tbh I've thought about it for a while & I'm debating whether or not I should change the theme for the stamps page. Because ik it's separate from current DA and I was planning on using it to dunk on that site as well, but also considering their current direction I'm not as comfortable having something onsite that could be mistaken as a "DA shrine"

I should probably start sticking to the habit of posting site updates as a stand-alone post going forward. that way I can get across major updates w/o the neocites thumbails showing a completely different page when I decide to do more site tweaks afterwards

A big addition to some of the year galleries; I've recently decided to stop posting to DeviantArt again and with 2020-2022 already nearly having parity with the DA galleries I finally sat down, compressed and added the pics that weren't there (+ a few I never posted on DA) onsite. & As such removed the "extended DA gallery" links for those pages

There are a few pics I haven't backed up (noteably: pics with gore since I don't have an onsite filtering system yet & two pics that weren't on my external hard drive) But outside of that for 2020 onward this site's a far more comprehensive archive (anything older has to wait though, I drew way more back then so that's a lot more pics to manage))

Does anyone know if stamp-makers have gathered elsewhere? while i still want to continue my stamps page I'm feeling pretty burned by DA at the moment & would like to hunt for some offsite (afaik i've only found 2 sites that host some of their own, but stamp collecting isn't nearly as big as buttons & blinkies around here)

I do plan on making some on my own & maybe reuploding the ones I made when I was 15, but also part of the fun imo is collecting them

Oh that is a beautiful recreation of DeviantArt's old layout... Man I love and hate how hobbyists can make a better site layout than corporate geeks

@drawloverlala & @ralts thank you! sdfghjkl I've been wanting to make my stamps collection on a DA clone page for a while too, it feels right (especially off of... how minimalist & dysfunctional DA becamelol)

A small thing I'll be chipping away at; with the art archive part of my site already set-up I think it's about time for the personal side of the site to get more updates. I don't plan on making it that huge as of now since the art archive's the main thing I use this site for, but having a few self indulgent pages won't hurt

Also, I'm closing my buttons & stamps collections on the webmaster page for now since I'm moving them to their own pages eventually. I'm also thinking about refreshing the outbound links page but that's later down the line ig

archived some older 2019 art in prep for when I get around to adding my art summaries for those & as such have spun them out into their own page
ik most people are able to separate old DA from modern DA but I think them plastering propaganda on their site is too far for me personally to participate in 'old DA nostalgia' at the moment. I might at least change the colors bc I've already made it clear in the page's flavor text that I don't like DeviantArt
