#introduction So here we go again! This is yet another replication of myself in the fediverse. I want to use this account to connect to other artists and post my artsy stuff. I've acquired a taste for different styles and techniques: I love #urbansketching with #watercolors and #ink and like #characterstudies. So here are some of my more #sketchy pieces!
Motto this week will be: DO NOT BLEND.
Obviously, this only applies for acrylics. Not so much for makeup.
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.

The strangeness lies in the detail.
👀
I am a strange person and I am not ashamed of it.
So I got serious about doing art.
Then I painted evil saints.
Then I painted naked saints.
Now I've bought gold golor to paint the nimbus of the naked, evil saints more beautifully. ✨
All that while being sick. Ah well.
Took lewd photos. Will paint selfportraits from them.
This is strange.
This is the Hubble extreme deep field. With the exception of (from what I can find) 3 foreground stars, every object you see in this picture is a galaxy. Can you find the foreground stars? Know the trick?

I close my eyes and seize it
I clench my fist and beat it
I light my torch and burn it
I am the Beast I worship
Last week I was in St Ives in Cornwall and took the chance to do some landscapey things! Lots of attempts to paint the sea because the colours there are fantastic. also featuring some Actual Seaweed and Sand.
I've been doing some more ink and fountain pen stuff lately and having a lot of fun with it!
