🌱ANother new ARtsite [itaku] to find me

Posted by Uluri - January 29th, 2022


Itaku: https://itaku.ee/profile/uluri


The last site i shared I had to drop immedietly because they censored a lot of nsfw content (most of which I draw), This one is the exact opposite and as long as its art, its there. SO, here's for round..... five? Round five on new art sites I want to try out? I spent the entire day yesterday Looking itaku over and playing with things. I think I have a good feel of it now, and can give my thoughts on this site's features and content.


Postybirb-able 
Itaku is available to be posted from via postybirb (which is how I found interest in it). This is already an extreme boon for a site, because it can be real hard to manage new sites at first. 


Advance User Content Control: more than just Tag Filters
I think this site showcases by far one of the best content control set ups I've seen yet. It's not just a Blacklist they give, but you can adjust what ratings you see on about every type of individual browsing page (including your own profile). This gives each individual user so much control of their own browsing experiences. There is also tag suggestions, too, to help get more accurate tags. The only -1 in their control settings is that tags encompass all ratings and can't be set for a certain rating like on weasyl. But I am still rather impressed.


Freedom of Content: Sfw, Questionable, NSFW, NSFL
So far, this is a site with extreme freedom of what sort of artistic content you can post. There is no theme banned in art in their Upload Policies. Nothing. As such, they have 4 ratings of sfw, questionable, nsfw, and nsfl (not safe for life), so this kind of gives me the confidence they don't plan to up and ban random content from this site for being squicky or commonly disliked. 


18+ alt profile area (After Dark profile)
I've never really thought about how handy that would be until i flipped it on and thought about how i'd fill it out. Finally, a section where I can list the fetish themes I'd draw without having to upload a submission to lock behind a rating. I can see it being useful for people who like to ERP, too.


Multiple Design Themes
There are 4 themes available, which is great because i personally think the default theme is  a little bleh. Here's my opinions on the themes. 1: Ugly Grey and Yellow This is the default theme and I think its butt ugly 2: Deep Blue and Yellow that is #1's better looking twin brother 3: Deep Blue and Blue that is their even hotter cousin 4: Twin tailed Bubblegum lolita. It's cute. It's Bright. It's a change of pace from the other three family members who are in their goth phase


Customization
This is lacking on this site. The most is filling out your profile, Icons, and Banner. Seems they're going to add markdown eventually, but there is not really any custom coding for you to do in the text fields yet.


Commissions/Auctions/Adopt Zone
Both on your profile, and in the browsing there are areas specifically for Commissions. This is EXCELENT. Folks will not have to deal with the art areas being spammed with ads. There is a WHOLE ZONE just for it. That's flipping amazing. Bravo, itaku, you have created a very good feature here.


Favorites
No Area to archive the art you faved exists. Sad. I like looking back at what i fav. i guess its okay....


Gallery/Uploads
Artwork and Videos here! Though you can also write a post for stories/literature, too, but its under "+post" and not +literature. Guess what has Folders? This place does! And you can put one art in multiple folders.


Community
Dunno, I only joined a day ago. 


The one thing I think is a Downside, but could just be personal preference
Similar to Newgrounds, you do not need to be logged in to view 18+ content. You get prompted for confirming you are 18+, but I personally prefer art sites that lock viewing 18+ content behind account login. This is mostly for the sake of share-ability of one's own profile. I don't particularly like sharing art accounts that would let my... lets say parents... see the shit i draw. This will not be a site I will be handing to people as a first impression type. It'll be a "linked on my profile/description only" type of site instead. Some folks like this way of display access, and that's all good and fine. 


Final Thoughts
I actually quite like how things are set up here. Freedom to post content is a huge deal on art sites right now. I'll see as time goes on how it grows. I have a very positive opinion so far, even with lack of customization.
