you need to reblog art. you need to reblog fic. you need to reblog gif sets. you need to reblog headcanons and meta and theories. if you want fandom to survive, you have to do these things. start looking at the notes on the fandom posts that cross your dash and i guarantee you'll notice a massive disparity between likes and reblogs. you are consuming. you need to participate.

This 100%

I don’t understand why people don’t reblog things on tumblr anymore

That is how you participate in fandom on this godforesaken website/app. By reblogging, not likes, REBLOGGING

What happened? Why has this changed that people don’t reblog stuff??? Genuinely want to know because people are very much using repost/share features on sites like IG and Bsky, but they are doing that less and less here where the site was literally built to function via reposts which we just call reblogs on tumblr.

Like I get that no one owes anyone “engagement” or whatever it’s called these days - but this ain’t about that. It’s about sharing our love for a thing PUBLICLY (dare I say socially) and hoping it’ll find new people to also love it PUBLICLY. (Don’t get me started on my old man yells at cloud speech about fandom being privatized/gate-kept and hidden in discord servers)

Like what happened to unabashedly sharing interests? Putting stuff up on the tumblr fridge (via reblogs) that are basically saying “omg guys look at this amazing thing, I saw it and I wanted everyone else to see it so I’m putting it up on my tumblr fridge for you to see because it’s amazing and I thought you’d like to see it too and hey maybe you can take a copy (reblog from me) and put it on your fridge cuz maybe someone you know that I don’t know will want to see it too”

i was going to add this to my tags rant, but actually i need to say it out loud:

if you privatize your enjoyment of fandom creations, fandom creators are going to start privatizing their creativity.

art will stop being posted. fics will stop being updated. blogs and ao3 accounts will disappear. some of these creatives will just start sending their works to people they know will enjoy them; others will stop creating entirely. and it will be because they got tired of being ignored in favor of secret little discord bookclubs and shunned to the hidden likes section on people's blogs.

the biggest contributors to this toxic fandom culture of apathy and selfishness love to point out that no one is owed engagement. you forget that you are not owed what you now call "content", and you will lose the things you enjoy because you refuse to be kind to the people who are making them available.

It's true you should first and foremost create for yourself and people that enjoy it will rally behind you BUT it's also true if you get like 5 likes you might stop posting that content or content all together because it just feels like a beat down to spend hours on something for people to consume it so quickly and move on with not even a nod your way. I'll say it again: Discords with friends are fun to spread creativity, and share ideas but if you're not sharing the love with the creators you enjoy they might not be there when you finally do come back.

do you make your art yourself?? Is it digitally done?? Or is it ain't?

Hi anon ^^

Thanks a lot for your message and for taking the time to contact me!

Do you make your art yourself?? Is it digitally done?? Or is it AI?

Nope, no AI: I use Photoshop CS6, it's done by hand from scratch, the old way, and it's been the case for years. My art are digital paintings and my style has been pretty consistant for more than 10 years now. For instance, you almost have 4 years between these drawings…

…and almost 11-12 between these ones:

If you are interested in my technique, I also post, from time to time, WIPs and "Step by Step" in my arttechnique and WIPs tags HERE and HERE.

As I was saying, I use Photoshop CS6 but I also use more rarely Procreate or a mix "Photoshop + Rebelle 7" to add an "oil painting brush strokes" effect to my art like in this Sherlock portrait for instance.

I love to use texturized brushes and I'm particularly fan of the Mar-ka set and the Deharm brushes on Deviant Art (if you are an artist yourself, I really recommended these PS brushes).

However, I use OF COURSE reference pictures for my works, I don't draw from memory, it's impossible for me as I have a rather realistic style, so I draw inspiration from existing pictures of actors/singers or from stock pictures, movie stills, etc...

But I can't blame you for thinking my art is AI, I have the kind of art style and textures that AI loves to copy and emulate from. I was talking about it on Twitter the other day when Derek, the "Suit Guy", a pretty famous Twitter user in the world of fashion, was pointing out that "(…) People who are used to creating things using certain methods or styles feel like they need to change their style of expression so they're not accused of using AI." (source).

I'm not going to change my art style but I'm regularly facing this problem:

I'm digressing but with AI detectors not being reliable anymore, some sites put some digital artworks directly in the AI category. That's what happened to this artist here…

....and it happened to me too. An AI detector detected my digital works as "Done in Stable diffusion" for the first artwork and "Done in MidJourney" for the other two, artworks…done in…well, I let you see in what years they were done.

I'm very ahead of my time or a time traveler apparently. 😞

autocorrect hates me

Don't worry, it hates all of us. 😅😭

Thanks again and have a great day :)
