Hopefully tumblr doesn’t throttle the quality--

Instead of doing my Secret Santa like any good boy would do, I spent the last couple of hours experimenting. Wanted something between anime chibi and cartoony -- I think I succeeded?

I kept saying I would either write a journal or make a youtube video about this question I keep getting and.....idk here we are months later and i’ve finally reached that point where it’s easier to answer people with a link rather than constantly keep re-explaining myself.  Honestly I don’t see why it matters why I have 2 accounts...like i don’t understand what is gotten out of me answering this question. .. But regardless I guess.  The very short version: It’s the same idea behind why there is a playgirl and a playboy magazine.  Some people just want a more ‘tailored’ viewing experience.  Those that want both can choose to follow both.  The long version: When I started out on FA I was posting everything on one account. (obviously. my Blaithe acct has only been mine for a little over a year now)  At some point though, I noticed a DRASTIC difference in the amount of response my female art would get versus male art.  This was confusing and frustrating for me. My male art got 50-70% less comments or favorites. It was to the point I didn’t even want to bother posting male art at all. I just didn’t understand.....male art was more wanted right? and I worked just as hard on it......If not harder....so what was the issue? Well for 1. My aversion to drawing males because they were harder for me to draw(also a factor. I just wasn’t as good at them at the time) than females caused my followers to be far more geared towards my female art. You get known for what you do the most of. Even on something ‘small’ like  masculine of feminine art.  Which leads into 2. I had a gallery full of female art. Because that was what I was getting commissioned for and what i liked taking. So there weren’t many examples of male work. which would, rightfully so, make someone who wants male commissions hesitant to commission me. people want to see clear easy to find examples of an artists ability to work with their idea/character.  (now keep in mind this was before ‘folders’ on the site.)

I drew these for @neon-mace a while ago and forgot to post them! oops!
