#itaku.ee

So my friend theskee recommended this site, itaku.ee, for image hosting when I was looking to get out of artstation. I set up an account and started uploading art back in February or something. Went back through 2015 to basically the oldest stuff I felt proud of, just went ham on it. As of today I have 382 images on there.

It's a super streamlined system. You can make sub-galleries for all your art and organize to your heart's content. Tagging is a dream. The best part of the tags is you can edit them and add information, so there are tags designated for characters, for races, for copyright (i.e. the TV show or game they came from). There's even a way to make a tag for you as an artist, so everything I post is tagged #edibleflowers. You can upload one image or multiple images at a time. You can also favorite and comment on images. And you can link the images offsite if you want them on AO3 or wherever.

Here's the best part. The site is designed to be NSFW-friendly, so you can add a label (in fact, you have to) if the art is questionable or mature. So you never have to see NSFW art if you don't want to. You can flip that switch off, or you can set it to only show questionable content, or let your little heart run free and see everything. Because we're adults and we deserve spaces to be adults.

It's a free site, and I believe even the ads were recently removed because they weren't getting much use. Really, the only downside is that it doesn't get much traffic, but it makes for a great portfolio site to have everything in one place.

edited to add: this is probably far past containment, but I want to note that this post is in direct response to the change in Discord's image hosting policy and just before I made this, I rb'd something about that. Then I was going on about itaku in the tags and realized I should just make this post, which is why it starts off the way it does.

i finally transferred (almost) all of my art from twitter and deviantart to this new site named "itaku.ee", and im gonna be using it as my default art social media from now on. its got awesome filters and a great tagging system, and i highly suggest artists that wanna move from twitter and tumblr to go there, both sfw and nsfw!!! they're still fairly new and dont allow anyone under 16 to register an account, thank fuck tbh.

im still gonna be hella active on here as well, but this will be more for textposts, updates, and reblogging shit i like rather than posting my own art. i also deactivated my twitter and my deviantart because i want a clean slate tbh, so if you see anyone using my handle (RowenDoesThings) thats not me!
