These days I upload to other places besides FA, just in case of situations like this.

■ Itaku

Everything I upload will go here.

■ Bluesky
• https://bsky.app/profile/lowenmothbat.bsky.social
My social media. If you need to contact me, message me here

■ Lowen's Hub
• https://lowenmothbat.weebly.com/
This contains all of my lore for all my characters as well as links to their galleries (on Itaku).

Well, kinda! Unfortunately my page URL still uses caliburman, but I'm glad that it FINALLY says Lowen~Mothbat here.

I decided to shadowdrop my new monkey fursona, Kohen on April Fools. Figured it'd be fitting for a trickster character~

Don't worry, Lowen isn't going anywhere, he's still the star!

Happy Halloween, hope you enjoy the spooky spicy artwork~!

Let me know what you think of 'em!

Please for the love of god, follow me anywhere else but here. Mods are married to UP 2.7 despite how no one likes it.

■ Itaku
• https://itaku.ee/profile/lowen_mothbat
This is my MAIN gallery. Everything I upload will go here. It's an actually good gallery site.

■ Bluesky
• https://bsky.app/profile/lowenmothbat.bsky.social
My social media. It will get most of my uploads as well, more than FA will most likely.

LESS THAN A MONTH SINCE THE LAST TIME FA DID SOMETHING DUMB

Once again, here's other places I post just in case some FA mod decides to randomly ban me, like they're banning others.

The other social media

If there's a particular OC character of mine that you wanna see more art/stories of whether it be vore, paws, nsfw, sfw, ect...PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

I always wanna hear what people wanna see.

Yeah, so it goes without saying that FA is not a stable platform, and I've honestly not been happy with it's changes since last year so I've been branching out to other locations. I highly recommend following me on Itaku.

Unfortunately, Twitter is too large for me to not use. I honestly hate it, but there's no way to avoid it until people actively decide to stop using it.

I also upload to Bluesky! It gets the same stuff as Twitter

Happy VoreDay (8/8) Everyone! Gonna be posting a bunch of noms in the next few hours~! *



*Via postybirb, I'm actually asleep right now~

It goes without saying that without him, FA wouldn't have existed. I may never have decided to delve into the furry fandom like this. I might not have met the wonderful people in my life without this place.

There's a lot of words to say, and I'm not the best at them, so I'll just say...

Rest in peace Dragoneer.

It's my birthdayyyyy~

Leveled up to 32

Happy VoreDay everyone! As the day goes on, there are quite a few uploads going up!

I've gone and updated every characters' bio here with short mini bios and links to their new full bios up on my personal website!

I've also uploaded a few reference images that I've been meaning to upload here for a while. They've been up on Itaku for about a week, so if you wanna see anything I upload early (and a few exclusives that might never show up on FA because of the new rules), check it out~

https://itaku.ee/profile/lowen_mothbat

Due to changes in FA's ruleset, FA will no longer be my main gallery website. For the moment, I'm not going to totally abandon FA. There's always a chance the mods might not decide to fuck things up, but FA is going to be lower priority.


Going forward, my Itaku page will be my main gallery
• https://itaku.ee/profile/lowen_mothbat
I really like how the site functions. It's basically a nicer version of FA with all the features FA claims they're working on but aren't.

My characters, lore and writing will be featured on my personal website, "Lowen's Hub"
• https://lowenmothbat.weebly.com/

Twitter will likely see a boost in uploads in the future, and for better or worse, I check it daily
• https://twitter.com/Lowen_Mothbat

Also for any other places I might be, check my linktree
• https://linktr.ee/lowen_mothbat

 Loom made some cool tools that'll help you download your gallery and reupload it to other art sites. I can confirm that it works with Itaku at the very least. Check it out!

It's been over a month since I sent my Trouble Ticket in Day 1 of the announcement and mods haven't gotten back to me. So fuck it. I'm not takin' anything down. I know what my characters are, and they definitely aren't minors. I know mods have run up to other artists and wrongfully claimed their characters/artwork are minors/adjacent, but no one agrees with that sentiment.

