Another reblog since midnight is almost upon us in ESTland. I probably won’t be deleting the account or participating in any log-off protests since I doubt that’ll do anything, so there might be one or two more of these, but otherwise, I’m outtie.

It was a fun run, yo. See you all in the other alleys of the internet!

Alright, so.

Lets get this out of the way first.

SFW:

[DEVIANT ART]

SFW AND NSFW (Requires account):

[FUR AFFINITY]

[NEWGROUNDS]

[DERPIBOORU]

Uploads will be done in batches over a long period so as not to flood the sites. I’ll try to make sure there’s some new stuff mixed in there to keep it interesting.

– I will not be joining Twitter –

and I encourage all my fellow artists to rethink opening accounts there. Twitter has a long, long history of fucking with users’ content and I guarantee you if you thought Tumblr was bad Twitter is going to be a million times worse, and far more interested in who you are. If you’re like me and like to keep your professional/personal life and NSFW artist life separate, you’re going to find it very hard to maintain that the longer you’re associated with that platform. It’s not just an administration problem, and it’s not just a userbase problem. It’s both. I know Twitter’s become the new social scene because it’s like a Tumblr-lite but it is a bad, bad idea. Be smart about your privacy.

This blog will no longer be updated.

Tumblr has proven over the last couple of weeks that it has zero interest in adhering to its own new guidelines and would rather keep things maintained by halfwit robots (sorry Runtime) than anything with a soul and flexible rationality. (She’s good in this department though.) It’s simply an awful platform for anybody in any visual medium now and, if I may place a soapbox under myself for a moment, morally I can’t support it in the slightest. I have no problem going elsewhere for smut or for uploading smut, but to maintain yourself as an open platform for NSFW content for so many years, pulling in traffic and revenue off that work, and then shut the door on it with such little regard for not just the people who’ve come to rely on your service but also for the people who get caught in your wide-cast net when they shouldn’t? It’s not just stupid, it’s bad business. I am not sure what tumblr’s going to look like after the 17th, and I doubt it’ll really die, but it’s not going to be the same site and I think it’s going to be a far more notorious one in the years to come, SFW-only content be damned.

If you want to continue following my work, I highly suggest clicking one of the links above and bookmarking it. As my professional life and personal/pony life settle into smoother balance, uploads will begin to become more frequent again. It’s been a rough but exciting ride recently, and I hate that it has to be punctuated by this, but I’m excited to get back in the saddle and start making you guys smile again.

Pun intended.

Nighttime reblog. [FUR AFFINITY] and [NEWGROUNDS] have had their first dump. More to come. Thank you everyone who’s followed me from one to the other! I’m not relying on this for a living like so many others but the continued interest really warms my heart like nothing else. You guys are aces.

Alright, so.

Pic unrelated So I know I’ve been gone a bit, and wouldn’t you know it right when I’ve got some time to start dumping Tumblr goes and ends the world or something. Now, while this blog in particular is SFW I do have a NSFW blog (surprise to all four of you who didn’t know!) and I’m left wondering what to do about this whole situation that isn’t really as big a situation for me as it is for other people. On one hand, Tumblr’s new NSFW policy (nuke everything) doesn’t affect this blog. At all. In theory. In practice their bot seems to be flagging sfw artists left and right as well. Given my stuff can be kinda racy at times, I have no doubt I’m gonna get hit at some point. On the other hand, which is really the same hand, because I see no positives to this policy, and because of their “let the bot sort it out” method of enacting it, I find it difficult to take seriously continuing to invest time in a platform that will probably at some point waste my time sorting out its own shortcomings for it. I don’t really look forward to a day where I have to sincerely explain to some tumblr rep why my ridiculous drawings should classify as “artistic expression.” On the third hand, or balanced on my dick, or something, (in b4 flagged) their explanation post came across as a strange mix of pathetic and pretentious, and I feel compelled to jump ship on principle. SO. As far as NSFW stuff goes, I’ll be looking for a new place to post my more depraved shitposting. Probably going to bite the bullet and make a FurAffinity account. However, I’d sincerely appreciate any suggestions as to other places I can take my work. Ideally I’d have two accounts on the same platform, to fully keep my SFW and NSFW work separate. Much as I enjoy drawing a good pair of spread legs, I also respect the desires of some people to avoid seeing a pair of spread legs. And as far as Tumblr goes, I’m still weighing my options. I’m not terribly fond of continuing to support the site in any capacity, or deal with its work-in-progress automatic censor. I’ll make another post when I have everything figured out. See all you gents soon.

