• Oh god... What even happened here? We went from an art site to a facebook clone?

    All my artwork is out of order, my page doesn't even feel like an art site gallery, the front page is just another scrolling timeline where everything is massive and built with only mobile users in mind... I have to scroll endlessly to see any new artwork, hidden among people's status posts...

    No way to browse just artwork outside of tags. No way to see a tile of recently uploaded artwork. At least as far as I can tell. Clicking on trending tags brings me to yet another timeline scroll, which isn't even centered on desktop. It's aligned to the left with a lot of dead space on the right that is just... empty.

    Yeah no. This website is not for me. This isn't an art site. ("Photos" instead of "Gallery"???) It's yet another generic social media clone. Sorry, but that's not what I'm interested in. I don't know why there's such a push for every new site having a mobile-centric UI, even on desktop, designed to keep you scrolling forever on your phone. It is *so clunky* to use on desktop. It's so easy to miss new art uploads, because you can't view thumbnails on a grid. Discoverability becomes tied to how often people share your pieces around.

    I'm just tired, man. Maybe I'm just getting old and exhausted from trying out so many new "art sites". The way artwork is displayed and discovered is one of the most important things to me. I want to be able to open the front page, and see a grid of new artwork, where I can select multiple tabs to open and browse at my leisure. I want my profile to have my art be the focus. I don't need everything to try to function like bluesky or twitter, and if this is the direction inkblot is going to go, then well... I don't think I'll be giving it another chance.

    So if anyone who happened to follow me here (I can see my follower count got wiped anyway) wants to see what sort of art I'm doing now, please check out any of my other social links here:

    https://runicillusionist.carrd.co/

    I hope for those of you who do intend on staying that this site serves your needs better than mine. But for me, I'm out.

    EDIT: WHY IS THE WEBSITE CARD LINK SO BIG!???

  • This is a redraw of the female Cryolophosaurus that I drew back in 2016, not counting the easter artwork from 2022. I just feel like drawing her again recently. And maybe over time, I'll redraw dinosaurs I've drawn over the years.

    I gave her a lot more details, especially the crest on top of her head. I even darkened her skin a little bit. Doesn't she look gorgeous?

    Facts about Cryolophosaurus

    She was first discovered and named back in the 1990s, the first dinosaur to be discovered in Antarctica, and was the largest carnivore of her time.

    Her name means "Frozen Crested Lizard."

    She's known for the large crest on her head which is compared to Elvis Presley's pompadour. For that, the dinosaur is nicknamed Elvisaurus.

    The crest is probably used by males to attract females or to appear intimidating and scare off other creatures.

  • Look inside of me and see that I am not afraid
    To walk inside the void like a kid inside a cave
    Discovering the patterns of my soul and where it's placed
    I've been mapping many caverns but it still feels like a maze
    I know I'm made of clay that's worn
    Blighted by imperfect form
    But I will trust the artist molding me
    I am creation, both haunted and holy ♪
    (creature - half-alive)

    This is from 2021, and is the piece that comes before this year's Malroth day piece! :)

  • Roughly a month ago i discovered Big PAPA's youtube channel, i was inspired of how he handled the life of a single father.
    I tried to imagine what i could do if i was in his position and i can't help but think that i wouldn't be able to step up to the responsibility.


    They say it makes you stronger having someone to protect in life.

    please check out his youtube channel at:

  • The buffalo dragon: a mainstay in the American wild west. Upon discovery of this majestic creature, buffalo wing enthusiasts were filled with ambitions of rebranding their dish as buffalo dragon wings... until they realized that the buffalo dragon still does not have wings. To this day, the buffalo wing remains plagued by sharing a name solely with animals without wings.
    Truly a remarkable creature.

  • When I was a wee lass I was heavy into dinosaurs and soon discovered dragons. So I thought to make a dragon man, not knowing that D&D existed, not knowing that 'dragon people' was already a thing. This is an updated, redesign of Dartac from how I first imagined him but he's an old OC of mine from 20+ years ago and has become one of my most beloved comfort characters. He's not evil at all, just a drowsy dad, retired from the Wiley adventures we went on for so many years. You're such a good friend to me.
