Websites To Use For Posting Art Instead Of Deviantart(or twitter or instagram they're all equally garbage.) Written In A Passive Aggressive Tone

NOTE: WEBSITES ARE ONLY DEAD IF YOU KEEP REFUSING TO USE THEM. THE ART COMMUNITY KEEPS BEING HANDED NEW SITES TO TRY AND KEEPS NITPICKING FOR EXTREMELY PETTY AND NOT REALLY MATTERING REASONS SO I'M NOT TRYING TO WRITE OUT THESE LISTS AND BE NICE ANYMORE'

BE THE SOLUTION OR STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT TWITTER/DA

Tumblr: People left when adult content was banned, but the art community very much stayed thriving. With porn addicts relegated to other sites because to them, a website is unusable if there's no porn, you've got a place to be squeaky clean and not weird on for once. Feed in chronological order. if you contribute to the cringe here I hope you cant afford a new computer when it comes for you.

Newgrounds: allows adult content, really no room for twitter discourse and back and fourth squabbles, feed in chronological order. Use it.

Artfol: app only currently,website is in beta, chrono order. Literally has art in the name. allows adult content i think, probably, has a custom page for commissions

itaku: custom galleries, allows adult content, has a custom page for comissions. Closest thing to deviantart, go to following selection to see chronological order

pixiv: avoid going tag digging. just post. avert your eyes. do not listen to what they whisper. Feed in chronological order

youtube: okay hear me out youtube shorts you could just post short doodle reels to and get views since youtube is promoting short form content and because it's not tiktok it's good, go to your subscribers page to see things in chronolgoical order

tiktok: okay hear me out tiktoks you could just post short doodle reels to and get views since tiktok is for short form content and because it's not youtube it's good

pillowfort: its tumblr but without the undesirables and allows 18+ content. Porn addicts rejoice! I use it.

companies underestimate how much locking their content behind needing an account will just make me go do something else. oh your website wants me to make an account to view this content? oh your website doesn't show media to logged-out users? okay. i didn't actually want to see it that bad. yeah. bye ✌️

#twitter #trb.txt #websites need to realize that they are not a fandom artist i follow posting cropped art screenshots with a link to a spicy paetrom tier!!! #websites just do not have that draw!!!!! #welcome to me falling asleep posting hour where i empty my entire brain into the internet before falling asleep.

Do you know about my free web based sketch app that rotates random pose references? 🤔

It's called AdorkaStock Sketch and you can access it on desktop or mobile. It will adjust to fit your screen! On mobile you can scroll down to see the options.

There are currently just over 2,000 poses in rotation with more coming. You can change the timer, skip poses, sort with filters, or try predefined class modes.

The site is completely free and thanks to my Patrons I was recently able to remove third-party ads! If you turn off your ad blockers while using the site you will only see my own ads.

You can also make a free account which will allow you to collect a favorites list and set sketching goals.

Please check it out and use it as often as you need to for pose browsing, gesture warm ups, or long drawing sessions (just hit pause on any pose!) Hope it's super useful for you. Happy drawing! 🎨✨

alternative websites/social media for artists?

so instagram pulled up another change and now recent posts are gone all together from tags which makes it impossible to find new small artists and even though artists are pushing against this change i doubt instagram will go back

are there any websites social media that are recommended for artists? everything seems to be going to shit

Yearly reminder to everyone trying to find alternatives to tumblr/social media in general: go make a Neocities account and teach yourself basic HTML and post your art/writing/shitposts there.

It does take extra time to set up (but there are templates out there!) but it is so so worth it to have a site that is 100% YOURS!

You don’t even have to be that good at coding. I’m not. My site is not very accessible via mobile devices but that is fine with me (keeps me off my phone) but there are plenty of ways to make your site mobile friendly. There are plenty of bare bones/accessible sites I adore purely for the media on it.

Imagine having your site on your phone and showing someone- hey! I coded this from scratch. And I didn’t even have to pay a company like squarespace. All your images, links, writings, in one place. I have my fandom edits, memes, fanart, and custom graphics there.

Neocities has a very bare bones follower and comment system, but you can disable this if you want your site to truly abstain from any social media-isms. I use it because its a great way to meet other webmasters and get help with coding problems. Neocities isn't an exact replacement for Tumblr (no reblogging here) but html coding is an invaluable skill to know, as is keeping a personal website in this day in age.

The awesome thing about having your own website is if, god forbid, Neocities goes down, you can move your site to any other number of hosting platforms (like Teacake.org). Your site is truly YOURS, and no one else (shitty tech CEO cough cough) can take it away from you.

