Damn. Has it really been so long? DA used to be one of my fav places and it still an active place for me. At least for posting art.
I still fav the art of others who I currently +watch, but I rarely use DA for so many of the things I used to. I can't browse for inspiration any more, or search for new artists. Finding stock images or art tutorials has become near impossible.
People don't tag things properly, AI garbage is every where, even the groups are floundering.
I so wish they'd never sold the site to Wix. I so wish they'd never gotten rid of categories, and I definitely wish they hadn't allowed AI let alone embraced it.
I thank those of you who remain to fav on my art and continue to watch me here. I have no plans to leave just yet, but if you do go I hope you'll watch me on Bluesky or on Furaffinity.
Lovely, now my PS cs5 is borked up. Anyone else getting a sudden serial number not working error? I've had this on my pc for years now, it's a legit copy. Anyone know how to fix this?
This artwork is 9 x 12 inches on heavy bristol. Marker, pencil and acrylics.

Now this will only work if I'm able to get enough folks to hit the monthly goal. I just don't have the capacity to juggle a full color piece and do commissions and or adopts .
If I get patreon and or Ko-fi memberships going these are some ideas I'm pondering over. What do you think of them?
I'd like to 'crowdfund' some fanart and OC art. ex: Krystal, Renamon, Maid Marrion, my oc Albinus and Zahara.
Would you be up for rewards such as:
$1 = receive a non watermarked 72 dpi version of all artwork and the ability to vote on up coming subjects
$5 = receive a 300 dpi non watermarked version of all artwork and the ability to vote on up coming subjects.
$10 = The PSD and or a video time lapse of the artwork, plus the $5 tier rewards.
$50 = A 'Wing it' style thigh high sketch commission (no edits, just a sketch ) of a char of your choosing plus the lower tier rewards.
Now this will only work if I'm able to get enough folks to hit the monthly goal. I just don't have the capcity to juggle a full color piece and do commissions and or adopts .
Does this sound like something you'd personally be interested in? do you have suggestions of other rewards? (please don't suggest physical good that need to be mailed or other styles of commission)
Thanks!
I've had a few folks suggest I try going back to running a patreon.. tho the last few years Patreon has had some problems.
But I want to see what folks think. Would you be interested in that if I were to set it back up? What sort of rewards would you like to see? ( please don't suggest commissions or physical items. )
Ko-fi allows for a similar set up if that would be preferred?
