By the end of this month all of my project work should be out! I have yet to sign up for any new projects, so in theory I'll be taking the time to work on my own very much backburnered things, or maybe just rest a lot because oh wow is my body really mad at me for reasons unknown-- to me anyway.
A new personal project I need to work on, probably sooner rather than later, is move my entire body of work to somewhere other than DeviantArt as they decided you should only be able to view user galleries logged in. :| I know DA is far from the best website, but as a straight forward and free image host with a flexible gallery system, I've been using it for my extended portfolio. Obviously with this viewing change I can't do that anymore, so I'm trying to figure out where to move to and what exactly I want to upload. I don't particularly want to reupload everything I've ever done, but it was nice to see that on DA and how my art has changed over the years. I've been pretty consistent about uploading there, so it's easy for me to see the timeline of my work and progress through my DA account.
This also had me thinking about all the other social media places I use and what I use them for. I really did intend Patreon to be my central catch all hub due to its subscription nature, but as we discussed last month it really isn't great for a lot of things and I do not have the health to make the time and energy to refit my work to be postable on here (well, postable in a way that is presentable to me). So here's where else I am and what I use those platforms for!

Hi hello this is where you're currently at! (unless you're reading the cross post on tumblr) This is where I post all of my non-project work early, non cropped WIPs, high res files for download, and blog posts. Some of it is behind a paywall, most of it is not. When my health is better I would like to go back to doing a lot more on here, but for now I'm using it as humble place to allow monetary support of my work.
Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/mochibuni.bsky.social
Where I yap about things and post crops of my WIP. Bsky is the most accessible for me so I post a lot there when I'm feeling up to it.

I post most of my speed paints/timelapses here. I'm considering reuploading the videos here after they're posted, but you know, time, and Patreon kind of sucks for videos.
Digital Store: https://ko-fi.com/mochibuni/shop
INPRNT: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/mochibuni/
TeePublic: https://www.teepublic.com/user/mochibuni
Where you can buy my stuff, if you're so inclined! My digital shop is on Ko-Fi and hosts all of my coloring pages, emotes, wallpapers, and whatever else can be digitally downloaded for a small fee (if you're a paid member on Patreon you probably have access to all of these things already).
INPRNT hosts prints of some of my work, and some square cut stickers. TeePublic has my work slapped onto t-shirts for your apparel needs, as well as die cut stickers.
I hope to continue seeing you all on one of these places (or the other handful of sites I used periodically)! With the way things have been the last few years, I find the internet so fractured for communities and it's so easy to lose people when moving to a less dying platform. So here's to seeing you all here again next month!
