I’ve opened commissions for good!
Since the start of the pandemic last year, I’ve been struggling to find and keep part-time gigs that help pay my family’s bills, groceries, my medication, and therapist appointments.
For now, I’ve opened up 15 slots total (10 SFW and 5 not SFW)
I can be reached via DMs or at jun.noire (at) gmail (dot) com, and extra details are as follows:

Please share this if you can!
I would like to apologize to every single one of my wips ever

Watch this space, I’m rebranding very soon!
What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?
An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:
I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.
Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.
A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)
So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.
And I just got confirmation from a second ex-colleague that a deal with midjourney has been brewing since months ago. Not any extra details, just that's a real thing.
Shit, I don't see any way for this to happen that doesn't make it an apocalyptic event the size of the porn ban. Fuck.
Shit. This may be pure chance and coincidence, and it's not he is in a position to be able to talk about anything, but seeing prominent staff members announcing they are moving their original photography out of tumblr just two weeks ago seems a pretty significant cue of shit to be about to hit the fan.
You don’t suck at Lineart, you’re just not familiar with line weight👍🏼!
Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. I’d do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but it’s just too long (which is great because it’s a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while you’re there.
Anyway, go check it out. I just wanted to save it and share it because I didn’t know how much I didn’t know!

The only thing I need tumblr to do is to get like... cool with the idea you can hire people here to do commissions for you and to like.. consider monetary support for artists cuz one of the reasons and the biggest reason I moved to twitter in the first place is because people there buy my art. I make a living there doing art. And the vibe here is **we don't do that here** If you want artists to be here and do art you gotta be okay with the concept of artists trying to make money. I hate capitalism as much as the next person but I'm also 30 years old living with my fucking parents because I can't pay for a 1 bedroom apartment. Artists are not 'big business'. We're not Disney. We're just people trying to make a living or some money for groceries and shit.
THIS. this is why I don't bother posting my work here. I hate instagram but that's where I've had the most consistent business for Years. I've posted work here before and if I think about the ratio of "I want this" tags to actual comms I will lose my shit. and so many people here balk at literally any price being put on art
just some pointers for returning artists/blogs!
don't feel like you have to "art dump" the work you've made while you've been gone. post your art separately and schedule it! increase that visibility! let all your work be appreciated!
tumblr high-traffic times are the evenings, while twitter's were mornings. keep that in mind for posting, no matter your timezone!
tags are your best friends. use general tags (#artists on tumblr, #illustration, any media/character names for fanworks, descriptive terms for original work like "cat" and "kitten" for your pet's portrait, etc)
maybe even include a tag directory on your blog!
seriously, work I made a decade ago still gets notes because of tags
reblog your own work as often as you like! please do, it helps with visibility and there's no limit to how often you can
most importantly, have fun, be kind, and support other artists!!!

Commission info | Ko-fi
there have been many cases already international clients dropping their commissions from filipino artists or avoiding commissioning filipino creators altogether, either due to a fear of consequences getting associated with us because of current events or the misguided notion that not supporting us somehow hurts the oppressive government we’re under. lemme address both those issues:
for the first reason, nothing will happen to you, a foreigner, for supporting filipinos. theres nothing to be afraid of, youre not in this country and wont suffer any consequences. many of us, however? we’re afraid. especially artists and creators who rely on commissions to support themselves and their families
for the second reason, you are not hurting our oppressors at all. you are hurting filipinos, majority of which did not want this to happen and are actively speaking out against the looming dictatorship. dropping filipino creators does nothing but hurt us. our inflation rates are predicted to rise, and money is fast becoming an even bigger issue for so so many
so if youre looking for art, dont give up on us. commission filipino artists and/or boost commission posts! 1 USD is literally enough to buy a meal here, it really helps. here is a link to a thread of filipino artists posting their commission rates. and here is another thread of filipino commission rates. tips and donations outside of comms to these artists help even more.

Glancing at my Tw*tter feed and existing in the 2020s is both hell on earth and hell on-line
Catching up with backlogged commissions and other misc art and important stuff. Mental health gets bad at times but I’m still here.
