If you mean to draw, the story hasn't changed a bit (even though I have drawn some things in the past), because plenty of people use tumblr as sort of a "dump for things that aren't really presentable anywhere else, or nsfw stuff".

furaffinity allows NSFW art, and scraps is where you put things that don't belong in your gallery
as for non-furries, there's pixiv, and I'm sure there are more besides that

And not all blogs are labeled as of yet; the "nsfw" tag has plenty of gay research, some straight too. Plus, adult blogs will show up in searches if you follow them.

I'm not following either of them
but I'm not sure how popular they are, because apparently they don't have a follower count anywhere on their profiles

then use a computer
it's not a big deal

also, we're just talking about research. it would be much more efficient to use a site designed for art to find new research artists

Tried some weird perspective stuff. I think I this looks a bit off

^ I feel like she'd be a little more comfortable laying on a bed of some sort, rather than floating in white space.

Jokes aside, it looks nice.

It's incredibly bothersome to have to use multiple sources to track your favorite artists, and it's easier said than done to simply switch to another source that a lot of artists probably don't frequent. That's like telling someone to quit using these forums because there are other forums with less starfishs.

um no
it's like telling someone to switch to a better-designed forum with more people because the one they're using has rules that they don't like and they keep complaining about it

[Kingdaro]

To be fair, it's not too much of an issue for me, since I usually go to e6 or gelbooru if I want to look at massive waves of research, but it still kind of sucks that I can't find good artists through the social medium that I use pretty much more than any other service that exists, and it sucks for artists that people are going to have a bit of trouble getting it's content known to users.

Tumblr is just nice, I guess.

And when I think about it, the problem sort of solves itself. I recall a number of artists making posts that they're converting their blogs to SFW blogs, then they'll (I assume) have links to their NSFW blogs in their description. Hopefully they'll actually be able to "save" their current blog from being marked as adult, but it's relatively easy to make another if that's not the case.

to find artists, what I do is search something really general on e621
like "gay," which is usually what I'll start off with
after an hour, I'll have several tabs open of just different artists' tags
from there I just look around in the images of theirs on the site for one that has a source; if it's a link to furaffinity, most likely it'll be on the artist's account. after that it's easy, I just have to watch that artist and he or she is forever on a list that I can check any time I want to. if they don't use furaffinity, I don't even bother, because I don't want to have accounts on a buncha sites I don't use ever. one less artist in that list is inconsequential

I could even make the process faster by browsing FA directly, if I don't want research specifically (although I could still use FA for that, it's just less convenient)

but I don't actually see where it says that adult blog posts wont show up in tag searches. show me?

This can be my process sometimes if I happen to go to e6, replacing FA with tumblr of course.

Especially this part.

I didn't either, but I looked up the "slugboxart" tag that was given as an example on Shadow's post, and there should be way, waaaaay more than just two posts there.

I don't recall ever seeing tumblr as a source for something on e621

[Kingdaro]

Not literally; I just search the artist's name on google to see if they have a tumblr. I almost never look at the source, haha.

[Night Fox]

how often do you have to not bother?

[Kingdaro]

A little less than 50% of the time.

[Night Fox]

I don't have the motivation to do that really
like
on e6 it's just links

typing usernames is hard man

typing usernames is hard man

I know, right!?

edit: actually nvm I'm sorry