I put too much time and effort into writing my characters and world-building to have someone show up and tell ME that I'm wrong about my own characters and that I've been posting children. How fucking insulting is that? It hasn't happened to me yet, but I won't be surprised when it does.

Once again, just in case here's my personal website: https://lowenmothbat.weebly.com/

And my other locations: https://linktr.ee/lowen_mothbat

It's been a long time but after several months of work my personal website is finally live!

■ Lowen's Hub ■

It has tons of features that'll help anyone keep tabs of all of my characters!
• Every character's bio has been re-written and updated!
• Every page has links for ease of access
• Glossary for terms and details
• Links to everyone's FA galleries on their respective pages (will be Itaku galleries in the future because of FA's UP 2.7)

Speaking of Itaku, I'm going to start uploading some older artworks onto Itaku and Twitter. Maybe somewhere else listed on my linktree as well.
• https://itaku.ee/profile/lowen_mothbat
• https://twitter.com/Lowen_Mothbat
• https://linktr.ee/lowen_mothbat

FA will likely get less uploads in the future due to UP 2.7. Very cool, moderation team.

With everything going on, I'm honestly pretty anxious about the future here. So just in case here's some places you can find me.

• https://twitter.com/Lowen_Mothbat (Active)

• https://itaku.ee/profile/lowen_mothbat (Will Upload Soon)

• https://pillowfort.social/Lowen_Mothbat (Not Currently Active)

• https://cohost.org/Lowen-Mothbat (Not Currently Active)

If for some reason my twitter gets nuked too (because that site is not stable at all), I'll make a message on Itaku

The new rules aimed towards Digimon are poorly thought out and don't apply well. This also applies to Pokemon (and various other species), but since most people will be championing for Pokemon, I'll focus more on the Digimon.

The FA moderation team has incorrectly listed Agumon, Veemon, Impmon, and Gatomon as child-like without listing reasons why, despite claiming there will be no species-wide bans previously. None of those Digimon are child-coded or even child proportioned. They are simply two small small lizards, an imp, and a cat in a cartoony style. If someone genuinely believes Agumon is a "child" I would like to point them to Commandramon. Commandramon is a clearly adult soldier Digimon that looks IDENTICAL to Agumon proportionally.

It feels like UP 2.7 was written by someone with insufficient knowledge of Pokemon or Digimon to make such an extreme call as to ban some of them and simply went on "vibes." While the "compromise" is to change the proportions of the mons, whoever suggested it doesn't realize that it just doesn't work. You cannot simply change the proportions of these Digimon. If you stretch out Impmon, it stops being an IMP. Also, if Impmon is banned, does this mean all imps and similarly proportioned creatures like goblins are banned? Impmon's proportions are similar to Midna, albeit she has more curves. Does that mean she is banned as well, despite her popularity?

Agumon, Veemon, Gatomon, and Impmon all share proportions with Animal Crossing characters. Does this mean that ALL Animal Crossing characters such as Isabelle are suddenly childlike in stature and need to be banned? Or Yoshi? Aggretsuko? Cult of the Lamb?

The line drawn is inconsistent and is targeting for a problem that just isn't there. What is the point of arbitrarily picking these popular characters that don't even fall under the 1000 vampire loli trope? They are simply just small and cute. There's only one Digimon I can think of that DOES invoke this trope and it's Lucemon, and only when he isn't in Falldown Mode or Satan Mode.

Pokemon, Digimon, and other monster races are simply NOT compatible with the way humans (and other animals) age and cannot be put into the same metric for judgement. This rule fundamentally doesn't understand how Pokemon and Digimon work and, whether intentional or not, UP 2.7 has called anyone who draws/commissions NSFW with the mons listed in it as fetishizing minors. It has also lead to harassment from people using UP 2.7 as an excuse to call those who are upset about it "pedophiles."

