Okay, I need to make a 🧵 on this as an artist that's participated in multiple beta launched websites attempting to create a space similar to sites like old school Deviantart. I want to share my experiences on what ends up killing these sites and it's not because users don't want to interact.

It's #AppreciateADragonDay, is it? Well then, have some dragons. :>

Ooooh look it's #AppreciateADragonDay! I sure have some

The holidays have been *great*. Had to pay $750 to evict a raccoon from my attic, and now my bathroom sink is leaking. 🙃 We're off to a great start this year.

It's #artsummary time! 2025 edition! :> I didn't do quite as many big pieces last year as I'd hope. Mostly because of health problems making things difficult. But I hope to do a lot more this year. #art #fantasy #furryart #dragon #alien #humanoid #ocsky

friend: I like your ocs, can you tell me more about them? me:

Since Christmas is now so close I want to share this Starter Pack to support artists and their beautiful art! 🎄☃️ It's always helpful to reach more people! Reposts are appreciated 🫶🏻 #art #artistsupport #starterpack #artshare go.bsky.app/Nanm5f8

This. If someone is gonna come to your metaphorical doorstep and bring negativity, or do something that makes you uncomfortable, you have every right to shut and lock your door. Even in public spaces, you can walk away from people and never engage with them again. The same thing applies here.

As an artist with aphantasia, YES. I cannot stress enough how helpful this is! A couple of clients have done this for me, and it really does help to further give me and my cohort @noctemtenebris.bsky.social an idea of what you're looking for. Stick figure concepts are awesome for me. :>

Welp. I *was* considering buying it. Now I'm definitely not. So disappointing, but I'm glad the indie game awards disqualified them. It's even worse that they *lied* about not using it.

It's my birthday 🤍! I'd love to share my favorite Eden portraits to celebrate :> Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Artist! Quote with your most detailed art! 🎨 Oh definitely this one. It was the largest piece I've ever rendered. While this is a collaboration between me and @noctemtenebris.bsky.social, I did all the rendering on the dragon, and I'm still very proud of it. It took a while to complete. XD

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

Final day for this 🖤

You fool. You FOOL. You've activated my face down trap card. Upon mentioning something related to my characters and world, my card "ancient archives of the banished lore keeper" activates, and I get to say "so, funny thing is..." and regale you with tangents of character and world building facts.

ARTISTS! You can DISABLE this feature! Protect yourself and don't assume that you're safe if you're an sfw artist!

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art. Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.
