Soooo...different usernames? by GemCandy

I currently have 5 places where I post my drawings.
Deviantart, Fur Affinity, Weasyl, Tumblr and Instagram.
Only on Fur Affinity and here is where my account name is SugarGems.
I like my other username, which is GemCandy (gemscandy on insta, close enough), so much more, so...I am gonna tag my drawings with my other username, I also like posting on Instagram way more, so...please follow me on there too? @GemsCandy

    Don't know if charmander can do a name change or not. he's the only person on Staff I know check in at the moment on this site. He's a dev, though, and I don't know if Devs can do name changes. Moderators could, but the ones we had just stepped down a month ago.

    (Sadly, FA doesn't have name change. You'd have to move to a new account on FA. Looks like "GemCandy" isn't taken on FA)

      It would be cool if name changes could be a thing, I don't want to make a new account on here nor on FA, because of the fact that all my old drawings are on FA and it's a cool trip down memory lane. I dunno what to do yet...maybe I just stop posting on FA and here, because my art isn't really 'furry' related nor is it 18+ stuff, so I barely get any traffic anyway when I post to begin with, but for now, I just continue posting with my instagram handle in it.

        Like I said, Weasyl there is actual name changes. You just gotta talk to an admin about it. FA, though, they're never going to get name changes. That'd be the only place you'd have to move if you ever wanted a different username. If you cna't change your FA, then yeah, do use the handle you are most known as as your signature.

        On "Furry Related" FA does allow furry artwork, and there is Human-related communities over there. I'm a pretty human/oid artist myself. I think my more favored art on FA is the human characters I draw anyways. When it comes to online communities, what you get out of it is what you put into it, so if you'd like more human-central audience, keep posting up the content you like to draw. (http://www.furaffinity.net/user/humanartistsoffa also, check out this place to share human art/commissions/find artists). There's also a pretty large SFW community as well. I can vouch, 90% of my content is sfw, the other is usually gore, while FA is made of about 75% sfw posts believe it or not.

        Its just harder to get seen because the keywords searches aren't as easy to find. People know what they are looking for when they want to see vore, or pokemon. They just type it in. But for sfw art non-fanart related you gotta work with vague tags like human dog male female pink purple and hope people look for "male human" or similar searches. It's harder for people to find art that doesn't have a very specific theme like fanart and fetishes.

      Hello~!
      I decided on updating you as well on this, I finally remembered that this was a thing that I wanted to do, so yesterday, I've send Charmander a private message and he was able to change my name on here!
      On FA, I just made a new account with the same username and I linked my old one to my new one instead and I also linked my new one to my old one as well, again, thank you for your help as well, thanks to you, I knew who to go too ^^
