it hasnt even been a full week of july and im already beating my artfight goals (ive done over 15 attacks!!! wtf!!!) this is so crasy....
im going to be out of town starting tomorrow until sunday so if anyone wants to attack me while im vulnerable and unable to attack back that would be so. Smiles.
if you think my ratio is going to be fucked dont worry. i will probably be making more than 30 attacks before the month ends because im insane. im crazy. im gonna kill you. im insane. ill revenge you. ill attack you. 
sorry i kind of dropped off the face of the planet content wise, ive been busy losing my mind and also going to work. you know how it is, standard artist apology for not making content 24/7, we all expect it..........
im excited for artfight this year though! i have realized that i get possessed by some kind of art demon and i actually like drawing during it because i have an Excuse to do so and people will see it. three teams is also crazy. tricolor art fight...........
i've heard some rumblings about the discord moderators being discord moderators blowing up on twitter and tiktok recently. i dont really know the details but given that i dont really use big discords for events and groups like these i dont really gaf and as long as its not like. Official Statements using the Official Accounts im going to assume its just a rogue moderator being shitty. or whatever. as a reddit lurker shitty mods are a dime a dozen idgaf
honestly though in my opinion if i could run artfight i would be keeping shit locked down so tightly the only way you can interact with site staff is through feedback forms because its very evident the userbase skews young and towards.... eesh.... the toyhouse crowd. and we all know how insane the toyhouse crowd gets, i feel like adopts culture in general is always like 5 steps away from inventing NFTs again just so people don't steal the idea of putting a bow on your characters head. thats my justification for why i would make things that locked down. ive seen the worst of it.
but yeah anyway. art fight. im in the process of making new pages for my object show ocs that ive been developing since last year, and im having a lot of fun putting the finishing touches on these concepts yay.
im team comedy this year because i mean come on. im a clown. i love clown. i love comedy. i dont care about that stupid other mask i only want to see the happy smile, grins
heres a link to my page!!!! theres also the link in the user bar if you dont like touching yucky text links for some reason
long time member here noticing a lot of folks coming in from diggon's video on the indie web, so im assuming at least a few people will see this journal post
so welcome! this is sheezyart, if you watched the video you probably know its a deviantart revival site and we're big on customization here. there's a few things you might wanna know that i as a user found/find important, and my opinions on these topics
There Is No Algorithm!
self explanatory! theres no algorithm to this site, not in the way the Only Five Websites serve you content. there's the trending feed, which measures how new an upload is vs its likes/comments/engagement, and the spotlights on the corners. otherwise you'll find a lot of stuff through the newest uploads feed, or custom feeds!
feeds are a good way of self-curating your experience on sheezy, and are a great way to find new artists and engage in conversations with each other! you can set them up to have all sorts of parameters, for example i have a feed that shows me journals with the tags "discussion" and "discussionwelcome" so i can yap about things with strangers, lmao
also, i've noticed people who tend to comment a lot and engage with other peoples posts get a lot of engagement in return, so my next point is:
Talk To Each Other!
people love to comment here! commenting is welcome! there is no such thing as a "reply guy" on sheezy, and there's no hostility towards yapping. just be courteous and remember that other people are going to see what you say!
this also applies to your journals. i cannot stress this enough, what you say on your journals will show up on the front page for a time, and Other People Will See It. it will not be buried. if you only intend for a few people to see it and/or reply to it, i would not recc posting it on sheezy.
Tagging
sheezy is not instagram, it is not facebook, it is not twitter. it's small. the community and the people that run sheezy care about the content being put on it. get familiar with the content tagging system, and don't abuse it! there's a handy guide of what is and isn't allowed on sheezy, and how to tag things as certain ratings, etc.
(also, because i brace for the worst, i'm expecting at least one shitfit about the things banned on sheezy incoming on this user wave. idgaf. there are other websites that operate on free speech absolutism, and look at where that got twitter)
(but i digress. tagging.) tag things EXCESSIVELY. not just sensitive content, but details! the more tags the better! they help your uploads show up in searches. it's how people find things! just make sure your tags are relevant to your upload- don't tag your sonic the hedgehog fanart as #warriorcats unless it's also got warrior cats in it. generally just use your brain
Speaking of Censorship...
Youre allowed to swear here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can swear uncensored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can say all sorts of words uncensored as long as theyre not slurs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there is nobody and nothing that will ban you for saying kill or die or shit or fuck or piss or hell or ass or suicide or rape
the only limit is your comfort with saying these things. please do not censor these words, if you are really that uncomfortable with typing them then i would suggest not discussing the topics.
and if you're REALLY uncomfortable with a topic, you can add it to your tag blocklist in the settings. your blocklist is your lifeline if something upsets you, or doesn't upset you, or just plain annoys you. nobody can see that you blocked something or someone. it's allowed. hence why we're so big on tags here!
Other Sites
we <3 other sites on sheezy! share your frequent places, talk about them, add as many links as you want. there's no shadowbanning here, and especially not for links. as a member of the community all i ask is you don't spam them 900 zillion times in everyones comments sections lol. that'll get you banned
a lot of users like neocities hosting, so you'll see a lot of neocities links! there's also nekoweb, strawpage, carrd, and a few others im forgetting
also this is a shameless plug for the forums i like to frequent-
desktopgeneration - a forum dedicated to y2k futurism aesthetics
deltarune unofficial message boards - deltarune forum with the chaotic atmosphere of a discord server "[the] Off-Topic Discussions section of the warrior cats forums"
melonland - old web revival forum/community
Image Hosting
if you need image hosting for putting images on your profile (or in journals), i really recommend using filegarden. it's free and easy to use <3
an opposite of recommendation: do NOT use discord for these things. discord image links expire, and your pages will be full of dead images within a few weeks. also don't use neocities for that stuff either because its against their tos
theres a few other imagehosts but ive found filegarden to be the most reliable and averse to enshittification
man time must accelerate super fast in the months of november and december because i suddenly stopped drawing seriously for a while then. its almost like i got some kind of retail job that made me insanely busy ?
im not stating any serious intentions to "draw more" in the new year here but i do think its something i should be doing more of regardless. i got a bunch of mini pocket notebooks recently so maybe thatll help get some ideas in my brain
animation is literally the devil how do people do this all day (i say this as if i haven't been playing with animation software for as long as i had access to a computer)
anyway i think everyone should try blender 2d animation tools at least once. its pretty similar to how macromedia flash/adobe animate works plus it has a 3d engine built in and isn't a paid feature. or whatever idk if adobe still charges extra for 3d tools or if its a whole nother software at this point to rugpull people with. ive been using the free indefinite trial that comes with being able to use search engines this whole time so i would not know anything about newer versions
