✨Unhinged Artist🌙

I've gotten asked several times over the years about how to make drawings look more three-dimensional instead of flat, and it really is just to think of everything as simple shapes! Everything is shapes, with varying levels of layering and overlapping each other.

Yo, I love your art! I hope you don't mind, but I recreated one of your art pieces in wplace.live :D it was a toughie, but damn, your pics are beautiful even in the limited colour palette. Keep being awesome!

‼️the tl;dr:

In order to effectively support artists, writers, resource creators, etc. please DO NOT leave photos/comments/content in reblog posts as of March 16, 2025 until further notice.

If you would like to reblog a work from a creator with a comment please do so in the tags only. Tags in reblogs are still OK!

the longer explanation:

Tumblr has changed reblogs to mirror that of twitter/x. Reblogs with commentary in the post (words/pics/etc) now work as "quoted posts" with an independent set of notes displayed for likes/reblogs/comments on the quoted post. This is effective immediately and is NOT retroactive.

While this is objectively good for opinion or discourse posts where the user rebloging is adding independent thought or opinion—it is bad for creators as it is not a true reflection of the reach of our posts. New and smaller creators suffer the most. If someone with a bigger reach reblogs a small/new creator and leaves content/comments in the post of the reblog, further interactions with that reblog will be attributed to the reblog and not the original work. Meaning the artist is missing out on lots of feedback, praise, likes and motivational words that encourage them to continue or interact with the community.

This is bigger than caring about the amount of notes a post gets, even if it only gets 10 interactions, that creator should be able to see it and be attributed that.

how should I interact moving forward?

To be safe, please ONLY interact with the main post and ONLY put comments in TAGS if reblogging.

Here is a photo example of what is okay/not okay:

is there anything we can do in the meantime?

but like…Becky, of course LGBTQ+ people existed before Stonewall. We’ve all existed since the beginning of time. But the movement got a shock to its senses, a jump-start, a rocket-into-space when that glass shattered via Marsha P. Johnson, and when Sylvia Rivera was up on-stage protesting guess who was on the sidelines heckling her?

Without a trans black woman, LGBT+ rights would not exist. Never forget. Never “pay it no mind”.