There is a reason why NO other NSFW furry artsite bans the posting of specific Pokemon or Digimon. Only FurryLife.Online banned certain Pokemon/Digimon/Ferals. They no longer exist because everyone left. This is the situation FA is in now. The mod team surely has seen the hundreds of journals of users leaving, the infinite trouble tickets, and the immense backlash on FA, Discord, and Twitter. Faith in the moderation team is at an all time low. As it stands, there's no way to push UP 2.7 through without tearing the userbase apart. It is fundamentally flawed at its CORE due to the moderation team focusing more on "solving a loophole" that didn't really exist instead of listening to what the userbase actually wants.

Ideally, now would be a good time to listen to users asking for it to be repealed and focus on rebuilding trust with the community. As a helpful starter, focusing efforts towards a tag blacklist would be far more helpful to the userbase as a whole than UP 2.7, as any user who feels uncomfortable with Pokemon/Digimon content (and honestly, it wouldn't be this. It would be FAR more extreme content) can simply filter it out. I've already suggested to a moderator to consider working alongside the developer of FilterAffinity when it comes to working on a blacklist.

Fa discord server has opened a channel in 6h slowmode, with the purpose to allow their users to voice your feedback about the rule change and better solutions to protect the minors here.

So, FA continues to make the worst possible decisions. It seems like Digimon content is just gonna be unfairly punished for no real reason, so...spending so much time working on my Digimon setting was wasted here. I'm likely gonna focus more on uploaded elsewhere unless things change.

My twitter: https://twitter.com/Lowen_Mothbat

I'll keep you posted on where else I upload as things develop. Hopefully mods will roll this garbage change back, but who knows.

Way to fucking shoot yourself in the foot FA. Right before I was gonna start posting again too. Been working hard to get my Digimon stuff live.

Can you stop making shitty decisions for 5 seconds?

I might genuinely need to move to another site because I'm not gonna just stop using characters I put a lot of care into because they aren't tall.

Okay, so remember when I say I was gonna upload something once a week at the beginning of the year? Then proceeded to upload nothing for half a year? Yeah, I'm really sorry about that everyone... I do plan to upload soon and fix this.

I intend to (try) to start uploading twice a week starting in June probably. Probably on Tuesday and Fridays? Also twitter will get an upload on Thursday of something that's already on FA. Throwback Thursday or something like that!

Also I think I mentioned it before but I've been hard at work on a personal website for my writing, characters, and lore so they can all be seen at once easily. It's VERY close to being good enough to publicly launch, but it needs a bit of touch ups. Hoping to have it done in time for the June uploads too.

Heya everyone! Today's my birthday! I don't have any plans or anything, but I did wanna put up a journal here and also put a general update since I've...been very quiet this year and kinda failed at my new years resolution to upload stuff 💦

I've done some minor changes in my personal life that should hopefully help with my mental heath and allow me to focus enough to start posting again. I hope to start uploading soonish!

I figure I should let people know what my goals are since I don't communicate enough!

■ Weekly Posts
• I'm not making any promises, since it's been difficult in the past, but a major goal of mine is to start posting at least ONE image/story a week. I don't like that I go months without posting, only to drop 10+ images, then disappear again. It's not really fun for you guys and it doesn't really aid engagement.

■ Alternate Upload Locations
• I'm still trying to figure other places to upload. I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket, in case FA explodes for whatever reason. I do dual post on twitter, but twitter isn't a very good site for viewing artwork. I'm considering Itaku, Pillowfort, and maaaaybe Cohost and Mastodon? Probably would only settle on two of them, so it would be FA, Twitter, and two more.

■ Personal Website
• I think I'm going to set up a personal website so there's a very easy way for people to view my characters and read their lore. I'll likely keep the website SFW, so vore and NSFW stuff would still be elsewhere...maybe? Might have sta.sh links to NSFW on the site maybe? Unsure.

■ More Characters
• I know what you might be thinking. "Lowen, you have SO many characters already!" Well, that's true but the thing is...my passion is character creation and worldbuilding. I simply can't help but create more. So I'm thinking about indulging myself with more tertiary characters that might get a little bit of art or a story, and that's about it. Characters that exist in my settings, but aren't important at all. You guys deserve to see my passion, instead of the bare minimum.
