Idk who will read this rn as I made this account yesterday because I decided to quit Instagram and move my art here. But I swear that I love the fact that Tumblr doesn't have a stupid ass algorithm that doesn't let most people see your creations, or the fact that hashtags are actually useful here.
For those who don't know, Instagram made a new update were you can't see the recent posts in hashtags unless they're popular (top posts and recent top posts) . So now it's only the algorithm that decides which posts it will let you see. Horrible.
i am. so confused. my brain has been rotted by algorithms. the idea of curating a feed is terrifying. i feel like a caged animal released into the wild. someone please help.
I love making things. I love exploring. I love learning. I love art.
I wanted to try sharing my art on a different platform to see how it impacts my process. I don't sell anything, art is just my hobby. But I feel like instagram creates a frustrating cycle of focusing on social media more than actually making art.
I'm excited that tumblr is more image and blogging forward, rather than video first.
I experiment with all kinds of mediums including acrylic, watercolour, gouche, and printmaking. I will draw with anything and everything.
I'm hoping to find other experimental and curious artists who like sharing their progress!
Putting my coms back up! I have two styles— the usual sketchy art I post here on tumblr, and the rendered art I usually post on instagram.
Slots open for yall tumblr folks! Opening coms early on tumblr hehehoho.
SLOTS CLOSED! You can fill out the sketchy commissions form if interested, but I will not be choosing projects until after I finished my current batch.
SLOTS CLOSED! You can still fill out a rendered commission form, but I will not address the forms until I finish my current rep. (Think of it as a waitlist.)
Note: 20% off if you’re commissioning me to draw the nimbasa trio, legend of zelda, pokemon (the creatures), or hollow knight. I know what I want.

Random personal thing, it's literally so funny that in my first post I thought kirby was just a lil hiperfixation that will eventually fade over time- someone in the tags of my first post said that hiperfixations never truly go away- they're so right
Anyways- thank u all so much for sticking by!! I can't wait to come up with more art and ideas in the future :D
With this AI training horror news reaching tumblr too, I think it would be sane to prepare for the worst. Until we have certain news that Tumblr won't get sold out to AI companies I'm going to stop posting ficlets as full text here and will only embed the link to my locked AO3 profile (you have to have an AO3 account to view). I won't delete any personal work that I've already posted as it won't really make any difference, but I urge you all to KINDLY email Tumblr support with your concerns.
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND RIGHT CAN YALL PLEASE MAKE YOURSELVES LOOK LIKE A PERSON AND NOT A BOT. ADD A PROFILE PICTURE. IT CAN BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN A HUMAN BEING AT THIS POINT. ADD A LITTLE BLOG TITLE. EVEN IF IT’S JUST A KEYBOARD SMASH THAT IS SOMETHING. AND PLEASE REBLOG OR MAKE EVEN JUST A SINGLE POST.
i mean this all in the nicest possible way. just please do this so you don’t get blocked and reported by everyone you follow or like a post from.
Elon musk is actually acting senile after his purchase of twitter oh well it's been a great run guys but I'm just gonna go become a regular human being after the algorithm changes go into effect bc there is no reality where i pay $8 a month to stay relevant on twitter.
