I'm Ixtera, and I'm an artist! My favorite things to draw include Pokémon and scenes from a TTRPG I play in.

 I'm best at bright colors, soft shapes, and character design.

that post about tumblr being better for artists than twitter on an engagement numbers level is crazy. why are we lying 

the ONLY thing tumblr can do is keep older art circulating longer, bc tumblr is better for artists in terms of archiving. but on a pure “flash in the pan engagement get your art noticed by as many people as possible fast, get you potential business out of it” level twitter is leagues better

like dont get it twisted im thankful for any and all engagement i get on art posts but as someone who makes part of my living from art, historically posting art on twitter has gotten me money and posting art on tumblr has gotten me people tagging 5 year old drawings with the names of their OCs

The only thing I need tumblr to do is to get like... cool with the idea you can hire people here to do commissions for you and to like.. consider monetary support for artists cuz one of the reasons and the biggest reason I moved to twitter in the first place is because people there buy my art. I make a living there doing art. And the vibe here is **we don't do that here** If you want artists to be here and do art you gotta be okay with the concept of artists trying to make money. I hate capitalism as much as the next person but I'm also 30 years old living with my fucking parents because I can't pay for a 1 bedroom apartment. Artists are not 'big business'. We're not Disney. We're just people trying to make a living or some money for groceries and shit.
