Artist specs: Gender: β male , Pronouns: π also I literally don't care about pronoun science. Just call me CHIEF SCIENTIST OF COCKAGE
Hello! If my gallery looks rather empty, turn off the SFW mode. Most of my things are meant for lewd eyeballs. And brains.
β· Requests: No. I offer commissions instead. If you want something, gimme some $$$
β· Trades: If you're an artist colleague and we have commented on each other's things, let's talk
βΆβΆ COMMISSIONS: I take commissions. Check here: https://todexlabs.com/commissions/
βΆβΆ SUBSCRIBESTAR/PATREON:
Most of the things I work on (aside of commissions) are made for my much beloved and highly respected supporters.
My current character + theme listing you can find here: https://todexlabs.com/art-project/
Check out my SubscribeStar.Adult page if you wanna toss me some coin in exchange for some arts~
The resulting main versions of each artwork get posted in my gallery, and after one year you can find the formerly Supporter-exclusive artworks here in all their glory: todexart.download!
All of my self-hosted sites are free of tracking and ads. Enjoy :>
βΆβΆ MY LINK LIST:
What do the hip and cool kids use for this? Linktree? Well I host my own!
Check out my links to see where else on the web you can find me and my artworks or socialize.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Other stuff:
If you find a 'Todex' on Steam or in games or on FB or Google or anything: That is not me. I don't use accounts with that name for those services. Ever.
Even though I have a smoking hot shork OC, I don't wanna see him actively engaged in lewd acts. If you want to draw fanart of him, keep his pants on. UwU
If you have the hots for some of my other OCs like anubis boio or Draeqris, then by all means go for it!
I GREATLY PREFER EMAILS INSTEAD OF NOTES. Email address: notes - at - todexlabs - dot - com
Alternatively, use twitter DMs to each out, my DMs are open.

Long lived the fediverse
9 months ago
Yes yes Journals. By modern standards - or lack thereof - almost novels with how many words you encounter in a single chunk of text. :P
TLDR: I've nuked my fediverse presence. If you used to follow me there, you can delete it.
--
Now for my very opinionated take on why - if you care. If not, yanno. Grab a shovel and a box of dildos, go into a dark cave and have fun or something! You do you!
--
So faced with the choice to carry the instance onwards when migrating between hypervisors and root servers, and looking at the meager growth opportunities that the Fediverse presents, I strongly felt my will to live leave my body. π And that's usually the point where I change things, so it didn't make the cut.
I like nerdy people who host their own instances. I can relate to them, I like tech, I like hosting things, I like tinkering with them. If it was for the sake of just staying in touch with techy folks and not to post art, then I'd maintain an instance.
But there the issues (issues to me, maybe not to you!) begin. You can't browse the fediverse properly.
You have to painstakingly pry your way through instances manually, hoping to find interesting stuff.
You can't easily find art because all of it is hidden behind walls of text. Content warnings. I will rant about them more later.
You can't find users because the fediverse HATES discoverability. Attempts of some people to make a large central registry were met with such hate and toxic responses that they abandoned the ideas pretty quickly.
Your own growth is limited by how many users your home instance has. Network effects do not really exist (outside of your small home instance). Which again is really no problem when you go out there to find a few people to share thoughts with. It *is* a problem if you want your artworks to be seen! And found. And spread.
10 months on it, less than 300 followers. Granted, many interesting people with their own instances. Just, from an art perspective.... What am I gaining for my troubles? Nothing much.
Rant incumming.
Content warnings.
The fediverse is stuffed to the brim with 'em. Everyone warning *potentially* offended people who are unfit to deal with life and reality, about virtually anything.
Character makes eye contact? WOAH it is triggering maybe, best warn about it.
Penis? Yeah no this is definitely horrible, OH GOD THERE ARE NIPPLES best warn people.
EXPOSED ELBOWS?!?!? *GASP*
Someone is smacking a mosquito, this is gross violence, we must warn about it!!!
OH NOE THE COLOR RED, THIS CAN HARM PEOPLE how dare u post this WARN THEM ABOUT IT -- you get the idea. I'm also not exaggerating by much.
Instead of art or interesting content you just see warnings written on behalf of people that exist on *some* instance out there (which the poster does not know!!), who will go thermonuclear if their instance imports those posts because one user on that instance - unrelated to them - interacted with it.
Is that the burden of the poster to warn about? I think not.
It's a systemic issue because nobody thought about implementing content types, and content rating metadata.
It is also a result of what looks to be an isolationist culture of mentally unstable, easily triggered pricks that make up the core of most old fediverse instances. Play by their rules, or they get triggered. Their rules. Not yours. You dirty newcomer with your dirty newcomer ideas and memes best fit in or ELSE. Don't you dare post X, it is not welcome! <Insert tribal warfare here>
When bluesky came around, it was an eyeopener. It still is. Frictionless, granular content types which you can block, hide, warn about, or show without any fuss. It works, it is easy to do, it is part of the protocol, every user can make their own choice about what they want, and if that is not enough they can subscribe to user curated block lists. Or custom feeds.
And it doesn't take me writing a novel to explain causal users how to use it.
Yes I know. It's still a shitty microblogging service owned by yet another narc of a billionaire CEO who will eventually sell out your userdata for quick ad money while getting rimmed by underpaid pirate prostitutes on his private sex yacht while fellating a bag of money, and it is not Tumblr or an art gallery. All true.
Sadly the enshittened internet isn't offering up anything better that has actual reach right now and appeals to people who do not like more traditional places like FA here.
I am actually hoping we'll get back to the point where everybody hangs out on a single art site or has a cute custom personal website but... well I can dream!
Anyhow, that's all.
Also if you made it this far I'll let you know that https://todexart.download has gotten six months worth of more Patreon-exclusive artssssssss! Enjoy UWU

I'm trying to rework them but stuff happened and I feel too busy as is.
The exellent artwork right here is making it even harder to concentrate on my own stuff
Given your personal preferences, I just thought you'd like to be aware x3
