#rambles #bleas. bleas I'm so close to being done. lemme finish this up first and THEN i can switch into Art Mode #but my brain is like nope #art time now :)

Seeing everyone else do their cool Portal 2 anniversary fancy art and being like "dam I shoulda done something like that" but then remembering how I get anxious posting in the main fandom

#rambles #ok the way I see it is. the main Portal fandom has enough artists. they don't need me #I will hide in my little fan game niche where we are starving for content so at least my art has SOME importance.#even if only like 4 people will appreciate it. bc if I don't make it then who will #Anyway uh. sorry if you followed me for main Portal stuff but there are like infinite other Portal artists to follow #we fan game in this mothafucka #currently cooking up some more stuff for The Underground :3c even though that is my most NICHE niche #bc there are like. LITERALLY only 3 other ppl making art for it

Yknow when you can't draw for whatever reason and you can physically feel your soul being damaged

#rambles #For some reason the ONLY time I actually have motivation to draw is when I'm up to my eyeballs in schoolwork #sitting there trying to write an essay while all I can think about is how much I want to draw and it's literally like.#-1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp #every second I'm not drawing I'm only getting worse !!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!#In 20 years I won't remember my grades but I will remember all my wasted artistic potential!!!!!!#blugh. and then it's like “well at least the semester is almost over and then I can draw all I want :3”#only for all my motivation to immediately evaporate #I love being an artist I love being an artist I love :) :) :) *eye twitch*

Isn't it funny how when I was 15 years old I got literal last place in an art contest. And was told to delete my account because my art was so bad. And then I find 15 year olds who are literally better at art than I am right now. Isn't that so cool. Isn't that funny

#rambles #'nooooo don't compare yourself to others' it's kind of impossible not to when shit like this happens on a daily basis !!!!!!!

I'm just gonna come right out and say it I do NOT care for the stigma against nsfw content on the internet.

#rambles #might elaborate on this more later but I've been thinking abt this a lot recently #especially with the whole gumroad thing #porn isn’t bad. it isn’t evil. it's okay to be horny it's OKAY

Being an artist is so funny because sometimes I'll see other people making cool shit and I'll be like "oh I should make cool shit too" but other times I'll see people making cool shit and be like "oh I should kill myself"

#rambles #suicide mention #???? it's silly it's jokes #how many posts like this have I made at this point #that's like 'being an artist is funny because [symptoms of mental illness]'#anywayyyyyyyy ✌️😁

Hello! Since my art and designs seem to be getting more attention recently(??????) and stuff like this has come up a few times, I thought I'd lay down some ground rules about my art and characters.

Art Rules:

Generally if you want to use my art anywhere PLEASE ASK ME FIRST!!! I'll most likely say yes I just want to know about it. If you're reposting it on a different platform or sharing it on Discord or whatever I'd also appreciate if you could tell me what other people are saying about it or send me a link to the post. Also free to use as pfps or whatever as long as you ask first. and unless I say otherwise (there are some things I don't want my name attached to yknow) ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO CREDIT ME!!! ("genericdragon on Tumblr" will suffice). If it's art that I made specifically for you you're free to use it anywhere without asking just remember to credit me.

Please don't edit my art in any way, shape, or form, aside from maybe cutting out the background or whatever. (including drawing on top of it, changing colors, etc)

You're allowed to trace/heavily reference my art for practice (don't know why you'd want to tho) but DO NOT POST IT ANYWHERE OR USE IT FOR ANYTHING ELSE PLEASE.

Unless we're very close friends/mutuals do not expect free art from me. You can commission me on artistree or follow me on artfight (<- you are VERY likely to get free art this way.) I might do requests but only if it's something that I'd want to draw even if no one requested it. (no fetish baiting. I know it when I see it.)

Character rules:

If you want to use my exact humanization as your headcanon for that character or use them in your AU then be my guest! Again, just make sure to credit me for the design, and please tag me in anything you do with them :)

That being said, there are a few story related things that I'm not comfortable sharing with other AUs, but it's usually stuff that I don't post on Tumblr so you probably don't know abt it anyway. Just ask me if you're unsure. However I will also ask that you don't create an entirely new backstory for them if you're putting them in your own AU.

I can't stop you from taking inspiration from my designs but please don't just change a few things from my design and call it your own. They're not technically my original characters but I am still very attached to my humanizations and I'm not comfortable with them being modified like that. I'm glad that ppl like my designs but I don't want them to run too far away from me until they're not mine anymore yknow?

You are always always ALWAYS welcome to draw my character designs, especially when interacting with your own or other people's :) Tag me in any art you make of them!! I want to see it!!!

I made another post about it but self-shipping is allowed (as long as it's not a teenager who's way younger than you) just make sure to abide by the rest of these rules.

Also drawing nsfw of my 18+ characters is fine. (Unless I explicitly say they're a teenager or they are known to be a teenager in canon you can assume they're an adult) You can show me or not idc. Just don't send it to me without warning I don't wanna be jumpscared

Other Stuff:

I do not control the hyperfixation. If you followed me for one specific fandom/character that I don't post about often I can't guarantee that you'll see any more of it. Portal is the one thing you can ALWAYS expect me to come back to but the other stuff just comes and goes. Not saying that I'll NEVER come back to it again just don't hold your breath. Feel free to unfollow or block any tags you're not interested in, I don't take any offense to it.

Please do not reblog any art older than like... 3 or 4 years. I'll leave it up for now but if you reblog it I WILL delete it, sorry.

Continuing from that point, this is my blog and I will delete things as I see fit. Please do not download and repost my art if I delete it. If it's gone then I don't want it to be public anymore, please respect my wishes.

I won't throw a hissy fit if you like art but don't reblog it, I totally get that some things just aren't for everyone, but reblogging really does help a lot and I appreciate it :)

Please don't feel intimidated by me! Apparently some people think of me as a Big Scary Popular Artist and I have no idea where that impression came from but I'm not. I'm just a weirdo girl making my silly little drawings. Also PLEASE don't say anything to the effect of "your art is so good it makes me feel bad" or using my art to put yourself down. I have Kind Of Complicated feelings about my art so when people do this it really messes me up. Just don't, it makes both of us feel so much worse.

Asks are always welcome, although I do try to draw art in response to asks but sometimes I just don't get around to it, or it's for a fandom I'm not currently interested in. (Sorry to that one person who sent me an INSIDE related ask that's just been sitting in my inbox for several months)

I do have an nsfw blog, you can dm me for the url, although I may choose to withhold it from you for any reason. (I'm shy 👉👈)

Other than that just uhhhhh be reasonable treat me like a person respect my boundaries etc. I'll update this if needed but this is the most important stuff for now I think
