Hi everyone!

As I’ve managed to accumulate quite a pile of art here over the past year, I’m planning on redoing and improving the tagging system so that finding specific older posts would be easier.
For now I’ve tried to keep things very simplified to not overwhelm the tag catalogue, but I think some additions would be beneficial. And I want to hear from you, as well! What kind of search tags would be useful for you?


Another question I had in mind was, if I threw some effort into explaining and opening up some of my drawing process, is there something specific you’d be interested in hearing about? For example I’ve seen some interest in the type of shading I do.
It wouldn’t really be a tutorial since I don’t feel knowledgable enough on any actual technique or theory, but more like a process breakdown, explaining what goes through my head, what type of brushes I use etc., like the one I did on drawing hands earlier this year!

I also wanted to test the waters if there was any interest towards a discord server. I’ve been kinda hesitant towards it because A) I don’t have any discord server making or modding experience, and B) I’m not sure how far my introvert social energy batteries could carry me and I don’t want to be a let down in that regard! However, one major pro is that I could host patron-only NSFW art streams there, as I haven’t been able to figure out how else to manage that via other platforms, and I would really like to stream and hang out! Any thoughts on this are welcome.

Thank you in advance! 🙏✨

I'd join a discord if you made one!! You could get some people to help mod the server for you, there's plenty of people who have experience modding a server that I'm sure would be happy to help c:

I think tags as simple as “kink” or “vanilla” would be nice. I love basic pairing tags too!

Anonymous

I would absolutely love “tutorials” and to watch you stream. As lover of your art and as a baby artist being able to see your process and streams sounds like so much fun and a great learning experience!

I'd love a discord!!! I have minimal exp modding so if u gather some peeps who want to admin I'd be down. About the tags, for me, imagine something like characters included, plus kink, maybe date? Like by month. Erasermik, petplay Jan 2024 then anything fun you wanna say xD

Madleon

As an artist myself i would love to read about your process !!!

Seeing u work could be fun :3 do you use refs a lot? How do you plan expressions? Ever use 3D if you need backgrounds. Peeking into your brushes xddd

vintagehoneybees

Definitely yes on the discord that would be AWESOME. As for tags, the main ones I look for are a tier specific tag that is EXCLUSIVELY that tiers art (I don't wanna see EVERY piece I have access to sometimes), Fandom, and if it's NSFW the main kink displayed. Luckily you already have most of these :)

StuckInAPit

Oh that’s a good idea! Of course it’d always have some personal bias on what I consider vanilla vs. Kink, but I think there’ a universal enough baseline for it to still be useful.

StuckInAPit

Very true, and that would most probably be something I’d look into. Thank you for the interest! 🙏

i would love to know how you find references and poses and stuff like that! its one thing i always struggle w in my own art and seeing how other ppl go abt it is always helpful

Apple_BlossomArt

I'd definitely be down to see a discord server appear! It would be amazing to connect with you and other artists here as well, and Id love to see you stream you drawing I think that would be so awesome! Always curious about the time and thoughts that go into your work. And the process of your art would be amazing as well, I really admire the details in clothes and skin you do so a breakdown on that would be fantastic! As for tags, Maybe tag specific kinks or comics under one tag so they'd be in one or more categories? Idk if that makes sense-

I would love a discord to join and if you ever would like help making one feel free to poke me! I'd be more than happy to pitch in 😊 as for tags I actually would love one for when you do post any timelapses! Just for easy access/findings

StuckInAPit

I love seeing other artists’ processes too so I really feel that! Visualizing it can be so inspirational, too 💕

TheCottonCandyZombie

I think the server is a great idea and if you have someone that you can trust they can run the discord and you can just be social when you’re in the mood

Ashyscribbles

Damn, just a few days ago I thought that I really missed your livestreams! I think picarto lets you do semi-private streams too and only people with a specific link can join. So you could post the link here and only patreons could join. Discord would only be more helpful in regards of pinging people to inform them that you are going live in X minutes/hours. That being said, discord servers are usually one of my favorite patreon benefits when I subscribe to an artist. As for tutorial/progress things I always admired how you draw bodies interacting with each other, it looks so natural and not stiff at all. Not sure if you've got any tips for that or if it's something that comes natural to you.

Olivia Mancini

I would love to do a discord server and would be happy to help moderate! 💕

OK, so, for me the tagging: Fandom, character, kink would be nice. Or if it's sfw but it's angsty, I would like to know NOT to look at it, because I'm baby.

ElderberryElias

I'd absolutely love to be a part of a server! As for tags, I think going based on ships/characters or maybe specifics like sketch/comic/etc might help? And I'm not an artist, but tutorials would be super cool+

Anonymous

I would be really excited to watch streams or videos explaining some of your process! I’ve never been in an art-related discord but I think it would be cool to try out!

