Does anybody have any suggestions for software that makes the tagging process easier and faster? I've been uploading pictures for an artist and they have QUITE the repertoire of pieces for me to get through, so anything that expedites the process helps.

I can't think of anything, nor can I think of a way it could reliable be even partially automated. Since every post is tagged individually, not based on other posts in a series or set, each image needs to be tagged individually. Trying to automatically share tags between posts would be error-prone if some details only appear in some pages, and if you're more focused on validating a preset set of tags you can end up missing obvious relevant stuff to add tags for, so each would need to be done one at a time anyway.

The best I could give you is if you're uploading several images in a row, find any common tags they all share and copy/paste them for each
Yeah like Nintendope said, try to group images with common tags, write them and paste accordingly, still check if they do match and add their own unique tags if they have their own elements like speech bubbles, internal views, etc...
It's a bit annoying but I would recommend putting the year of the pieces, it helps later both for someone checking their art progression but also easier to check if something was uploaded already...
Also if that artist makes/has made several pieces for any one particular character, those are the prime candidate for the copy/paste strategy for uploading consecutively

Since there is sometimes confusion, I'll clarify that the year should reflect the image's creation, not necessarily when it was posted publicly (they can often be the same, but especially if the artist has a delayed release from a paysite, or for images posted early in the new year, it can be different; personally I only tag a date if it's marked on the image, or if it's stated in the source description).

Yeah I've basically been doing that. The year part is super easy because I already have everything organized into files by year, guess I'll just grit my teeth and deal lol

Unfortunately that's all you can do lol
I know that there are server-side tagbots that can add a few tags automatically when you upload but I don't know which ones they add

From what I saw it's technical things such as absurd_res and all that

Calling it a bot is a misnomer, it's just some code slaping on tags based on the attributes of the image as it's uploaded, not any separate process handling the post
It can automatically add these tags:

For those, sure, but there's also the Pup tagbot that really is a bot, adding tags that involve visual image processing. I suspect this is what they were referring to.
