#i have made 3 major photomanips

[withered-rose-unbreakable-lotus]

Part of me wants to be annoyed but at this point I find it kind of funny. Back when I was trying to get into art business with photomanipulation/photobashing, I had followed so many people and there was never a single opportunity I could grasp cause nb was looking for artists of my kind OR artists of my level (cause I'm average leveled still). Ever since I stopped trying to make new stuff, I always come across posts of studios or big projects either for artists of any kind, not just drawing artists, or that have a side opportunity for less professional artists that are perhaps still learning and wish to expand. Good one, life. I hope you enjoy laughing at me with each one.

Grab ‘em while you can

For those of you unlucky to have stumbled onto the Tumblr Connie fandom late, here are the tags with the most crazy/substantial/otherwise significantly panthery stuff for your perusal before Tumblr pulls the plug:

http://aikainkauna.tumblr.com/tagged/conrad-veidt-birthday-spam (despite its name, this became my catch-all tag for major gifsets and other substantial Connie posts that took a lot of work but were otherwise precious)

What it says on the tin: http://aikainkauna.tumblr.com/tagged/my-major-gifsets

Memes (includes some questionnaires, mixed bag, but you'll find some Veidt crack) http://aikainkauna.tumblr.com/tagged/meme/chrono

Tumblr's best Connie tags (my all-time favourite is still the lovely @countess-olenska's Torsten tag, "huntin' fo' tha pussy" ):

My Tumblr text posts+screencaps meme tag: http://aikainkauna.tumblr.com/tagged/tumblr-text-posts/chrono

Proof of why I should not be allowed Photoshop: http://aikainkauna.tumblr.com/tagged/crackshops/chrono

The actual "proper" Photoshops, some of them are even not shit (even if many suffered from the "fuck, I've stared at this for too long, I can't judge if that looks right anymore; might as well post it" syndrome):

My doodles (not meant to be great art but just quick, lulzy stress relief with as little angsting over quality as possible. Because I'm a horrible perfectionist and these are a deliberate exercise to escape that anal, nitpicky stress thing and to just create stuff about the characters I love):

http://aikainkauna.tumblr.com/tagged/hail-satan-i-mean-torsten-barring (Torsten's haunting my graphics and blogs and whole life, it seems, dropping little 666s everywhere... no, I am *not* joking and Jaffar *never* does this)

I know that when people start rifling through someone's tag, they often start at the oldest posts, but please, do check what the filesize of a given gif is. If it's just 1 or 2 mb, I probably already have a 3 mb upgrade of it somewhere. The old 'i made this!' tag is full of old shit and I haven't used it for FOUR YEARS. So if you go by that one (please don't), you'll just find old crap gifs and not the ones I've put work into upgrading. You do want the best versions of all those gifs, don't you? Thought as much. Also, please don't likespam--reblogs are much better and a hundred billion likes (=the posts not actually going anywhere) are just a nuisance and will only make me think negatively of you. Likes do bugger-all; reblogs get things going and spread the love. Most importantly, they help get more exposure to that amazing dead German panther we both love and want more people to know about. I don't give a flying fuck about people knowing *me* personally, or follower/note counts for *my* sake; it's Connie I want the world to discover and appreciate. So if you really love him that much, do something that actually counts and reblog him.

And, hey, last but not least:

And I'll stop here, because it's just getting too depressing what with all the fun stuff Tumblr's going to hide forever on the 17th/18th.
