Nope. @greyhands - Tumblr Blog

Incredible that I have to say this, but trying to neg an artist into making the art YOU want to see instead of the art they want to make... Is not a very good strategy? Being rude to people doesn't get you what you want, in fact, it often has the opposite effect. Dork.

#happened to me too several times in my ask box #and it's making me angry and sad at the same time #especially when you're drawing fanarts..

Since some of you don't seem to understand how this 'new notes' thing works, I'll break it down:

I'm the OP. I'm making this post. If you like, comment, reblog (without comment) on this post, then I'm the one who will see all those notes in my activity page.

However...

If you reblog (with comment), I will get a notification that you did that, but any likes/comments/reblogs (without comment) you get on that reblog will only be shown to you. As OP I won't see them.

If someone adds a reblog (with comment) to your reblog...as OP I won't see that. I won't see any of those notes in my activity page.

Basically, if someone with a large following makes a comment, then they will get all the notes and OP will see nothing. If OP has said something silly because they're, y'know, 21 and it happens, and then someone reblogs it onto the dash of someone with a large following who then dunks on them for fun? OP doesn't see it, doesn't get notes for it, but they're gonna get the harrassment for it in their inbox.

If I, someone with a 5 digit follower count, reblog something to correct misinformation on Ancient Egypt, then OP will never see it unless it was on the original post, but I will continue to get notes on that post even though it's not my post. If I reblog fanart, or just art in general, with a comment like 'Oh this is so lovely!' then OP will not see any of the notes from people reblogging it from me. They'll only see my reblog. So it's possible for an art post by someone else to have 200 notes for them, but 9000 for someone who reblogs it with a comment, and the OP artist will have no idea it's been seen by that many people.

It's killing blow to the community we've built here, by someone higher up who doesn't understand that being able to see all the comments and reblogs is what makes this site the place I keep coming back to.

That's what sucks.

I encourage people to go to tumblr's support page, select contact support, and then in the dropdown menu select 'Feedback' and leave polite and constructive feedback (for those of you who enjoy 'emails worded politely but are a strong 'are you an idiot?', try that way of wording it). They're more likely to listen to you if you're not an asshole about it. I've already gone and done this, and I hope others will too.

I'm testing the dating system with March - I had fun drawing a custom postcard for their first date because I'm sure Nell would have teased him haha

I’ve started catching up on Fields of Mistria, and I finally broke a certain seal in the mines. So to celebrate, I had to sketch our exhausted dragon !

DuckDuckGo's new search feature comes as the internet is being flooded with AI-generated slop.

The filter relies on manually curated open-source blocklists, including the ‘nuclear’ list, provided by uBlockOrigin and uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist,” DuckDuckGo said in a post on X. “While it won’t catch 100% of AI-generated results, it will greatly reduce the number of AI-generated images you see.

Left: AI filter is off Right: AI filter is on

Another tip for DDG - if you want to permanently get rid of DDG's AI features (which you can turn off in settings, but only temporarily) - for now you can just use noai.duckduckgo.com as your search engine. Works as advertised in the name.

Your Nate art is so yummy I HAVE to know: do you have any faceclaims or references you use? How do you draw sexy man so well?!!!! Thank you for answering!!!

Haha I've got this question in my DM a few times already ^^

I don't have a faceclaim, but in my early Nate's drawings, you couldn't miss the inspiration from Flynn Rider, to give him a bit of that Disney Prince vibe.

I was also already picturing his nose like Anders, from Dragon Age Origins, and his hairstyle is a mix between Anders' and one from the Sims 4 back when I tried to create him and the team ^^;;; even if now I'm drawing his hair more wavy.

I think the main focus points when I draw him are the nose, the thick eyebrows and warm eyes, and the jawline.

Thank you for the ask ( ´ ▽ ` )

#answering asks #the wayhaven chronicles #I'm curious to hear about your faceclaims if you have some though !

Hello, sorry to bother you, but i wanted to ask. Can i use yours art with Nate (Wayhaven :D) as reference for commission? Like, if i wanted commission, I'll use your art as ref? /Bc you Nate is awesome//

Hello anon ! Yes, no problem as long as it's for reference only (no tracing, no AI) !

Thank you for asking first and for your compliment !!

The year is 2025 and something in the water compelled me to open this can of worms again

I just want you to know that your art . your art continues to blow my mind every day. I found you through the Arcana fandom and I have yet to see any out-of-game Asra art as gorgeous as yours 😭😭❤️ Your proportions, your postures, your expressions, your coloring, your clothing..... I aspire to reach your level of artistic talent every time I pick up a pencil (and thank you for satiating my hunt for Asra content) MUCH LOVE ❤️❤️

Ah, thank you so much, I’m really touched by your message, which helps me especially during this difficult time, when I’m doubting my artistic abilities (and my career in general, with the economic crisis, artificial intelligence, all that stuff…).

Asra will always be a comforting character for me to draw, and it makes me really happy to be able to share my drawings with other fans ♡( ◡‿◡ )

I also recommend checking out the illustrations of @arimesi and @mr-ame if you don’t know them, I’ve always loved their way of drawing Asra.

I wish you the best on your own drawing journey and I thank you again with this little drawing of Asra as a parent (it’s a bit old, but I’ve never posted this one before) :
