DeviantArt Warning About Copyrights

[Falconius]

Artstation just had a user meltdown over AI stuff, but it was/maybe-still-is a pretty great place (although the aforementioned rebellion against AI saw a huge user drop so the community is way less now). Artgram is a splinter site that was formed from users who left Artstation and looks quite promising, and forbids AI as well as actively fights against AI exploitation. Artstation has a few advantages, like a marketplace already existing (artgram plans on having one soon), but perhaps more importantly a lot of tutorials available (https://www.artstation.com/learning). There was also another one or two that splintered off but I don't know their names.

Those sites are cool, and will be useful once I start doing commissions. That's a year or two off at this rate.

Are there are any sites for simple archiving like dA is? There is no impetus on dA to monetize your artwork, if all you wish to do is showcase fan art to highlight the techniques and ability. Artstation (which I'm on) pushes you to market your art work, and I have nothing suitable for marketing at this point because all I'm doing is digitizing hand-drawn and written material for free use once it's complete (ETA: TBD).
