Greyrockel's Stuff

S'up, Greyrockel here. I make animations and such. Primarily Gay SFM animations.

Where to hit me up once Tumblr’s gone.

Well it’s looking increasingly like the ‘rescue plan’ probably won’t end up being anything. ( If they do suddenly pop out after this post announcing their great site, and invite us all over then yay, but they’ve blown past every deadline they’ve set, so far. ) Like basically anyone and everyone else who’s doing NSFW stuff, I’ll have to move next week, and like most people I’m just kind of registering to most places that seem vaguely interesting. Though that means stretching out thin across multiple platforms, to hedge my bets and see which ones will grow. (Similar exoduses in the past have spawned new sites, like the Sheezyart exodus spawning y-gallery and furaffinity. ) So the next years will probably be filled with a lot of smaller galleries getting off the ground thanks to renewed interest, and artists trying to find new places to settle down. Of course, being spread out over a half dozen sites is going to be ridiculous, so once things settle down and I get a better picture of how many people are active on the various platforms, I’ll have a better idea of which sites to focus on, and which aren’t really worth it.

The Gay Pornsmithing Discord. 

https://discord.gg/HvHThnZ If you’re interested in making porn yourself, come hop over onto my discord server. It’s been running ever since that pornsmithing contest I organized like 2 years ago. 

The Big 3

Twitter: https://twitter.com/greyrockel For now it’s more or less home base, but twitter is not exactly great for artists or for showing stuff off. But until they too kick off NSFW people ( which seems likely.) they’ve got by far the largest install base. FurAffinity: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/greyrockel/ FA is pretty stable, and I think I’ll try to keep up a regular presence there going forwards, though it’s not great for videos. Atleast this is a safe bet. Pixiv: https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=30819972 Pixiv is nice enough, I quite like the recommendation and tagging system they have there, though having to censor stuff is hella annoying, (especially for animations.)  (Stuff here will be censored.)

Small, or up and coming:

Pillowfort: https://www.pillowfort.io/Greyrockel Pillowfort seems interesting, and could be pretty capable one day. In like.. 1-2 years.  They’ve currently got load issues, and I think registrations are temporarily closed. If they sort out their issues they have the potential to be a great site, but until they get their free accounts system up and running in mid-2019, I doubt many people will make accounts there.  (They want to have a premium + free user setup to finance the site, but if they can turn that into a reliable revenue stream remains to be seen.) BaraAddiction: https://baraaddiction.net/profile/Greyrockel BaraAddiction seems entirely new, I’ve never really heard of it before. And while it is currently pretty unpolished, it’s been getting updates pretty quickly. So pretty unsure about it, but it does seem more willing to experiment than a couple other gallery sites. Barabox: https://barabox.io/user/Greyrockel Barabox still exists, but I’m in general kind of wary of it. The moment it failed to get off the ground, it seemed like it just died. Neither their twitter or site newsfeed even recognize or comment on the tumblr purge, and the newest news post on the site is from November 2017 talking about a Q2 2018 update that I’m not sure ever happened.On top of that, from the early discussions about it, Barabox was bankrolled by someone. It does not have any kind of ads or other revenue stream, and I am extremely wary of what’s going to happen once they start needing a revenue stream.(Though the revenue stream and long term prospects is a huge issue for all of these smaller sites. Hosting a website for a lot of people, and trying to develop it are both costly propositions. )Joker: Y-gallery, I’ll probably join it if they ever finish it up and let people join. (But who knows when, or even if that’ll be.)

[greyrockel]

A reblog before the possible purge: Also a small addition: Newgrounds https://greyrockel.newgrounds.com/ (I am able to export unreal builds over to it, so I guess I’ll take a look at uploading a realtime version of one of my animations there sometime. Or possibly a small game. )

solitonmedic replied to your post: Where to hit me up once Tumblr’s gone.

I still say you’ll have a much better time at Newgrounds, however SFM and most animations there got a bad rep there thanks to piss poor submissions… however everything’s subject to change. NG has a expansive community already and the recent migration made it even more expansive.

Try as I might, I’m just unable to see newgrounds as a platform to get onto. Yeah I made an account there, and yeah they have a pretty big community. For me it’s just so incredibly linked to when I used to go there as a kid and play flash games or watch SUPER RAD (actually not that rad.) flash movies and the like. And the prospect of ramming in there and slapping down a pornonade stand just feels off to me.  Though I guess they are very capable for stuff like video uploads, so I should probably give them a fair shake too.

