I'm happy to announce that after a couple years of putting it off I finally sat down and uploaded my art to an online archive.
The archive has everything I've ever produced going back to 2015. Every commission, every piece of original work, every Halloween Spook'Em, even a lot of assorted tumblr doodles. There's a lot of stuff that has not been posted online since my old tumblr, and a number of pieces that have never been posted before period. 1.2 GB of art, over 1000 images! All of it in glossy high-res!
This is something I've wanted to do ever since everyone abandoned tumblr a few years ago. Without a centralized space to post my work I've been feeling kind of adrift, unmotivated to work on anything other than commissions or paycomics because it feels like I'm just throwing anything I make into a constantly moving stream where it's immediately forgotten. I'm hopeful that now that I have a more complete archive of my work I'll feel more comfortable posting more original content again.
Going forward, I will continue to keep the Mega gallery up-to-date, but I will still be posting in all the usual spaces too, here's a quick FAQ going over a few more details and hopefully answering any questions folks might have.
FAQ
Q: Will you still post to DeviantArt/Furafinity/Twitter/etc...?
A: Yes, though going forward I may not post everything, and in fact I may start deleting stuff. My plan is to treat DA/FA/Twitter more like curated gallery spaces, while the Mega will act as the main archive. If I do decide to start purging art I'll make another dedicated post about it, and everything will always be available in the archive.
Q: Why stop at 2015?
A: A number of reasons, the main one being that I consider 2015 to be when my current art style began to develop, so it felt like an appropriate place to stop (or start). Past 2015 my art starts to get a little... rough...
I also didn't actually start exporting high-res files until 2015-2016. Posting older work would mean going back to the old .psd files and re-exporting everything. Not an insurmountable obstacle, but just a lot of monotonous busy work. I may add more years in the future, but for now it's 2015. I mean, it's still 1000+ images, give me a break here.
Q: Will the sketchdumps be added to the Mega gallery?
A: Possibly, but again maybe not until a later date. While I like the idea of having everything in one place, I also like the idea of guilting people into throwing me a few bucks for the sketchdumps.
Q: Will the comics be added to the Mega gallery?
A: No. You still need to buy those. All the promo material is there though.
Q: I've gone through the whole gallery and there's art missing?!
A: If there's anything missing then it's likely in one of the sketchdumps, or it's from before 2015 (see above). There are also a very small handful of original works I decided not to post for personal reasons. Eagle eyed viewers may notice a couple missing numbers in the file names for commissions, those are just jobs that were cancelled mid-way through, and will also not be posted.
If there's anything missing that doesn't fall into one of the above categories then I'm afraid it's been lost to time. Or it may be on my old tumblr.

Whoah thank you, that's a lot of stuff and I'm sure I haven't seen quite some of it!
Um... you sure about the cuttoff though? I mean some of your older works are still holding up well, it would be nice to have a separate folder with at least some works you find worth preserving.
EDIT: also may I suggest putting archive link on your FA profile bio/description too? In case you put another announcement/journal or something.

Noiche! Thank you for sharing all that BSB!
It's interesting to me that some of my favorites of yours are so old. I guess they've really stood the test of time! There were some newer ones I hadn't seen, also, and they're great! You do toon transformations and plushification so well!
