((I posted about this on all my other sites I am on BUT this one so I'm gonna add it here too))

OK GUYS I did my artist search and find and post about on my actual tumblr: http://animasigillum.tumblr.com/
it's the first few posts on my page (you will know when it isn't me talking about an artist) I apologize for the few posts inbetween where I'm talking about cosplay plans or other stuff like that.

PLEASE go look at these artists: check out their patreons, twitters etc. all of it just do all of it: some of them need more recognition some are just really cool, and some make the cutest things. (I am not advertising but I am)

Sometimes supporting does not always mean you HAVE to pay money: yes I am a collector BUT I think it's just as important to share and talk to other artists too and see what people are making and doing, obviously I chose to buy stuff that appealed to me and then share it but it's really easy to branch off of the stuff I posted to find other things as well (or maybe you have the same tastes as me and you fucking love it too? I love it art makes me so excited.)

HONESTLY if I could I would have featured every artist in artist alley because THEY DESERVE IT but I have to be picky with what I select and do not select (both because money is a thing, and because I don't want to swamp my followers etc. with posts of 100things because then the likelihood someone will actually read all of it greatly decreases therefore the likelihood of an artist getting more followers or views decreases.

more here huhuhu not as important

I do have a biased post (wow such bad, no good of me)- but for real though she is one of my favorites I always try to buy something from her once a year, such is the life of a collector I apologize for it. I tried giving all these artists equal amount of post space/number of words etc. and tried to link as many things as I could but reality says there are a few that appear to be enigmas which happens. Some only have patreon (unfortunately because I know some just can't pay monthly etc.), some only have stores so what you get to see is limited to what is being sold