Hi again I saw this post about Cumblr since you were looking for a gallery type place I wanted to bring it up,have you heard about Cumblr? it's in progress right now.

Cumblr is as far as I know a scam. They started a GoFundMe that they promptly took down after people started voicing their concerns over it being a scam.They started a Patreon, where none of the tiers do anything except assure people they can ‘cancel at any time’.Their site doesn’t list a single detail, or mockup, or design about the page.It just doesn’t sit right, all it is now is a welcome page someone could have drafted up pretty quickly. Until they can actually show some progress towards being a site in development. ( Sketches, mockups, explanations of systems, ToS, etc. ) I’m going to assume it’s just someone opportunistic seeing that they can cash in on people’s desperation, unfortunately.

[greyrockel]

Hi have you heard of Subscribestar? It's an alternate Patreon site.

I haven’t heard of it before now, but it looks rather nice.It’s very good that more alternatives to patreon are popping up. Though with the tumblr purge looming I’m mostly interested in finding somewhere I can display + playback my stuff. But it could be interesting to look at once things settle down. For now though, I’m kind of keeping my eyes peeled at the various alternatives popping up.

[greyrockel]

Well, I guess that’s it then.

Reblog for the weekend crew.

[honedperfection]

December 17th - a rescue plan

Some good news, I’ve been talking to two developers now and got them working together, we just had a meeting with the guys behind an existing large (millions of users) site similar to Tumblr, with a vibrant and open-minded community, and more importantly, it has open-minded owners who believe in free speech. They think we can get something done here to rescue the whole community.

I’m not allowed to reveal the site name yet. I can tell you it’s mainstream, open to everyone, open-minded and welcoming. (It’s not WordPress or any site owned by Facebook or Twitter. It’s not Pillowfort, that’s in closed beta. It’s not Ello, that’s mainly for artists. It’s not kinkspace or fetlife, those are too specialist. It’s not jux, that seems to be closed. It’s not Soup, that seems still in development and too small.)

One of the reasons for delaying the announcement for next few days is they don’t want a “land grab” where people take the names of current popular Tumblr users over there (cyber squatting). So they are looking at ways for existing Tumblr users to keep the same names on the new site.

More info over the days to come.

The plan is, broadly:

1. By December 9th, announcement of the new site and how to secure your username there

2. By December 10th, an online tool for bloggers to copy their existing content to the new site automatically, with the same tags and captions.

3. Bloggers will need to copy their content across between December 10th and December 17th if they want to use the automatic tool.

4. My understanding is that after December 17th there will be no public access to any “flagged” posts on Tumblr, but the original poster will still be able to see the flagged post (for a short time at least). Therefore, the original poster may still be able to manually download a post to their own PC or phone, after December 17th, and manually upload it to the other site. But if you have lots of posts that will take a long time, it will be better to use the automatic tool before December 17th.

Please understand that these dates are approximate and may change for technical or other reasons.

There may be a few rough edges or not so perfect looking site design on the transfer tool. Everyone is doing their best. The main goal here is to help as many people as possible preserve access to their content, in the short space of time Tumblr has allowed us, and preserve as much as possible of the Tumblr community spirit somewhere new.

The new site will cater for photo, GIF, text and html posts. It will not offer video and audio posts, due to cost reasons - maybe in future, but for now you will need to preserve video and audio content yourself in some other place.

If your Tumblr blog has a mixture of original content and reblogs, or all reblogs, all of that can be copied over to the new site. Reblogs will become “your” original content if nobody else posted them yet, otherwise they will be shown as reblogs. The devs are looking at ways to preserve attribution of reblogs back to the original Tumblr poster, if that person also moves to the new site.

Important: your Likes cannot be copied from Tumblr to the new site. You will have to go find the same posts again on the new site, and like them afresh.

(Similarly, existing reblog comments, asks, messages and other user interaction on Tumblr cannot be copied to the new site - that’s just too much to do, in the short time available.)

If you want to preserve any of your existing Liked posts on Tumblr, you will need to either: (1) download the post to your own PC, or: (2A) reblog it now to your own Tumblr blog, and then (2B) use the automatic tool, before December 17th, to move your whole Tumblr blog across to the new site.

If you have Liked a lot of posts here on Tumblr, the gridllr.com webapp should be able to help you do steps 1 and 2A quickly, I mean download or reblog.

(Someone complained to me today about the appearance of Gridllr on a phone. It’s best to use Gridllr on a PC, Mac or Tablet with a large screen.)

