Hey folks, some of you know me from my TF art that I've posted on DeviantArt (DA), and are aware that I haven't been posting anything to FA. I used this account mainly to communicate with other artists and to peruse art or follow links to refs.

I've finally decided to start posting here as well.

A number of things changed that have made me decide to upload my art here.

#1) A moderator has finally taken my complaints seriously and removed 15+ images of extremely inappropriate drawings of underage characters in adult situations. This is the most important issue. Prior to this event, I was not confident that the site's leadership was willing to get rid of these illegal images, and had ignored very blatant extreme underage content before. Multiple moderators came up with very bad excuses for why they shouldn't remove this extreme content, even outright lying about the contents of the images. I did not want to upload my art to a site that refused to remove such content.

#2) DeviantArt is degrading. It started with Eclipse, but things are still going downhill. It's much harder to get profile views, or for people to find the right stuff. The search option is set to what's popular rather than what's new, which buries all artists except the few that appear on the top search result. To change this setting requires so many clicks and esoteric knowledge that users give up on searching for what they want to see.

#3) DA is getting drowned in AI images. Nearly all art sites made the right decision to ban it outright, but DA chose the wrong path and this has lead to the place slowly submerging in AI garbage.

#4) Starting in 2025, I began putting more time into art and have been much more active not only with my gallery but also with social media, and I've determined that most people looking for TF art do so here.

#5) As a SFW TF artist I was concerned that uploading my work here would be a disservice to my audience, as this site hosts more NSFW art than DA. However, now that DA is decaying, artists are moving to different platforms, including FA. Like many others, I am concerned that DA is dying, and may not last forever.

While all of these issues are a bit of what lead to my decision, reason #1 was by far the most important. I must stress that I still consider my DeviantArt gallery to be my main gallery, and I don't expect that to change. However, for those of you who prefer FA over DA, you will now be able to see and comment on my art here.

Over the next week I will be uploading some of my art from 2025 to present, as well as an exclusive TF image. I will not be transferring my entire gallery to FA, but I expect that I will be sharing most art here on FA as I do on DA moving forward.

I am active in these other places, if you wish to see more of my work and commentary.
