As some of you know, I keep a dedicated sketch/wip tumblr at Spiramirabilis at tumblr. But because Weasyl has the lovely ability to separate work into collections, I have been thinking of cross-posting sketches/other not necessarily anthro related work here.
Is that something any of you would like to see? Or would you be annoyed seeing it in two different places? I think tumblr is still the place I will post wip's of new pieces since it is just so easy and quick to upload them there ^_^!
Thanks in advance guys!
I would support the uploading of both here on Weasyl as well as on Tumblr. I don't have a Tumblr account, so people like myself may be "missing out" as it were. :)
That is mainly why I ask. I cross-post the same stuff from Tumblr to facebook (ie I guess give people an incentive to bother with following diff accounts) but at the same time I figure some people don't use either and they are left out :/.
The work from your perspective of posting to multiple sites the same material over and over again is, admittedly, something I would feel daunted with. But rest assured, the work (both art and posting) is appreciated from the likes of me! I'm one of those difficult types who have insulated themselves from places such as Facebook.
With the evolution of Weasyl into a mainstream site, and the improvements which will undoubtedly continue to trickle into play here, might make the cross-posting task easier in the future. Perhaps we can entice more applications like the importer for FA<->Weasyl to be developed.
and wise you are to keep Facebook at bay, I dislike it thoroughly but you play the game to gain visibility and I know there are a lot of folks that do like it/prefer it so might as well be considerate of them. (But personally if I could do without, I would be the happier for it!) .
That aside, just glad to see Weasyl go mainstream. I love the platform and a great many of the features it has implemented. I was sad to see it grind to a halt in activity a while ago, hopefully this time it has the momentum needed to make itself a permanent gallery site!
I can never complain about more Balaa art...especially WIP's and concept art. They're fascinating and equally as beautiful as the final pieces! Alot of us here consider sketch work beautiful art cough cough ;3
I like tumblr for certain purposes, and I also follow you there, but I still prefer to see art on art sites, including WIPs and sketches :) - to me tumblr is meant for content to be added to already existing content by reblogging. I think feedback and comments, favourites etc. are better available, and easier to overlook for the artist on art sites.

Personally, I would adore seeing more roughs and sketches of your work on here! I always love to see all facets of an artist's work.
