Tips for artists coming back to tumblr from twitter

Have a pinned post with your name and links, like you would on twitter. You can also add links to your bio with html.

Find a blog theme that is very image friendly.

Create an art tag so people can find your work!! Especially if you also reblog others’ stuff onto your main. If you don’t feel like getting creative, #my art is a popular one.

Popular art tags here are # artists on tumblr, # my art, # illustration, and # drawing, or just simply # art. You can add as many tags as you want to a post, although only the first 5 or so are prioritized in search.

Pinned tags are now a thing? so like if you have a bunch of tags on your blog but only want a select few to show up, you do that in blog settings.

You can also turn on tipping on your posts to allow people to donate to you if you connect a Stripe account. I don't know specifics.

Create an art-only sideblog for people to follow if they don’t want to see all your reblogs.

Submit your art to blogs like @art or @artistalley for a chance at getting featured or reaching a wider audience!

You can use spaces in tags. Please use spaces in tags. It makes navigation much easier.

@tips has a more in-depth explanation of various functions and how to use them so check that out if the UI here is overwhelming.

Go to @changes and @wip for updates/help/whatever on what staff are doing with the site. You can also make requests for new features I think? idk

cadaverkeys

looking for two very specific songs ONE SECOND.

cadaverkeys

FIRST ONE okay uhm I think the song is called Frankenstein but i dont know the band who made it. Theres a male vocalist and the song in particular is about rotting in your room all day. The cover for the song/album looked like this. Genre is indie rock but the vocalist is pretty grungy.

SECOND ONE the song i THINK is called Peer Pressure! AGAIN, dont remember the band name. This song is about meeting someone who leads an exciting life and realising how mundane you have always been in comparison- there's a line in particular about not wanting to go on tour. The genre is indie and it's got a male vocalist. Cover looks like this.

some of the lyrics i remember are " all my thoughts the same way/ i think i'll get to it some day". the melody is generally quite discordic. IF EITHER OF THESE ONES RING A BELL LMK IVE BEEN ON AND OFF SEARCHING SINCE 2019. (I discovered both of these on spotify if it helps!)

cadaverkeys

OKAY BOTH SONGS HAVE BEEN FOUND! thank u to @minotaurmyth and one of my anons for identifying Frankenstein! Its by Disco Inc and the album cover looks like this!

you can find the spotify link here!

AND thank u to one of my anons and @wreninahouse for identifying Peer Pressure as Dear Pressure by Miracles of Modern Science! The album cover actually looks like this,

It's more folksy than I remember! You can find the link for this one here

stop being funnier than me on my own post

cryptotheism

That surreal PS1 era of 3D graphics is ideal for the occult. So much of occult art is attempting to explore the ineffable, to depict something beyond words. That era of 3D art was dominated by the rapid onset of powerful new technologies. It was an artistic peek through a keyhole into a grand imagined future. Magic and vaporware go hand in hand.

cryptotheism

You get me.

Early 3D art was concrete enough to represent the things they were trying to represent, but still crucially abstract enough to allow the readers imagination to flood into the gaps.

Even the earlier half-generation of 3D allowed artists to create surreal dreamscapes that would be at home in any grimoire or alchemical text.

akechi

specifically in reference to game development, popular engines have become so advanced and the push for hyperrealism so strong that occult art and games have become oversaturated with blood and gore, which completely discounts the fear that comes with the uncanny valley, liminal spaces, and disconcerting binaural audio and the weight that these aspects can have when it comes to making something genuinely unsettling, odd, and memorable.

cryptotheism

The purpose of occult art is not necessarily to scare or frighten or unsettle. It is to communicate an incommunicable idea. In my opinion, yhe goal of occult art is to induce wonder, to induce awe.

saw a tweet that was talking about horror and queerness and it implied that the queerness of horror is a new thing, something that we just recently created, but like. babygirl it has been there the whole time. horror has been queer the entire time it definitely is not new

Reenactor throws a spear at a drone

supapoopa

What a time to be alive.

tenthcorner

“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.

The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.

Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)

kineticpenguin

I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it

when you’re a gay lion and you accidentally tried to introduce your lesbian lioness friend to one of her own exes at a gay bar and she goes into the bathroom and bitches you out for not being able to tell her endlessly rotating cast of girlfriends apart which isn’t really fair because first of all they all keep dyeing their hair different colors and second of all she keeps getting back together with different ones at different times and meanwhile you’ve been “single” for like 8 months but are spending a lot of time with one specific guy who works at your old co-op and were going to excitedly tell her about it tonight but now you’ve ruined the whole subject of dating by trying to introduce her to her own ex at a gay bar (which is a watering hole. because you’re lions.)

[VD: A blurry video of a man presumably crying and drinking alcohol while "Somebody that I Used To Know" by Gotye plays. The caption on the video says "but u didn't have to cut me off nekalakininahappena wiwanatin” while the audio is “but you didn’t have to cut me off make out like it never happened and that we were nothing.” End VD]
