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

Ngl it's been a week since the 2.0 release and I'm disappointed to see there still hasn't been a single CLEAR improvement in sight. Idk if the team is still as small as it was before but like. I have to sadly agree with some criticism I've seen on the main page. It's sad to see that a new version of the website was pushed out when it clearly isn't functional, and I'm wondering why the staff decided to revamp it into looking like a mashup of other social media websites like FB and Twt. Reactions?? Rlly?? Why am I still not able to upload a banner and why did it make an independent post the one time it seemed to work? Why did it delete the banner when I tried to hide my post from my timeline??? Why is there a 'followers' tab before my gallery (that's not even called gallery) and why do I have to click a button to see past 6 previews of the most recently posted art? Is this not a website dedicated to art and creative stuff? Why does it not show my gallery proper? Is the activity so damn low on the website rn that it keeps looping to the same things I've been seeing for the past 7 days? Or have people been posting and I don't see anything? And why is it that some users seem to be fine with uploading stuff and others aren't? Maybe I'm just ignorant about the current situation or what the staff is up to but I would've sincerely preferred to wait longer than to face the excitement of a new version, only to immediately eat disappointment. I've always loved the initiative they had in creating a safe space for artists given how most platforms are going to sh!t, but idk man. In any case, I'm going back to my corner on twt, IG and bsky lol. I shall be waiting for news but will stop checking every 2 days if I can upload a banner or simple image 😂

Yet again, more works using the Rejected Palettes. I really had fun with these a lot! :-] https://sites.google.com/view/rejected-palettes 🔥 Sunfire (Earth-4476): "fire" by crooked_code ⚡ Kobold (Earth-2510): "AAA GREEN" by GSH Dragon #RejectedPalettes #Marvel #MarvelFanonverse #2heoBH6AU #Earth2510AU

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.

Collection of colour palettes I made. Originally posted it last year in bsky, masto & artfol. Thought it would be nice to post the collection here too, since Inkblot is making a comeback. :-) #2heoPaletteCollection #PaletteChallenge

Bruh I just came back cuz of the 2.0 thing and the new site is so weird Why can't I change my username? What are these invitations? Is inkblot invite only now like toyhouse? Why is the recent updates on my profile not chronological? I'm so confused

Collection of works I've done using colour palettes from Rejected Palettes! Highly recommend checking the site out if you wanted to find something to kick yourself out of artist's block. :-) https://sites.google.com/view/rejected-palettes 💧: "STICKMANHK-9B" by Sarah Shaffer 🏞️: "smoothie shop 8" by clown 🎵: "Strawberry Mint 8" by Particle Or Wave. 🕸️: "Sunny" by Chu Quak. #RejectedPalettes

It's nice to see that Inkblot 2.0 finally launched, but MAN, is it as buggy as ever! What's crazy is that my timeline doesn't display my posts in the correct order, which should be from my latest drawing (according to version 1.whatever it was) to my oldest drawing! Why it's not doing that, I'm not sure. I also cannot reupload my old banner as it doesn't tell me why it can't be uploaded. It just says that something went wrong, and nothing else! I know that Inkblot 2.0 just launched so I'm willing to give it time before I start uploading my backlog of artwork since the last one I posted on here due to the upgrade. Once the sorting order is figured out, then I'll continue to upload here. Otherwise, I might just say "forget it" and just stick to DeviantArt, Bluesky, and Itaku. I may consider Fur Affinity as another potential place to post my artwork, but we'll have to wait and see how things play out first.

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. - Rune 🐇 EDIT: WHY IS THE WEBSITE CARD LINK SO BIG!???

Cleared my entire upload history because otherwise there would be a 2+ year jump in between old and new art. I can see stuff again on here (wasn't able to for a really long time) The website being back (in its new version) was pretty sudden, and I'll have to take time to figure everything out now that it's all new, but I hope that this time it'll be usable 🙏 I've been active on bsky the most, and I'm not planning on re-posting anything here, but the profile is linked in my bio (hopefully we get that option for social links soon!). I also got rid of the second account that I had on here for doodles as I have stopped posting those on single-gallery websites (i.e., without a "scraps" gallery). It looks like the "blogs" page isn't working (yet?) so I'm just putting this in a regular post for now. [edit] I hope there will be a chronological feed and not just "popular" and "suggested" posts. Right now that's all I'm seeing on the front page 😳 [edit 2] I think the lack of a chronological feed might be because I'm not following anyone (yet), but I don't really feel tempted to follow anyone when the only accessible posts are the same few "popular" ones 🤔 I've also noticed a bug in the mobile version of the website (I did send a bug report) that makes it unusable (it keeps forcing me to the previous page seemingly randomly), so I'll only be using it on desktop for now.
