Pondering a new accont for next year...
18 years ago
Tip Jar! (do not pay for commissions this way, please!)
Now now, don't fret folks, I'm sticking to the name Kompy as a fursona! I am, however, pondering making a separate account for one of the two most touched-upon topics in my gallery so far, that being either the Satarnis (Cuedows and Weaders) stuff or the Poke,om/Pokemorph stuff. The question here, however, is which one?
Giving the Pokemorphs a separate account would help me better organize the PCA and non-PCA stuff (up to including reorganize a few that are out of order, like some profiles and comics) and would help folks who just want to see THAT art from me have a place to look at all I have there in one fall swoop. Non-anthro Pokemon art would also go there.
On the other hand, the Satarnis stuff would allow me to better gather up all that relates to just that and allow folks to better get acquainted with the worldsetting in the form of the profile and/or journal, which would just include info on them. The "FA Satarnis" pics would also be moved there. I could even make it a sort of "club" and would use that to link to Satarnis-themed fanart, once some proper ref sheets are made.
I won't be doing a thing until around February. Still I'm fairly sure this is something that would help make looking around my gallery much less of a hassle. So you tell me, folks, which one should I go with? (and please, PLEASE don't say "both" because that'd be way too much of a load both for me and FA proper. No one needs THAT much Kompy art, believe me! :P )

Cos Pokemorphs are all over the shop. Satarnis is something you've created yourself, so having a seperate way for people to get to know their world better is the way to go.
Let's face it, as cool as your pokemorph stuff is, it's not nearly as cool as your own creation :)
But...that's kind of infuriating, man. Why what? Why a second account? I thought I explained it well enough-- to keep my pics organized a bit better, particularly the Satarnis stuff since it's a huge worldsetting I'm still developing and just repeating myself in every submission related to it just isn't enough to get that across. Follow me?
Truth be told, you've just hit the nail on the head in terms of why I had a hard time deciding which to go with in the first place -- as vast a setting as Satarnis is, the key difference between that and the Poke-art is the fact that it's *MINE*. I like having the name Kompy be associated more with "that gal who draws those weird made-up cuedow things' than 'that gal who draws neat Pokeymanz". The "organization" is just a more valid, less personal reason to consider, plus one where folks could give their legit 2 cents about it rather than go "trust your instincts" or anything like that.
Still, though...yeah, I'm glad I'm not deciding on making the decision right away because this is going to take some more thought to put into than expected o_o;
Sorry for infuriating you even for a little while. I wasn't confused at all about your postulation, only at the responses I couldn't figure out (and didn't know if it was some inner-Poke-fandom thing) <=)
You could keep this one for PCA, contest, and your yerf-era stuff and use the other one for your Satarnis stuff.
Really, I'd say make the separate account for the PCA stuff, and keep the original name for your original creations. That... Sounds like it'd make the most sense. I don't know about these kind of things too well, but both areas seem to draw very well for you (by draw, I mean attract viewers or whatnot), so snapping it in two would seem to be the rational choice, but... That poses the question of what to do with your other artworks? Next answer: scrap sections. While this'll probably kill your draws for those pictures, it'd certainly make things a LOT more organized...
But this answer in and of itself poses a problem; what would you do with an amazing picture that has nothing to do with either? Certainly you wouldn't want to scrap it if you're really proud of it. While making a THIRD account would be a viable option... That could easily frustrate some viewers, not to mention whatever rules I'm unaware of.
But with the problem you're posed with, it seems mostly a matter of deciding between two factions (well, four, actually, but that's mostly a matter of what being moved where):
1) Create an account solely so your Satarnis gets the spotlight, and the other account is populated with anything PCA related and/or whatever else you like, shifting the focus so that your Satarnis artwork gets more... What's the phrase, pure publicity(?), or
2) Create an account solely so you may shine on what PCA characters and situations you have, where the other account has the Satarnis stuff mixed in with your other artworks.
I'm rather biased for the Pokemon, so for me to keep the vote fair... I'd say coin flip or roll a d4, but that's not what you were asking us to decide, right?
Ah well, my two cents.
