upload or zip file them? (update im uploading them all here)
3 months ago
As some may have noticed and asked why some of my art has appeared on other places(E621).
To simply put, i had show some around on Discord and someone are uploading them all on E621.
i dont blame them for uploading them to show you, it just bugs me a little they didnt ask for my permission and i held them back because i didnt want to bombard my account with them or because i didnt feel they were good enough and need to be fixed or waited in line to be color(which i take forever about i admit).
so that had me do some thinking, should i upload all that has been uploaded(which is going to take quite some time) or just zip file them, upload the link here and start from scratch?
if so, what would you recommend i use for zip sharing site? i am little unsure which is good.

That "might" be an bombardment of art, but its one of the best ways i think. Since then people can fave all the art they like, give you feedback for it, and more.
As simple zip file somewhere dont has that type of interaction plus that at some point the link might expire and you have to re upload it.
The latter - Is easier, but using sites like mega, etc, means the zip file may disappear down the track.
Ultimately, it's your call, it's your hard work to make those wonderful art pieces. <3
If you really want to share a zip file though, just use Google Drive.
I'll send you a note with a link to my folder as an example.
The only other real option is to tell e621 that you should be on their "Do Not Post" list.
Alternatively, there is "conditional DNP", which as far as I know means that only you are allowed to upload the art, but no one else is.
Not all at once, just a few whenever you can
And it helps support your own gallery which a zip folder wouldn't.
AAAAND people who don't use E621 would see it all as new art!
also having more places where you upload your stuff to wouldn't be such a bad idea, having everything in one place is certainly a bad idea for a preservation standpoint, FA could suddenly disappear and everything you ever done or had will be gone in an instant. Having an archival on other sites would be a good way to go about it, ones that are publicly available to everyone to access if they know the links and such. ZIP them or individually distribute them, I would do both.
zip first before the mass uploading, that is.
I'm really happy seeing tons of your art in my feed every day. I really love your work. x/3 <3<3<3
I keep on putting off really looking at about half of it because I figure I'll do it when you're done; may I request that you post a "omfg finally done with the backlog" when it's done?
And just how many more days of stuff do you have at the current rate? SO MUCH GOOD STUFF.
Where do all these girls live, are they all living with Gin in some kind of mansion or do they live on that farm you have?
