I mentioned yesterday that I would take a break this weekend then work on crossposting to my new art accounts... yeah I ended up working on that for most of today anyways, whoops. :u
I will still be posting on this account for the time being (i.e. until Tumblr staff permanently fuck everything up for good). However, I will be drastically reducing my time wasted on Tumblr otherwise. Meanwhile, here are the other places where I plan to be more active in terms of art moving forward:
Newgrounds
SheezyArt
Itaku.ee
Pillowfort (it's a "community" for my art, but it functionally acts the same as a side blog like my art Tumblr here)
I managed to get everything I wanted posted on Itaku and Pillowfort, and I set up a queue for Newgrounds. SheezyArt has a daily post limit, so I'll just work within that limit to get some more old stuff posted. After that, all new stuff will be posted on these sites first, and then my art Tumblr will likely be dead last from now on.
If you're already on one of these sites, I'd definitely appreciate it if you follow me there as well! If you've been considering one of these sites to move to, or other art sites I haven't mentioned, I highly encourage you to do so. Even if you don't end up following me again, still go for it, leave this hellhole, or at least make sure you have backups.
When it comes to art, whether you're a professional making money or a hobbyist just posting for themselves, you should never rely on just one or two sites to share your art with the world. Especially not without any backups, be they web page archives or even just keeping your files and notes safe on an external hard drive. You never know when all your work could be gone in an instant, whether it be from bad coding, or terrible mod decisions, or who knows what else.
