hello……long time no see.

(i’m pretty sure this is the first switch lite gijinka)

This Is The End, My Friends

I really enjoyed my time on Tumblr and with all of you.  I met some really fantastic fans and artists.  However, on the 17th Tumblr is enacting a new policy I strongly disagree with, and I’ve decided to leave the platform.  This will be my last post, I plan to log out and not return.  I won’t be answering any of the messaging systems here.  If you’d like to continue following me online, here is where you can find me:

TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Mindwipe01

This will be my main base of operations due to how similarly it functions as a social media platform.  It’s where I will post my sketches and complete pieces, talk about things I’m watching/reading, and interact with other people I know.

These are the two places where I will maintain a gallery presence of pictures I particularly like.  Their updating will probably be more sporadic:

PIXIV: https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=10225280

I like this platform because it allows for posting /spicy/ nsfw, but also for multiple-picture sets which is frequently useful for sequential posts.  The only downside is having to search relevant tags, and some mild censorship of genitalia.

NEWGROUNDS: https://planetofjunk.newgrounds.com

I’m not gonna lie, I kind of really hate the interface for Newgrounds currently.  Supposedly it’s going to change!  The content categorizing is also a bit vague (What exactly makes something “a little” adult vs. “very” adult? Where is that line drawn?), but I will do my best with it!

FURAFFINITY: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/mindwipe/

If I do particularly furry art such as Delta Rune, MLP, Sonic, cat girls, whatever, it’ll go here and not the other two.

Finally, here’s a link to a file-sharing website that has all of the artwork, both sfw and nsfw, I worked on and posted to Tumblr.  I put it together for Patreon donators, it goes from 2010 to 2018:

And that’s it!  Thank you all for your kindness, support, and friendship.  See you out there, and keep circulating the tapes.

So my Patreon ended awhile back!  But I posted every single one of the images that won the submission polls to my two tumblrs, so I don’t see a reason to break that trend.  Here’s the 1st place winning submission for October: “(Wildcard) Look if this is gonna be the last poll, why not let one of the drawings be a surprise? Go wild bro.“

I was really flattered to get a chance to do anything *I* wanted!  Seriously, that means a lot to me.  It was actually pretty difficult to decide what to do for a proper send-off for the Patreon.  I thought about a Bowsette/Booette piece, as that was running pretty hot at the time, or something involving Halloween.  Eventually I felt like making a console-tan picture with the three main console-tans (Xbone, PS4, and now Switch) enjoying an end-of-summer style picture to send everyone off.  I also wanted to experiment a bit with a lighter style of coloring and inking, something more like what @brellom and @impactfuma manage.  It was super interesting and tricky to pull off, as you can’t do “precision” work with a water-color brush, but hopefully it came out okay.  If you like the results or know how I can improve just let me know!

Finally I also took this instance to experiment a bit with Switch-tan.  I try to read all of the feedback you guys send me, and I know that her and PS4-tan have perhaps too-similar hair-styles.  Back when the Switch debuted, it was a black and grey console, just like the PS4.  Nowadays, it has a very striking two-color aesthetic as one of its core elements of design.  Previously I used to represent it in the jacket, but it got me thinking of going for an Asuka from WWE look with two-color hair.  So far feedback to it has been pretty resistant to the change, so maybe we can just say Switch dyed her hair for this particular piece.
