Not only is it painful to try and find get attention and support, I've had a few pics taken down for drawing characters as adults. All the while, countless other artists do the exact same thing but DON'T get punished, and they don't take down pictures that actively violate their own rules; hypocrisy, ladies and gentlemen!
Huh, didn't know they had such things going on over at DA too. Seemed more like the content regulation injustices you might find at Twitter and FB. Hopefully you don't run into any similar cases here. Usually it's the other way around, if characters aren't old enough...
The impression I've had with DA (from limited usage thereof - been a few years since I was there last now) is that it was a great place to find art, and photography - any form of amazing visual you might've wanted to see, but so much more difficult to actually reach through the haze and get people to see you. Not so much of a community aspect either. Felt like it was better for casual visitor than for the creator.
I do have a Twitter, but I HATE it. I don't get any likes or follows despite my best efforts, which I wouldn't mind so much if everybody else didn't get thousands and thousands of likes posting stupid crappy memes. And I don't even wan't to touch political drama there.
True that. Them politics in particular... I'm glad I never invested too much time in that place.
Anyway, I'm glad I found this place. People are a lot more friendly here.
Awesome to hear. Hope that impression sticks! And that NG not just a community but the greatest creative oasis of the Internet ages... still to this day is. :P
