Oopsie I didn't post for a year!
10 months ago
HI HELLO HI HEYA!!!!
WHOOPS!!! If you're following me on twitter you know I've still been posting there but YUP I got one hell of a backlog, but I do plan to post all that because I really like having a high-res gallery here with folders and stuff!
However I do think I wanna reconsider the websites I use... I don't dislike tumblr and I used that for a bit, but idk it felt a little redundant since I still do most of my casual scrolling on twitter. That was my mindset for a while, but I'm realizing I don't really love scrolling twitter these days! I'm preaching to the choir on a lot of this, but I feel like it's structured in a way that breeds a lot of negativity (even more than it used to pre-Elon), and I kinda want to be somewhere where more of my pals/favorite artists are rather than trying to make that place work for things it really isn't made for (artists).
I could ramble about twitter's issues for a while but the root of it is that I think I do wanna change what I use as my primary posting spot, furaffinity will probably always be where I upload backlogs (apologies that I'll still be slow but I know what I'm about LMAO), and I'm thinking Bluesky is likely where I'm gonna switch to posting my art first. I'm not super sure what I'll do with my twitter, I might still use it to announce my comm openings and there's a solid chance it could improve again under new management, but I think I'd like to just run it parallel with Bluesky in the sense that I'd post to both, but only ever really browse Bluesky for the sake of my own sanity.
Also some other stuff! I haven't done comms in over a year on account of me working bigboy jobs and doing grad school! Next semester though I'm not really going to have time to have a job outside of my coursework, SO I plan on taking comms as much as I can in the spring of next year! I wanna overhaul my price sheet and TOS to include stuff I'd be down to draw; I don't plan on raising my prices *much*, but at least enough to the point where it's kinda equal to if I had a part time job. I wanna offer stuff like ref sheets and sequences because I have a lot of fun with those :)
I might start uploading my backlog today or sometime this week as my fall break starts... I apologize that I miss out on so much art by not checking FA as often these days, and I do always still see all the notifications after I upload my backlogs, so wherever you see my art, thank you so much for the support on it!!!

It's nice to see you here again, Nolem. I can't wait to see more of your art uploaded here. But will it include the gas alts?
