Name Change on Deviantart! CuttleSkulls!

CuttleSkulls
I hope this isn't too confusing!
I've been meaning to make this change for a long time. I've always been torn as how exactly to proceed when it came to separating my 'professional' non furry work, my professional furry/character design work, and my not safe for work art. Since as lame as it is, there still is stigma associated with all of these things, and I don't want to limit my chances as an artist moving forward.
I love the username RaptorSlut, I really do, and not too many people know it came from a long standing joke between my sister and I, so it's special to me. I also love the name CuttleSkulls, and I've been working on creating a name for myself under that pen name as well.
However, building a following and a customer base to keep myself fed is hard enough, keeping two separate portfolios is even harder, and I really hate compromising who I am and what I love in order to keep up an 'image'. So the solution I came up with to sort of integrate/fix this is as follows:
CuttleSkulls @ DA - Safe for work furry art, non furry art, all professional portfolio work, character designs, adoptables, comics and such! Sort of my umbrella web presence that shows my skills for any and every audience
RaptorSlut @ Furaffinity - Pretty self explanatory since you're already here! The main repository for all my furry work, SFW and NSFW, YCHs, and adoptables
CuttleSkulls @ Tumblr - More of my non furry work, sketches, fanart, cosplays and crafts, videogame shenanigans, personal projects, visual essays, comic commentary, Sprites and Dice work, and a webcomic I hope to launch called Cuttlebones
Raptorslut @ Tumblr - Furry focused sketches, linearts, WIPS, adopt previews, a lot of the smaller, less 'finished' stuff that I don't always post to FA. Everything I post here is usually cross posted to twitter
CuttleSkulls @ Twitter - Kind of my personal/professional twitter, selfies, fun things I find while out and about, videogame news and shenanigans, and probably a lot of snakes
RaptorSlut @ Twitter - Even MORE sketches and shenanigans that aren't posted to tumblr, chatting between the community on twitter, dumb pictures of my dogs, mobile uploads, and me being a dork
RaptorSlut @ Toyhouse - Personal characters, and a place to list unsold characters
Personal Website - Coming soon!
Also please bear with us as we try to get all of these organized, but we're also setting up Stardragon Gemexchange groups on various sites!
GemExchange @ Furaffinity - We try to favorite all Stardragon art and maintain profile and art submissions
GemExchange @ DeviantArt - We're still setting this one up, but please give us a watch or ask for membership and submit any Stardragon art you have! We've also got a chatroom set up for roleplay and events!
GemExchange @ Toyhouse - Please feel free to add your Stardragons to this world!
GemExchange Forums - If you ever want to set up a longer text or para roleplay, we've got space for that too!
Thank you all for all the support and help <3 Been trying to get my life organized so I can make more art for you all.

FA+

Trying to separate professional work with cartoony adopts and stuff is really hard. Specially when your style has a large range, from animu to semi realism, to realism.
I'm craigosaurus for now, but now I have no idea what to name my professional portfolio with all of my 'serious' work (not that adopts or cartoons are not serious, I just mean it by semi realism/realism aka stuff I want to work with in the future)
And then theres the problem of having silly fanart sketches (coughhomestuckcough) and I have no idea where to put them since I'm kinda moving away from posting art on Tumblr, which was my main fanart place.
AND THEN THERES THE NSFW FURRY ART OH BOI. I have 2 images on here but I FEEL LIKE IT'S INNAPROPRIATE.
Being an artist is hard.
Too bad DA is like...lmfao.
I got another website that I might try though.
But yeah...yeahhHHHHh
Probably gonna give dA another try. Again.
