Commission Beggars
So, lately on dA (and elsewhere) I've been inundated with random people I've never met, do not follow, and have in no way any form of content overlap DM'ing me out out of blue advertising their commissions to me. Offering me "SPECIAL DEALS" to me to buy from them, or in one notorious case, dangle the prospect of free fanart of one of my characters from them if it meant I was going to buy an expensive 200$+ commission from them later. Some of these are innocent, younger or smaller artists trying to make a name for themselves. But other times they all seem to be carbon copied with the same exact phrases and hook lines. Asking to be "given a chance" and advertising themselves with "previous customer reviews!" as if they were selling a "AS SEEN ON TV" gizmo on public access TV at 3AM. It sounds so scripted and is happening all the time over deviantart, twitter, discord, etc. And like, I get it, I understand being desperate and needing to use your creative skills to make ends meet. I've
Discord Invites
I have opened up a new kink-related Discord where all my fetish images will now be posted. I am being selective with invites to keep the amount of moderation I have to do minimal (and to keep the vibe chill) but if anyone wants one, I may consider DM'ing a link! Just ask in the comments and I may send one your way. Please note, your chances improve if I've actually interacted with you in a meaningful way before. Also my Pixiv is also where all my old art and some new stuff is also hosted over yonder: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/3088214
Purged (Where to Find my Fetish Content)
I have went and purged my gallery preemptively (mostly) of images I had just in case. While I know a majority of my images didn't hit the qualifications for removal (all OC's, no Sex Toys, All Adults, No real Nudity, etc.) I decided that for my future career endeavors and dA's increasingly unsafe and fickle moderating decisions it was for best. However! I have uploaded the vast majority of the removed images to my Pixiv over Yonder: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/3088214 I also have an Eka's Portal account where specific other content is also uploaded of mine. If you know, you know. I have also opened up a kink-oriented Discord where I also upload images, talk about my project, gush about OC's, etc. However, it is **invite only** and I only hand out invites to specific people to keep it small and relatively contained. In terms of other Discord kink servers, I post around on Shio's, FalseAlias's, and Astarofthebears Discord as well.
dA has made my Decision for Me
I recently just had an image removed by deviantart from 2017 that had: - Only bare-chest featured was from a guy - All over 21 - My own Damn OC's (and a friends) All because it, and I quote "glorifies sexual violence". It was a CID image involving a goddamn cooking pot, no more graphic than a old Saturday morning cartoon. Not only that, 18+ content in general can only be used behind subscription tiers and walls. This was not the case when I joined over fifteen years ago. It is clear that deviantart's arbitrary application of its rules and changes to them is becoming not only untenable but the mass anonymous reporting is becoming too hard to rectify. These silent ToS changes and arbitrary application of what gets removed makes dA nearly impossible to use regularly without fear of getting any future content removed for increasingly arbitrary reasons, bot-takedowns, or some holier than thou righteous puritan crusader or anyone with a grudge can delete half a gallery. So I know people
