We often thank people for writing image descriptions here. And we should; they're awesome! So please consider this post as only applying to those awesome folks who describe their images, and those who only do not because of their own disabilities, especially if they use imagecaptionspls@a.gup.pe or the Alt4You hashtag instead:
Thank you, too, to those of you who properly tag your posts. If you use any of the below hashtags (and I hope you can forgive me for pinging them this once), thanks! Or, of course, any other image-related hashtags that I just haven't encountered yet!
They give your post more reach, of course, and that's very useful to artists. But they also make your post easily filterable. This means that sometimes, when there is a little too much of everything, I can temporarily lessen the amount of images on my timeline.
Please do not take this as proof that image descriptions are useless. They're not! I for one still very much enjoy them. There's a reason why #Caturday, #CatsOfMastodon, #DogsOfMastodon, etc. are not in the below list, though tagging those is still great! It's because I cannot imagine a day when I'd feel overwhelmed by cute animal pic descriptions.
But ... while I often want to be a part of your world, there are days when I don't feel like it. When I'd rather enjoy the text that is common to all of us, the reason I came here. Or perhaps all the cool audio stuff my friends are posting (which should also be described and hashtagged for deaf and hard of hearing folks!) Filtering allows me to do that on a platform that doesn't support blocking media, while still recieving some images that I am interested in, and not having to mute any of you wonderful people.
I know "thank you for letting me filter and ignore your stuff" is not the kindest statement, but ... yeah, still. #art, #BelieveInFilm, #Blendsday, #Bloomscrolling, #EyeContact, #drawing, #FernFriday, #florespondence, #illustration, #image, #lichenSubscribe, #MacroPhotography, #MastoArt, #NaturePhotography, #painting, #PhonePhotography, #photo, #photography, #picture, #selfie, #SilentSunday, #StreetPhotography, #VirtualPhotography.
Made it to the Cistern level. The last time I was here in the original I got Pierre to show up at the bottom of it while the entire place was flooded. Wonder if I'll have the same luck... 😎
Piece I made for the forum reopening contest on 3D Shards.
The orc here was originally built for a spite-motivated one-off render, but he's since insisted on growing into a full character and is now nagging me for a story. This piece shows him with his one true love in life: Cats.
For many outside the #Gaming bubble, #VirtualPhotography is not yet that exciting. But I think #photographers can also risk a look and see if there are successful works among the pictures @PixelSteph :comfycamera:
You can find my first visual impressions of #Cyberpunk2077 under my #Pixelfed account @PixelSteph. The pictures were taken on the PS5, some in performance mode, the next pictures I will explicitly take in quality mode.
Feel free to leave some comments and let me know what you think about my character design of V 👀
