    The boomer of art sites. Built by the Japanese for the Japanese the site is absolutely HORRID for English speakers or for any non Japanese in general. I guess the Japanese mindset carries over even into online art as well...

    It seems like it's more oriented to one region of the world instead of worldwide like DA

    Great if you're a professional in digital media, concept art, etc., not so much if you're a hobbyist or other media like photography, writing, traditional art.

    It has lots of character and environment art, like DeviantArt, and unlike the others, which focus on design and photography.

    Very nice, but you have to pay for 1 year in advance and that's something I don't like. Monthly recurring payment, and I'am in !

    Only relevant if you're into photography. Otherwise look elsewhere for better sites.
