Is there some sensible way to write alt texts for artwork? I've tried to add them, but they get crazy long and I give up before I get through.

Speaking specifically of the lewd and pretty hard to make sense of pictures I deal with. Is a description thereof even useful?

@MinkOfTheEnd The usual suggestion is to write what you would say to explain it to someone over the phone

@Felthry Hmm, explain it with what goal? If I want to describe it to someone who's just asking what I drew is a very different conversation than describing it to get the other side to reproduce it, for example.

@MinkOfTheEnd I would say describing it to someone who's asking what you drew. Don't go into too much detail unless someone asks
