How do I report a concern?
Open an artwork and choose Report a concern. Sign in and describe the issue. Reports are private to reviewers. Account, privacy, and review appeals can be sent through Help & requests. For your own work, withdrawal is available immediately in your studio.
Is my age verified?
An adult declaration and account sign-in do not verify age. Independent verification is available only to approved accounts.
Can visitors join today?
Anyone can browse the public gallery. Open Contributor access to see current account availability. Artwork uploads become available after a completed profile, independent age verification, and approval. Adult collections require their separate verification process.
Share film, sound, websites, sculpture, books or software
Choose the matching format on Share your work, then add subjects and optional subcategories. Upload a cover image or sculpture photo, add an HTTPS link to the complete work, and provide creator credits and rights details. For eligible uploads, approved original media files can be offered as direct downloads from Hills of Venus; larger files and unsupported formats should remain at their documented source. For books, identify the edition and translation. For software, identify the version and include rights evidence for code, assets and dependencies. Reviewers check the full work before publishing its listing.
