I'm giving up on Inkblot. I'm disappointed. This was a really interesting project, and I was excited to support it. With DeviantART an AI wasteland, I was eager to find another gallery site that supported NSFW content, and IB fit that bill perfectly. But lately it's just been constant delays and weeks on end with no movement or updates from the team, and my patience has run dry. I've left the Discord server and cancelled my Substack subscription. This account will remain, though, in the off chance that things turn around and this place prospers once again. And truly, I hope it does. I have no quarrel with Jay or the IB team and I truly do hope they work to become more active and make this place what it was meant to be. But, in the meantime, I feel my time is best spent supporting other projects. If you'd like to follow me elsewhere, my Carrd is listed on my profile. Otherwise, I wish everyone the best.

So uhhh...not feeling this new site design. Was kind of hoping for an old deviant art vibe when I joined this. Now it just kinda feels like every other social media site I could put art on, instead of y'know, a site for art. Also none of my posts transferred cleanly and I don't really feel like fixing them when the site is clearly not finished. Might just break them all again;;; Sucks because I was really hoping for a new spot that could do this better than tumblr. But I think I won't be posting on here until this site gets itself sorted out. I will probably check back in every so often to see if it decides on something I want to post art on again. If you liked any of my work, I'll be done with my masters soon so I will probably be posting more art there once summer rolls around. It's https://zorritocruzado.tumblr.com/

I see that my old posts from 1.x are out of order. Well, that's annoying... guess it's time to do a mass repost? Except I'm not actually gonna post images one by one, but rather, I'll post collages instead.

(warning bright colors) This was a ref sheet but I added a background and "some" lighting lol enjoy! #ocs #rejectisland #refsheets

After a successful mission, mecha pilots Musa Tritech and Menthe Macaron share a little victory kiss. My other Valentine's Day picture for this year! Hope you guys enjoy! We could use a little more lesbian mecha pilots, heh. (Especially if they're rabbits) #oc #ocart #furry #furryart #valentinesday

"He can't help but feel it, can't help but get hurt, can't help but feel this wonderful thing that consumes him. He can't help but fall in love with you." 🫀🫀🫀 This is my entry for the pikollab of February 14th! I hope you like it, and don't forget to check out the other artists' beautiful illustrations!! *⁠･° -------> ALT description: A drawing of Piko Utatane (Vocaloid 2) for Pikollab's February 14th Collab. The drawing shows Piko hunched over, barely holding flowers that keep sprouting from his mouth, the petals fly through space; he looks at the camera/viewer with resigned surprise. The background is shaded in black and white with the kanji for Hanahaki behind him. Illuminating his embarrassed face is a juxtaposed star with brighter, more cheerful colors. Despite his suffering, Piko can't help but find love wonderful. #Vocaloid #PikoUtatane #ValentineDay #Pikollab

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 😂

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.
