#introductions part 2
Here are some examples of my latest #illustrations
Just in case...
I love and illustrate #80s, #horror, #SF #retroSF, #action and #medieval stuff (my guilty pleasure)
in my own retro #comicstyles.
Will be offering commissions again by the end of June, up to then already plate full. You're awesome.
How did I not know about M a s t o 9 5
#introductions Hello world! Do you like cute lil' robots? I sure do!
What would you say to trying out my fresh new Discord server, looking around and letting me know what and how to improve?
I feel like dead today (still sick) and haven't make a single brushstroke :( But let's not waste time! ^^ This is an early one day link for start! https://discord.gg/w3Etby

The prince smiled as the flying carpet floated down to the palace balcony.
"Do your highness like it?" the carpet vendor asked.
"I love it! How many can you sell?"
"How man- How could you use more than one?"
"I want all people like me, who struggle to walk, to have one!"

At the end of the day federated social software is only kinda good at content consumption and does almost nothing for content production and people like using computers more to make things than they do consuming of things
feel like we should really have a focus on making things and again and making that as seamless and easy as possible
Another pack of characters for the #characters_999 ! :) Meet the Wizard-Frogg squad ! :p

Old but still gold... I have some difficulties atm to get back to drawing. It's not drawing in itself, but I'm rather learning/studying more anatomy, perspective and other fundamentals instead of producing fresh finished pieces.
Is this a problem... yes.
Will this result in better pics in the future...also YES.

Damn! I want to quote sources for what I said about IG, but the obscure blogs I had for this are gone or I can't retrieve them quickly. I'm sorry that I cannot back up quickly on this point. So again, you don't have to believe me and IG could have overhauled that three times in the meantime.
Just...be cautious out there.
Ah, and if you need arguments, why #deleteinstagram is a good idea, just google tipps for getting more followers there. What a cynical mess!
Things instagram does:
4) Forgets your post after 15 minutes.
Disclaimer: IG never disclosed, how their/FB's algorithms exactly work. They can apply changes to them anytime.
But this is the true core lifespan of your content on IG. This is the time the algorithm needs to decide whether your post is "relevant" and to be shown on more explore-pages of non-followers...or not. And it's based only on how many likes and comments the post gets within 15 minutes. Nothing else.
Things instagram does:
3) Randomly unfollows people you follow on your behalf. You are not informed about this. So double check whether your friends really are on hiatus or whether you just stopped following them!
I can only assume it's a punishment for inactive users. Rather spammy accounts seem to be spared, only curbing the toxic bot environment.
Things instagram does:
2) Shadowban you for being mistaken for a bot.
If you like too fast or leave multiple short comments too fast, you are at danger.
If you re-use the same hashtag, such as "digitalart" or even "instaart" too often in consecutive posts within a short time period, you are at danger. In this specific case you might get a shadowban for 2 weeks.
And as usual- no notifications, no information.
Things instagram does:
1) Shadowban you for the use of blacklisted hashtags. The blacklist is a secret and changes regularly. You can only guess.
A shadowban means, as punishment for your bad behavior your posts are not shown to people who are not already followers. And you get no notification about it at all. Not that you are banned, not why and not for how long.
It could be a ridiculous hashtag such as "ink" if too many porn-bot-accounts have used it before.
