Nineteen Eighty-Four
Added 2018-12-04 20:05:59 +0000 UTCGuys... Tumblr will close its doors for NSFW blogs I think at least that's their plan from the 17th. This truly makes me kind of sad. I remember my first posts. I was on deadground and most of the time still am. Tumblr gave me the opportunity to rise back up. I was couch surfing most of the time. Most of my earlier arts I literally uploaded it awkwardly at public places with free Wi-Fi. There I was with my old laptop, malls, library, KFC, MacDonalds where some of the places where my animations got aired for the world to enjoy. I am not saying this to make you feel sorry for me.. Heck no.. I actually am happy all of it happend. That made us find each other. That I am grateful for.
I animate 16 to 19 hours a day every single day. I stopped posting on tumblr because I wanted to reshape my projects. I wanted to create projects of my own style, just like the other great artist I wanna have a voice of my own too. Loops I loved to do but my silence was because I was working on delivering at least animations of 1 to 2 minutes each week. Authentic/parodic Animations with story if possible. The first test was "Hello world" the following that are coming are parodies with weekly structures after the next first release. Tumblr made it possible for me to survive on commissions so that I had the chance to make our projects. My plan was to gain more by delivering my greatest, so I don't have to focus on commissions as survival. I really want to reach the max level of hentai for you guys. My first animation I made this year and it is far way better now. I push my self to be better everyday. I really love our community, I love hentai as much. I have been let down a lot in life, this is the only thing that choose me.
But now I am a little worried... Where do we go now. I will lose all my followers I fought for on tumble some of my followers will move over to the new place but still. My own website is on its way to air. But that will not be the same as what I had with my blog. Tumblr talks happy as if it's a good thing what they do. Community guidelines? Like first they put us in a corner by labeling our blogs NSFW. The outside world can not reach so easy on NSFW pages. Now they decide to breakup with us. Like where does this end. Why am I not allowed to express myself by sharing my art to cast a spark of joy into those who matter.
It's almost 2019 guys. Freedom to me is as much as an illusion as the animations I create. The only difference is that my art is Imaginary. Maybe I will start my new blog at Google. If you have thoughts or any place as suggestion for me. Please feel free to share it with me. See you soon guys. Have a nice day and thank you so much for your support it means the universe to me <3

Hey Tuume, yes this was a slap in the face of tumblr but when old doors close new ones open. I feel you, I learned a lot from tumblr and I am happy I had the opportunity to meet like minded people who were looking forward to create and develop works to enrich our community. I have made a Newgrounds account and will be active there too. But I needed to grind out this project first because it was a bit complex lol. Cumblr sounds really interesting and I am looking forward to see into what flower this seed will grow. Thank you so much for your support! <3
2018-12-16 18:14:07 +0000 UTCYeah, it sucks. I never had a Tumblr myself, but I loved to browse and explore the site. It opened a whole bunch of new worlds to me. New thoughts, new philosophies, tons of art, and exposure to people. It got annoying when the nsfw block got put into place, but it wasn't a total loss. With this, it's sad, but Twitter and Newgrounds still offer the good stuff. You may want to try opening a Newgrounds account. A lot of artists are migrating there. Also, look up cumblr.com, a new site dedicated to the naughty stuff Tumblr won't allow.

2018-12-09 01:09:44 +0000 UTCHey Lozo thank you man! I decided to be on twitter and maybe also on one of the porn streaming sites, just need to check what platform will be the best for these works. I will also have my website running soon and will connect it with my Patreon. I must get used to twitter but I believe it is manageable. Thank you for your input and your support <3
2018-12-06 07:32:03 +0000 UTCYeah expanding yourself will help a ton when it comes to reaching out for more of a audience, especially with Tumblr's continually attentive audience now looking for new places. Pixiv would be something I personally see working if a little tricky due to it's Japanese tags and to my knowledge no social interaction outside of post comments. But you can simply copy and paste related art tags to yours to make sure it gets put along side other related works. Sadly for Original characters that's gonna be a lot tricker. Newgrounds to my knowledge is good but i'm not sure how good it is. Great for flash animations like the ones you usually do but for other things it's unknown to me. Twitter is decent, majority of tumblr artists are moving there. The sad part is that it doesn't have much in personal presentation but doesn't have much issue with tagging NSFW works. Then again outside of tumblr most sites don't. Simply post and tag without worrying about not being easily visible for others to see, where Tumblr made you jump through a ton more hoops and even then they make things still difficult.

2018-12-06 00:17:44 +0000 UTCYes I feel you I experienced the same. I really met a lot of awesome people on tumblr, it was alive and a great place to get exposure. I think maybe I will try a few other platforms, this totally f'd up my plans a little. It was the perfect place for me to experiment to get an understanding of what I wanted to give back. But I had the chance to do so and have enough to work with. Thank you so much man I can't wait to blast the new projects and see what it does. Thank you for helping out! I truly appreciate it. I am going check Pixiv, Newgrounds and be active on twitter. Maybe its time to expose myself more.
2018-12-05 02:31:55 +0000 UTCHey buddy, this whole Tumblr thing is so messed up, I loved Tumblr when I first joined it was easy and straight forward but this new direction for it is bullshit. As for other sites people seem to be going to newgrounds and Twitter, I personally hate Twitter but still use it and as for newgrounds, i have been a member for years but never really go there so can't say how well it works. Hope it all works out for you buddy, I am really looking forward to your future work and want it to reach as many likeminded people it can.