Paper

I would love to hear some of your anatomy tips and how you've gone about learning to make characters interact so well, if that makes sense? Like your characters interact with such natural but dynamic fluidity, it's so pleasing to look at!

Anonymous

The server sounds cool. I’d be interested in joining. As far as tags go, you could separate by ship/fandom stuff and then your nsfw and sfw things

Fall (Layne)

I would be *so* interested in a discord server? And I would love to see if there's a difference in how you do line work/shading when you know you're going to be coloring a piece versus when you know it's just going to be black and white?

Blue

Tags for pairings, trans hawks/enji, kink stuff, etc I am no artist but I enjoy watching the process and am obvs on discord too much anyway so I’d hop in a server

Anonymous

Just mostly tags of what characters are in the art or perhaps what show/movie they from.

Adwian

definitely would love to see how you approach anatomy/difficult posing and expressions in general since those are all things i find i struggle with

Liltkeva

YES PLEASE I always wanted to know what goes into your mind while you draw body hairs? Cause don’t get me started, your anatomy in general is hands down 11/10 a subject of intrest, and I’d love to hear about your process and the way you build the poses from scratch, but I’ve never quite seen anyone draw body hairs as well as you do, Pete!! >3 +I’m so down for discord service and art stream, I’m a grandma when it comes to technology, but if there’s anything I can help with to make it happen, I’ll be more than happy to help 🙏🏻

Martine

I'd LOVE to watch your streams again! Working on some art while also watching another artist draw is such a vibe ✨️ I'd love to see how you use references for your art and how you implement them to fit your own style! :) Like a glimpse from the early stages of a drawing, planning/sketching/posing/composition phase would be really cool ^^ (also I swoon over how you use different line weights so that could also be a treassure to learn more about!)

Martine

As for the tags, maybe an "angst" tag for us all to cry to HEH 🥲

Leo

I'd love to learn from you!! And the discord sounds really fun, I think it's a great idea

FunnyLittleCreature

Yes to the brushes and I’d love to be in a discord if you go that route. I’d also watch a stream too! I have no advice for tags as I’m terrible at it.

Nia

I am absolutely here for a discord!! As for tutorials, I am so curious how you do body hair— you have a way of making it look fluffy & realistic that just has me in awe every time!! For tags, which show it’s from would be most helpful, kink would be great too.

Anonymous

I'd defiantly be interested in joining the discord server!

Cathy

I think brush settings and some reference tips would be great bc I always love how you find such lively poses :) for tagging, +1 on ships/characters being the most important for me, you do a good job already putting CWs and kinks in the posts itself

Anonymous

I would absolutely love to see a bit more of your process - how you add levels of detail from blockout to those phenomenal squishy lovely bodies that look to tactile? I would happily lurk on discord but am a social media granny 😅

Anonymous

Shading and colour process breakdowns would be amazing! I just can't get my head around it loll. Re: discord servers I would love to be part if it happens! I'm not very social myself but it would be a fun experience and I'd be glad to help in any way I can 😊 I do have some knowledge in setting up servers and bots lol!

Anonymous

Really interested in seeing how you come up with poses and how you tackle lighting. Also some specifics on how you do specific types of bodies and body parts would be cool

TeddyFresh319

I Hope this isn’t a bother to ask but I’ve always struggled with posing and drawing some things and getting them to look right. How do you go about posing? Also drawing body types?

HUHHH

Discord server would be tight

Paige

personally i think ur tagging system works pretty darn well. Having the character/ship name and sfw/nsfw as tags r very efficient. Also id love to learn your storyboarding/scripting process for your comics? The paneling and text you use is so damn effective.

I think a discord would be lovely. I've ran a couple of rp focused servers and help set up some, and I can tell you that- as a fellow introvert- you don't have to be super active in it. Especially if you have a few channels that folks that are chilling and hanging out in can share things they find or post fun little memes and such. Just lay down some ground rules and reach out to the community to see if anyone would be willing to help with some mod things as far as making sure nothing gets out of hand and rules are followed. Do that and you're gucci. <333 If you decide you'd like to set one up and would like a bit of help or have some questions, you are welcome to message me if you like. Half the fun of discords is communities and being able to host enjoyable hang out streams and vcs and such, so chilling with you while you stream now and then would be delightful! A lot of folks have already suggested things that I'd like to see as far as your processes and such goes, so the only thing I would add is for tags (as your art archives grow) maybe including a tag for recurring kinks for the NSFW? Or possible for any AU specific things in case you decide to add onto- say- the Cowboy AU in one way or another. Just as an example!

