kradeelavi'm beginning to understand why a lot of JP artists on pixiv and earlier post in "logs" (single-post but multiple-image collections of artworks in a fandom), as it's what i'm starting to default to in the new website blog.
mostly since it's so easy to post multiple images under a readmore (for example if they're nsfw, so people at least have one warning "click" before they run face-first into dicks or whatever. even when i'm on the extreme side of 'audiences online are not entitled to warning tags', i still like to extend that courtesy as long as it's not being abused, taken for granted, or doesn't interfere with creation).
since my tegalog gallery only shows the first image in the thumbnail, you can also use it to have the prettiest artwork first, and then the other sketches underneath added as a bonus. if the viewer likes the art enough to click on the thumbnail (eg, if the fandom brings them joy), then they get cute bonus of sketches, and if not, well, hopefully the thumbnail is pretty enough it isn't offensive to the eyes. you get something out of it either way?
it also more naturally connects with (my) rhythm of drawing for a fandom ... a few truly standout images and then oodles of silly character sketches and shitposts.
i'm thinking it might even be a crafty way to link to my new website on social media.... i always treated individual posts on social media as ephemeral, i delete those after a time, but then these new links to the website logs are more permanent? i guess what i'm trying to find out is a way of training people to be more comfortable with personal sites. much to think about.
