I’ve gotten a bunch of worried messages from you guys since Tumblr went public with their new dramatic paradigm shift… and while I wanted to wait a bit and see how it developed in the face of “the exodus”, it’s a bit unfair of me to not say something.
I have quite strong feelings about the whole thing and it’s pretty fair to say that I’m upset about it. So harmful to so many cool creative people… I could go on an endless ramble about it, but let’s wait and see what really happens. (Also, gives a pretty scary taste of what is to come when Article 13 steps into place.)
I don’t consider myself a nsfw artist, but I might fall into a dangerous grey-zone in-between. I draw the occasional nip here and there and don’t shy away from nudity. So I’m… Definitely worried about myself and my stay here. I don’t want to delete anything either as I firmly believe I’m not “inciting debauchery.” That stubbornness might get me into trouble in the end, but we’ll see by then. Stand up for what you believe in and such.
As for options in case of a worst case scenario… I can’t name one. Tumblr offers a lot of things I utilize. Multi-image posts with more text space than anyone would ever need/read. An active community and ease of access to posts and gallery. Pretty lax guidelines of what’s permitted. It’s a nice place for what I do and I don’t want to leave and I have no intention to. Unless I’m kicked out or go down with the ship. So let’s try not to panic for now…
Many of the worried messages asked about where else to find me in case I’m not here on the dawn of the 17th.
Twitter - Probably where I’m most active and post all my art, but is technically unsuitable for my type of creative content. (no 12000 letter lore dumps as I’d usually link back to here.)
Pixiv - I usually feel pretty selective about what I post there, so might not get you everything I make.
Patreon - It’s my Patreon.
Newgrounds - I’m testing this out and we’ll see where it goes. It doesn’t offer all the features I need for now, so posts will be very selective and contain pretty old art as new posts as I try to fill it up in wait of new gallery features. (I’m taking it slow so will take a while. Don’t want to spam)
