Hi folks! I'm giving Mastodon a try, and figured a painting I made of myself was a good place to start!

@Cariboops This is so pretty! Don't forget to add alt text, as some users won't boost stuff that doesn't have alt text.

Maybe something like "An illustration of a furry caribou sitting in a tree. He's wearing shorts, hoodie, tank top, and a glowing redish-orange crystal. He's smiling while waving and looking at the camera.

He's back lit as the sun streams through the trees. You can see a mountain on the horizon with waterfalls."

Thank you! Oh and of course, I missed the option to add a description to the image when I posted! I'll be sure to add them going forward!

@Cariboops You can also edit posts on most clients to add in alt text after posting.
@gumbyscout Oh also very good to know! I'll get an alt text on this bou then!
