When I joined weasyl, it was mostly because of the schism that had occurred on FurAffinity. The split in the fandom was simply becoming too great to ignore.
However, I now have this problem that is keeping me from uploading more of my commissioned art here. It turns out that most of the artists i have commissioned in the past do not also have weasyl accounts, which means that I cannot crosspost them. I mean, I could, but I don't think it would be respectful to the people who left to keep referring back to that place.
So, until I can get more commissions by Weasyl artists, my gallery is going to be kind of barren compared to my FA one. This is also probably going to last for quite a while; I've been burned by so many furry artists that I am more or less completely turned off to commissions for the foreseeable future.
I will keep poking around Weasyl of course, but it's probably not going to look like I'm very active here.

Go down to the icon/name referencing users section, you can refer to users from FA as well as deviantart and inkbunny.

Hmmm, intriguing. This isn't really something I've considered. I mean, I don't think anyone who switched to Weasyl thinks that FA no longer exists... It has cross linking built into the markup language here after all. xD
Lots of artist who do have Weasyl still maintain FA too so I'm not sure. It just seems like you're going too far out of your way. The administration of FA was the problem, not the artists who reside there. Mmh, well the majority of them I guess.
