comms update
Posted 4 days agoComms are very late right now. I've been having a bad couple of mental health weeks (I'm fine) and also some back pain.
I'm only posting this as an update. I'm good. Still working on them, just at a much slower pace than usual.

Comms Update
Posted 3 weeks agoComms are running a bit behind. Tonight I sent everyone who commissioned me around the 29th to 31rst an update or a heads up that I'll be updating them within a few days.
Augh, I need to reconsider how I do colored comms. I have a habit of committing way too much time to each one. :/ Just still not sure what my personal preference is yet.
Thankfully this should be the last massive que (knock on wood...).
All of that said I don't really expect them to run that far past their due date. Again, knock on wood, Lol.

Any questions about OCs/questions for me?
Posted a month agoDunno when I'll answer them (I often forget... Lol the urge to do an art response gets too strong and there's never time).
Looking for questions directed at OCs or about OCs, or about me/directed at me if you prefer.
That said, please no horny questions or questions phrased like roleplay, though I will happily answer questions ABOUT roleplay. I do not want things like 'can I live in your tummy' or 'what's it feel like when Jacky's in your tummy'. Pls no.

General FAQ
Posted 3 months agoTossed a general FAQ up on tumblr if anyone is interested in that,
https://www.tumblr.com/greekceltic/.....3961142091776/
Eventually I'll add this to my links page when I decide where I'm keeping it.
I didn't copy paste it because I know I'm gonna be tinkering with it a lot and I don't wanna have multiple versions floating around. It's easier for me to keep it in one spot.

My bluesky! (Bluesky is open)

Zazzle?
Posted 9 months agoAny interest in Zazzle sticker sheets?
I just know the minute I put my stickers on a new site I'm gonna find out the other one is better. XD But it's been a while, and I'd really like to get them back up.
They were on Redbubble but then Redbubble kinda shit on the floor with their policy updates. Printful has been on my list but I'm not sure if I like having to set up my own shop front/calculate shipping, etc. The shipping on individual stickers would be pretty painful, too.

Bluesky: GreekCeltic
Posted 9 months agoBeen on there a while. I hope it opens it's gates soon because it's a pretty nice place and if we're going to see another mass hangout I'd most like it to be bluesky.

Posted 10 months agocw: life? health the usual
Been dealing with one catastrophe after another since September and I've got a parent looking at a possible stent or bypass surgery soon. I'm not sure if posting about personal problems is something I'm comfortable with, but it's always a good idea to keep clients/potential clients in the know when stuff is happening, however vague. Anyway, yeah. My brain is full of holes lately.
Email responses can be slow, but I take my commission turn around times seriously.
Having said all that if you're looking to get a sketch from me, it's tough for me to know right now when I'll be open. I recommend following my picarto and catching me during a stream for live sketch comms. I also have a discord server where I try to post notices if I'm streaming and when I open for comms while streaming (though I'm not always open).

Candy commission posting update
Posted a year agoOof, I'm realizing I have too many finished candy comms and no time to sort through them.
If you wanted yours posted give me a holler and I will try to eventually get a collage up. I often opt out of posting commissions- but I feel some clients may have been waiting for these.

My art being copied. Another Update.
Posted a year agoEvery here and there I get a new message about this and feel I need to post a new response.
This time it was a tumblr ask. Here's a link and my response.
https://www.tumblr.com/greekceltic/.....o?source=share
my response:
I'm aware. I've been pretty vocal that I have no association with this person and they don't have my permission to use my art the way that they do (they are also aware. I've sent them an FA note about it in the past). It still comes up off and on. I have them blocked everywhere.
I appreciate the concern and that you reached out, though.
Just to recap, while I don't agree with what this specific person is doing, I don't mind when inspiration is taken as long as it's taken ethically and from multiple sources. Nobody wants to be farmed.
Edited their name out because I don't wish them harassed.
My recently active account names are GreekCeltic, Trashbowser, Cartoonsnacks, Cartoonteeth, DingDangDragon and Cartoonbabble. If it's not one of those names, it probably isn't my art.

