My growth on social media has always been rather slow, especially on FA since I do mostly SFW art. Twitter was going a bit more rapid until ElonMelon came and made it one big mess. For months, if not years, my growth became stagnant and on Twitter I couldn't get over the 4000 follows, and on FA 3000. It was always a little under. I knew that it's probably not my fault that posts don't have as much reach, but it always gets under your skin a little. I tried not to think about it and just keep going, focusing on art itself and just trying to swim around all the new platforms, trends, etc. etc.

After multiple stagnant months it seems like I finally broke that "ceilling" and passed the 3K on FA and 4K on Twitter milestones, thank you so much everyone :D Sadly I'm still too backlogged to be able to make a free art raffle yet, but work has been going much more smooth lately so I'll make one as soon as I can. It will happen eventually, it's been so long since last one qq

As for other platforms, I do keep running a Mastodon and Bluesky accounts but I'm not as active there. I check them regularly and post new art and updates, but can't scroll so many social media, I got no brain capacity for that D: While Mastodon is pretty nifty, Bluesky? I have no idea how people grow there xD If 10 people see my post and share it, I'm lucky haha.

One platform that really grew recently is Cara app and while all the others I mentioned try to be a Twitter copy, this one is actually filling up the hole after Artstation. As most of you probably know (or not), Artstation was one of the first "traitors" to give away all of the gathered art to AI generator scrapers and for a very long time there was no safe space for the big industry artists to show their work to public. Now that Instagram and whole Meta wants to put us all into scrapper again people have made a big move to Cara and it makes me so happy. I hate Instagram with passion xD I set my home page on Cara to show me whole network new stuff, and I see both amazing super inspiring art from proffessionals, as well as smaller artists pretty pics. It makes me so happy Lots of great tools to set up a simple portfolio page, I do recommend!

DOKOMI

I haven't been advertising it too much yet, but I will be in Artist Alley at Dokomi this year! Nabbed a small table together with  rudzik I will be there with the mousepads and improved neck pillows!
All neck pillows are fixed with my own two hands and none of them will break anymore when spreading their legs. I made sure the sewing is stretchy and rock solid xD I will be refilled on green and yellow dragons too, ofc if package comes to me in time. Also a few new playmat designs :>

I will be in Halle 3, at table 3F84 ! If you go to Dokomi in Düsseldorf, be sure to come and say hi :D