Discord wouldn't be a bad idea, normally a lot of creators tend to use it to do streams and they pop in every so often. I've been a mod in a few, particular my longest one modding for was for my ex-boss which her server at one point had 10k people in it. Setting up servers I've done a couple, but they were basic level ones. So if you want some help Pete just lemme know 👍 As for Tagging you and I already had a small conversation about one particular tag that I'd fine useful, so I'm not gonna touch on that. YES TO HOW YOU DRAW, ALL OF IT!! Okay now that i'm home I can be less in a rush with the last part of this comment xD I think it would be interesting to see your thought process, how you go about getting references (if needed), how you go about starting your linework, where you think to shade and where you leave it as is etc etc. I think both discord streams and little step by step 'tutorials/how i draw' posts would do the trick, even maybe including the timelapse from clip where you draw an example of what your 'tutorial' was about so people can kind of see the process in action a little? Anyhoo, I think it'll all be pretty interesting to see what you end up deciding to do!

FillyBoy

I would love a discord. I'm pretty quiet in most servers, but I love watching art streams. I have some patreon creators who are really active and some who aren't and I don't mind either way (and so far as I can tell most other people I know who have the same patreon subscriptions don't care either) so I would def say, don't feel pressured to be super active on there if it's not in your spoons. Most of us just enjoy the community of finding other people who like the same things (and of course watching art streams).

Anonymous

Hello :) Regarding the tagging: I'm not sure how you do it now, but I'd go for what Fandom, what pairing, maybe if it's sfw or nsfw, some specifics, like hurt comfort, bdsm, etc. And of if it's "just' a sketch or full developed pic. Showing your work process would be great, as I always love to see how other artist work :) The Discord server, ooof I think it would be cool to see streams esp since we are nearly in the same time zine, so I could actually watch 😁 But I'm in so many servers but barley interact with anyone cause I always feel so out of place 🙈 I hope that may help 😅❤️

Anonymous

Big YES-vote for a discord server! :) The great think about them is that there really isn't any requirement on how much you should participate in chatting, and you can do it whenever you feel like socializing. I'm on a couple of patron discords and they're really nice, even if I'm not really active on most. :) Server setup and even bots are luckily very simple so I wouldn't worry even if there's not much experience! :) Also art streams are my absolute favorite things to watch so if a discord server would make those possible, that's an even bigger YES :'D

Njalcazar

Your hands tutorial was great! would also like too see facial expressions and maybe even an example of a pencil drawing cause i feel like that would be interesting to see ♥️

Anonymous

Would it be too much trouble to ask for a label for Best Jeanist? I love your art on him

Anonymous

individual character names or ship names! besides just endhawks ^.^

Nic the Djinn

I vote for individual character tags! Sometimes I'm just in the mood for a specific person and don't care who they're shipped with. I would also really love a trans tag. As a transguy, it's nice to not have to hunt to feel validated.

Hi, the discord idea sounds lovely but for me I know I am on a different time zone to most people so I would probably never use it. (I’d watch replays but I don’t thinks that’s an option on discord??) Tagging wise individual names and may be multi-panel or comic tag so I can look back and find some of the longer stories. I would never remember a name of a strip but if they are all together it might make it easier to find the mermaid again.

Parker

Raises my hand . Love the idea of a discord in theory and have seen it work quite well for others especially for the reason you have cited !! That being said you do have a very Large following and the thought comes to mind that you may not want to deal with the weird things that come with running a big discord esp in fandom!! I have done this many times and I’m sure u know it can be a wild wild rodeo

StuckInAPit

OH I didn't know that about Picarto, that'd be a game changers! I guess it's part of a premium service so I missed it when I originally looked into this, but definitely worth look into! Thanks for the tip 🙏

StuckInAPit

Angst is definitely a good point, I'll make sure to add a mention of it in in the future!

Ashyscribbles

Oh damn yeah, I forgot about the premium part. 15$ is quite a lot if you only want that option and don't care about all the other benefits.

i'm pro discord server! the important thing is to find mods you can trust—you're there to be the creator whose content we enjoy, not a discord modmin. to me those are two separate jobs. hellofutureme's patreon server is run this way, and it's all very smooth! mods you trust can also mean discord-savvy people you trust to help set up server roles and security.

Hey! Discord admin of a large art community here, its a LOT of work. You'll want to set firm community rules + find a very good mod team. Discords can very easily get out of hand imo. Theyre rewarding but a big step

Hi hi! Tagging wise tagging ships would be cool? I’d use that to filter the ships that I want to see more of, mostly endhawks for me but other ships are always good to go find too! Am interested in hearing about your inspirations in art and I guess how you got to this point? Breakdowns would be awesome but I don’t feel that’s something I expect from you if that makes sense? It’s welcome tho As for discord server, I don’t think I’d personally join. I like the parasocial relationship we have of me just watching from a far, appreciating your content and supporting your work. I don’t feel that you are at all required to interact with me, know me or talk to me, I know how much that type of interaction can be draining on big creators. This perspective also does partially come from experience of modding 4 ish servers, modding is hard and draining and depending on the community can negatively impact the mod team. But up to you, happy to support you in anyway you feel works for you, I love your content and wish you the best 💛
