Yesterday I came across someone’s experience of paying for art commissons of their fat characters and, upon receiving them, finding out that the artist had drawn them as thin.
I thought it would be a good idea to list some of the artists on tumblr that I follow/reblog from who include fat designs in their art always, not only when it is commissioned to them (which I found out is a good indicator of the respect they actually have). Some of them do commissions, others sell their own products.
I thought that this would not only help those who want to commission or buy art but also those who simply want to follow artists who post fat designs without having to search the tags and encounter an immense amount of fatphobia and highly hateful content (if you regularly search the tags, you know what I’m talking about).
If you are an artist who includes fat characters in your art, especially if you do commissions, please reblog this post and add yourself to the list. If you don’t use tumblr frequently you can also add another handle or link for people to be able to find you and contact you about your work! As a side note for whoever needs the heads up, not all of the platforms are completely sfw.
