Art Community Websites

Question

I have already signed up for deviantArt, a very popular art community website, but I was curious what else is out there. My mother doesn't particularly like deviantArt because of the "vulgarity" and "impurities" of some of the art there- but that's art for you. I didn't expect anything less when I signed up. I appreciate all art and never found a thing wrong with anything on the site, but mom insisted there were too many "dirty pictures" which... Is probably true! Ha ha. I was wondering if there is anywhere else I could go to post my art [traditional pencil pieces] that would be more... Calm, maybe?

I, personally, like deviantArt a lot. It is a great site, but my mom is very paranoid about me looking at things I shouldn't. So anyway, got any ideas? I'd prefer something centered around traditional art- but everything is good to me!

Answer 1

Theres this site http://www.fanart-central.net/

basically the same but a smaller and a little more tame.

Answer 2

nothing against your mum or anything and not to offend, but she needs to understand that there are a ton more "vulgar" things out in this crazy world than just art. art like that is raw and she should appreciate the artists' choice to approach such a sensitive category. an average person will be exposed to this things whether they choose to or not.

yeah, fanart-central.net is a great site. i've been a member since 2005. they've really grown and expanded. my username is broken_lizard2 if you ever decide to join.

others would be artbistro.com or artwanted.com

there's also yerf.com and elfwood.com if you really adore fantasy/sci-fi art.
