I like to think of tumblr as a place that values it's creatives, but it baffles me how even here, people still somehow think it's ok to "post first, ask me to take it down later". In what way is that ok?

My time spent on instagram made me realize how much this practice sucked, and how pinterest is the worst of it. But even here, people still do it. I love art, i love seeing art, but i don't like how it is carted around and posted so carelessly. Please ask permission from artists EVERY TIME before you go and share their work on another site. And if they dont answer? Too damn bad. Respect their art and their choices.

#the first time my art was reposted on instagram it was *before i had even posted it there myself* and i was heartbroken #the worst part is when these accounts receive much more attention than what you share.#how are you supposed to know that people enjoyed it? it's just all messed up #im burning pinterest to the ground at this point. if you repost art there you are public enemy no. 1 #sourcing art has become a skill i never knew i would need. please for the love of god stop following accounts that do this #i want to find artists just as much as anyone but i think that skipping the consent part is unacceptable #do better tumblr... for your artists

I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question. and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost. Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half." All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon

#there is actually nothing morally wrong with running an account that just reuploads ppl's artwork or their jokes or their cosplays #if you just put a VISIBLE LINK in the description of your post with proper credit then it would be beneficial for everyone #because you can get your little clout or whatever it is you want by putting a bunch of same-category content on a page #but nobody's getting fucked over because if your post blows up then people just get FUNNELED to the source #because it's placed so plainly where everyone can see it #and yeah it's better to retweet or reblog but #on the rare occasion that I see my shit reuploaded on tumblr WHICH IS WEIRD BC I MAKE MY OWN POSTS HERE but anyway #someone making their own post where they upload my stuff. and it's always the floral self portraits so let's say it's a post with all those #if I scroll to the bottom and it says like. Artwork by Serglesinner on Twitter <-- clickable link [Sergle's Prints] <-- clickable link #to my etsy #I'm like oh okay and all the anger leaves my body and I'm like ah I see. and I toss the rock aside #like oh okay so you actually care that a person made these pieces. Instead of posting the caption ''women <3'' or smth #like you've GOTTA die if you do that. but if you just link back #or if you go to the effort of writing like a description with a BLURB? like it's a damn museum. like a light paragraph of info #about what the art is and who made it and their links #I am literally sucking you in a strange and peculiar manner. that is extremely helpful #and maybe other artists don't want this AT ALL and they'd rather people not reupload even if it is credited #but I feeeeeeeeel. like 99% of the time this would solve the issue #reposters could genuinely be helping ppl. sometimes the repost gets more traction than the real thing #as long as it credits the creator then that's an okay thing to happen!#that can land somebody a sale! a commission order! a new fan! A JOB #A JOB!!!!!!!!!!#sergle.txt #I didn't write this eloquently AT ALL what the fuck ever barkbarkbarkbark

Even more Toge screencap studies — except for one(1) of the Toges 👀 which one could it be?

Bonus: Shoutout to whoever animated Toge popping his hip out in this shot. I know what you are.

#I’m trying this new thing where I put my posts in the Queue instead of just posting them whenever they’re done #which is I think what you’re supposed to do as a creator? so your followers have a better chance of actually seeing when you post? but also #i am very bad at waiting lol — and jjk is trending right now too rip (or it is at time of writing anyway„#which is 2 AM and therefore not a condusive time to just impulsively post actual content :’) )#update: i got bored and posted it anyway lol #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #inumaki toge #fanart #siphisketches #my art #artists on tumblr #csp #id in alt

I absolutely LOVE your Rocky fan art! I've been trying to get better at the Lackadaisy art style for my fan art✨️✨️✨️

Got any tips or advice?🤔

First of all, thank you! DJf;lalsmcx

Second, seeing as you are a traditional artist and not digital I will do my best to depart some knowledge that might be useful.

I would recommend pulling up the Lackadaisy site. They have a gallery section that you can rummage through and find some neat art work by Tracy to use as reference.

Here's the link:

Just have that up on your phone or something similar! It should help a bit drawing the characters.

The previews have some neat stuff on how Tracy does the anatomy so you can start by going there!

#artists on tumblr #digital art #lackadaisy #drawing cats #artist process #once you get better at understanding how it all comes together #think of them as rules #and then break those rules to fit your own art style #it will be a natural process of figuring out how you like to do certain elements and such from then on #lumin ruminates

hey if an artist posts a progress pic of their art over time, please don’t tell them their old style is better

#even if you do like the old style more don’t tell them!! it’s rude!#I have a lot of self doubt so even just one ‘your old style is better!’ kills my confidence haha #I’m not very consistent so my style shifts often anyway 😭#be nice to artists 🥹#not pink #chelly rambles #art #art struggles #artists on tumblr #sorry for rambling!

hello mutual :] I'm glad u like sparks. she's my favorite too HSJDJKEKEKE my dms are open if you'd like to chat ocs !!!

I love her colorss, normally I dont give the green/ orange combo much thought cause it rarely stands out to me, but you did really well with how you utilized the colors! I also really like the star shape of her spear!
