MemberI never understood the tendency for people to use tumblr as their primary art page. People can't leave comments on the art there; perhaps they rely on e621 for that? :-p
That aside, I'm REALLY digging this series of pics... I guess she's a teacher?

BlockedWell, if you're looking for commissions, tumblr is pretty good at getting your work shared.

MemberIt can get your work spread at the speed of light and as people reblog the image they can add their comments.
But apart from ego stroking, which is taken care of by the reblogging, there is nothing to gain from comments so I don't see how that's a downside.

MemberThat's good to know! I haven't thought about it at first, but tumblr does make pics a bit more viral, doesn't it?
Well, I think comments are important for good suggestions and criticisms. Also, conversations about art pics are almost half of the fun! My motivation for viewing artwork is severely diminished if I can't do that, as would my motivation for making art.
But it's good to know you can add comments via reblogging; I didn't know that. Though I would like to be able to comment on a pic without reblogging, since reblogging shows the pic to all your friends, am I right? Which, if the art in question is furry porn, might not be a good idea for me, lol. I might suggest that artists on tumblr have their pics link to a "main" art page like DA or FA. This way, you get art spread by tumblr, but people can also visit the art page to discuss it.
I'm still in the early stages of trying out microblogging sites, so I hope I don't sound too uninformed :-p
