Update - January 2024
🕑 Added 2024-01-02 15:59:28 +0000 UTCGreetings - hopefully you're all recovering well from yesterday; Wanted to give you all a heads-up on the current status of the site. I've taken a bit of a break from uploading works from Dropbox into the public, but I should be resume that shortly. Also, I'll restart transposing my stories formerly posted on Pixiv onto .PDF format again this month and post them publicly as well.
Furthermore, expect a DM later today from me with a link to my Discord; anyone with a $5 pledge will be able to participate, see regularly progress reports of my WIPs, submit requests and suggestions or whatever and also listening bitch, moan and rant about how my life sucks and kicks me back down when I try to get back up, but I digress...
Also wanted to tell you where you can find my works publicly once I sever my relationship with Dropbox; so, here's a list of links where you can find them in no particular order of preference:
Pixiv: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/1047546 - chances are the majority of you discovered my works here; I still post here regularly, and have been here the longest, since 2016. I also restarted my Pixiv FANBOX there last month, so if you're having trouble with Patreon declining you, give that a shot. Downsides are they're AI-tolerant (although they don't whore themselves out nearly to the extent dA does and are more aggressive when dealing with scumbags that don't mark their 'work' as such) and of course, being subject to Japanese censorship laws.
FurAffinity: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/personanongratafa - Yes, I have a FA account; no, this does not mean I will be expanding my work into furry/anthro/etc. stuff. Still, they're a pretty accepting bunch, NSFW-friendly and solidly anti-AI, which makes them OK in my book. Downsides include images uploaded are compressed and they're not friendly towards alt. versions of images.
Twitter: https://twitter.com/atargnonanosrp - definitely not a favorite site of mine, especially since that piece-of-shit manchild took it over. Still, you can find my work there if for some reason you feel like diving into that particular cesspool, and they haven't hassled me over posting NSFW stuff there - at least not yet. I've got my reasons for sticking around but they're admittedly rather selfish.
Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/personanongratabs.bsky.social - basically a Twitter that sucks less and without a narcissistic douchebag looming over it. Also NSFW friendly. Aside from last week, don't really post that much there as I don't get a lot of engagement there (although you can now view individual accounts without needing access to Bluesky itself now).
Newgrounds : https://personanongratang.newgrounds.com/ - probably the best site from this lot for viewing my works; they don't compress images, they're anti-AI, they're NSFW friendly and like Pixiv you can view alt versions of images without problems. However, like Bluesky, I don't get a lot of engagement there so I generally don't post there very often, which is pretty much the only downside.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/personanongrataig/ - Ugh, dunno why I bothered, but I also have an IG account; I pretty much stick to only SFW illustrations there and only keep nine images up there on a rotation, a lot of images get cut off, and it's run by that creepy rich dude (you know which one). I'd personally skip on this one unless you want to help break my follower count there which perpetually hovers just under 600....
deviantart: https://www.deviantart.com/personanongratada - the 800lb gorilla of the whole interweb art community, unfortunately overrun by management that's completely whored themselves out to the AI scourge, AI 'artists' (including dA's CEO), spammers and art thieves. Also suffers from a truly fucked-up interface, a schizophrenic policy towards NSFW and a lot of creepy and fucked-up individuals that either belong in a mental ward or behind bars. Unless you're interested in some of my hobbies or what I had for lunch a couple of months or six years ago, steer clear; the only legit reason I keep my account open there is to file DMCA complaints against art thieves that steal my work.
One last thing - if by any chance any of you use a VPN, and the one you're using is NordVPN - make sure TO TURN OFF AUTO-RENEW ASAP!!! (sorry for the all-caps)
Well, if you've somehow managed to make it through all that shit I posted above, thank you - and take care!
