so it’s long past time I stop putting my work on a site that doesn’t respect human artists! I’m tired of sitting back and pretending I have no recourse. I glaze and nightshade my work but putting it on here is still supportive of a crappy site. I’m not looking for “but every site acts this way, it’s just the way things are now”arguments from people. I’m tired of my concerns being brushed aside by nearly everyone around me. I’m PISSED. dA stopped being worth artists’ time and attention a long time ago and we all know it. The second they started making out with a long-time internet culture industry once it could make them money with AI slog, it was the final straw. Basically what I’m saying is that virtually all of my new work going forward is not getting posted here. I will still participate in RP group shenanigans but will likely be focusing on writing more than drawing for it. Will I still post art from time to time? Maybe, if group requirements call for it. I’ll still draw my OCs
Even though I missed custom widgets, I know for certain that I will not do anything dramatic with them. Instead, have this pretty picture of the Orion nebula.
Gonna be spending a lot more time not using dA unless it's for ebc stuff. I'll cross post for now but lol. This hellsite keeps disappointing me and the only reason I still have core (now cancelled) is bc my adhd ass kept forgetting to unsubscribe. Find me at Toyhouse (Aryn), Bluesky (nero-angelo), and Tumblr (riven-voltaire)
