Where do Europeans post their stuff to get noticed? France, Belgium, Germany etc.

Do they flock to Twitter too? Or do they use some obscure website most of us don't know about? You hardly ever see them "making it" online but that surely couldn't simply be just because of the language barrier. They have to be posting somewhere.

The userbase is a toilet that never improves. the only thing that you can do is build up thousands of followers, make money off of them, and ignore their messages because it's probably a hastily written note for a request.

I'll try it again after half a year, probably, of studies so my art is significantly more advanced than it was, and see if my second attempt won't be a waste of time.

But anything less than thousands of watchers is a waste of time. Don't make my mistake.

Probably people won't stop avoiding it because a site with 1 success strategy and entitled 'fans' isn't very likable.

Da is fine. You have to understand that a good chunk of the people who follow you are not active followers, the same with those who give you a "llama"; they do it so that you follow them back or that you review their profile, there is also a small piece of people who visit to see if you make requests.
Then you should consider the people who visit you in the graph of visits to the page, and remove the amount that visits you randomly. The same with the followers, it could be like a third less, even half, depending on your content, because the one you follow does not ensure that, in fact, they click on your publication when it appears in your correspondence, many will only eliminate the publication if the miniature does not appeal to them, just as they do with the dozens of other artists and groups that follow.

DA is still great, its pretty much the only decent site of this type where amateur and professional artist alike can co-exist comfortably. Artstation is good if you're a professional concept-artist wanting to show off your work to attract jobs but DA is nice because it pretty much has anything and everything both good and bad but that's what I like about it, there is an unpretentious and inviting aspect of DA which makes it popular, the variety on DA is also staggering if your willing to find it.

CONSIDER THIS:

What is DA good for?

1. If you want to create your personal portfolio in an easy to browse and visually appealing, organized way.

2. To connect to artists you admire and get advice, if they´re nice enough to talk to you (like everywhere else desu)

3. If you´re just in for the stats to boost your ego or if you want to live of DA comissions and DA points for some reason, then you should pay 5 bucks a month and bloat up your own frontpage with numerous faggy widgets and bait people to visit it.

4. Even the biggest loser can get countless views and subs by simply spam-faving and subbing whoever pops up on the DA frontpage or by buying this shit at DAhub (group). Yay! You´re a superstar now!

5. It´s a good training ground for you to grow and show your progress, since the community is relatively friendly most of the time.

What is DA not good for?

1. If you expect to upload mediocre art and by some miracle you´ll get tons of views and meet new friends, then good night, sweet Prince. Even very skilled artists that don´t promote their art can starve there and barely get noticed at all if they don´t advertise it enough or share it in groups etc...

2. Making a living or going there for the cash is not very smart if you´re not a very talented guy that could easily work as a graphic designer or is somehow famous. The competition is huge and there will be countless faggots that give away their shit for free or at least cheaper than you. Also, they´re probably even better than you.

I have spoken.

Tumblr isn't actually that bad at the moment (All of the sjw shit starters have moved onto Twitter at this point) but I wouldn't depend on it for socializing with other artists or making connections, it's great for making a portfolio through. Artstation is pretty great and the "skill barrier to entry" is not as high as people on /ic/ would have you believe, you are also more likely to be contacted by companies and actual professionals there but you have to be REALLY good in order for either one to give a shit about you.

Is good for gain a fan base people. In fact all depends on what shit are you drawing. I can only speak from my personal experience. But I understand that several people who use Da also use other websites, which can eventually spread your work in one way or another, for example if you draw girls suggestive or naked, it is very likely that if you aim well some people start to upload for you your work to rule34, gelbooru, sankaku, e62, or similar, of course you can do all that work for yourself (what you should), but the fact that other people upload it for you is not a bad sign, and also you can upload your work in places you did not know, and add them to your list. For example once they uploaded one of my drawings to knowyourmeme, and i did not even know that now images of any topic other than "memes" are uploaded there.

In the long run it is like any other site that should be on your list, yes or yes. Because not having one is idiot and everyone can give you a small amount of followers.

Newgrounds found their niche and warped their rules for posting around it. I once tried posting some glitch art there but was removed for they were deemed "too photographic"

Some of the mods of the art portal have spoken out against tho so maybe there's hope. Still, the portal's bbs is just as cancerous as dA.

While this is tehnicaly right, you are wrong to advise people to avoid ArtStation. If anything, ArtStation as a concept is antithesis to DeviantArt and I'm saying this as someone who's had dA account for 10 years.