Me When I Get You Shirt - Got grabbed by bots.
Posted a year agoSo a bot grabbed the Me When I Get You graphic and uploaded it to a bunch of t-shirt sites. I'm just posting this as a PSA that the only places I uploaded to are Redbubble and Teespring.
The only links you can get it from me (and be sure you're getting the fullsize graphic and not whatever they're working with there) are in these two places-
https://greekceltic.creator-spring.com/
https://www.redbubble.com/people/Gr.....tic/shop?asc=u
This isn't a top priority for me right now (there is already too much stress here, way too much) and it's a problem I didn't foresee, so it's gonna be a minute before I can file claims to get the other versions taken down. I'm not even sure if it's humanly worth it- it's almost as bad as en/F/Ts. I guess I just have to watermark the next one. Sucks.

Auugh
Posted a year agoTired of uploading old art, lol
I'd rather have it all towards the back of the gallery before I start posting new stuff though.

Redbubble
Posted a year agoTrying out redbubble, mostly for the stickers. I'll probably take this down later as I'm not sure how I feel about redbubble yet, but I sneak it in here and there.
https://www.redbubble.com/people/Greekceltic/shop
I've never done this and have no idea what the quality of these products would be. There don't seem to be many upload/quality control restrictions in place on redbubble, so I did a lot of guessing.

How I label my art (vore, not vore, niche, whatever).
Posted a year agoI've decided to lean away from the word vore. I gave it a try but never really identified it with the content I draw. Endo doesn't work for me either. Any word will eventually be sexualized, that's just how the world spins.
I don't care or have any desire to change how other people view my art. I don't care if other people call my work vore. I understand that within the community the word has a broad definition that is frankly ignored everywhere outside of it. This strictly involves how and when the word vore is used by me personally.
In my own spaces I get to choose how to label my art. In this case that may mean no label at all, or just 'niche'.
It may mean I still use vore in spaces and situations where I know the definition is not inherently sexual (like FA, where almost everyone has bumped elbows with someone who enjoys that content in a different way). The point is, I'm gonna do what makes sense to me.
Edit: The word and the community are a non-issue for me. This is literally just about how I personally use the word in reference to my art, because it doesn't make sense to me to apply a word that can have sexual connotations to art that's not. It's just kinda confusing for the viewer.

Combined a bunch of stuff.
Posted a year agoSorry XD I didn't delete anything but I did delete some submissions and add the sketches to other ones. Will probably do it several times more.
The tremendous sketch clutter on my old account was one of the things bugging me.

Cleaned out the old account.
Posted a year agoI'm only posting this because a lot of old auctions got cleaned up as well. I screenshotted those pages that were still up for records.
I wiped my old gallery clean. It wasn't what I planned on doing when I sat down, but once I got started I just decided not to stop. It was too freeing to delete shit and not care. I've been too focused on posting old art lately and dating everything. It's stupid and no fun.
I changed account names because I use GreekCeltic pretty much everywhere (extra twitters accounts aside). Seems like a rare opportunity to start fresh and post shit that's interesting to me instead of stuff I feel obligated to post.
**edit: reuploading some things in mass so there won't be a weird timeline gap later. Only uploading stuff I want to.

Stress
Posted a year agoStress stress stress (and other sad things, if that's an issue for you).
--
We had a recent death in the family (old age), and I really haven't even stopped to process it. I have other family members going through their own hardships. I'm okay, just tired and venting, and annoyed that I can't binge work anymore because my ulnar nerve (elbow) seems to be acting up. My arm goes numb if I try to draw with it bent. I'm taking care of it, just hate waiting for it to heal.
Things will work themselves out eventually.
Done whining, back to drawing dragons.

copied art
Posted a year agoI'm already aware that my art is being copied. I'm not associated with it. They're blocked. I'm kinda burnt out on the subject.
I'm sure if something worth my attention comes up people will let me know, but I don't need or wish to see or be alerted to every piece of copied art. Let me rest.
I already addressed it in this post, but I'll recap below.
https://greekceltic.tumblr.com/post.....-have-no#notes
While I don’t agree with what this specific person is doing because it's so extreme, I don’t mind when inspiration is taken as long as it’s taken ethically and from multiple sources. Nobody wants to be farmed.
I edited their name out because I don't wish them harassed.
My recently active account names are GreekCeltic, Trashbowser, Cartoonsnacks, Cartoonteeth, DingDangDragon and Cartoonbabble. If it’s not one of those names, it probably isn’t my account.

Movin' new submissions over here.
Posted a year agoFA was the last place I haven't been using a single username, and I'm not super attached to my old gallery so I'm just gonna start posting new art over here.
I will likely eventually disable trashbowser after I've posted the old art either here or elsewhere.
