#vexstacy

Be chill. Don’t be hyper. 

Guys, boost the hell out of this.

All of this eventually led me to my ‘male’ account. And thankfully a good friend had a great acct name they no longer needed.  And it just personally works for me better. I’m not trying to convince anyone to do the same thing. (which is another reason why i don’t get this question. if you’re asking cause you think it works better then.....idk? It works for me. What works for me might not be for everybody else. /shrug).  I now have an account that is attracting an audience FOR the content meant for it. I’ve already seen much better response there on my male work. People can now very easily view either gallery for their taste preference.  When I post an ‘opening’ journal, they know right off the bat depending on which account it came from, whether it might possibly fit their character or not.  When I stream (cause i do have sepearate picarto channels too) they know right away if they want to view (cause yes in the past people would leave my streams on ‘vexstacy’ if i was working on male art). And i’d be lying if i said it wasn’t nice sometimes to just “get away” from my main account.  The REAL TL;DR? Because I can and it works for me. basically. 

I’ve never had an adoptable I really loved to draw and sort of ‘connected with’ until this one.  I got her as a gift from Otterfuu (twitter) who bought her when I retweeted from Chomperbee (twitter).  And I just find it funny how, though I lover her to bits, I don’t see her as ‘fully’ mine. Cause well, to me, she’s not. I’m not saying this in a bad way. Just keep reading.  ChomperBee designed sketched, lined, colored, and designed this bab. So she ‘birthed’ this baby.  I then adopted her and named her (Dina) and Dina took on some qualities of her new mom (I redrew her to fit my style).  But to me. I don’t think i’ll -ever- be able to ‘disconnect’ her from ChomperBee. ‘Bee is always gonna be ‘mom’ to Dina, in my eyes. I’m like that parent in a movie that involves the original parent in the adopted kids life. I’m always nosing Bee when I do something new with her. (I offered to stop bother her so much xD but she said it was okay!).  What I mean by that is. When people compliment Dina’s design i won’t just say ‘thanks’. I’m always going to be inclined to go ‘Bee designed her’.  And when I post art I’m always gonna be like ‘art of the bab Bee Designed’.  And when i stream art of Dina i have a little text overlay on the screen sawing ‘character designed by Bee’.  Cause I mean. It’s true and to me it just feels wrong to like...ignore?...dismiss?...that. Like...if i was to just say ‘thanks’ it feels like i’m taking credit for her work. Like sure I added my flair to her, I’ll totally accept compliment likes ‘this char looks so great in your style’. But color scheme, design composition, hair style. That’s all ‘Bee.  Like AS an artists it’s always slightly bothered me how eventually people just stop crediting me or other artists for creating the design of an adopt. But now even moreso I feel that way HAVING an adoptable that I really love. I WANT more people to know the original maker of a design I love so much. Why wouldn’t I? I want to make sure ‘Bee gets credit in every piece I draw or get.  Idk. Just feels right to me.  I’ve only really seen one or two other people do the same. The very lovely Peafox(FA) is one of them. They credit the creator on that profile. And I think that’s great and wish more people did things like that.  Anyway.  Just wanted to share my experience.  Especially since. I used to think adoptables were the worst fucking idea ever. I mean this was long before the who craze of ‘base packs’. I just genuinely didn’t understand why anyone would want a character they themselves didn’t create fully.  And now here I am. But that’s a story for another time. xD 

So if there is something we need to clear the air about then, again, here I am.
