#deviantart alternatives

[x-ac1d-tr1p-x]

i don't know what to post right now neither reblog but i found another deviantart alternative called zdiskuss and it screams old deviantart layout and spacehey layout vibes and god damn i wanna join that site but holy shit i haven't post my previous drawings on side7 and domotown yet, so many art sites to join and so little time... </3

ok so I've watched Izzyzz's video on DeviantArt's history and man, we need another site like that

one of the main reasons I came back to Tumblr is to actually search for communities of stuff I love and also ask blogs are hella fun

but I also wanna explore other alternatives SO I'll be trying these sites(list may grow as time passes):

Artfol

Site 7

and I'll write about my experience on them so maybe it'll come in handy for fellow artists!

If you know about any other desktop sites or apps targeted towards artists please let me know!

all updates on this will be posted on my art blog @mabinogion-artist and reblogged here on my main! Feel free to follow whichever

ohh my god. what the hell has deviantart done with their platform. AI-art?? seriously dude? i just started to take off just a little with my art on there even though it doesnt get much attention anyway. i might move here to post my art instead.

Deviantart Alternatives masterlist

Making this mainly as a way to keep track of what alternative options there are out there. These are by no means meant as comprehensive/thorough reviews.

Instagram (enjoyable except for the fact that theres p much zero options for organization. Oh and the staff running it suck and hate us apparently.)

Twitter (Not for me but I know a lot of people use it.)

Threads (Instagram's answer to twitter. P much only good for status updates and WIP's IMO.)

Tumblr (Classic option, very customizable and versatile. You can p much do whatever you want with it. I just personally prefer a folder format over a tag format for organization.)

Facebook (I mean blegh for me personally bc if you make an art page it apparently shows people that ur real name/personal account is linked to it but you do you.)

Buzzly.Art (Beta. Designed by users who left DA after eclipse rolled out. Very closely resembles classic DA in terms of layout and function. Plus the mascot is super cute. Though it does require your art to be 2 MB and under in order to post it, which means no PNG’s, which does knock it back a bit for me. Still, definitely a fav contender.)

Sheezy.Art (Beta. Awesome customization options and feels like what you’d get if DA and Tumblr had a baby. Another fave contender.)

Toyhouse (I use this more for storing character bios and lore than I do for art but I know some people use it that way. It just sucks you cant upload high quality PNG’s there.)

FurAffinity (site is very da-esque in its layout and works well. But with recent events given that the owner has passed away idk what the future of it looks like. Not saying you shouldnt go there if you want to but I’d approach with caution and make sure to have backups and keep up with the artists you like on other platforms.)

Inkblot (Beta. Nice layout but crazy glitchy and unstable to the point where I havent been able to access my account in ages so I stopped using it.)

Cara (Mobile. Instagram alternative. Def very popular and functions well. Havent used it enough to have a full opinion of it yet. I can say that it doesnt seem very well optimized for the iPad so that sucks.)

Artfol (Mobile. Instagram Alternative. Very cute and regularly updated with a nice community.)

Artstation (Made more for professionals and artists looking for work.)

Artspacious (Beta. Havent used it. Don’t know what stage of development it’s in. But it is there.)
