Topic: Thoughts on posting?

Posted under Art Talk

I'm in the process of requesting permission to post and posting colored versions of others Line Art to E621.
Meanwhile, I've gathered the courage to post my own works on FurAffinity.

Initially, I kinda had the idea that I'd wait for someone else to post my work here... but now I'm thinking I should just go ahead and post it.
Bit stuck on that idea though;
Is it in bad taste to post your own works here?
I know some people might post there work directly here, but mine is already on FA.

It could be just nervousness on my part that's making me second guess things. Seeing as how I only just started posting works at all, however, I'd still like to check.

As a side note; I have an MLP short 'comic' (series of images with dialog connecting them). Are there any heads up about the pool system that I should know about or is it all self explanatory.

If it meets e621 standards, then hell no. It is never in bad taste to upload your own work here. Plenty of users on e621, Contributor-ranked users especially, upload their work on e621.

I'd do so myself, but I don't have any art of relevance to upload here. I'm not at that stage yet.

There's a bunch of artists who upload their own stuff here, it's not frowned upon at all. :)

Pooling is easy enough. You only have to make a new pool, then keep adding posts to it by clicking "Add to pool" next to a post and selecting your pool from the menu (it will remember your last setting for ease of use when doing multiple images). Alternatively, you can immediately add the post upon uploading by including a pool:0000 tag, the pool number (like 6823 here) of course replacing the zeroes.

Whatever you do, do not leave your art up any longer than a few days or so.

Post it up, steal this site's traffic, then remove it.

You keep insisting on that in every related thread. Nobody's actually listened to your negativity so far, what makes you think this guy will?

Updated by anonymous

ok, I've posted till I ran out of posting ability for a bit. I'll be honest though, I'm starting to run out of steam(energy) after a long day and it started to show a few posts in. I forgot to tag myself the artist on a few of them. Trying to catch my mistakes, but I assume others will catch my slack and rectify them if I miss them, right?
(almost finished, but I'm almost thinking I should wait till I'm more clear headed to post the last two.)

Updated by anonymous

I'll go have a look at them, see if anything's missing.

Updated by anonymous

Oh wow, thanks!
(I also ended up posting the last two, so nvm about the previous side thought)

Updated by anonymous

Whelp, I didn't see those in time before moving on. Right then, spruced those up a bit too.

You hadn't actually missed many vital tags on all those posts, anyway, so pat on the back for that.

Many people have listened to me already. It's the memes, Jack, the DNA of the soul.

There goes another thread

Not my fault there's so many insufferable and unpleasant people here who are simply wrong just about all the time.

If people around here would learn to be nice to me, it wouldn't happen.

For the sake of our new users here, I'd like to point out that Ozelot is a performance artist who has dedicated their life to portraying exactly the type of artist you shouldn't be. The public is allowed to participate in this spectacle - in fact, your contributions enhance its value.

With that in mind, please be appreciative of Ozelot's craft.

"The type of artist you shouldn't be" - according to non-artist E621 user.

"according to non-artist E621 user." - according to a failed "artist" that begs people for donations

Because any time an artist asks for money it's "begging" according to your typical E621 user. They expect them to all make art for free, always.

To the OP: If you do post art here and don't take it down, expect the kind of treatment I just got from the last three users. Mutisja, Notty Curls, and Wabe Girl.

Yes, they all act like this, even the admins.

No, you just beg. People don't donate to crappy art, that's reality. By the way, how did that go for you? You must be a millionaire by now right?

I don't beg, I just allow donations based on what people want to give me. I've gotten a number of donations and people wanting to commission me, because my art isn't crappy, unlike whatever you could probably make.

I think people like you just get really upset when they see someone making money online doing something that isn't really "work."

You're like those people described in that one Dire Straits song. Angry and upset because other people have talent and creativity in their line of work.
