InkBlot doesn't seem to let you upload artwork (or, should I say, 'images'), huh. Hopefully it's just me.

Side Note in relation to a previous post before we start... Yes, I did manage to beat Contra! XD "Computer Maintenance" (Originally drawn Oct 9th, 2025) I wanted to make something silly, and I thought about how in some Kirby games he's seen holding wrenches or wearing a hard hat in options menus in some games, so I had Davy try to help out. ...The problem is... I don't think he knows much about computers, given that he pulled out a cartoonishly huge wrench... XD #art #artwork

*Busy trying to beat Contra after beating Super C for the first time last year* Me: ...Huh? What? Inkblot came back? When did that happen?! I guess this means this page has a lot of catching up to do! Hopefully I can get it up smoothly.

ORIGINAL TITLE: Ready for the battles ahead. EXTRA RENDERS, EARLY ACCESS, TIMELAPSE AND FULL RESOLUTION ON SUPPORT PAGES This thing. This stupid thing. It was a beast to make, an actual, terrifying nightmare. The background was a pain to do, the main pose was a pain to do, the 6 other characters were a pain to do, existing was a pain to do (still is), but I saw it through the end! This was a commission for the same discord friend as our latest uploaded! He wanted his human pokemon trainer Tag in a pose, ready to go, with all of his team surrounding him. When he said "I want 7 characters for this commission!" I felt the chillest cold that I've ever felt. Of course I said "You got it, boss!" and then spent the next 11 hours of work (Which of course were 90% on the shading) and finally getting it done! Done entirely in Krita with no 3D posing! Enjoy, ya weird salamanders! https://linktr.ee/battlestoriesfan #mewtwo #quaquaval #ironvaliant #ribombee #weavile #mawile #pokemontrainer #human #pokemon #nintendo #originalcharacter #oc #cartoony #stylized #commission #digitalart #art #artwork #sfw #gamefreak #anthro #anthropomorphic

Just wanted to say that you can find the full Creatures in Heaven music video that I did back in May 2025 up on my DeviantArt page! I'm under the same name over there, so if you're ever interested feel free to check it out. In fact I'll leave you all a link to it here: https://www.deviantart.com/indigonovaart/art/FMP-Creatures-in-Heaven-Animatic-Music-Video-1201065466

ORIGINAL TITLE: Breaking the Game. ALTERNATE RENDERS, TIMELAPSE AND FULL RESOLUTION EARLY IN SUPPORT PAGES! Hey! Been busy with some things IRL. Working on some commissions and trying to get my life on track after a long hiatus and a dark period of my life, like many that have been happening lately.... But now back to commissions! This one is for a discord friend of his character Break the Mewtwo, except now he's Sigma from Overwatch! I have never played Overwatch and have no idea if there's a canon reason for his character choice, maybe someone will know! This took way longer than It was supposed to...It took like 7 hours of work (but felt like an eternity). Done entirely in Krita with zero 3D posing! Enjoy, ya weird salamanders! https://linktr.ee/battlestoriesfan -art #mewtwo #fanart #fan #overwatch #nintendo #blizzard #pokemon #oc #originalcharacter #sfw #cartoony #stylized #sigma #humanoid #male #art #artwork #digitalart #illustration

sorry to ride the criticism train, but this site is really giving stock social media site with inkblot's name slapped on it, it's honestly creeping me out a little what bothers me mostly is how it doesn't at all feel focused on art anymore - you're encouraged to say "what's on your mind" with attachments as an afterthought. the wording of "photos" over "art"? reactions? (genuine question: do people like emoji reaction systems? they're fun on discord, but it feels... odd here (and to state the obvious, very facebook)) and why do profile galleries come after FOLLOWERS? what's the point of an art website where it feels that people's galleries are being hidden away? with all due respect, the redesign has a lot of things that just feel wrong about it

New Version Number who dis? I'm lowkey just waiting for *any* deviantArt-like: (Inkblot, Artfol, SheezyArt, Cara) to make artists STOP *ONLY* posting onto general-purpose, timeline-only sites. It's harder to go through and consume a lot of art on those. Not used to the Facebook-y UI of Inkblot 2.0, as… I've been a chronic and intentional Facebook avoider all my life, but we'll see.

I've been thinking about this for a bit, but many of the design choices that came with this 2.0 update are... baffling, to say the least? The site is actually usable now (it barely worked for me before), but it feels like another Facebook/Twitter clone, rather than an art site. I'll continue to observe how things develop but I'm not sure I'm convinced yet. I also wanted to test uploading art here but I quite literally can't, I get an error every time.

The more I think about it.... The less I like it, unfortunately. Even putting aside the weird mobile bug that I mentioned in my previous post, things just feel... Off. Kind of like this is a social media app template and not an art site anymore; like no actual work was done to go from the ideas of 1.0. There isn't even a way to browse art in a grid view, which is like... The one main thing I expect from an art-focused platform (if there is, I have not found it, and if I haven't found it... Then that's bad design). I was excited to see 2.0 being out finally, as someone for whom the site was pretty much unusable for the longest time, and also as someone who participated in the initial funding. I don't want to lost hope, and I know 2.0 was JUST released but... With no communication in the discord, or additional info in the email, it doesn't give me a good feeling. As of now, I don't think I'll try posting on here again. I'll keep an eye on things still, but from a distance.

was recently able to get my Tab A tablet repaired after 5-6 years. (kinda a bit rusty drawing on it now, though.) #HenryStickmin #gijinka #fanart #quickart
