Hi everyone! Sooo I'm an NSFW / Fantasy Artist and I've got a problem: I've made way too much art since I started selling commissions 6 years ago, to the point where I now have 800+ individual illustrations, mostly YCHs.
I recently decided to start posting daily here, but it takes way too long to search through all the illustrations posted under my tag. I was wondering if I should just post them anyway even if they've been posted by a client years ago, or if that's an issue and I should check first. I'm still learning how to properly use the site, only recently I've learned about parent and child posts. Thank you in advance! >w<

Can you do a "similar images" search *before* you upload an image? I've used that feature before, but I wasn't aware that it could be used before an upload was submitted.

Yup! At the link Lafcadio posted, there's an option to upload an image from your computer specifically for that similar images search, without having to create a post.

Also keep in mind that even if one of your illustrations was already posted here, there is a chance that the file in your possession is superior to the one in the site (like png vs jpg or higher size), and so it may still be desirable for you to post it.
