tbh the more i think about it, the more i just dont want to post my art on tumblr anymore. i think i might be done for real. at least on this website :/

this is so frustrating

genuinly the only reason i havent deleted is because reblogs forcibly archive ur stuff and its not even about whether i have been scraped (im sure i have) but its more so about the feeling of the expoloitation built into the fucking TOS, i have zero faith in the "opt out" option, it's probably just a cosmetic.

So to "protect" my art for the simple purpose of not getting fucking exploited by the very same website, I "must" glaze, nightshade if possible. maybe add a readable watermark with good font, so I can be found more easily and whatever.

But for what? slightly more visiblity? ppl only like, barely reblog, let alone leave comments, whether tags or replies.

If I wanted more visibility I wouldn't be drawing 200+ artworks of my niche rarepair. or mod the rarepair's server, run events.

This is all a hobby; I don't earn money, I barely made even last convention I attended and that's only when not counting my travel and food costs.

I get what people mean when they want you to keep fighting and post art. But it's so fucking frustrating for seemingly no one to realise how exhausting this is to deal with!? for virtually no payback too.

sigh

yeah i think im done with posting art on tumblr and will slowly move off this site.

#big rant time #on a sidenote #I also really hate glazing #because i spent a lot of time on those drawings and i dont like it very much to see it warped in a sense #i was already super unhappy when i glazed the new year drawing #i spent so much fuckign time on my paintings #i'd love to just post HQ versions of them instead #and glazing doodles is fairly noticeable #not super #but when ur not familiar with the original #so i end up being bothered with them too #even tho i care way less about the image quality here #://////#not to speak of the extra steps glazing adds to the process of simply posting #this is just exhausting #like ive to wait a couple minutes for the result through webglaze #then if i dont like it enough i rerun it through but this time resetting the artstyle #etc. etc.#i ended up glazing teh LNY piece three times because i caught a mistake in the first glaze and then had to glaze twice again #because i didnt like the 2nd result #thats like #so much time added onto the already lenghty process #a step i dont even like
