More Housekeeping!

Apparently following loads of new people the last few weeks caused my submission intake to spike, so I'm a couple of thousand behind where I'd been up to a couple of weeks ago... Oops! Spent a few hours getting it down last night, and its gone up a bit more again, but not too too much. I think I might devote some quiet times on weekends to working on it, maybe in the morning before certain folks get up or raiding happens.
I've uploaded most of my post-2000 artwork now, minus some where I'd need to find what box certain sketchbooks are in (if I still have them). Theres a couple more pieces I'm debating putting up, but we'll see about it. Its nice getting to share previously private art, and I'm glad the artists in question have been so supportive of it. I've got a couple more characters to upload, and a friend is helping me with some long-awaited designs which I'm excited about.
After being introduced to the concept of folders a couple of weeks ago by a friend, I've been working on organizing artwork into different categories. I've now got things in some good order.
Resources - Where ref sheets and comics live. I've created a category specifically for SFW ref sheets to share with SFW only artists and to see who I need to de-NSFW
Character Art - All the artwork broken down into the individual participants, as well as the couples category for where there is more than one character in the pic (not necessarily mine)
Art by Factions - This is probably mostly of my own interest, where I've broken the various characters up into a number of categories. I'm still unsure exactly where to place Niut and Cendrine, they're in Neutral at the moment but might be able to go into Monster Girls. Note: Not all the Monster Girls are on the same side.
Ratings - So I've also categorized the art into three categories, SFW, NSFW and DAW.
What DAW stands for will be obvious once art gets uploaded into it, but it'll be a way to isolate it more readily from people that may get offended. What I will say is that it does not consist of anything thats on most artists posted 'won't draw' lists, but still some may not like it. I wouldn't have liked it before meeting someone that made a huge impact on my life and my way of looking at it and the people around me. Any of the DAW art will also go into the Scraps, so that folks won't see it if they're browsing the main gallery, and I'll come up with a special thumbnail for it.
But it means I'll send folks to look in the Reference Sheets or SFW Reference Sheets folders rather than the Scraps to look at characters in the future. I wish there was a way to have art not appear in the Main Gallery or Scraps at all, but unless there is and I have no idea how, its the best solution without just not posting art.
Despite a few hiccups the last few days, I'm doing pretty good. This is the most open I've been in a long long time. I've got some friends that I adore, I'm getting to check out artists that I wouldn't have previously, and I might even go to my first Furry convention in 6 years (and first Australian one ever!) My writing is still on the backburner, but I've been working on and off on my intro to 2017 story, which I'd intended to upload prior to getting the character art associated with it, but it'll be its own post now. Hopefully once its done I'll be able to recommit more to my novel.
Its fun being able to explore situations and settings you may never experience yourself, and have characters that are so far different from you. I hope that everyone stays for the future. Thank you if you're a watcher, and if you're just stumbling your way in here, welcome!
