~ Scaly Savage ~

I need to become more responsible for the sake of my friends and those who I love.
I'm not in the best mental state, but I'm tired of hurting and disrespecting people by suddenly disappearing before them and distancing from them, especially close ones.

I don’t want it to be me anymore.

Awww <3

Every valley and bean of them 🐾

Spiky collars, they look badass and prick so cute… definitely~

I want to be a goo creature that will capture and hug every of you c:

It was dry red wine, then whiskey with cola. Tomorrow we’ll continue with friends with tequila and absinthe x3
Oh boy…

I’m drunk, you can ask me anything x3

33.

Jesus Christ…

This is simply magnificent <3

Hello, people of Earth! 👋
My name is Scaly, a liquid drone from outer space... 👾

Have you ever had periods when you had the energy for personal conversations in your native language, but not for conversations in a foreign one even if you know it well and use it freely?

I haven't decided yet in what form I will publish art there, but in any case I will do reminders about my Bluesky.

I thought about it, maybe I’ll use it.

(because I'm not the only one who sees your message to me)

I'm still on hiatus, but I'll be back to taking orders soon.
When I mention clients, I mean those who reach me the last time I took orders and those who DM me asking when I'll be available.

Addition to the previous post:

I'm not abandoning Bluesky and will use both platforms.

I like Bluesky more than X and I want it to grow more.

I hope that over time it will be easier for me to stop using X.

I'm glad you show that you care about my decisions and safety of my art.
It’s inspiring.

I will not leave Bluesky, I'll just post on both of them c:
Yes, I know about postybirb~

Yes, guidelines are truly terrible, but right now I find it difficult to risk to cut myself off from the audience there for protest purposes. Not in a place and legal system where I live now.

I don't want to risk doing that with my current fame because in fact I don't know how many of them will actually follow me whether I want to believe in the best outcome or not.

I'm not leaving and my activity here won't decrease. I like it here more.
But even after a year I still don't feel safe enough here to move all my eggs from there to here. And over the past four years I'm too tired of struggling with uncertainty and things I can't influence.

It worked during the mass migration here because people believed (including me) that Bluesky could grow much bigger. Next time it will work during the next mass migration.
For that we need to wait until the owners of X do something stupid that will frighten or anger everyone there again.

I wish I could feel safer here, but right now I don't feel safe anywhere on the internet where scraper bots can access.
Besides, it's hard for me to cope with the fact that most of my clients still contact me via Twitter.
In any case I'm not abandoning Bluesky. I like it here.

Yes, I know about this, but even here I can't do anything to protect my art from scraper bots and not feel safe. Alas, the legal system's inability to protect us from the ambitions of AI creators has cursed the entire internet, and there are no safe spaces here now. I hope it's not forever.

I won't quit Bluesky, I feel more comfortable here than on X despite its shortcomings. I'll just continue to use both platforms as I did before.

Bluesky currently relies on word-of-mouth engaging and I think it might be a much better fit for your social media management style.
To achieve the same reach on X you need to regularly perform rituals in honor of it's algorithms which is pain in ass, but clients still mostly reach me there.

I think I'll start posting on X again because Bluesky's audience is growing very slowly right now and the bulk of my clients are still on X.
To move here fully it's better to be much more popular than me or have something else as main job.

It's like going back to childhood

A bit of me 💖

These screenshots deeply offend me personally as well. These visuals looks like typical horror game from Steam Greenlight era.

I took the first real vacation (with no work and orders in progress) in a seven years and It's so weird and counterintuitive to know that now you don't need to draw something for someone.
The first week was very anxious, but now I feel light and calm.
