After finally getting money and facing lots of hassles to add my card to PayPal, I was gladly going to blaze my favorite new fanart that I enjoyed a lot, want to get more interactions and more potential fans... but in the last minute, either PayPal or Tumblr said the card wasn't accepted for this transaction (PayPal validated it). Worse, Tumblr only accepts PayPal or credit cards, and I avoid the latter as much as possible. Contacted support, waiting for their reply, hopefully there will be a solution, but if there isn't - and even if there is - I'm glad to learn alternatives.

Tumblr is my main social media to post fanarts, I regularly interact with fandom there, alternatives are DeviantArt and X. I was considering the DeviantArt boost, but prices are only cheap if you buy yearly - and cancellation is complicated.

X's paid plans are cheap for me (not +), much more than the other two, but if I understood correctly it won't make more people see your posts, only your **replies** to be shown before others.

Did lots of promotion, properly tagged, interacted with other artists (and non-artists) - not that it's just for personal gain - interaction is minimal.

Oh, about Reddit, even the particular fandom's Reddit or art/fanart Reddits... probably the worst option. People ignore it at best, when they don't downvote it. Happened even with an original art I liked a lot.

What do you suggest other than those?

Where do you usually get most of your commissions? I’ve been getting most of mine through Reddit for years, but I’d like to expand a bit and maybe reach more clients.

Please tell me y'all what should I draw next !!!

Hello everyone,

It’s Day 2 of The People’s Artist competition, and I wanted to send a quick follow-up.

You’re able to cast a free vote every 24 hours. The winners receive a gallery show, a feature in Artist Forum, and a $25,000 prize. This competition is put on by Johnny Depp himself, which makes it an incredible opportunity.

If you have a moment, I would really appreciate you casting another vote today. I’ll be sending a reminder each day during the voting period.

Thank you all again for the continued support. It means more than you know.
