I hate landslides man they got official terms like “toe” and “foot” thinking it’s just terminology to call certain parts that then you see an actual landslide and it straight up looks like this

I like to animate glitter onto pics just like those old internet graphics. Left is my oc Tober with @grapplemace’s Rudy. Right is an art trade with @penpalspencil ft. his OC Luci and @we1come2parad1se’s Tim!

Looking for a low-tech car without fancy touchscreens in 2020s probably feels like looking for a car without seatbelts in the 1980s

I know it's like a funny haha joke that I confuse people with when my actual bday is by just saying random days are my bdays but genuinely it's a security thing too like....y'all don't need to know incriminating details about me like my actual date of birth online and if you know, you know. Today is my birthday.

Does anyone else have a complicated relationship with posting/sharing art publicly online? I've been finding it very difficult to have any motivation to share art/crosspost anymore. It doesn't sit well with me.

With the way that social media sites are built, it feels more like posting my art is meant for others to "consume" it and that I am expected to always share anything I make for the entertainment of others rather than start a conversation or connect with community, because everything on social medias is so fast paced and my posts are often visually competing on the feed (if not working against an algorithm) to be seen by a person. And it's like, it's not that I don't appreciate all the likes and shares on my art, I really do and I like sharing stuff I do that I'm proud of but unfortunately it just feels so superficial after a certain point especially on Twitter/Bsky/Instagram, when anything I post racks up thousands of notes yet no one says anything about it. It's shared around the internet space but I get no gratification (And honestly I'm so glad people on Tumblr are more inclined to comment on art but I wish I could respond to tags to tell them how much I appreciate their response and have a conversation!!)

On Sheezy, I just post whenever I want and it's for organization and gallery purposes, also bc I really want to have my art posted there and honestly no where else, just like back then on dA when that was my only site to post art. And since nothing can be shared the way art is shared/RT'd/etc on social media, I did it because it was fun and more of a community thing than really wanting popularity or anything. I post art to start a conversation, to share my knowledge, and to express myself. I honestly even set a small goal for myself to comment on 3-5 pieces on Sheezy whenever I log in, and say something nice about someone's art because I know they'd appreciate something small like that on an incredibly fast-paced internet.

I get more gratification from posting my art in RP discord servers where likes/shares are not a thing, and everyone is more encouraged to comment and talk about the piece.

The art side of the public internet just makes me very sad nowadays, and it just isn't fun to post publicly most of the time anymore. I have no reason to do so either because my main job isn't art lol

I used to wish my OCs were well known so I can be like those big artists that always get OC fanart but I've struggled a lot with sharing stuff about them for no reason other than it feeling like a chore (so grateful Art Fight exists though)

Then I got a job with disposable income and now I'm feeling the joy of commissioning artists full illustrated pieces like I'm a Renaissance aristocrat
