For those that use tumblr, what free themes do you guys know of? Which do you use? What do you often see in art-related tumblrs? What are some good art tumblrs you know of?

I didn't think it would take all day to make this thing but my theme editor seems really slow and won't update the backgrounds I want. It doesn't even load all the posts properly. =_=

It's been a while since I browsed through the free themes, but I use Effector for my webcomic's tumblr :

https://www.tumblr.com/theme/17403

I like it a lot because it has a lot of easy options to customise and make it look nice without having to dig into the code -- you can set the sidebar on the left or right, or hide it altogether, you can set the content width of posts to 500, 600, or 700 pixels depending on what makes your art look best (I really don't like it when blogs stretch the art so it's too huge for the screen), there's a spot in the basic options to replace the blog title with a custom header image so people can see your art right away, etc. etc.

(my personal tumblr on the other hand is a mess atm so I'm probably gonna watch this thread for good suggestions too xD )

I was looking for a good tumblr theme for a long while and then I found Glossy Mag! I use it for my main art tumblr and my personal tumblr.
There's lots of things you can customize for it too. I wanted a gallery type set up to show off my art and tiling was a big must-have for me. The problem I found with a lot of themes that tiled posts was that the posts would sometimes glitch out and overlap each other, not so with Glossy Mag! Everything loads correctly and works just fine. I love this theme.

Yeah, the themes I tried kept glitching out too. I'll give this one a shot.

That tardigrade post was hilarious haha.

Ok I think I'm kind of happy with this one. I liked the scrolling navigation and the tiling in Glossy Mag but I liked how this theme had a link for deviant art. Although I do wish I could group posts by tag... ah well.

EDIT: nvm, I figured it out =D
