I had one of these threads a few months ago but didn't bookmark it and now it is lost XD

BIPOC creatives, please tag yourselves! Introduce your work, provide pictures, add your shop/donation links <3

Everyone else: please boost the heck out of the replies!

Use alt text if you can, but it's also fine to ask for help with it: https://mastodon.art/@Curator/109279035107793247

(For those unfamiliar or with language barriers, BIPOC is 'Black person, Indigenous person, or Person of Colour'.)

We have a lot of blind and partially sighted users on the fediverse. Accessibility is important here, and as such, it's good form to include image descriptions (alt text) when we add media to our posts. When someone uses a screenreader to read the timeline, and the screenreader comes to an image with no alt text, it just says 'image' (as far as I know). That's boring, unhelpful, and provides no clue as to what the image actually *is*. This differs slightly depending on how you're using (cont)

@Curator My name is Benn. I am a Virginia elementary school teacher by day and a creative when I’m outside the classroom. I am an author and a 3D artist, specialized primarily in Daz Studio. My most recent book, “A Song of Freedom: A Hip-Hop Novella” in available for purchase in my #KoFi Shop. I am also trying to raise funds for a huge project in working on for #NaNoWriMo in the fall. My current goal for the project is $35, so if anyone would like to help me meet or exceed that goal, I would truly appreciate it! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 https://ko-fi.com/scribblerrva/goal?g=1

@Curator Quick update! My #KoFi goal is almost met! Just need someone (ones? 😬) to help me get to (get past?😬) the finish line! https://ko-fi.com/scribblerrva/goal?g=98

For some assurance that I’m real about my intentions, here is a preview of my yet untitled #NaNoWriMo 2023 project! #Writing #Writer #Art #3DArt #DazStudio #Daz3D

@Curator UPDATE: I woke up to discover that my goal got EXCEEDED! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾Thank you to those who helped me get there. Slowly but surely, my #NaNoWriMo 2023 project is starting to come together. And now with my goal met, here is my question:

Which one of these should I do next: introduce the love interest of one of my main characters?

Or

A scene introducing two other key characters in the story? #Writing #WritingCommunity #Art #Artist #Daz #Daz3D

Love interest
33.3%
Scene with a couple of new key characters
66.7%
Poll ended at .

@Curator The #WritingCommunity and partakers of #Art spoke. And here’s the result. Introducing three new characters in this story. Here are: Yeems Maplegrove, one of Dergal’s brothers; Colin Grimsby, local tavern owner; and Colin’s eldest daughter, Aileen.

Thank you all once again for your support in helping me reach my most recent goal. Without you, Colin and Yeems would not have been possible. 😁🙏🏾 But I still have a ways to go with this project and a LOT of obstacles to jump over between now and November, especially as it relates to procuring the remainder of the cast. If you would like to see more previews of what I’m planning for this story, and would like to continue to support my project, feel free to drop a dollar or two on my #KoFi page: https://ko-fi.com/scribblerrva. Thank you in advance! #Artist #ArtistsOnMastodon #Writing #3D #3DArt #Daz3D #DazStudio