It was really fucking a bitch to dig trough dA's front page shit to find truly good artists because they were mostly somewhere below all of the fetish and fandomy crap.

dA worked mostly in favor of those who ammased popularity in early days or in favor of those who abused categories to hit front page easier (like, submitting artwork under ''wallpaper'' or customization because those categories are the least saturated with submission). Even in popular categories, your exposure is dependent of how many views your work has. You can have 200 likes on your artwork but if you only have 250 views then it means shitfuck. 100 first artworks on dA's front page all have minimum of 1000 views. And lo behold everything is fetishy art (there's even more inflation than few years back... at least certain bear is happy with that)

What surprised me pleasantly about ArtStation is how their 'front page' functions. I submited artwork last day of last year and while I admit it's painting of a popular video game character, people took liking to it (I did work some time on it), and it took 2-3 days to build up likes, however when you break treshold of around 200 likes (this is my estimate) it started appearing on community page, where you usually see the best of the best. Almost month later, I still regulary get likes and follows for it, because my painting appears randomly there from time to time.

So, my answer/question to this discussion would be, if you regulary browse ArtStation for inspiration, why not join it? I see no other reason than being afraid you'll get lost under all of ''muh professionals''.

Cont. of above comment because I hit limit:

I'm not suggesting to avoid dA completely because it's good for beginners, but with what I've observed it's rly not what it used to be.

I mean in the end people are mostly driven ti view/like fan art and this is true in all of cases, but it seems ArtStation is doing far better job in giving needed exposure than dA ever did.

These would be my 2 cents.

It's funny, because I recently got my one and only online commission request from a person on DeviantArt. Made $30 off it. Not much but I do have a real job making real money too, so it was nice. Granted it took me nearly a decade for someone to finally commission me.

All in all, fuck DeviantArt. I use it to get traction for the audiences I appeal to and hopefully send them towards my other platforms.

Let's go guys, hopefully your good art will get noticed way more with this :
- FORUMS : Post your stuff in the forums A LOT (go to thumbshare & as soon as you see a thread related to your work,no question => share.). Create threads as well : preferably threads that invite a lot of people to share their work with something a bit specific ("share 5 of your best DBZ super fanart" or "share your 1 of your best art & 1 of your best favourites").
If you find a thread in the complaints subsection that interests you, comment & debate. Interacting with others & appearing as a smart deviant will get you followers too!

- GROUPS : as soon as you post art, put all the necessary tags relevant to it (SEO) & after that, hunt for the most groups related to it! Example : I just drew Mario. I'll go to the group page, find the most groups where I can share Mario & Nintendo stuff, and I'll submit art en masse. (some groups force you to join, but it's not a problem if there's less than1000 members)
- If you get points => daHub. (this will make you featured based on the amount of points you give)

That's it for now. If you ask me, I have a very varied gallery with digital paintings & pixel art of tons of different characters (from Pacman to Kratos), everything submitted to its fandom-related groups & I get views without ever doing nsfw stuff/artwhoring myself.

I've had a DA account for like 8 years and I'm pretty decent and have made a career from art but I've only got like 5,000 views. I think that's why DA is dying; it's not like Artstation where being good is enough to get noticed. To be relevant on DA, you have to spend a lot of time trolling for views: drawing fanart, liking and faving other people's stuff and requesting that they reciprocate, posting on their forums, etc.

DA is too social-media oriented. You won't get views unless you really hustle for them. Similar problem with Tumblr, and I think a similar thing happened to Conceptart.org when it started getting really popular. Professional artists don't want to hobnob with amateurs who are always bugging them for crits or lessons; they just want to post their art, get noticed by employers, and get jobs. DA doesn't offer that so it's relegated to being a dumping ground for Sonic fanart and OCs.

>lots of shit you just said isn't true.

It's dying all right, because it's dominated by shit artist. Not only that but there's tons more shit on that site that isn't even art (drawing/painting) There's photographs of chicks and shit like that to the point of it being cluttered as fuck. It's a terrible site that needs to die.

ArtStation generally has good art without needing to look hard to find some, while Deviantart feels like you need to bath in the shit to find something that's somewhat decent.

I do this but I can't find any deviantart like bots. It's time consuming but I'll just put a bunch of crap into a labelled folder to attract potential watchers and only put stuff I genuinely like in my favorites.
If anyone does know of an actual bot to run for favorites please share

I remember that somebody wrote a Tampermonkey script to boost the viewcount, if you need this to show your friends that you´re a popular artist or whatever. Testruns said it gained them around 100 views per hour.

It should be working similar to other bots that refresh the page and get feeded with a proxy list to appear as a new user everytime. Don´t be too greedy, I´m sure it might gains attraction if you jump from 10 views a week to 2400 a day.

Where to find? Google for "deviantart bot" or script, viewbot, bla-bla-bla, I´m not in the mood for spoonfeeding today, sorry.

You won't get negative comments, but you won't get noticed either. I have a fairly sizable following on ArtStation for the art I do that's in my professional field and I get a lot of likes and comments on it, so I know I have an audience. When I post my non-professional art, which isn't bad by any means but also isn't at the level my professional stuff is, I get just a fraction of the response.

For someone with no established audience, it might be difficult to really take off on ArtStation before you get more technical skills.

I just don't understand. Maybe it's time to give up.

I truly and really do not understand.