If you have liked a post here on Tumblr and the original poster decides to delete it, or even to delete their entire blog, some time before December 17th, then that post will be permanently lost. So if you want to be sure to preserve any of your Liked posts, you should best download or reblog as soon as possible. If it’s reblogged to your own blog it is safe from deletion, at least for next few days.

Obviously, you will lose access, after December 17th, to all past posts you have liked, if Tumblr has flagged them as NSFW. Again, the steps (1), or (2A) and (2B) covered above will be the only way to hold on to these posts.

Oh I so hope this works. It would be great to get this out so we can try to get as many people as possible all back in one place and not split up all over different platforms.

Please reblog

Here’s hoping

[gigglefuck]

everyone who see’s this from Me PLEASE reblog this!

Guys, check this out.

We now have a plan to save this Tumblr community!

Help is on the way!

More to come!

I want to personally thank all those volunteers who are involved in this project.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens here, if they can actually whip up a tumblr-transfer tool then I imagine a lot of people would find it very useful.

"Vintage Greyrockel" Bundle. (2016&2017)

Heyo there! Since it's 2018 and all, I figured I wanted to collect all my old stuff for easy access. So here it is, all of it bundled up nice and tight. ( This also works as a nice way to try out Gumroad.). So here it is! Approx 40 images available in 1080p & 2160p. And 45 animations/video clips available in 1080p & 2160p. And they're at 60fps, and high bitrates, compared to what you'll find on my tumblr, or uploaded to gfycat etc. (There are a couple single-loops that are only 720p, and a few videos that were never rendered in 2160p, though. Like the anonymous soldier videos.). Hopefully y'all will enjoy 'em. (And look forwards to the way better stuff I am going to be doing, going forwards.). The download is in the form of .zips for various categories. Like there's a .zip for all the 'Anonymous Soldier' animations in 1080p, for example. So you can download the ones you're interested in, or just download everything indiscriminately! Cheers!

Heyo y’all, I figured I’d give this a go, and see how it goes. (And I really want to see how Gumroad holds up.) I’ve set up a gumroad, and the linked purchase is a pack containing Everything I’ve made + posted. All Animations, all images. At 1080p, 60fps, and high bitrates.

And at a ‘pay what you want’ price.(1$ and up)

So you can grab them for 1$, or you can input any other value you want if you’d like to buy me a drink. ( Which I would very much appreciate.)

(It used to be 0USD+, but gumroad changed their rules and 0usd and up items can’t be more than 250MB. So I just nudged it up.)

~40 image posts & ~45 animations/clips.

( There’s also a 2160p image & anim bundle, but that one’s 20usd+pay what you want. I feel bad enough directing a lot of free traffic there, without them earning anything off of it. And the 2160p/4k bundle is a whooping 5.2GB, so it’s a lot of bandwidth if I made that free as well.)

Anyhow, hope y’all enjoy it.

[greyrockel]

Eh, this seems like a good enough time to reblog this. For anyone interested in grabbing all my pre-2018 stuff, this is probably the best way to do it. ( Plus you can get videos at 1080p60 or 4k60 if you want. )

[greyrockel]

Well, I guess that’s it then.

Glad you have an FA! I’ll be following you there from now on.

[greyrockel]

Glad to hear it! I’m still a bit unsure what kind of stuff I -should- post to my FA account honestly. I am tempted to just post anything/everything, but at the same time I kinda want to respect that a lot of people in the furry community aren’t super keen on human-only content, and I kinda want to limit myself to only uploading stuff that has monsters or anthros there. 

[greyrockel]

The Discord is still active, if y’all want to pop your head in there.

I’m pretty sure that the tumblr collapse is more or less going to rip apart any semblance of a community of gay 3D artists we had here, but the discord I set up ages ago, alongside the pornmaking contest is still going and somewhat active. So if people want to drop in and hang out / chat while this dumb tumblr storm roars, feel free to drop in! https://discord.gg/HvHThnZ

Do you stilll have that animated gif of Riley Brody getting fucked against a bar counter by some generic guy?

I had to check, but I'm pretty sure I’ve never made any animations with Riley Brody in them. So that was probably someone else.

[greyrockel]

How can I view these videos ? What I see, (Military), is REALLY HOT and I'd LOVE to view entire animation. Thanks for your creations and for your answer.

I’m guessing you’re talking about the soldierfuck gifs?That’s what there is, they’re not gif extracts from a larger video or anything like that. Just a couple gifs, so what’s on my tumblr here is what there is.
