Comic Genesis Forums

I'm thinking about displaying some of my artwork online (largely non-comic related), and I'm trying to figure out the best venue for that. It may or may not become an online portfolio, in which case I will probably buy webspace when that time comes. This is very much meant to be a popular opinion poll, so think of what would most easily draw you as a viewer.

Thanks,

If it goes professional, buy a webspace. In the meantime, don't waste money on it. DevianArt is pretty simple and reliable.

As a viewer, though, your own webspace is more customizable, and that's usually more appealing. CG prefers you to have comic-related stuff on your site, though.

I'd use DA.

I use photobucket but I would recommend DA instead.

You wanna be a cool kid, don't you?

Back when I started, I piggybacked onto a discussion about "dump sites" to check whether my own modest gallery, included on my Keenspace site, was okay. I was told that it was so long as I met certain conditions: my site was mostly comic and everything was readily accessible so it didn't look like I was just trying to use CG as "offline storage" of my stuff.

I use DA for everything... It's definitely the best.

Link, please... ?

Well, you'd definately get more viewers of your stuff if you used DA right off the bat, since lots of people surf that site.

I just use my own website. It's more customizable than most places. There's no restrictions on content. And you get a cool name like Dreamers Ink and then you are able to customize your own email addresses. So I'm all for the get your own website.