So I’m not dead! Just busy busy busy with lots of projects and three jobs. So in the meantime, before I dump a fuckload of sketches into everyone’s feed, have this wonderful adorable headshot of Runtime I commissioned! And go check out @lrusujpg stuff. They’re currently doing an absolute steal on headshot pics, and they have a style that’s super clean, super sleek, and is just dripping with character. I absolutely adore it. And I adore this. <3 Thank you!

Commission

KO-FI

[testostepone-blog]

(ASSUME ALL LINKED BLOGS ARE NSFW) Sketchdump! Featuring Runtime and @simplybackwards‘ Non-Toxic being super dank crunk for shizlet, some silly art of Raffica’s fengdrake Azurite, and plenty of terrible puns, @cryoganix being proud of his certs, a little of @alumx‘s Celestias, Nightmare Moon being lovely, and Non once again, under the effects of four consecutive Monsters. 1 Like = 1 Prayer. Dope Derpi

[testostepone-blog]

Sketch commission for Silver Storm! You have no idea how much I wanted to do a version where Celestia was replaced by a tape measure. This is why I have cartoons instead of a social life. Derpi

Another PSA

Been trying to get this posted for a while. I’m currently away from home, and the internet where I’m staying is terrible. Brought a laptop to continue working, but unfortunately it doesn’t want to play nice with any kind of quick brushstrokes. So that means I’m basically going to be off the grid until Monday. My apologies to anyone waiting on a commission- I was hoping this week would be productive with zero interruptions to workflow. I’ll follow up if anything changes.

[testostepone-blog]

Runposting time! Slavtime with Libby Airspinner, some intermission drawings for streams, shameless shilling, @simplybackwards‘s Non-Toxic and @taloverae’s Verlo Streams falling for it, (<3 you guys) and @mynders-universe‘s Art’s Desire coming face-to-face with the robodork herself. All linked blogs should be assumed NSFW! Slav Derpi Moneyhole Derpi Angrysmol Box Derpi

[testostepone-blog]

Assorted doodles! More Azurite, (including an inappropriate joke- bonus points if you catch it,) a robot pony design for a dude, and Nightmare and Daybreaker showing that even in the worst scenarios, sisters are still sisters at heart. Sisters Derpi

[testostepone-blog]

Recent stuff! A little bit of a Ghost tribute using Nightmare Moon because I’m a massive autist, A little... Halvar, two Satyr Sisters appreciating each other, and a little more Nightmare. After that, a few quick pics for Azurite of Firelight of his fengdrake (feathered dragon) Azurite. He’s a fuckin qt.

[testostepone-blog]

Something I’ve been meaning to upload for a while. Series of robot designs of the Mane Six. Some simple, some weird, some started back in February, some finished as recently as a month ago. No the Dash one isn’t NSFW. Derpi Links Ponks Twi Dash Rararararararararararara Appayak Flooterbooter Regarding activity- fingers crossed, house electrical issues will be resolved tomorrow. Expect things to ramp up again if they are.

Will Snarflegrr ever have a fortunate outcome?

Maybe one day.

[testostepone-blog]

And a couple of stream things! Pretty self explanatory. QT sphinx belongs to his namesake Corpsly.

[testostepone-blog]

Following up @mynders-universe‘s post with my own, here’s my end of the project! The idea was for us all to sketch our OCs, and then have each other ink them in our own unique inking styles. This was extremely fun, and there might be more down the road since a few people signed up and didn’t get their sketches in yet.~ Get on it you dorks I wanna draw your shit. In order, OCs belong to: Me, (duh) @acesentialsketches, Arcade Fever, @candyclops, @dr-idiot, @mynders-universe, and @big-mac-115. NSFW WARNING for quite a few of these!

[testostepone-blog]

I love how these came out! I’ll get yours up ASAP <3

I did a group project where we all make sketches and have each other line them. It was a lot of fun. .3.

(Users beware! All blogs tagged contain mature/NSFW content to some extent!)
