I just came back to this site recently and it seems like it's turning to shit
Half the results for stuff I look up is AI sludge and it all looks like shit
Incredible choice for a site supposed to be about creativity to encourage and offer tools to automate away creativity
Yeah, it's pretty much impossible to find any new artists to follow and so much of the site is dedicated to getting people to pay for their shitty AI art that just rips directly from actual artwork on the site.
What are some good platforms? I keep forgetting sorry
Cara.app, no AI is allowed. I've been using it for a month now and the vibes over there are overwhelmingly positive and chill.
Depends what you like, Furaffinity is pretty good for that sort of stuff and pixiv is good for anime stuff, a lot of artists use twitter but it's twitter. Other than that, niche discords and forums are the only places I really know about these days, it's much, much smaller than it used to be.
doesn't pixiv have a massive pedo problem
I don't know. Probably does, I've only ever really dipped my toe in there, but I wouldn't be surprised, it's anime focused art site after all.
How's Art Station?
No idea, I don't use it. Seems like it is more a site for making and selling video game assets though?
