📌 obligatory pinned post

Hello! My name is Astertrail Vidapon, although I go by multiple names (Aster, Saturn, Volt and Ruin primarily!)

I'm an aspiring character designer and hobbyist digital artist. This is my art blog where I post my own art whenever I'm able, and I'll also occasionally reblog other posts about art, as well as reblog other pieces I like.

I cycle between interests quite often, so I can't really stick to a brand for too long. To avoid disappointment, I kindly ask for people to refrain from following me if you're only following for one specific media.

Current fixation: Mob Psycho 100 (mostly just serirei lol)

Other main interests: Patapon, MAD RAT DEAD, Taiko no Tatsujin, OCs

I mostly use MediBang Paint for Desktop, but I also use Clip Studio Paint EX for more bigger illustrations.

❌ Do not repost or reupload my works outside of Tumblr.

🚫 Do NOT feed my art to AI or use my art for any sort of AI training.

✅ You can use my fanart as an icon or header, just make sure to give credit!!

✨ Reblogs and comments are greatly appreciated!!

Full Series Of Girl Mob Scribble Comics That People Kept Redrawing The Last Part Of

ive been seeing a lot of redraws of the "Shishou is pregnant" one on tumblr so i thought id just show you guys that there was actually more of it

[swoo0zy]

they never include tome in any of the merch so i took the matters into my own hands

[faerynova]

@changes hi! this update immediately ruins the website for me and pretty much every single other creator. there's so few places i can find engagement on the internet, and reading tags and people talking on my art and comics posts is literally the highlight of my day! you've effectively stolen feedback and interaction from artists/writers and prevented them from being able to interact with a wider audience, which is how ive even made friends in the past.

i can no longer see the reach my post has. my number stagnates and it looks like my engagement has gone down, and i can no longer see lovely comments by checking my original post because theyre locked to some other reblog chain

on the flipside, when i want to reblog art, i NEVER want to take away the attention from the original creator of a post. thats not my content, my addition to the post doesnt warrant me stealing attention and notes from the original poster

and for a third point: locking replies to specific changes stifles interaction and destroys communication. what even was the logic here. i have no idea what people are saying on my posts in other threads. people could be spreading misinformation on one of my posts and i would never be able to reach out and correct people

this update is antisocial, has no logic behind its premise, and the execution is even worse. give me my fucking notes and tags and *communication* back

[youre-only-gay-once]

yeah so even if you reblog with tags it keeps the op from seeing it. like I can't see tags on gifsets I could see this morning. nice one tumblr.

[youre-only-gay-once]

basically means if you want op to see your tags you have to reblog from them directly. nice one tumblr.

[wickedsnack]

so as long as tumblr keeps this, here's the tumblr version of etiquette that was maintained when twitter's quote-retweets affected artist visibility/notes:

for art that someone has added reblog commentary to (or removed the caption from), reblog from the source

otherwise, avoid adding reblog comments to art (as this will affect the artist's notes/visibility)—utilize tags and replies to provide commentary (which artists will absolutely appreciate)

reblog comments are comments added to the body of a post, not the tags and not replies.

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website

do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!

what is neocities?

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."

why should I make my own website?

web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

what would I even put on a website?

the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !! here are some cool example sites to inspire you: recently updated neocities sites | it can be fun to just look through these and browse people's content! space bar | local interstellar dive bar creature feature | halloween & monsters big gulp supreme peanutbuttaz | personal site dragodiluna linwood | personal site patho grove | personal site
