A reminder of something that will never change at Magma: everyone is welcome here. ❤️

Magma brings together artists from all over the world, with so many different backgrounds, identities, and perspectives. What connects us is creativity and the joy of making things together.

Discrimination, hate speech, bullying, harassment and trolling have no place in our community. We’ll continue doing our best to make Magma a safe and welcoming place to create and connect.

Be safe, be cool, and happy drawing!
Pyro and the Magma team

@Cybernaut putting the new @Likewise brushes to the test.
This was done using only the free Poorman's pack!!!

Looking for a way to spend your Mags? How about on a new creator brush pack? We’re excited to announce the latest brush packs added to Magma, made by Likewise!

Likewise is another one of our most active artists on the platform, hosting big Art Jams through their Sweatshop Artspace: a community focused on improving creative skill through regular challenges.

There are thee new brush packs available. Find them highlighted in your brush panel or over on Likewise's profile page.

Likewise Duality (400 Mags)

This is the core drawing tool set with inking and rendering brushes. Be sure to try the Dry Thumb as a blend tool with with paint setting enabled.

Likewise KiraKira (200 Mags)

This set of six stamp brushes is focused effects that will add a little extra flair to your artworks with things like bubbles, stars, and…well, flares.

Likewise Poorman’s (FREE)

This free brushpack from Likewise contains eight brushes for adding texture to your pieces. From fog and noise, to dust, dirt, and foliage, this pack is sure to bring some more character to the scene.

We hope you enjoy these new brush packs and we can’t wait to see what you create with them. And don’t forget to follow Likewise on Magma too!

WE'VE EXTENDED THE CONTEST!

We had some trouble with our announcement email getting out, so we've added an extra week onto the contest duration. This gives those who missed it an extra chance to register and participate, and gives everyone just a little bit more time to do some awesome things with their community.

If you haven't registered for the contest yet, you have until the end of this weekend.

PLEASE READ THE FULL CONTEST RULES HERE

Good luck. Have Fun!

Kicking off the month with another big update for Magma and Art Jams. We’ve revamped the flow of creating new Jams and even added scheduled events!
Read more about this and the other changes in our full announcement post: https://magma.com/blog/sept-2026-scheduled-jams

Recently, we switched to a randomized order of live Art Jams to help new and smaller Jams to get seen. We saw some great results with that but also noted your requests for being able to sort by the most popular again and also be able to search.

Well now you can!

We've added different sorting options and a search bar to the Live Jams section. You can search based on the title of the Jam and the host's name.
Go test it out!

Welcome to another Magma contest. This time it’s a little different. Rather than only making an awesome artwork, we want to see you build a vibrant community.

Our latest contest is focused on Artspaces!

See the full details here:

Want to keep your chat channels clean? Try out the new automatic moderation feature available for Artspace channels and Art Jam chat.

We think this will be a great feature for live streamers, event hosts, and large communities.

You can choose to either hide offensive words or swearing as well. This setting is not enabled by default. You can decide which channels in your Artspace and which Art Jams you want it to be active for.

We have more details in our user guide here
