Fanart tumblr
So I generally don't do much fanart, but for the times that I do, I created a tumblr. It's at: http://potofsoup.tumblr.com .
Some anticipated questions:
Why tumblr? I thought you hated tumblr?
I do hate tumblr! I really don't like the fact that the method of "commenting" is reblogging, which then disperses all the comments across tumblr-verse. I don't like that reblogs can allow edits to the original post.
However, tumblr makes posting pictures ridiculously easy, especially getting images off mobile devices. Tumblr is also carries a lot of social momentum -- a lot of various fandoms are on tumblr, it makes sense to put fan images on tumblr.
But wait, you already have a sketchblog! What gives?
Well, since my sketchblog is linked from my website, which my students sometimes peruse, I didn't want to also have fanart on there.
Wait, does that mean I have to follow YET ANOTHER thing of yours?
Never fear, this is still my primary personal blog, so I'll update you here as necessary (although most times it'll probably be a "hey, I updated my tumblr").
There is also an rss feed for the tumblr if you want to add it to your syndicated feeds list or whatever.
Hey, I'm on tumblr! Follow me!
If you tell me your tumblr name, I might check your tumblr once in a while, but I have no intention of creating another f-list to follow. Oh sorry, I think it's called "Dashboard"??? As the internet blogs and stuff gets more diffused -- over wordpress, tumblr, LJ, DW, Facebook, websites, etc, I've reverted back to checking individual "blogs" and not just relying on a single aggregator.
