Hey everyone!

I've recently discovered a pile of little-known collaboration pics between Bagheera and Balaa on a FurAffinity alt account, simoom, including some really tasteful nsfw.

Shortly after my discovery almost entire gallery has been deleted. Fortunately, somebody wrote a FurAffinity grabber and downloaded that gallery prior to its deletion. All the pics from that gallery can be downloaded at http://uploads.toonlynx.org/uploads/simoom.zip
I'd like to make these pics once again available to the public by uploading them to e621.

I've already checked that neither of the artists is on the DNP list. However, I'm a total n00b on e621 and properly tagging 150 pics sounds intimidating. Also I seem to be currently limited to 10 uploads, and I have very little idea about tagging.

I wonder if anybody with more experience and/or access to batch upload tools could give any pointers on how to proceed?

Thanks in advance!

There's currenly no batch/mass uploading feature available on e6 yet, but there's this that you can use.

Only one problem, it only supports URL downloads, so no uploading via computer. The individual pics must be already on the web for you to direct-link it to upload.

Oh and another thing before you post, do you know the reason why they had wiped their gallery on FA in the first place? It could be because they don't want it on the web anymore and by reposting they could take it all down again.

If they wiped their gallery that's likely some hint that they don't want it all public, so I'm not going to risk uploading them and get a whole load of deleted posts.

I could help tag them though.

If someone downloads your zip they can start uploading the pictures.

eh, i can probably take a hit depending on the quality of these pics (still got 968 pics in my zip for M. Sherman's pics). oops, scratch that last part, missed the link in the first post.

edit: someone mind helping with the species tagging of these pics?

edit2: dammit, i knew i should've waited for clarification on the artist info first...

post #129943

this is in that zip file but it's already here under the artist bagheera.

if you see this, Calgarribbazz, please respond to my PM regarding the artist tags when you can. now i gotta go through and make sure none of the remaining pics are already here. :/

edit3: Calgarribbazz, please compare those pics in the zip file to those already here under the artists Balaa and bagheera and filter out any duplicates. be they exact matches or smaller file sizes then reupload the zipe.

Can't find how to PM people, so I'll repsond here (and sorry for the late reply!)

Everything with "balaaoc" or "baggynvitas" in the filename is by both Balaa and Bagheera.

Pics noticeably differing in style from the collabs are by Bagheera, namely 1296784648.simoom_40_baggyposes.jpg, 1296862478.simoom_44_afarawaydream.jpg,1297229084.simoom_67_tomyvalkyrie.jpg, 1298844677.simoom_90_herublushes.jpg, 1298844780.simoom_91_mypredatormyqueen.jpg.

The first 8 pics are by Balaa (1286606508.simoom_simoomconcepty.jpg to 1296271433.simoom_7_sketch77.jpg) as well as 1297002646.simoom_59_even_in_places_of_light.jpg and the last 12 pics (1300917607.simoom_139_flowers_and_snow_1.jpg to 1301426073.simoom_150_waitingintothesettingsun.jpg).

We'll have to assume everything else is a collab between Bagheera and Balaa. Unfortunately there's no way to tell for sure - "simoom" was a collab account for Bagheera and Balaa, and not a real artist.

Oh! I should also mention recurring characters in these pics. In the treos's pic above, the darker male is Bagheera and the brigher male is Vitas. The recurring female in these pics is Balaa (if in doubt, see 1296862204.simoom_42_balaaxenalapinupconcept1.jpg for a solo pic).

Thanks a lot for the upload!
