Since I'm seeing some posts about accessibility going around. Remember along with adding subtitles to your videos also add alt text to your images and art. I feel folks overlook alt text in particular.

How to add alt text on Tumblr.

I know some folks may struggle to add alt text due to their own disabilities. Don't be afraid to ask for assistance from friends or the community if you need it. There's many out there are willing to help you with writing alt text.

Same goes for subtitles.

But if you're able to add this stuff on your own, please add it! Folks will appreciate it because it'll allow to them to interact with your posts and videos.

Since folks asked for some help with knowing how add and write this stuff here's an add-on to this post!

In the original post I did link a post I did on how to add alt on tumblr and I talked a little bit on how to write alt text, but I didn't go into too much detail. I'm not an expert on this though so lemme instead share other resources!

Here's a list of links to other posts and sites that are helpful and go into more detail on adding alt text than I did:

For adding video captions here's some helpful links for that:

Bare minimum, try to properly credit me if you repost my artwork.

I mean this isn’t me giving the ok to repost. Ideally, I’d rather you share directly from me than repost. Or maybe ask for permission first. But if you’re just going to repost regardless, at least credit me, come on.

Of course if you commissioned artwork from me you don’t gotta ask to repost that. In that case as long you’re still following the terms of service you’re fine. Also gift art. I made that for you, pal.

Hey! Love your art! Do you do commissions or take requests for free every once in awhile?

Thank you! To answer your question, no, I don’t typically do free requests. But I do normally have paid art commissions open via my ko-fi. However currently they are closed so I can finish my current queue and take a small break.

I just want to emphasize I did not paint the bg in the jedi art for Penny. Like mentioned in the post itself, I inserted art I did onto the the already existing box art. The actual digital painting I did is Penny herself.

I thought this would obvious but I forgot folks may have not seen the original box art or skimmed what I wrote in the caption? Oops.

I had considered just posting a version with only her but it looks so much more cool when she has the box art bg as intended for her vod thumbnails.
