Anywhere but DA

Is there anyway where else where I can post my art besides DevaintArt?
I was wondering becasue my Mom doesn't want me going on there anymore.
She went there lastnight and saw the darker side of DA.
So that's why I have to find another site to post my art, since I'm not sure where to go.
Please Help.
Thanks.

THE DARK SIDE, huh?
Lots of devARTists are getting accounts at MangaRevolution.com nowadays, although MR is more of a "portfolio" site and you can only post a few pics.

I was never a big fan of the site, but
Sheezy Art is another art gallery website. Naturally, there's no guarantee that you won't find the same kind of content on Sheezy Art (or any art website) as you would on DA, but it's still another site. XD

Sheezy has been known in the past for having less rules and more adult content than devart, as well as being much less reliable, server wise. I can't get into Storms rules... you have to be a member.

You gotta be a member? At any rate, Storm has been pretty nice so far.

Hey Guys,
My Mom wants my stuff off DA ASAP, but she doesn't understand that I want to have somewhere else to go where people can see my art work.
I told her that even if I go somewhere else that it might be the same as DA, but she wants me to use a "Christian" site or not at all. -_-;
I also told her that there are Christians on DA, but that didn't make a difference.
I'm thinking about making a web site, maybe. Hmm...
I wonder if there are any free web hosting sites that I could put my pics on?
What do you guys think?

You could just get a Photobucket or something. It's free and easy.

You could just upload your stuff to CAA's Art Gallery for the time being. Frankly, anywhere you find a community of artists, even Christian artists, you're going to find nude art, because of anatomical practice. The only thing I can think of at the moment is just CAA's art gallery, so I hope that works for now!

Thanks

Click on "Images Gallery" on the main forum page.
Click on "Upload," and upload a picture like you would to DA or anywhere else! Hope that helps!

Yup. You cant view any policies or rules until after you join the site.

I don't know what kind of art you do, but you might like the forums at Christiancomics.net. They seem pretty nice there, but it's small. There's no gallery either.
Other sites you could try would be Flickr or Picturetrail. I think both of them allow you to prevent image right-clicking if you want to protect your stuff.

Getting past no-right-clicking is about the easiest thing in the world though... >>;

well you can always upload small images and watermark them yourself, so they can't be printed larger than a couple inches and are stamped with your name

Well, I tend to draw a lot of fanart and original stuff.
Wow! It's been a long time since I went there.
I'm thinking about useing Flicker, maybe.

I've been using "screen capture" (either ctrl-print screen or apple-dollar) for so long, that I'm not sure if it would occur to me to try and right click anymore.

I meant that for preventing theft.
How...
Well
Size your image down to under a thousand pixels on the biggest side.
Watermarking depends on what programs you have available.

If you use Flickr, you can set it up to where people will see the picture in a smaller size and they can't download the original size.

Hey Guys!
Thanks for all your help.
Though sadly I have to wait till I get my computer back (you might have seen my computer prayer request thread from awhile back) from Geek Squad ( I should have gone to them in the first place), so for now I'm using one my Uncle's computers.
Once I get my computer back, I put my pics on Flicker.
