Should I post my robots on this account?
8 months ago
Just throwing this out into the void for anyone who has or wants to give thoughts.
For only the 173rd time, I find myself wondering about how best to post and share my art. Given I make (often feral) furry art, mechaphilia art, and robot art that melds the two together to some extent or another, it feels like a never ending game of "how can I post this in a way that makes everyone happy?"
My latest change of only posting my more general furry art over to this account seems to have gone over very well, and still feels like a really good choice to me. I can't deny with Zelko being my main sona and myself spending a lot more time on that type of art, this will likely become my main account one day.
That said, as I've been posting other old art like Blutoothless or Ainoinen over to E6 and pointing that art to Blu's account, I'm gaining followers on Blu's account who I'm worried might have a stroke when I post straight up mechaphilia stuff. So, I'm currently contemplating, at least going forward, posting copies of at least some of the robot art I do over to this account since i think it would likely be just fine to a larger audience.

...Which while they use combustion powered characters, I don't think have much if any of a mechaphiliac interest.
Ironically, while I avoided E6 for years due to complicated reasons I don't want to get into, it's feeling more and more like my best place to post because folks can just blacklist tags as they feel fit to see only the content they want.

I personally really love the feral boy love you've already been making, and I also love mechanical critters! You really should just post what you enjoy and let others who enjoy it find it. You still don't have much of an audience yet so now is the perfect time to just go wild with your personal interests and let that audience grow around your favorite things. Don't force yourself to specialize in one thing!
Also of those examples, the mechanical light fury is certainly more of what I enjoy. Very feral machines and such, slightly worn to show their mechanical nature (though that exhaust placement is rather inconvenient!). I've always loved feral machines and wished the world had more examples. Lately I've had Huragok and the Steward Constructs from Zelda in mind
-also please don't split your content among different accounts, I find that makes it very annoying for people who just want to follow all your works >v<
Good point, I updated it to something better.
I think what I'm ultimately headed towards is having one account (BluTheDerg) where I only post mechaphilia (literal cars, boats, planes, etc), and locating the rest of my content (feral art, general furry art, robot art) here under Zelko. It's just some of the robot art that bleeds into mechaphilia that gets complicated, but that I guess I could just make a judgement call on as far as where to go or dual posting it.
While your concerns are valid, unfortunately, the stuff I make is way too niche and broad in several different directions, with many of those directions not getting along with each other. The mechaphilia community and robot communities shy from the feral art, the feral folks probably don't want to see car fucking, etc. It's a problem without a perfect solution, but I just feel mechaphilia is the easy and most contentious thing to split off from the others to sort of maximize how many folks my given accounts can appeal to.
