An image post

[pebblerocker]

In the wake of the Great Photobucket Apocalypse of 2017, and after every other image host on the planet has already forbidden image hosting, I'm going to try out Dreamwidth's new image hosting. Here is a picture of a dragon I drew for my niece.



I currently have no job. Since being too busy at work and being drained after work has ruined my chances of doing NaArMaMo most recent years, perhaps I will do better at making art for a month this time around. On the other hand, it turns out that all my self-worth is in being able to work and so I have been mainly feeling miserable instead of doing amazing things with my new free time.

*HUGGLES* Your dragon is lovely.

I just found a free site that might be usable for the purposes of Naarmamo- it's not meant for image STORING, but for linking to forums- It looks like you don't need to get an account, just upload your images and get 'permanent links for Facebook, Twitter, message boards and blogs.'

If you want to keep using DW but are afraid you'll run out of space, you can reduce the file size- I copied your dragon to check it out-it's 664kb. A black & white line drawing could be much smaller and still *look* the same on a webpage, so I'm guessing you don't have any programs to do file size reduction.

BUT! If you google 'online image file size reduction' you'll find quite a few free sites that promise to do it for you.

I can still host images at Flickr, but it's a pain getting the URLs; DW is so much better.

Nice dragon! When is naarmamo? I'll have to try to unpack the stuff I haven't yet to find my graphics tablet.

I know what you mean about self-worth and work; I went through that a few years ago after a redundancy. I hope you find something good soon, and in the meantime enjoy the spare time.

I've been hunting around (I mean, I've been putting pics on photobucket since 2007!!!!!) and the easiest I've found is vgy.me. Again, how permanent is permanent...

Flikr is fiddly, but I may use it for some of my grouped posts (like the 100 things)

That is a very gorgeous dragon. I like how tough it looks, like lean and ready for a fight.

And lkasdjfhoisjd, this:

It's such the worst thing brains do, but yes. It's really hard to get past. Have you looked into volunteering at all?

I love your dragon, especially the clean lines and pointyness.

Well, damn!

It looks like NaArMaMo came just in time, then. If there were any time to break out the crayons and finger paint, now would be it.

No evil can withstand the power of crayons.

That's the unemployment catch. I just started a new job so am not participating, boo. Good luck! Create some stuff you like!