If you need help getting started, I recommend checking out sadgrl.online. (More links to resources in the comments section of this post).

I know neocities has been talked about before, especially within my follower circle, but I thought I'd bring it up again for anyone unaware of this awesome platform.

As fun as it is to make fun of returning tumblr users, I’m actually surprised to see quite a lot artists coming back to test the waters and post their art on here again eventhough they’ve lost all momentum on here and/or naturally lost most of their followers because of the drought of activity. 

If you see an artist you haven’t seen post in awhile and they post their new art on here. Please give them a reblog and not just a like for their work. 

#I know most artists prefer twitter still because that's where all the people are simply at #but giving them confidence in seeing tumblr as an alternative website again is what will keep tumblr actually alive #gae-bolg writes shit

Crowdfunding yet again 🫠

hello I will try to be brief,my sister is disabled and recently she got horrible news from her doctor that her reflexes have gotten worse,which means she will one day probably become paralyzed unless something is done(also her chronic pain is pretty severe rn which is another bad sign).now they want her to do a bunch of exams + physical therapy+ maybe new medication??we are looking at a bill close to 800€ tho honestly I dont know what's going to happen.the first paragraph you see is nothing but blood work and allegedly we will be able to get those for free so that's a relief.But I'm convinced thats not going to be all I'm scared for what's going to happen to her,I'm scared she will need to have surgery.also long covid is still fucking with me so yeah I'm don't think I will ever find work at this point🫠but who knows maybe I will be fine one day.I'm going to ask for 1200€ just to be safe tho dont be surprised if the amount rises or drops because I again I don't know what to expect with this,the extra money is in case we do need to pay for extra exams,blood work or bills etc

Goodbye for now 15.feb.2024

#b00st #q #sorry if I'm not explaining her condition well I don't fully grasp it... #helpme #disability #I was looking at starting a proper crowdfund but the only website I found that works for my country...seems suspicious to me idk #Ive never seen anyone use it #commission info #help #queue #art #artists on tumblr #commission art #commission sheet #commissions are open

I cannot express enough that if your reaction, as a hobby artist, to not getting that many notes on your art is to say "maybe I should just stop doing art altogether" you need to stop posting art to tumblr

not necessarily forever, not even for long, but just stop putting your art on here and start doing it for you again, remember why you enjoyed doing art in the first place and stop relying on the attention of faceless people on the internet for your enjoyment of your hard work

believe me, I get it, nothing crushes the artistic soul quite like labouring for hours on a piece only for it to get like 10 notes, so you need to find your own source of joy in the act of creation and a lot of the time that means making art and not showing it to anybody

#not art #listen #for real #this is not about any one person because i've seen posts about it from a bunch of people #you think i post everything here? buddy i dont even post half my stuff here #every drawing you see is preceded by five more just like it #that never see my cursor close to the save button #i have a sketchbook i draw in regularly that i do'nt show to a single goddam person #i make cutout art from gels i steal from work and stick them to my windows and do paintings in my living room just for me #because that it the only way you are ever going to be able to retain your original love of art #is by doing it for the sake of doing it #not for the sake of seeing how many people stop and stare #anyways i'm sorry if this sounds terse #but i'm so sick of seeing artists put all their self-esteem and happiness in the hands of a blogging website #stop selling yourself short by measuring your self worth by how many reblogs you get and what people say in the tags #your artistry and your happiness are worth more than that #if you're an artist for a living that's another story #but even then #even then #anyways sorry i'm done ranting

also in the face of people deleting their blogs, that's another reason why you guys are supposed to reblog stuff. if somebody deletes a post, your liked version will disappear, but the reblogs remain. i'm insane about preservation and archival, every single piece of art i have ever enjoyed is reblogged on my 450k+ posts main account so if the artists leave I still have their work. i even tag things (though just with the main fandom tag) so I have years and years worth of fanworks saved that the terrible general site search will never show you.

please reblog art. not just to support the artists who make it and share their efforts, but also so you have your own copy of their works saved for yourself, and the future users of this site.

#reblog art #artist support #so basically if you dont reblog art i do not want to hear you complaining about your fav artists deleting and leaving lol #if you used this site like you were supposed to it would be at least Slightly less of an issue because you'd still have it all #save the shit you like!!! i never delete my art personally but i Want my art to be out there. just in case something happens to my blog #save my art. save everything. just dont upload it to entirely different websites like instagram cuz that makes u a prick #if your favorite artist deletes tomorrow. what evidence do you have that they were here at all? #reblog. for the love of god reblog #i lost so much great art from deviantart thanks to eclipse and the Al bullshit that i didn't save. but on tumblr i dont have to worry abt i
