Art Dump Soonish~/ Personal update or whatever?
6 months ago
I've been putting stuff on Bsky ( I use the same name there btw) first mostly due to the lack of friction when uploading, and also just because it's just easier due to how I just feel more encouraged there with how often people actually respond to what I put there. I actually get comments on my work and see what people like about my art.
I haven't forgotten this account. I'm just very bad at keeping up with multiple platforms, It's why I prefer people just donate to my Ko-fi instead of my patreon and so forth.
I have several pieces I intend to post here from over there soon. I need to re-scale several to fit the 10mb size restriction (one of the main sources of the aforementioned friction, I draw on a canvas that matches the same pixel density/size of my 22 inch pen display.) I've also been dealing with some IRL Issues, and will need to deal with some stuff at the DMV today.
This file size restriction is also what's been keeping me from putting most, if not any animation on this platform. I just can't make anything decent in 10mb .gifs. I can't make anything with audio, I can't make anything with good post processing that won't be pixelated to all hell. The lack of a single video format at all since the removal of flash as a format is kind of awful, just dumping thumbnails usually gets my animation uploads ignored/bypassed here in the first place and really killed my motivation to complete any of them for the longest time.
I really do intend to animate more once my living situation is more stable, it's just difficult to find out how to price it in a way that doesn't feel like I'm slaving away at it, and I keep saying yes to too many things on commissions, and projects become too vulnerable to scope creep. I don't want to disappoint these people by charging them more for what I promised them. I'd rather just impress them enough they leave tips.
