bAv-R34: I gotta admit, Flareponyta's gotten quite a bit of improvement ever since his debut less than three months ago. This was his first commission, apparently.
Once I get my DA back/start posting on IB, I could probably make the same progress...
Anonymous1: IB as in InkBunny? Is it decent, or is it really just FurAffinity 2.0? I'm considering to start posting somewhere too and at the moment IB seems like a less sucky host than most others.
Why are all art hosts are so terrible?
Roflcakes: @Gomenasai: IB really is 1000 times less sucky than FA. FA is a poorly designed shithole with terrible mods, but IB is actually a super decent art host.
Anonymous2(1): @Roflcakes: Really? That's good to know. All I want is just a place that doesn't have retarded policies against porn or foalcon like DA/tumblr, and with a nice interface that doesn't enforce image resolution limits and easy to navigate. IB has that all.
Pixiv is awesome and pretty much perfect imo, but feeling like an unwelcome baka gaijin I'm uncomfortable posting there.
Roflcakes: @Gomenasai: Yeah, I was gonna mention Pixiv; It truly is the best art host out there, but god... I almost feel bad seeing western artists post on there 'cause I just imagine all these angry, racist Japanese people scoffing at their INFERIOR WESTERN ART TECHNIQUES.
@Gomenasai: I believe the only thing IB doesn't let you post is humans (of any age). If I remember correctly, it's not even limited to just sexual situations either... you're just straight up not allowed to post humans. Definitely not the worst rule, considering how retarded FA has been over the last year or two, but still a bit annoying.
Anonymous4(1): @Roflcakes: Wait, what.. No humans? Well damn, that's a deal breaker. I do plan to do humans and otherwise non-furry characters, but I guess IB really is just a furry site. So close, SO close...
Roflcakes: @Gomenasai: Actually, I just read the rules and they read as follows:
"Human characters are permitted in artwork, however they must not appear in sexual situations and must not show genitals or sexual arousal."
So yeah, humans are fine, just so long as they're not having sex (wut). Why does it have to be so hard to find an art host without silly rules like this? I remember back in the day when FA let you post loli/shota all you wanted. Those were good days...
What do you think you're going to do, Gomen? Stick to booru sites?
Anonymous5(1): @deathstriker: HF is just for porn, right? I can already just post porn here.
@Roflcakes: Oh, that's how it is. Well that's better than nothing, I don't exactly plan to do tons of human porn anyway but it would help if I could.
Sure, I could choose several places for different purposes like most people do, but I just want to have everything in one place. Over the years I really got used to posting on image boards and boorus where I don't need to worry about rules and silly limits, so now finding a single good host is a whole lot of trouble.
Maybe I'll settle on IB after all, for now.
bAv-R34: @Roflcakes: I must agree, it is rather odd for a site to allow toddlercon, but to be against bestiality.
Either way, I have to wait until the DA admins get back to me- Although IB seems to be a pretty welcoming place, I'm MUCH more accustomed to DA, seeing as I was there since 2008. Habits are hard to shake, after all. All in all, I just need a gallery site to start doing commissions.
Roflcakes: @Gomenasai: I think the focus of HF is porn, but I've seen people post non porn stuff that's been accepted, so idunno. Not really a big fan of HF myself (mostly just the design, which is awful), but hey! at least they have very lax content policies!
I feel ya on that... It's such a nuisance keeping up with multiple galleries!
You could probably get away with a tumblr, bro. I hear all those reports of "no foalcon" and "no human on pony" were all just misinformation and that the actual tumblr rules just state "no bestiality or cp".
Roflcakes: @bAv-R34: I imagine their reasoning has something to do with the law, but who the fuck knows. They're probably just trying to be safe about it.
Deviant art is srsly a hole, dude... You should leave that sinking ship and gtfo while you can! Plus, I hear they take upwards of like... 20% of your commission earnings if you deal through them (which is fucking bullshit!).
Anonymous6(1): @Roflcakes: Even without the content restrictions tumblr still has that annoying 1280px limit on resolution, so it's out of question.
Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions, this helps greatly and much appreciated.
bAv-R34: @Roflcakes: Well ever since I joined the PRONZ/Penisma group on /mlp/, I've been drawing funky shit like ponies doing drugs and my skeleton OC joining their druggie adventures or raping ponies.
bAv-R34: @Roflcakes: As you could tell from my earlier posts to Paheal [namely the ones with Discord], I am very capable of pulling off some funky shit.
One time, somebody on /mlp/ asked me to draw his dick, and to use a bus for a reference. So I drew him with a bus for a dick.
