This Is The End, My Friends

I really enjoyed my time on Tumblr and with all of you.  I met some really fantastic fans and artists.  However, on the 17th Tumblr is enacting a new policy I strongly disagree with, and I’ve decided to leave the platform.  This will be my last post, I plan to log out and not return.  I won’t be answering any of the messaging systems here.  If you’d like to continue following me online, here is where you can find me:

TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Mindwipe01

This will be my main base of operations due to how similarly it functions as a social media platform.  It’s where I will post my sketches and complete pieces, talk about things I’m watching/reading, and interact with other people I know.

These are the two places where I will maintain a gallery presence of pictures I particularly like.  Their updating will probably be more sporadic:

PIXIV: https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=10225280

I like this platform because it allows for posting /spicy/ nsfw, but also for multiple-picture sets which is frequently useful for sequential posts.  The only downside is having to search relevant tags, and some mild censorship of genitalia.

NEWGROUNDS: https://planetofjunk.newgrounds.com

I’m not gonna lie, I kind of really hate the interface for Newgrounds currently.  Supposedly it’s going to change!  The content categorizing is also a bit vague (What exactly makes something “a little” adult vs. “very” adult? Where is that line drawn?), but I will do my best with it!

FURAFFINITY: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/mindwipe/

If I do particularly furry art such as Delta Rune, MLP, Sonic, cat girls, whatever, it’ll go here and not the other two.

Finally, here’s a link to a file-sharing website that has all of the artwork, both sfw and nsfw, I worked on and posted to Tumblr.  I put it together for Patreon donators, it goes from 2010 to 2018:

And that’s it!  Thank you all for your kindness, support, and friendship.  See you out there, and keep circulating the tapes.

Unfortunately the best of tumblr tool seems to not be working, but here’s the top 10 most popular posts I made for 2018.

Console-tans

The “pc” stands for “petty crook.”

[planetofjunk]

Potluckhb did a bunch of fun and cute console-tan and Kirby comics, check ‘em out!

[planetofjunk]

A pure, Christian console.

So my Patreon ended awhile back!  But I posted every single one of the images that won the submission polls to my two tumblrs, so I don’t see a reason to break that trend.  Here’s the 1st place winning submission for October: “(Wildcard) Look if this is gonna be the last poll, why not let one of the drawings be a surprise? Go wild bro."

I was really flattered to get a chance to do anything *I* wanted!  Seriously, that means a lot to me.  It was actually pretty difficult to decide what to do for a proper send-off for the Patreon.  I thought about a Bowsette/Booette piece, as that was running pretty hot at the time, or something involving Halloween.  Eventually I felt like making a console-tan picture with the three main console-tans (Xbone, PS4, and now Switch) enjoying an end-of-summer style picture to send everyone off.  I also wanted to experiment a bit with a lighter style of coloring and inking, something more like what @brellom and @impactfuma manage.  It was super interesting and tricky to pull off, as you can’t do “precision” work with a water-color brush, but hopefully it came out okay.  If you like the results or know how I can improve just let me know!

Finally I also took this instance to experiment a bit with Switch-tan.  I try to read all of the feedback you guys send me, and I know that her and PS4-tan have perhaps too-similar hair-styles.  Back when the Switch debuted, it was a black and grey console, just like the PS4.  Nowadays, it has a very striking two-color aesthetic as one of its core elements of design.  Previously I used to represent it in the jacket, but it got me thinking of going for an Asuka from WWE look with two-color hair.  So far feedback to it has been pretty resistant to the change, so maybe we can just say Switch dyed her hair for this particular piece.

Anyways, that’s all I had to say.  A lot of love and effort went into this piece, and I hope all of my patreons know how much I appreciated them and their support.  They got me through an extremely financially tough time in my life, and for that I’ll always be grateful.

So with the tumblr nuke inbound, you thinkin about making a newgrounds account now?

Euuughhh... So really, what is the difference between gallery websites like Newgrounds, Pixiv, DeviantArt, or Hentai Foundry?  Rei made a great post about what made Tumblr different from just a regular gallery site.  Twitter is... horrendous, I know (awful for image quality, no searchable gallery, discussion is severely limited) but it does let me at least respond to a person’s text post with a dumb doodle, retweet and promote art I find really cool, and interact with other artists in a way that makes posting there a bit more “alive” rather than “static.”  What pictures make the cut-off into being “gallery-worthy” is definitely a difficult line to draw, as well.

Some people I like to follow like Theycallhimcake and Gats made a newgrounds, DatBaggedMilk and Graphite Knight have a Pixiv, and people like brellom or psudonym will probably go back to leaning more on their deviantart accounts.  Other options people talk about are Pillowfort (currently in paid Beta) and Mastadon.  The only thing everyone seems to have is a twitter.  Should I have a more serious gallery-driven page, so that my work is easier for new people to browse and maintains image quality better?  Probably?  Where I actually make such an account is the open question.

Here’s a commission I did for @Millalady, of their character Freya Aeternum!

[planetofjunk]

I just wanted to draw the front of that dumb t-shirt idea, as I couldn't show it off in the earlier sketches.

[planetofjunk]

Just a doodle of Palutena protecting Pit from dangerous elements.

[planetofjunk]

Gosh, @graphiteknight just twisted my arm for an edit.

Do you have Newgrounds?

I’m afraid not!  I do not currently plan to get a Newgrounds account for the foreseeable future, as generally I prefer Tumblr’s convenience and tools that allow me to easily promote work I find interesting/good with the reblog function, generate tags for easy organization of my page, and its ability to interact with others via Asks, Replies, Reblogs, Submissions, etc.  However, this could change if this platform’s management continues to degrade and a critical mass of artists decide to leave.  I would make announcements regarding any move to another platform either here or via twitter.

[psussy]

@brellom’s Elayne

[planetofjunk]

Doodled a Susie, threw some colors on it at the request of @brellom.

She has a nice smile.

[planetofjunk]

Just a sketch of Sharla, from Xenoblade Chronicles.

Fight it Out!

I don’t usually play with memes but seeing the trailer made me pine for one of my favorite anime OP songs. I took time off from drawing to smash this together.

[planetofjunk]

This is my favorite one.
