the gathering

A random fish event is highly unlikely

but never impossible

the fish project is coming.

i will not elaborate further

Edit: another update: seems the staff quickly picked up no one wanted that type of content on the site & has banned it/made a statement

https://buzzly.art/news/clearing-the-air

however, the fact it did blow up this much & some staff did try to excuse it keeps me wary of using the site

Edit 3/17/22: holy shit I was right to stay away from the site after that. Took down all my art off that site & bc they didn't add a way to close your account I'm just going to delete/remove all links for now.

I'll also link this thread on TH as it's a pretty huge masterlist of what's going on/reciepts: https://toyhou.se/~forums/11.general-off-topic/282392.buzzly-has-a-big-yikes-update

A small update on my Buzzly account: unfortunately after recent news, I don't feel comfortable using the site and will be dropping it as an active place

for context: the site staff are ok with incest & nazi imagery in a romanticized content & have been doing mental gymnastics to excuse not banning it (comparing it to just gore art for example)

EDIT: Link to a thread with screenshots/more proof https://twitter.com/horseangst/status/1490524003903041537

I am disappointed. I've avoided "DA alternatives" because of bs like this at the past & I set aside my gripes to give this place a chance.

It's still a wait-and-see bc this just got out, but after this I'm going back to not trusting new platforms, especially "DA alternatives". Think of it this way, joining older sites like Newgrounds has been great & I don't regret it. Meanwhile every "New art site" like Artfol, Sheezy, and now Buzzly gets into shit/has a catch within less than a year of being out.

I originally planned on taking a 2-week art break, but I think I need to extend that & put all my projects & goals on hiatus for a bit

I haven't been feeling well, or motivated to do much lately

I haven't felt motivated to start or continue any ongoing goals or projects, I haven't been enjoying other hobbies as much as I used to either. And to top it off, the past week or so has been daily anxiety spikes & low points if you will.

Not in a good place to work

This isn't for pity, I'll be fine.

Things I'm working on are just going to be very slow (comic project, looking for zines specifically)

https://jade-everstone.neocities.org/!

long story short, I've been meaning to make a portfolio site of sorts for a while now (that wasn't a carrd). Mostly for more

professional use & to have another place away from big social medias to host my art

Even though I got basic stuff down, I still consider it a work in progress. This site's subject to receive updates and layout changes as I see fit, add content, etc. I also plan on keeping this just a portfolio site for now

was suposed to post this earlier this month but since this was partialy built for a class assignment there were a few things I needed to remove that were only there for the project's sake

Been a long time comming, but I've been working on a website so I can have a place/gallery away from reg. social media (and isn't a carrd). I still need to finish the CSS, upload stuff & make the pages look the way I want, but expect an ETA of early december

Made a post about this a few months ago so take this as an 'Official' announcement for this project

During this semester, I've been working on a comic project. It started as a summer project that was gonna be worked on inbetween classes, but I've managed to work it into my Graphic Novel class and It's been a fun time working on it so far.

The comic is "Jade and Iri Buy a PC" (working title)!

Summary: After a mishap with a school project, Jade and Iri find themselves in a rush to find a new computer. Things go wrong when Jade takes the cheapest option against her friends' advice... horribly wrong

I'm currently still in the drafting/scripting phase, and currently estimate the story to span 30-40 pages. With both work within class and afterwards I'm aiming to release it all at once before next semester hits

Reason I wanted to announce this is because I do want to start posting some content and WIPs relating to it across my main 3 accounts (Twitter, IG. DA). I am very excited I had the chance to get this project off the ground!

yeah ik it'll be back up eventually just take the meme-

Want to put it out there: I don't accept friend requests from complete strangers, especially if they continue to spam it after I declined, or are doing it for clout/numbers.

Idk if there's a way to turn Friend RQs off (or limit them)
