Trying to Return to Weasyl by RainbowFoxy

I have had a real hard time managing all the art sites I am on; I lose track and forget to update some, and then eventually end up falling way way behind with uploads and having to mass upload stuff onto here. I guess one of the reasons I fell behind on uploading onto here was because I had a much smaller watcher base comparative to other sites, and the interaction was to a lesser degree than some other sites I use and manage.

I will be trying to come back to weasyl; I want to bring my gallery up to date and try to upload some nice work onto here more often. I hope to build up a bigger watcher base onto here and make a good impression!

My commissions are also currently semi open and I am on my spring break, so I have found myself with a bit more free time. As a little update, I was accepted into my choice art school along the west coast, and will be starting there in fall! So I really want to push myself to try new things and improve my art, so here's to hoping that goes well!

How has everyone been? :)

    I hear you on keeping up being really hard. I've got a huge backlog of stuff to upload, myself. x-x

      Right? x-x I am even having to skip over the 'less impressive' stuff so I don't dump out 28374928374 doodles and things. But I really do want to be up to date and stuff!

        Hah! Same here. My semester abroad has been fantastic for productivity, but not so fantastic for actually....uploading it. Beautiful Italy may be, it's not exactly famed for its internet speed.

          oooh that does indeed sound beautiful. But i can understand how the tray impede on posting.

    Welcome back to Weasyl in this case. I'm not a very vocal watcher, but i'm still here o: I refuse to use FA again, and only have InkBunny and DeviantArt to keep track of, myself. So it'll be nice to see you uploading things here again.

      I've heard people upset with FA again over the whole IMVU crap. Its got me pissy, too, but I've got a big watcher base on there so I have mixed feelings. :/

      • Link

        My reasoning is far prior to FA being bought by IMVU, although that turned my stomach all the same when i heard about it.

        I completely understand the mixed feelings, especially if you've got a good sized following over there, but there are ways in which you can try and 'shepard' your watchers from FA elsewhere.
        If you're interested, this journal's got a few tips and ideas how to make a switch, or even just to increase traffic here.

    Welcome back! We may be small but the only way to grow is to use it and tell others.

    • Link

      also very true! I'll try to use Weasyl more often!

  • Link

    No reason not to use whatever sites work for you, maybe even crossposting a bit. Good to hear from you again. :D

  • Link

    Hopefully stuff can pick up a bit again..maybe then it would be easier to keep up with :c

  • Link

    welcome back :)

    it's pretty ironic, i was slowly posting stuff back to FA and getting comfortable there again, and then the site went down... oh FA, lol

  • Link

    I have exactly the same problem. Weasyl is interesting but there are fewer people and fewer interactions. I'm too busy to keep up-to-date more then one gallery so my Weasyl account is always so outdated ;-;
